My Grandfather is very cool! He is very tall and thin and has got short grey hair.

My Grandfather is intelligent, just like me. He worked his whole life in a small supermarket near the city, but now he is retired and lives in a lovely house in the city. I love going there.

My Grandfather has got a dog called Bobby. It is very entertaining, always playing with me and keeping company to my Grandfather.

My Grandfather always takes me to the park and then we go to a pizza restaurant. We enjoy ourselves a lot.

I love my Grandfather!

Hello!

We met in the 1st year, and since that year, we are best friends. We love each other. She is very cool and understanding.

She can make me laugh when I'm sad, and she is always by my side. Sometimes, we talk about what we like, like music, fashion, languages, and about school.

We have good times together and we know that our secrets, with our connection, will never leave our souls, because we respect very much each other.

Sometimes, even though we are not neighbours, I go to her house or she comes to my place, and we have a good time together, after school.

My English teacher

Hi, there!
I’m going to talk about my English teacher, Nélio.

He is my teacher this year, and I’m in the 7th grade. He is modern. He is organized too. He does exercises for us, and we have to do them (well).

He teaches us and tells us some curiosities about England. Sometimes, somebody in our class tells me that he is a bad teacher, and they say that he is too organized and boring, but I don’t believe in that.

I think that it is good to have an organized and intelligent teacher, because that give us a good example for the future.

The only thing that I don’t like much is that he is too tolerant. If somebody does something that is wrong to do in the classroom, he just says: “Please, don’t do that!” [and notes down the misbehaviour in his file or even sends the student out to study in the Library]. I think that is good to be tolerant, but not too much, because people can abuse.

And that’s what I think about my English teacher! :)
