I enjoyed my Carnival holidays:

I went to see the “trapalhão” parade in Funchal;

I studied a lot for all my subjects;

I dressed up, this Carnival, as a folk guy (vilhão) with my friends. We had a lot of fun!

Last weekend

Hi there!

I didn’t do anything special this weekend.

Saturday morning, I woke up, got dressed, made my bed, had breakfast and cleaned my room.

After 10:00 a.m., I started doing my homework and study. I had lunch and continued studying.

Just before 17:00 p.m., I got dressed and went to catechism. I came home, had a shower and saw some films. A bit later, I had dinner and went to bed.

On Sunday, I got dressed and went to church. After church my family and I had a long and quiet lunch. While my parents were cleaning the house, I started to practise my clarinet. Then we went for a drive and had dinner in a little restaurant.

We came home and I had a shower. I packed my bag for Monday and watched TV until bedtime and went to bed.

I enjoyed telling what I did this weekend and I hope everyone’s weekend was great!

Living in the city or in the countryside?

Calvin loves both the city and the countryside for different reasons.

Both the city and the countryside have their advantages and their disvantages.

When I lived in the city I liked living there as there are more people, cinamas, big shopping centres…

But when I moved here to Madeira, I started to love the Nature of the countryside: the fresh air, sociable people and the scenic views. I love this calm and pleasant life.

I still like everything the city has to offer; the crowded and busy streets, lots of constructions and most important are the chances of getting a good and a stable job.

I will grow up here in the countryside because it is safe but later when I go study I would like to live in the city, maybe in London or Lisbon.

Only time will tell!

My favourite room

Calvin's room is all blue.

Hi, there!

I’m going to describe my favorite room, my bedroom. My bedroom isn’t very big nor small; it is a medium sized room. It is between the kitchen and the staircase. I don’t have a lot of privacy because I share it with my two cousins. But we have a great time together.

My bedroom is all blue; there is my bed in the right corner of the room, beside it there is my bedside table and on it there is a lamp. Above my bed there is a big poster of my favorite music band. On the opposite side of it there is my chest of drawers. Next to my bed there is a bunk bed, which is where my cousins sleep in. Between the bunk bed and my wardrobe there is a long blue rug.

I love my bedroom, it's very comfortable.

Hope your favorite room is as good and comfortable as mine.

From your friend…

City or countryside

Ricardo prefers living in the countryside. Read on to find out his reasons.

Hi, my name is Ricardo and I'm going to talk about life in the countryside and the city.

In my opinion I prefer living in the countryside because is more calm, it doesn't have too much people (it is not crowded) and there is no pollution.

I feel it is more important to live in the city, but there is too much stress, it's noisy, it is not quiet, just too many people.

I think it is easier to live in the countryside, because there aren't many streets or cars. Shopping, going to the doctor or to the airport are the reasons I go to the city.

I like the countryside because it is more beautiful than the city.

My favourite game

Ricardo's favourite game is FIFA Soccer 2009.

Hi, my name is Ricardo and my favourite game is FIFA 09 or FIFA Soccer 09.

I like this game because I like football. Also because it has my favourite clubs. My favourite clubs are SL Benfica, Man.United FC, FC Barcelona and FC Internazionale Milano (Inter de Mião). The best of this clubs is Man.United.

In the game we create players, with our names, and we create one club. The name of my new club is “Estrela da Calheta”, because it is the club where I play at this moment.

For me the best player is the incredible Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is my favourite game.
