Vacation Time by Biel Cardona

From Biel Cardona to Stephan Nesmith

Hi Stephan! How are you?

This course is finishing, there are only two days left to finish. The past weeks I had a lot of exams at school, the past week and this week we're doing the synthesis credit in groups. Tomorrow all 3rd of ESO classes will go to visit some interesting places in Tarragona and also to the beach. This is going to be the last outing of this school year.

I really want to finish this course and go to the swimming pool with my friends. I love summer and I need holidays because I'm so stressed! This summer I am going to practice my English because I will go two weeks to a small town by the seaside called L'Escala in Girona and I will combine English classes with sports. I will also go to visit another city called Solsona with my parents, too.

This summer I'm going to go to the swimming pool every afternoon with my friends, and perhaps, I will paint something ( I will help my father paiting houses, because he works as a painter), and maybe I will do some school work too.

And what about you? What are you going to do this summer?

I think it’s the last time that I write you. I liked sending you some letters along this course... and I hope that I will continue next year. Have a good summer!

Kind regards,

Biel

Vacation Time by Gerard Capdevila

From Gerard Capdevila to Varsha Rana

Hi Varsha,

Here in Spain we are ending the school year with a lot of work because I had exams last week. Now, two weeks ago we made ​​a synthesis project in relation to the theme of travelling in all the subjects. We will also go on a trip at the end of the school year with all students of 3rd ESO in Tarragona. I hope you all will pass all the subjects but it will be difficult for me because I failed the Catalan language.
I wish you had a good summer and next year we can continue writing to each other as this year.
Enjoy the summer!

Best Regards

Gerard.

MY ROUTINE by Maria Masip

From Maria Masip to Lily Cohen

Hi Lily! Today I will explain my two routines, from Monday to Friday and  the weekends. The days I go to school I wake up at 6 in the morning, I have a shower, I brush my teeth, I dress myself, grab breakfast at 7 am and get on the bus. The route the bus goes through different towns and 7:50 I am at the entrance of the school. We have three hours of class, after half an hour of rest and we return to work three hours more. At 14:10 pm we leave the school and come home at almost 3 pm. I eat alone every day, because my parents have to go to work and my brother has lunch with them. When I finish eating I sleep on the couch when I wake up and do my homework. Many days I do not work I run or I go to the gym. I like taking care of my body.  After dinner, I watch TV and go to sleep to start again the next day. Now that it's warm, I go out with friends during the afternoon. During winter it's too cold to go outside.

At the weekends I wake up later than the week days and on Saturday I usually go shopping. So far I do a computer course with my cousin Mark. In the afternoon I  go out with friends at the bar or in the street. Some days we go to other towns nearby with school friends. On Sundays I do homework and go to the street with my friends. I like spending time with them.

This is my routine.

Vacation time by Sara Camí

From Sara Camí to Rachel Foster

Hi Rachel! How are you?

Now, I'm going to tell you my plans for this summer.
This course is finishing, it is only remaining these two weeks of exams and the rest, we'll do the synthesis credit with groups of students.
In late July, I will go to a summer camp in Girona with my friends of the town. There we'll do BTT, windsurf, water sports, snorkeling, paintball and other fantastic activities with fun.  We will stay there for eight days and when we arrive in l'Albi, it will be the Festa Major of my town. A very big and important party of my town. In the Festa Major, every year, we do many activities like gymkhana, pool games,.. and at nights, we go to the concerts until late. The last day of Festa Major, the children of my town perform a show: Escala-en-hifi. Escala-en-hifi is a show that means to make people think that you are singing a song as if you were the real singer, dancing and performing the number as well as you can, imitating the same movements that the singer usually does. It is very fun, and me and my friends participate every year. We had a great time!
The rest of the summer, we go every afternoon at the swimming pool, walk around the town and at nights, I meet with my friends, too. This is all, and what about your summer?
I hope your answer soon.  I like sending you some letters along the course. Have a good summer! and good luck to you!

¡Hola!

Yo vivo en Oakton, Virgina. Oakton está muy cerca de Washington D.C.. El centro del gobierno de Los Estados Unidos está en Washington D.C.. Es una ciudad grande y está muy llena y limpia.

Está entre Virginia Y Maryland en la costa este de Los Estados Unidos. Hay muchas cosas históricas, pero también hay muchas cosas normales. Hay parques, restaurantes, supermercados, casas, peluquerías, cafés, zapaterías, tiendas de ropa y otras tiendas. También hay universidades como la universidad George Washington

D.C. es una ciudad grande, entonces hay muchos medios de transporte. Tú puedes montar en un autobús, el metro, o un taxi. También, tú puedes caminar, conducir un coche, montar en bicicleta, o montar en motocicleta.

Hay muchos lugares interesante en D.C.. Tú puedes visitar El Capitolio, que es el centro de gobierno de Los Estados Unidos. También puedes visitar La Casa Blanca. La Casa Blanca es la casa de la familia de el Presidente de EEUU. Hay el Monumento de Washington y el Monumento de Lincoln. En la primavera puedes visitar los flores de cereza. También puedes visitar los museos.

El tiempo cambia para las estaciones. En el invierno, normalmente está muy frio. Y a veces, nieva. En la primavera, está cálido o hace calor. También, normalmente, hace sol, y los flores de cereza son bonitos. Durante el verano, hace calor y sol. Y, durante otoño, a veces está fresco, a veces cálido, y es muy bonito y colorido.

Para visitar la ciudad, necesitas dinero, ropa y zapatos cómodos para caminar, ropa para el tiempo, y una cámara. La última vez que visité la ciudad fue para un día con mi clase. Todas las clases de octavo grado fuieron a la ciudad para un competición. Nosotros tuvimos que sacar fotos de cosas diferentes. Nosotros caminamos con nuestro clase todo el día. Fue muy divertido porque me gusta mi clase y la competición fue muy divertida.

Otra ciudad popular en Los Estados Unidos es La Ciudad de Nueva York. En inglés es New York City, o NYC. Nueva York es muy diferente que D.C.. Nueva York tiene más moda y entretenimiento, y es más grande, animado, moderna, y brillante. D. C. Tiene más historia y monumentos, y el gobierno de Los Estados está en D.C..

¡Adiós!

Hi Carson ! I think this will be the last letter I will write this year and I'm going to tell you a little bit about my marks and what I'm going to do in the summer break.
Right now I have final exams . This term I have improved in some areas and have worsened in some others, but I'll try to fix the bad marks. This week and the next two weeks I have many important exams so I have to study hard . The last week of June we have the Sintesis Credit so I won't have a lot of homework or exams and I can enjoy more the pools, that they will be opened on 8th of June .
I'm going to go on vacation this summer in Asturias (Galicia) and maybe in Benidorm but they're not places that amaze me a lot. Actually I want to be on July 20 to go to a excursion to Scale . They are colonies of English and multi-sports . There I'll do rafting, scuba diving, paddle surfing and other great activities. The other days of summer  I guess I will spend them in the pool, in the beach and with friends. I'll also go to concerts with some friends. And you? How will you spend the summer? I look forward to hearing from you soon! Goodbye ! Have a great summer. It's been very nice to talk or write to you during all the school year.

Hay una biblioteca, unas escuelas, los restaurantes y hoteles, unas tiendas y farmacias, unos bancos, y muchos turistas en la ciudad. También, hay un aeropuerto, los museos del Smithsonian, unos teatros, las embajadas, el Capitolio, y un parque más grande. En D.C. unos lugares de interés como todos los museos, los monumentos y edificios de conmemorativos, y el zoo nacional. Para visitar la ciudad, tu necesitas un billete de metro, un coche, o otro medio de transporte, mucho dinero, y un mapa de la ciudad y el metro. Los medios de transporte en D.C. son el metro, los taxis, un autobús, una bicicleta, un coche, o un camión.

El tiempo en la ciudad cambia con mucha frecuencia y es templado. En la primavera, hace fresca, hace sol, está nublado y está viento a veces, y llueve. En el verano, hace calor, hace sol, esta húmido, esta nublado a veces, y  a veces hay tormenta con relámpaga también. Todás las horas son diferente. En comparación con la ciudad de Boston y D.C., Boston es más residencial que DC. Boston está en Massachusetts y está sur de Nuevo Hampshire y norte de Connecticut. La ultima vez que fui a D.C. estaba con mis amigos de mi escuela para tomar fotos de para ginkana. Fuimos por toda la ciudad … fuimos a hoteles, museos, monumentos, parques … todos. Nos gusta la ciudad Washington D.C. porque es muy bonita, variada, y tiene muchos monumentos y edificios interesantes.

¡Adios!

Hi Rachel!
This course is nearly finishing, this week and the next fortnight we'll do many exams and we're already beginning the synthesis credit, which is a practical work about a theme "Travellers".
I enjoyed sharing letters and writings with you during this course, I hope to continue so next year .
These summer holidays  are going to be more or less the same as the last year. I almost every day will go swimming with my mom in the morning, then I go back home for lunch and in the afternoon I meet with friends to go to the swimming pool again and play sports or games. Other weeks I go on holidays with my family, I do this every year, the last year I went to a cruise and it was very funny, I like it a lot. Another week I did rollerskating for some days. This is more or less my holidays.

Hope you have a nice summer holiday too!
See you soon!

It has been a pleasure to talk and meet you although online of course!

Kind regards,

From Sonia Sans to Jasmine Hellmer

Hi Jasmine,

This course is finishing, this week we do many exams and we're already beginning the synthesis credit that it is a kind o research project. 

I like sharing letters with you during this course. I hope to continue next year.

These summer holidays will be different. Into seven weeks I'm going to travel to Ireland. I'm going to stay in an Irish family for two weeks. I’m very excited for this experience but in the same moment I’m a little bit scared. It’s the first year that I travel lonely and for so much time. I will return to Catalonia in August. In August I’ll go to the swimming pool, go running and a lot of local parties with my friends! August is my favorite month because it is the month of the Major Feasts and it’s also my birthday. On 31th of August I will be 15 years old! I love the summer! It’s my favorite season. What about you? What will you do in summer?

I would like to know what you will do this summer.

I hope your answer soon and if it’s possible I'd like to continue chatting with you next year! Enjoy your summer very much!

Love,
Sònia

Mi Ciudad- por Jasmine Hellmer

De Jasmine Hellmer a Sònia Sans

¡Hola Sònia!

Yo voy a describir mi ciudad:

Yo vivo en una casa en D.C. con mi familia intermedia. Mi casa está cerca de la escuela Flint Hill y al lado de la escuela Waples Mill.  D.C. es un distrito grande y lo es el capital de los Estados Unidos. El presidente vive y trabaja en la Casa Blanca. Además, la ciudad es muy bonita y está llena de gente.  Sin embargo, la ciudad es más comercial que residencial porque hay muchos rascacielos.  Hay todos grupos étnicos y culturas diferentes.  Washington D.C. está en el Este y entre de Virginia y Maryland.   La ciudad está así que cerca del río de Potomac y la costa también.  En conjunto, el tiempo de Washington D.C es templado. En la primavera, hace fresco, hace sol, hace viento, está nublado y llueve. En el verano, hace calor, hace sol, está nublado, hay tormento con relámpago, hay húmedo y cae granizo un poco.  Además, en el otoño, hace fresco, hace viento, está nublado y llueve. Finalmente, en el invierno, hace frío, está nublado, hace viento, hay tormento, llueve y nieva.

Washington D.C. es una ciudad muy divertida y interesante. Para visitar D.C. necesitas un mapa y mucho dinero porque el aparcamiento y los restaurantes son muy caros.  Hay muchas lugares de interés.  Hay muchos museos, monumentos famosos y otros edificios importantes. En el céntrico hay una biblioteca, unas escuelas,  unos restaurantes, unos hoteles, unas tiendas, unas farmacias, unos bancos, muchas turistas, el aeropuerto de  Reagan Nacional, unos museos ( Smithsonian), un teatro, unas embajadas y muchos parques.   Para entretenimiento, puedes visitar los monumentos, los edificios de conmemorativos, los parques, el zoo nacional o los cines.   Cuando quieras tomar un tipo de transporte, puedes tomar el metro, un taxi, un autobús, una bicicleta o un coche.  

Me gusta Washington D.C. y Boston, Massachusetts porque son dos ciudades grandes y popular.  Boston está en Massachusetts y esta sur de Nuevo Hampshire y Norte de Connecticut. Sin embargo, D.C. está sur de Maryland y norte de Virginia.  Boston es más residencial que D.C. pero D.C. es mas comerciál que Boston.  Los dos ciudades son importantes de la historia de los Estados Unidos.

La última vez yo visité la ciudad con mis amigos de mi escuela. Fuimos alrededor de la ciudad para tomar fotos de para ginkan con nuestros compañeros. Nosotros comimos en un restaurante de sándwich que está en un hotel. Me gusta Washington D.C. porque hay muchos monumentos interesantes, comida buena y es variada.
