CORRESPONDANTS/PEN-PALS

Email correspondences

Developing email correspondences is a way of putting the walls of our classroom down, of meeting new people and getting to know and understand them and of course of communicating in ENGLISH!

Let's introduce our pen-pals: Ils étudient à Hymers College dans la ville de Hull dans le nord est de l'Angleterre dans le comté du Yorkshire .C'est une école qui obtient d'excellents résultats.  Hymers College is an independent school in Hull for pupils aged 8 to 18, and provides excellent exam results and has a national reputation in music, sports, ... 

In the recently published tables of the top 50 Independent Schools, Hymers was placed 14th in the country for A Level results - the best in Yorkshire. Voici l'adresse de leur école si vous voulez aller y surfer ... : http://www.hymerscollege.co.uk/

On Sunday 20th November  I received some mail for you...some letters from your penfriends! :)

Here is one :

Cher Tony,

Bonjour, Je m'appelle Ragib Choudhury. Je 13 ans et j'habite a Hull en England aussi Je suis un garçon. Mon anniversaire est le 21 mai 1998. J'ai les cheveux noirs courts et les yeux brun foncé. J'adore le sport tels que le rugby, football et courir. Je suis très rapide à la course et et je suis très fort en athletisme.

          Je suis en 4eme dans l'école qui s'appelle Hymers. Hymers est fantastique, les professeurs sont excellents et je l'aime. j'aime l'art, les jeux, la technologie et la géographie. J'adore le dessin car je dessine bien, le mieux peut-être dans ma classe.

   

           I have a rather large family, my parents, my brother and my two sisters. I really love my family because they are nice and always listen to me. My father is 42 and and is from England but lived in Bangladesh for half his life. My Two sisters are sometimes annoying but most of the time they're ok. My brother, well he's awsome. He's chubby and cute and seems to be always helping my mother. However we may fight occasionaly.I live in a modern house covered with flowers and I think it's a nice place to live. I have no pets. I generally go running twice a week and play football and rugby. I also do lots of indoor excersise. I do this to stay healthy and fit. I've never been serfing but i don't necessary like the water.Last year i went to Bangladesh and South Africa It was magnificent. Have you been anywhere? It's been  nice hearing from you and hope you reply.

 Ragib ! 
                                                     YEAR 2011/ 2012
