Over to you
Below is a letter from a Zulu girl and she is describing her life. She asks you to describe your life in your country. Read her letter to see if you have got anything in common. |
|
Dear Penpal, As I don't know how to speak English, Mr. Greene is helping me to write this letter. He tells me that life in your country is different from here in the forest. I'm from the Zulu tribe in South Africa and I live in the countryside. We live in small houses which we make from mud and leaves. I help my mother to do all the work around the house. I don't go to school but my father says that I need to learn to read and write. Because I don't know you, I have some questions I want to ask you. For example, where do you live, and what do you do every day? Do you go to school or do you spend your day in the forest? Do you have many brothers and sisters? What are they like? Also, what does your father do every day? Does he hunt animals or does he meet with the other men in your tribe in the evenings? Tell me about your mother. Does she collect berries and nuts and plants from the forest near your house? I always help my mother when she goes to the forest. Do you? This means that I am always busy. I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Naraneti |
