Hi there!
I've just got your e-mail and here is my answer. I live in Plaka, a very old neighbourhood in one of the most beautiful cities, Athens. It's under the Acropolis! I can see it from my window. It's beautiful, especially at night. My neighbourhood is near the city centre. There aren't any wide streets. All of them are small with traditional houses, churches and art-and-craft shops. There are a lot of Greek restaurants and some night clubs. There is a tourist information centre because lots of tourists visit Plaka every day. They go to the centre and get information about places to visit. There's also an Art Museum for children where I often spend time at the weekends. There's always something interesting to do with other children, such as pottery or drawing. You can see Plaka in lots of old Greek films. I'm sending you a photo. I love it! What about your neighbourhood? Love, Helen |

Hi there!
I'm Jean Paul. I'm 12 and I live in Tours, in France. My city is about 250km from the capital, Paris. I live with my mum, my stepdad and my stepbrother, Thierry.
My day is very busy. I get up
at 7 o'clock, have breakfast and leave for school. It's only 10 minutes on foot so I don't get the bus. I usually ride my bike to school. I'm never late.
Lessons start at 8. I'm in Year 5 and my favourite
subject is Social Studies. We learn about our city and our rights. I also study Ancient Greek! The Greek alphabet is so weird! We have a lunch break from 12 to 2 o'clock.
I don't eat at the school canteen. I go back home. Then, we have lessons
again until half past four (boring!). |
In the evening, after dinner, my parents
watch TV. I prefer listening to my CDs and reading my comics. I also tidy my room a bit because my mum goes crazy if i don’t. But i hate it of course. I go to bed at around 11 o’clock.
After school, I always play the guitar for half
an hour. I relax this way. Then, I do my homework. On Wednesdays I play tennis at the tennis club. In France, we love playing tennis and cycling. Do you know anything about the Tour de France?

Dear Mike,
It's Wednesday, 14:30 and I'm in the library. I'm waiting for Silou, an Indonesian friend. You know, I speak English with her all day. Our teacher, Lyn, says we must try to do everything in English. I'm staying in a small room but it's cosy. In the mornings, we have lessons from 9:00 to 12:30. The food is tasty but not really healthy. Thank God, there are many different salads! I eat lots of them. After lunch, we leave on excursions to Windsor or to London or we play sports and games on campus. Our teachers are always with us (is that good?). In the evenings, we organise parties. I think it's karaoke night tonight. I love this place! It's full of surprises. Got to go now. Silou's here and we must find some information about the Tower of London. Are you having a good time? Sure you can't come to London just for a day? Write soon, Magda |

The Braille system - What is it?
BRAILLE is not a language, but a 6-dot code. It helps blind people (people who can't see) all over the world read. Braille readers can read 100-200 words in a minute! They just touch the dots with their fingers. ![]()
THE BRAILLE CELL
Each dot has a numbered position on the cell. Each letter has its dots. For example, the letter D has dots 1, 4 and 5.
LOUIS BRAILLE (1809-1852) was from
a small town near Paris. He was born on January 4. He was blind because when he was only three years old he had an accident in his father's workshop. Some years later, he was a student of a special school in Paris. There were a lot of blind students. Louis was very bright and he wanted to read books. So, at the age of 15, he invented the Braille code. TODAY, every country in the world uses Braille. There are symbols for music and maths. There are also Braille signs in public places like airports, banks and shops. adapted from www.afb.org/braillebug
