About

The most difficult part of my life was when my father left us when I was still young. My mother had no money and no job. This family condition stressed me a lot in my studies. What I learned from that is to work hard at school so that I will be able to help my mother and my siblings. I want to be an electrical engineer. I have to study hard and take PCM, which means physics, chemistry, and mathematics. I felt proud when I was accepted at a secondary school for girls and then received a scholarship from TSF. It helped me very much. I was happy when my form 4 national examination results were very good. Two years from now I want to have finished my advanced level education and passed with flying colors.

Hi Girls

How is school so far? Did you have a good winter break?
It is summer in North America. So usually we would like to take summer vacations.

I just got back from my trip to Iceland. From the name of this country, you can figure out the weather there is kind of cold and it is. Because it is located very close to the Arctic circle, the days do not go dark during summer time. But in December, it is dark for about 20 hours. I was told the cows have to go inside the barn in October and have to stay inside until May. I do not think the cows are happy about that. So it is not a good place to visit in the winter.

It is called a country of fire and ice. We saw many waterfalls, glaciers, geysers and volcanos. As an animal lover, I was excited to see the bird, Puffin and the beautiful Iceland horses.

Here is the link for you to get some more information on Iceland

http://www.visiticeland.com

Iceland is very different from Tanzania. After reading it, you probably will feel very happy that you are not living in such cold climate.

Have fun studying.

Until next time

Hello,
Time has gone by so quickly! This is your last semester of O-level school and you will be taking the national exam very soon. I wish that you all could pass the national exam with scores in division I or division II, so that you can continue your education at the A-level and achieve your dreams. You still have two to three months before the exam so please work hard, try your best, and never give up. Your success means a lot to me and has given me strength and courage to continue to support students like you.

Hello,

How have you been? As another school year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on another successful academic year.
For fun, I’d like to share with you some interesting facts about a country that I visited with my family recently and liked it very much.
This nation is a mountainous island called Iceland located in the North-Atlantic ocean close by the Arctic Ocean. The name Iceland may not be all that appropriate because although 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers, it has a surprisingly mild climate and countless geothermal hot-spots and hot springs. It was one of the last places on earth to be settled my humans. There are some fun facts about this country that I thought you might find amusing:
1) Iceland’s revenue from whale watching from tourists exceeds any income from whaling.
2) Mosquitoes do not exist in Iceland. For this reason alone, I love this country :)
3) The Icelandic police don’t carry guns. Crime in Iceland is very low and violent crime is practically nonexistent.
4) Because the country is so safe, they have not had to build more jails in years. As a result there is a waiting list up to 3 months to be admit to jail :)
5) Around 85% of Iceland's electricity and heating comes from hydroelectric power and geothermal water.
6) They are very proud to be the “greenest” country in the world with virtually no pollution.

I hope you will use Rachel-Pi to check out this country and their images.
Have a wonderful summer!

hello TSF,
It is my hope that you are doing well with your daily activities.Today i want to share with you about how ,i spent my holiday.During my terminal break,i went at my aunt's place to live for my entire holiday.one day i was very sick and i didn't know what am i suffering from.my aunt told that i have to go to the hospital so as to get medical check up.On my side i refused to do that because i do hate going to the hospital.As the time went my health continued to be weak therefore,i decided myself to go there After reaching hospital i got some medical check up and there was nothing found in my body.That thing disgusted very much as i blamed myself for that decision i made.I returned sadly because i thought that i was just wasting my time.Doctor gave me only painkiller and emphasized me that i have to go there once again so as to have more medical check up.This is how i did...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
GOODBYE

Hello Ladies !

Welcome back to a new school term ! I hope you had an excellent and relaxing school break.

If you have the time Madam Judy requested before your break- that you write a short essay describing your break- it can be about anything you'd like it to be: from a short story you make up, to a day spent with your friends or family, to something you learned (out of school) or someplace you went, or news you heard or a meal you made....

The goal is to have some fun and to write a short creative description about you, out of school.

Thank you, be well, send any essay you can write to Madam Judy.

Hello Dorcas,

We are thinking of you during your exams.

Madam Judy had a great idea for a small project during your term break, if you can, to begin doing some writing, any kind of writing, from your imagination to a personal journal or even a list of goals. This project will increase your skills in the use of the English language.

This will also allow us to get to know you better when you send the writing to us when you come back from your break.

Have a great break!

Karen

Hello TSF team..
It's my hope that you are doing well with your life.Today i'm going to share with you a little bit about delta.Delta is a low swampy plain which is caused by deposition of sediments at the mouth of the river where it enters ocean or lake.The conditions necessary for the delta to occur are;
A river must have large load
The velocity of the river must be sufficient to allow most of the load to be deposited in the river's mouth.
Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi girls

How are you?

It is spring time here in California. We have had lots of rain in the past few months. It makes our plants very happy, especially the wild flowers. There are many hiking trails full of wild flowers. I recently went to a place called 'Death Valley'. The name sounds kind of scary. But it isn't. You think Aferica is hot. A few areas in this place are below sea level and Are the hottest places in our planet in summer. Because it could be very hot and dry, if you walk in this place without water, it could be very dangerous. There are plants in the spring. When summer comes, it is dry and bare.

You can find different land formations here, desert, volcano, salt lake basin, and even a water fall. The best time to visit is in winter and spring. This year, because of the abundance of rain, the wild flowers are blooming like crazy. It is called 'super bloom' . It is spectacular to see areas after areas that were covered with wild flowers.

How is spring time in your place?

Until next time,
Indy

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
