About

I am the only girl in my family. I have a younger brother. I live with mother as my father does not live with my mother. My mother is a small peasant so she cannot manage to pay school fees. Sometimes I don't come to school at a right time because she has no money for bus fares. My ambition is to be a doctor, and I believe education is the key of my life. Someone asked how I am going to achieve my goal without money since my family is poor. I believe that I can. TSF is on my side. I am very thankful.

Hi

How are you guys doing?

I understand the school semester is coming to an end very soon. Have you had a good semester? Are you looking forward to having some time off.

I have not done much since I wrote to you last time. Just the daily routine stuff. One thing I would like to mention is my volunteer work in a animal shelter. Every Monday I go to an animal shelter to take care of some dogs. This shelter has both dogs and cats. Since I am allergic to cats, I limited my work with just dogs. I take them out to walk around the neighborhood and give them many treats. Some of the dogs have been there for quite a while. I feel very bad for them. I wish I can adopt them. But I already have a dog at home. She will not be happy if I bring other dogs home. She does not want to share me with other dogs.

I am leaving for a trip to Antartica in December. I hope it will not be too cold while I am there. I will let you know how it is like there.

Hope you have a good time during your month off.

Until next time,

Indy

Hello everyone,

How are you? How was your summer? What did you do during that time?

As for me, during my break, I went with my family to visit a very special country in the Arctic Circle called Greenland. It has so many interesting facts that I thought you might enjoy hearing about its uniqueness. Greenland is a massive island located between the North Atlantic and Arctic Circle.

In Viking legend, Greenland was described as a lush, green, fertile land. Today however, ‘Whiteland’ would be a more accurate term since approximately 85 per cent of the country is covered in ice and snow. Greenland is the world's largest island with over 2 million square kilometers but it is the least densely populated territory in the world with a population of only 57,000 people.

Much of its land surface is covered in ice (imagine that!). Most of its small population lives along the ice-free, fjord-lined coast, particularly in the southwest. Its northerly position, largely above the Arctic Circle, results in natural phenomena such as summer’s midnight sun and winter’s Northern Lights.

In Greenland, the Sun does not set from May 25th to July 25th. A major part of Greenland is covered by fjords, which prevent the construction of roads. There are no roads and no railway system. All travel between towns is done by plane, boat, helicopter, snowmobile or dogsled (yes, really!).

You can learn more about Greenland by using RACHEL PI searching for it in Wikipedia.

I love Geography and I hope you enjoy learning about new countries as much I as do.

Please let me know what you will be learning next. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Jonathan Gilbert

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 madam Judy,
I hope you are fine due to Jesus protection upon you,back to me also am continuing well with my studies with the help of God.
During break time i enjoyed almost about two days.those days were Saturday and Sunday where we were having a small part.This party was so enjoyable because we celebrated as a whole family as if it was our party while it was a birthday of my young brother.
There at the party i learned something from a child who was almost five years, she live with her grandmother,She said that"God thanks for giving me a chance to be alive". I looked at her and she looked also at me and say sister flora can i go with you?,she asked,and i replied "where?",at school ,because i always see you very happy when you are coming from school."she said ,and i said worry out ,then left her.
when i reached at home i found that my God's protection and your help in my studies makes me look good.
May God bless you mother.

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 Flora,

We will be thinking of you during your exams, and wishing you well.

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

    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.
