Dear Student,
My name is Destiny, and some of our favourite foods here in Canada are potatoes, chickens, beef, pork, noodles, rice and bread. I live in a house that has siding for the outer walls, and shingles for a roof. We have a living room our TV and our plants, our kitchen were we cook and eat our meals. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
At my school in Richer, Manitoba we have fewer than 150 kids. Our school only goes up to grade 8, and then you go to high school. Some of the subjects we study are E.L.A, science, history, math, gym, health, and grammar.
We have a very cold climate in the winter, and in the summer it’s very warm. Our national language is English and French. The way that me and my friends greet each other is saying “hey” and what we did the night before. We go to school five days a week for 6 hours (9:00am-3:30). Our school year begins in September and ends in June.
When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is get my clothes out. I usually wear skinny jeans, skinny jeans are just very tight, I also wear a t-shirt, and a hoodie. In the summer I wear a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops.
A very popular sport in Canada is hockey, for hockey you have a stick with a curve at the end, and pass a puck back and forth, between each teams end trying to score on there goalie. But I prefer figure skating, figure skating involves jumps and spins on the ice, there are also elements called skills and dance.
Some of the holidays we celebrate are Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and a lot more. One of the biggest historical events in Canadian history is July 1st, also known as Canada Day. It was the day that Canada became a country. We also celebrate Louis Riel Day, and the Olympics are being held in Vancouver, British Columbia this year.
My biggest goal in life is to go to Italy and study to become a lawyer at the Hamline University of Law in Rome.
Thank you for reading about me, but I’d like to know a little about you. What’s your name, do you have a favourite sport?
Sincerely,
Destiny
