A minha participação na revista... o meu texto foi um dos escolhidos!

A revista é anual e é editada pela Stevenson College. Os textos, os poemas, as reiceitas, as fotos, etc são uma forma de todos alunos contarem um pouco a sua história e dar a conhecer o seu país, a sua cultura e as suas ideias, tudo com a ajuda e  supervisão dos professores. Fiquei orgulhosa do meu ter sido seleccionado e gostei também de ver e ler os textos dos meus colegas! Deixo aqui como prometido...

«Hello everybody!

I came here from Portugal. I have been living for six months in Edinburgh, Scotland. Before I came to live here, I had visited a few European countries, such as Spain, France and England, but my family and I luckily decided to live, work and study in Scotland.

When I was a child I read a book about Scotland, witch was fascinating me and I have wanted to know this country ever since. With some difficult we head here last August after doing some savings to make this wish come true, I realized the description of an old city - Edinburgh – with a wonderful landscape in the book, was true. The city of Edinburgh seems small but it is not, Edinburgh never ending, I am taking it all in, little by little!

There are a lot of things I love here, I will just write about four:

·         I like the good manners of people in shops, in queue and on public transport; they use all the time expressions like sorry, thanks and cheers that is fun and elegant.

·         I really like the way of thinking, therefore, the way of acting, the British people are very different from Latin people, in fact, here nobody talks about you if you are fat and you are using a big mini and yellow skirt, or if you dress in red from head to foot. The main thing is to have self-confidence that will help you in your entire life.

·         The other thing, I like, is to see the number of beautiful babies and how they smile; I think the birth rate is up here?

·         Finally I have never seen so many people treating as gently pets as this country, I never seen a homeless dog, on the contrary, they are well-kept with respect that is way they have such refined manners!

Actually I am improving my English in Community- based ESOL at Duncan Place and I am making the most of all the opportunities life gives me!

Sincerely,

Ilse F. »
