Dear Grade 5 Class,
My name is Marina. I am good at Art. I like to play football in the garden with my brother and sister. My brother is 21 and my sister is 17 years old. I am ten years old. I live in a house with my Dad, Mum, brother and sister. My brother works as a bus driver for First Bus Company. It's not a double decker bus, those are only in the centre of London for tourists.
After school sometimes I go shopping with my sister and my Mum. There's a new shopping centre (mall) near where we live. It has an Argo's, a fitness gym and a Warner Brothers Cinema!
We used to have a cat, but that was a long time ago before I was born when my family lived in Sudan. I've never been to the Sudan before myself. My Mum and Dad taught me a bit of Arabic. I can speak it, but I am still learning to write it.
What languages do you speak? Where do you come from? Were you born in Canada or did you move there from somewhere else?
Yours Sincerely,
Marina

 Dear Marina,

I like art, but I am not very good at it. I am 12 and live in a house with my mom, dad and my sister. My sister is only 10. My dad is a farmer and my mom is a teacher. There are not any malls in Medstead. I have about 5 cats and 5 dogs.

I only speak english, but I want to get my grandma to teach me a little bit of french. Yes I was born in Canada so I did not move here from another country. I have never moved in my entire life.(Not including my body. Of course I have moved that!)

What is your ethnic background? I am part English, part Norwegian, part Hungarian and part Swedish. I think I am a couple more but I can't remember what they are. At the bottom of this, there is a link to my grassroots site. Please go to it.

sincerely

Kris Jones
