I ve been revising for my exams now for the last two weeks. That s why I haven t written for such a long time.Since the beginning of this year we ve been doing a project called World Class. Have you heard of it.? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could. The school chooses a twin school (姊妹学校) in a different area of the world. Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda. They gave us someone to write to from that school. For three months, Ive written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me.It s been more interesting to hear about her life. She s told me all about her school and described her daily (日常的) life. I can t believe that her School doesn t. have any electricity. She goes to school from eight o clock in the morning until six. Oclock. in the evening. I can t believe how lucky we are here! She s also told me that she often can t go to school because she has to look after her baby brother and sister. Shes tried to teach me some of her language and it s really difficult.I love it because it s the first time I ve thought about what life must be like somewhere else. I can t believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us. I think more people should help out with projects like this.
