Hi !

I´m writing to you because I want to tell you what we are studying in 5th grade.Now in 5th we are studying lots of things like the past participle. Also, we are studying the present perfect tense and a lot about festivals. I ´m preparing myself for level 6 presentation, but most of my classmates in 5th are going to do level 5. That doesn’t matter. They are going to ask you about festivals so they are studying that. I think it’s not easy but not hard . What are you going to talk about in the Trinity exam? What do you think about 5th? I´m studying a lot for the Trinity and Quickmarch exams .

I really wang to tell you about a festival that’s really interesting. It is called the Banana Split festival . In this fewstival you can make your own banana split ice cream! It is in Wilmington, USA, in the second week of June.I want you to come with me, some people say it’s awesome .

In my last winter holidays , I went to New York with my family and a friend . I stayed there for a fortnight in a big hotel. I did a lot of things like: going to the Empire State and visiting lots of landmarks.

I must go to break. Write back soon.

Good bye.

Hi! I ‘m writing to you because I want to tell you about my English classes and some personal things.

What are you studying? Have you studied the past simple? I’m studying about instruments. For me it is easy because I play one: the violin.

I’m training myself by studying at home for the next test we will probably have. Are you going to have a test in the next days?

Well a few days ago we had a festivals test. I would like to describe to you one I want to go to, it’s called “Watermelon Thump”. It takes place in Texas, the U.S.A, every June, where people celebrate the record watermelon. Also they mention a watermelon queen! I want to invite you!

Now I’m going to tell you about my last holidays; for my last holidays I went to Cordoba, with my parents and my two little brothers. I went there by car. I stayed there for 7 days in my grandparents‘house.

There I slept, I rode my bicycle and I cooked with my grandmother.

Well I have to go! Write soon!

Hi. Now in Language I am studying about festivals and the present perfect tense. We are practising the present perfect because of my classmates who are going to have the Trinity exam in December. I think that it is a little hard because in the exam moment you are very nervous. To be ready for the exam, you have to prepare one topic with 4 or 5 subtopics (depending on the level) and also practise the dialogue a lot. Are you going to have the Trinity exam? Do you think that it will be easy?

I am going to tell you about the Moon festival. The Moon festival takes place in China, in autumn. It lasts one day. The reason for this celebration is the change of season but there are a lot of activities like watching the full moon, eating mooncakes or singing moon poems. It is fantastic! Do you want to come with me?

Do you want to know about my last winter holiday? Well, my last winter holidays were in Cordoba and I went with my family by car. I stayed one week in a beautiful hotel.

I must go now. Write back soon.

Bye, Euge ď Š

Hi. How are you?

I´m writing to you to tell you about our progress in 5 th B and also about festivals. We are studying for the Trinity exam.

Now, we are studying about festivals in our book Access 2. We are getting ready for the Trinity exam. I think that the Trinity exam is not that hard. To get ready, I´m studying in class with all my friends.

Have you ever taken the Trinity exam? How do you train for exams?

I went to Cosquín festival, witch takes place in January. People go there to play and dance Folklore, a type of national music. In Cosquin you can listen to that music.

In my last winter holidays I went to Gualeguaychú with my mum and my brother. I got there by coach. I stayed in a hotel in the countryside with horses that you could ride. I stayed there with two of my mum´s friends. One of them had a daughter and the other friend had two daughters. I did a lot of things; I rode a horse, I played with a ball with their daughters who had a dog. I played with their dog too. I did many other things.

I must finish now because it’s late.

Write back soon.

Hi. I´m writing to you because I´m very happy. I´m going to tell you about my grade 5th b. I´m studying about festivals in the world and I am preparing the trinity exam. I’m nervous because the Trinity exam is very difficult. Do you know the Trinity exam? Have you ever done the Trinity exam? In the Spanish class I´m studying Maths.

My favourite festival is May 25th Revolution. I went there last year. It’s a big and fun celebration. I really recommend it to you.

In my last winter holidays I went camping in my country club, with all my friends and with my teachers. I got there by bus. It was very fun to go by bus. I stayed one week there. It was very long. I stayed in La Paloma, a place in Tigre. Have you ever visited La Paloma? I did a lot of activities like playing football or doing a fair and I had a lot of fun, and obviously I relaxed a lot.

Oh, I’m going to break.

Bands go there and play the best songs they have ever created . This year, the bands are coming again… Do you want to go with me?

Hi! I’m writing to you because I’m going to tell you about my English class.

Now we are studying the verbs in the Present Perfect.

We’re also studying festivals like May 25th, Jujuy week or October fest.

Some of my friends are getting ready for the Trinity exam or the Quickmarch exam. I’m not going to get ready for that. My friends say that the Trinity or Quickmarch exams are very easy. As for me, I’m trying to speak English better when I’m in my house. What are you studying now? What are you getting ready for?

I want to invite you to come to a festival that I recommend to you: Jujuy Festival. It takes places in Jujuy, Argentina, on 24th August. They dance, sing, eat, etc. It is celebrated because people recall a heroic act. The people from there made this festival.
