My favourite place in Montevideo - Juan Bonanata

The Botanical Garden is the first and the only botanical garden in the country. It’s known for its important work in the teaching of botany. The Garden also can function as a center of scientific activities, as well as information and training in botanical science to the public.

 

   In their trips the visitors may know the plants of different geographical areas of the planet and a large collection of  aquatic plants, dried plants and shade plants.

   Visitors can arrive at the garden from different areas of the city travelling on van or public transport.

The creator of the Botanical Garden was the French landscape and architect Charles Racine.

The Botanic Gardens Museum is named Lombardo because Lombardo was born here and lived there all his life.

My favourite places to go in Montevideo are the Shopping Centres.

There are 4 shopping centres here. One is called ‘Montevideo Shopping’ and it’s my favourite, the others are ‘Punta Carretas’, ‘Portones’ and ‘Tres Cruces’.

I like to go there with my friends. We go bowling or to the cinema, to have an ice cream or to have a hamburger in McDonald’s.

Sometimes I go shopping with my mum or my brother and my sister.

These are pictures of ‘Montevideo Shopping’.

The building of ‘Punta Carretas’ shopping centre used to be a jail and there were a lot of prisoners, but many years ago the jail closed and it’s a beautiful shopping centre.

This was the old jail...

.... and this is the shopping centre now.

 

In Christmas they decorate a big Christmas tree.

Michelle - My school day

When I go to school before my 1st lesson's start, I put my bags in the classroom and go to 8a. 8a is our parallel class. I go there because I have no friends in our class except for one but he came late. Then when our lessons started a quarrel I. Its  like this: teacher talking, but  except any girls no one listening teacher. One is talking by phone, the other is in Internet by phone (majority of children), the others are talking with each other. The other argue. And this condition is continuing on every lesson except English, Phisics, History and New centuries. But only our class is the greatest intellectual abilities, because we have 7 excellent students - 3 boys, 4 girls.
In our class is tens relations and thats why in our class are groups. But when we do anything together we are like 1 family. But only our classis like this and thats why all school know 8g.
If there was awful mistakes, please sorry.

Mary - My school day

I wake up at 7:00 and then I go to school. I love my school and especially my class. Because all the interesting things happen there but alsothere are normal days without any features too. At the end of the school year we start writing summative tests. And it’s normal that we have 7 lessons and the same number of summative tests: for instance today. We wrote 6 written works today. One of them was essay from literature. Its headline was “My soul wants to hover”. And then we have test from physics, natural history, algebra and Russian literature. Most interesting test was natural history test. There were a lot of interesting and absorbing questions that we must think about.My teacher of physics is my form-master too. The test of physics wasn’t so difficult. But by the way my favourite subject in school is math. So for me it was the easiest test.  It’s remained only one subject: English. Today during the English lesson our class was photographed. Every year at the end of school year all classes photographed since the first class.

So this is my school day today!
