sandeep said...

Ricky said...

Hello Sarahcroper………..
This is very serious problem in all over the world. According to me we should try to increase the awareness about the problem among our friends. Planting green trees and doing protests to stop further Deforestation.

monika said...

Dear sharecropper reply, global warming nowadays becomes big problem.
We should use public transport; for prevent global warming after that we take steps to reduce carbon in environment, reduce heat, switch off light tubes if its no need, because it create carbon dioxide in atmosphere. We should use recycled study notes.

Dear Tamara,
I like dancing too much, because my hobbies are listening to music and dancing. Do you like dancing? Which kind of dancing and music do you like?

Tamara said...

To all whom asked me what kind of music I like, I like Rock music, like Ozzy Osbourne, Crossfade. I do however like some of the music you said, Because I am different than most kids I enjoy listing to music from other cultures.

On weekend we are usually free, because on those days, we are free from tension, like not any burden related to study. I enjoy watching movies, listening song with my family and we clean our home. I like going for some shopping. We also go to the beach and enjoy by playing with my sister’s kids. After come back home we prepare some eatable thing like vegetarian food, and also like Indian sweets. We also do dancing on rock Indian music. I share my feelings with my friend, she is in India.

Dear Kretana…….,

On weekend days, I like to go outside such as park, beach and garden with my friends. I play with my friends and I enjoy with them very much. But sometime I spend my whole weekend time with my parents and my sweet brother, who are seventeen years old. I watch TV (comedy programme) listen to music (Punjabi pop music), cooking (sweet dishes, vegetables, etc).

Thank you very much Kretana.
