Tripoli Girl

School

2006-10-06T15:28:00.000+02:00

School started a week befor Ramadan. When we first went to school they said that the second year can't study English any more, so it was a big problem because I wanted to study English so much. Our principal told us to tell our parents to talk to the amana to return it and let us study English. All my frends lost hope and I was the only girl who didn't lose hope, and after acweek of trying they said that we can study English at last. The second day they gave us our books and we started studying, the sad thing is some of the teacher's are not good, but what can I say? I can't do nothing for that, but I'm so happy to study English, and I'm going to try very hard to be the top in my class, wish me luck.....Nora

the last day of school

2006-05-16T00:08:00.000+02:00

Today was the last day of school. It was kind of sad because I had to say goodbye to my friends at school. Some are moving to another school and some are staying at the same school.

Last year I used to study in another school. I really loved it and I had to move to the school that I'm in now because they didn't have specialized social science, because Iwant to study English next year.

I think this is going to be a long holiday. I'm not sure what to do. Everybody is going to watch the world cup. My parents are going to go to Tunisa for maybe two weeks. And me and my two sisters and two brothers are going to stay at my grandmothers house. It's going to be boring, no tv, no games, no nothing. I think I'm going to learn how to cook Libyan food from my grandmother and aunts - boring, boring, boring. I hope the two weeks pass fast. So I can go to my English school in the evenings.

THING’S I DO IN DIFFERENT SEASON’S

2005-08-03T16:07:00.000+02:00

In winter I go to school in the morning and I think I’m going to my English class in the evenings. But usually Thursday evenings I like going to my grandmother’s house if it’s not raining. On Fridays my family and I go to our farm.

In spring I like going on picnics on our farm. Its fun the weather is terrific.

In summer I like doing a lot of things because it’s the school holiday. I love holidays. I go to the beach, farm, my English class, shopping for summer clothes, visiting friends and our family, and I like traveling.

In autumn or fall I usually get ready for school. I go shopping for school clothes and school supplies because school starts in September.

About Me! - my homework for English class

2005-07-10T01:07:00.000+02:00

Me and my family:

My name is Nora, I'm from Tripoli and I'm 15. I'm going to be in the second year of secondary school. My father is a businessman. My mother's name is Therese and she's an American Muslim so she changed her name to Khadija. She's an English teacher. I have three brothers and two sisters. The oldest one is Adam and he's sixteen. He's going into the second year of secondary school too. I was born second, after me is my sister Sara. She's thirteen. After her is Yusef, he's eleven, then Jenna who is nine. The youngest is Ibrahim and he's going to be seven soon.

Me and my home:

I live in a flat in Ben Ahure. It's too small for eight people. It has three small bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a TV room and a living room. We have a small, ugly garden, but we're building a new house on our farm in Ain Zarah. It's big enough. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two sitting rooms and a big garden. Next to the garage is a small guest house with a bedroom, bathroom and a small kitchen. In the garden there is a laundryroom.

My free time:

Well, in my free time I like to do a lot of things, like travelling, visiting reletives and friends, having picnics at our farm. I like to go to the internet and sending letters to my friends and family in America and at the same time I chat with them. I also like writing in my blog and opening useful websites.

tomorrow

2005-06-12T23:25:00.000+02:00

Tomorrow is a big day for me. Tomorrow I’m going to get my report card from school. I’m so scared I didn’t do well in math, so I’m not sure I’m going to pass. I’m good in all subjects except math. And the best subject is English.

This year I’m studying general science. I didn’t like it. Next year I want to study social science because I want to study language and I’m going to choose English because I like it very much.

That is my plans for next year.

Lila

2005-03-12T20:12:00.000+01:00

Lila was a cat I had when I was six. Once, when we went for a visit to America we had to keep the cat at home with my father.

One day, when my father was going out the door the cat ran out and she had a fight with the neighbor’s cat. She got hurt real bad and she died.
When I came back to Libya I was looking forward to seeing her. My cousin told me that she died. I felt so sad for her. She was a black, sweet cat.

Last year my brother’s friend had a small black kitten that he didn’t want anymore. So I decided to have her. The first time I saw her I said in my heart I’m going to name her Lila after my old cat Lila…

a bad day

2005-03-05T21:15:00.000+01:00

Yesterday was a very bad day for me. I was cranky.

First my sister Jenna messed up the room while she was cleaning her closet. She has a lot of clothes so she dumped her clothes in the whole room and she didn’t want to finish cleaning it.

Second of all the weather was hot and was dusty but my father took us to the farm anyway. I was so happy to get out the house. When I was there sitting drinking tea with some crackers it suddenly got very windy. My cup of tea was full of sand and so were my crackers. After that it rained so we had to go home early. We sat in the car and had a drive. While we were going we saw two accidents. There weren’t any injuries but the cars were damaged. After I got home I had to finish cleaning the room because my sister didn’t want to finish cleaning it.
Bye

informal letter

2005-03-03T21:32:00.000+01:00

This is what I wrote for English class. We had to write an informal letter using ‘going to’.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mona:

After thinking, I decided to take my friend to the restaurant on the beach. We’re going to have a nice afternoon there.

I decided to have lunch which is going to be fresh fish, rice, salad, and Pepsi. After that we are going to play beach volleyball and have some ice-cream. I don’t think that we’re going to swim because it’s not the right time for it. The weather is too cool.

I’ll take her home with me, and in the evening my mom will cook us a nice dinner. We’re going to watch a film on TV and then we’re going to bed. In the morning we’re going to decide what we will do that day.
