My room

Hey everyone!

Today I want to describe you my room. My bedroom is quite big, so I have enough space. I painted the walls purple a short time ago, with my father's help. On the walls there are pictures of my family and my friends. My furniture and the floor are made of light wood. In the middle of my room there is a big comfortable bed, I often read in it before I go to bed. On the floor beside my bed there is a big white carpet, which is really fleecy. In my room there are two cupboards, a big one and small and a big bookshelf. In a corner stands a desk and in another my make-up table. My small couch is most of the time my wardrobe and so there is always a mess. My curtains are white and purple. I like my bedroom, because it is big, comfortable and it is lovely decorated. But I have only one window in my room, although it is so big. So it is mostly very dark in my room, because my room is on the north side of our house.

I hope you enjoyed my entry and read my next again!

See you soon,

Christmas in England

Hey everybody!

In our last English lesson we talked about Christmas and the different ways to celebrate it. I want to give you some informations about Christmas in England.

Countdown to Christmas
Advent calendars are a countdown to Christmas and start four Sundays before Christmas. The advent calendar is the first sign of Christmas in English homes and offers a reason to look forward to Christmas Eve.

Decors
People decorate their houses with lights during Christmas. The traditional Christmas tree in England is the fir tree. Streets are decorated with lights and Christmas trees.

Caroling Away
People go carol singing from one house to another and collect money for poor people. This singing starts on 21st December till to Christmas day.

Celebration
Families and friends get together to enjoy and share old customs and traditions.
Family and friends lay presents under the Christmas tree. The presents are opened in the afternoon, or after the dinner. Christmas stockings are a very traditional part of Christmas in England. Children usually hang these stockings in and around the house, for Santa to fill them up with sweets.

Boxing Day
The day after Christmas, 26th December, is called Boxing Day. On this day, boys go around and collecting money and give it to the poor people.

So I celebrate Christmas:
My family and I decorate in the morning 24th of December the Christmas tree. In the afternoon we go together to the church.  After the church we go home together and to kill us the time up to the gift giving we play a few games. On the Christmas Eve we eat self-made sausages from our grandparents. After the dinner we sing a few songs together and then we unpacked together the presents. On 25th of December we visit our grandparents and celebrate with them Christmas.

I hope you know now more about Christmas an enjoyed my entry!

Guy Fawkes Day

Hey guys!!!

 

In our last English lesson we talked about Guy Fawkes Day! Who, when, where, how, and why is the Guy Fawkes Day celebrated? Let me answer this questions. This day is celebrated in Great Britain on November 5th. Children make figures, called the “guys”, out of rags or old clothes and display them in the street. The kids call out “Penny for the guy!” and collect money from passers-by. In the evening when it gets dark, people let of rockets and Catherine wheels, born on bonfires and make parties. But why do the British people  celebrate this day? They celebrate the Guy Fawkes Day in memory of an unsuccessful plot to blow up the King and Parliament in 1605.

I hope you know now more about this day an enjoyed my entry!

My new school

Hey everyone!

I have been attending the Business College in Perg for 4 weeks now. Let me tell you some things about it. I usually get up in the morning at 6:30 and my bus arrives at 7:10, so I have enough time to get ready for school. At 7:35 I'm mostly in my classroom.
Many subjects like Russian, Business Studies, Accounting and Controlling and Personal and Social competence are new for me, but I like them and so I like learning for them. We have in the first lesson on Tuesday personal and social competence, this subject is like "social learning" at the middelschool. I like this subject, because I learn more about myself. Russian is my second foreign language, and I like this language really much although it is difficult.
Our class teacher is Mrs. Werner and our class representative are Felix and Niklas. I think they will do the job very well.

I hope you enjoyed my second entry and read my next again!

See you soon,

Introduction

 

Hey everybody!

 

Today let my introduce myself. My name is Sabrina Ebenhofer and  I am 14 years old. My shoulder long hair is dark brown just like my eye colour. One of my features is the blond streak on the right part of my hair.

I live with my parents and my little brother Thomas, in a big comfortable house, in a small village called Münzbach,. My brother is attending high school at the moment . My mother works as a saleswomen and my father works as a truck driver .

In my free time I like meeting my friends, go running, reading a book, listening to music or going shopping.
