Hi Sara,
Of coarse I'll write to you!
My birthday's on June the first, and I like to sing, play the piano, and
act.
What do you look like? What colour is you eyes, hair?
I enjoy listening to all sorts of music, but I too don't like heavy
metal.
What sorts of pets do you have?
What are your favourite types off clothes?
What did you do this Easter?
Is there anything you'd like to know about me e.g. :
pets?
school?
life?
owl?
What I look like?
What I did this Easter?
Well that's all I have to say for now, if you want a long letter then you
can tell me
what you want to know about me because I don't know what you're
interested in.
Write back soon..........

Dear Chrissy,
Hello friend it's so nice of you that you keep on writing back to me. I'm
running out
of ideas to write to you about but I'm trying my best to write this
letter. In Tae Kwon
Do it's about two weeks to the gradings and I'm trying to attend to about
every
lesson available which is everyday of the week I think. Some people are
not
attending as much lesson as they should which might decrease their
chances of
being graded. One bad thing I don't like about Tae Kwon Do is that I get
hurt in
free sparring.
In the last letter you wrote me you said the season were in right now is
Autumn
what do know your so right.
When I was coming to school just a few days ago these girls said
something to
me from a distance which I really didn't hear but sounded like that Linda
likes
me. Linda is one of these girls in my art class who is about 50
centimetres taller
than me who's in year eight but I really don't know what they said so I
better go
and ask what they were saying to me. Yesterday I asked the girls on what
they
were talking about and they said that this midget of a girl named Linda
liked me not
the one in year eight which
is a bit freaky. Well at last it's starting to get colder a little bit to
cold if you ask
me. Probably in the few months time I will be begging for it to summer
again.
I think I might ask why do you call yourself ugly? It doesn't matter if
your an ugly
or not the thing that does matter is that your a nice person.
In Port Arthur which is in Hobart there was a massacre of lots people
getting shot
by this mentally ill person. Because of that our school had to do a
minute of
silence and I think it is very sad because of the families that suffered.
People in our class are starting to write to Greece to an island called
Samos and
I might be writing a letter to Alexandria. Is your class starting to
write to Greece? If
so maybe we write to the same person if possible.
In our CO11 one of my brother's friend named Adam who looks a bit Dopey
was
being silly and making rude noises. Our teacher Mrs Price then asked
Adam of
he repeated the noise that Adam was making. My brother Trent he is always
saying this silly song and he has changed it by using other peoples name
for
example I'll list some of the songs he had made. The original song was
"My name
is Freddy" "I like spaghetti" but these are the other
songs.
"My name is James " I take the blames"
"My name is Conan" "I can't stop moanin"
They sound silly don't they.
In the science lab at ANZAC Hill High School there are mice and
rats in fish tanks which is covered with mesh to keep them from
escaping. I was really surprised about how big the
rats were. I thought rats would be just a little bit bigger than
the niece but instead they were a few times larger.
Probably some things i would like to do is go to the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Park or to the Giant fig tree in Queensland. The Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park has places were you can go swimming with beautiful
coral reef and sea life. One bad thing about Queensland is
that most of the rain forests has been cut down over the years.
Well that's probably all I've got to say now but i hope you are have a
very good time.
From your friend

Dear Computer Pal,
I heard that you want to come to Australia. We just
came down last term and my mum said that it's all right so we
stayed here then we want back up so we can pack our stuff.
We came back down and got a house now that was 5 years ago.
We have lived in that house now we are going to movie world
and we wont be coming back in till nine weeks.
1 was just a little baby my big sister was 4 when we want up
there all 1 just no that i can just roll and
my mum could not find me and than a lady pick me and took me
to a person that had a microphone and my mum she was so skinny
she ran that fast and she could end see me than she got me and
they had to carry me on rides till i was a sleep than 1 woke up then
we want home.Then we want back to Alice Springs.
My mum had my baby sister when I was 1 year old and than 1 was
there when my mum had her and she look like my big sister and my
little sister. She cried everytime and her birthday is September
the 20th.My birthday day is January the 27 my big sister her birth day is
15 of October. When is you birthday you don't have to tell me.
Do you play any sports.1 play basketball.My team is called Rebels
and we have won four games.My friends play as well. My friends names
are Tiara, Linda, Roseanna and Shannen they play basketball with
me. Everytime 1 play sports my mum comes down to watch me
play and they bring drinks and ice cream and the whole shop
down.My sisters play with me as well and she play basketball and
soft ball and i play the same as her. Her friend play as well and
they need more players so I play for them.
We have won three games and now they are in front and the are in
the grand final. They play on the 6/4/961. Now they have got new
uniforms to play in they use to wear old uniforms.
Every time we play sports we all come down to see my sister play
and every time we go there and they play every time the ball comes
to her she will move out of the way and they will get a home run
because she thinks that she will get hit by the ball so she moves and
when we say don't move from the ball she does and she put the
team down and when they lose she says I should of caught the ball.
Then she says things about the other team. Then she says the
other team was winning because the umpire cheats and she
makes things up all the way home.
When we stop she wants to play basket ball with me and when my
1 was just a little baby my big sister was 4 whemum says no she cries
so loud she makes a fuss and I say to
my mum not worth it playing basketball if she's going to cry.
So we all go home. When the team mate comes up
and says that they lose 1 get so embarrassed when they tell me.
When I go home I tell my mum and she says not worth it playing any
more because she always cry just to play Now basketball is over
it starts on the 19/4/96 and my mum is going to play in the same
team as me so she doesn't cry like before.
On the 13/4/96 my cousin went to Tasmania for football because
he has to play for a team up there and if he gets chosen he getsto
play for AFL foot ball club. When he left on the plan my auntie was
crying. His girlfriend was crying as well my big cousin and my
little cousin was crying as well and my little brother who is 4
and who reached the house he was screaming the whole airport down
as well and now he is so sick because when some one leaves
he get sick now he is still crying for himself because they always
have a fight and if my cousin wins he has to do ten push ups and
if my brother wins my cousin has do to twenty.
Now his girlfriend is herself crying when he rings up she cries so
loud and he has to ring up every 2 minutes and she cres when
she hears his voice. In two weeks time my cousin is coming
down from Darwin and my cousin from Alice is going back up
to Darwin to live. Well I hope you have a good trip and make it here
and 1 hope you like it here with all of the Alice Springs Computer
Pals. Well I have to go now see you if you come down.
Sorry if some words are misspelled because 1 was in a hurry.

Dear Meeker Computer Pals,
These letters have been ready for you for some time.
However, our computer has been down and is now under repair.
My home computer is better now and we are working on
designing a web page with a photo of each of the Anzac Hill
High School Computer Pals.
You have personality profiles
but we may put them on the web page for starters.
We'll have more news about the Anzac Hill High School page as
we get closer to completion.
Thank you for the snail mail parcel and will share that on Mon.
after the computer quiz.
More news from us this week.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Price and Anzac Hill High School Computer Pals.
