Buonas dias!

My name is Violet Romero. I live in Nicaragua. Nicaragua is a small country in Central America. It is a very hot country. Our family is large. I have five brothers and sisters. My father and mother work on the farm. We have horses, pigs and a lot of chickens on the farm. Children in Nicaragua start school when they are four years old. I am seven years old. I am a pupil at a primary school.

Our school is very big. There are 18 teachers and 570 pupils in the primary school. We haven’t got bicycles, so we walk to school every day. Our school year begins in February and ends on the 1st (first) of December. In July we have a short holiday for two weeks. We don’t go to school on Saturdays and Sundays.

In our school lessons are forty-five minutes long. The first lesson begins at seven o’clock in the morning. We have six lessons every day. The first lesson is English, the second is Math and the third is Spanish. After Spanish we have a fifteen-minute break for a snack of bread and milk. After the break we have Nature Study, Crafts and PE. My favorite lesson is Nature Study because I like animals. At a quarter to twelve, when our PE lesson ends, we go home.
