LETTER FROM GERMANY
This letter comes from Germany where lives and studies Helen`s sister Sandra. Sandra used to study in our school years ago.
I enjoyed this letter very much. Sometimes it`s better to follow the tips of somebody we know very well or who is close for us because teachers are often considered to be too demanding or strict.
I hope Sandra`s encouraging letter helps you to understand better why English is important language to study.
THANK YOU, SANDRA!!
Dear Helen,
I heard from our dear grandmother that you and your fellow students are somewhat not very motivated to learn English at school and I should do my best to courage you to be more enthusiastic and into studying.
Well, what can I say? The beginning of this language was not the easiest for me either. In time I have understood that English is one of the easiest languages to learn compared to for example French or German simply because the rules are very easy. But that is what I can say now when I have more than a decade of English experience and also knowledge about other languages for comparison.
Just exactly as for you, my first English teacher was Katrin Libe. I remember how we started learning English by drawing pictures of things into a small notebook and then writing names under the pictures, like "apple" and "ant" and so on. At first it was confusing but now I can tell you with absolute certainty that starting to learn any language is difficult. You are thrown into a totally new world and none of what you thought was right makes no sense anymore.
The key to being good at something is practising. The more you repeat, the better you remember. So when you learn something new, keep practising until thinking about it becomes naturally. Another thing about English is speaking. That is perhaps the hardest part about the whole thing, when you know the words and how to make a sentence, but somehow feel very silly saying it out loud. Don't worry - we are all in the same situation. You go to school to study and while studying it's perfectly okay to make mistakes, say the wrong things and write the wrong words. Only by making a mistake you can get to know that it's wrong and that is also the only way the teacher can correct your mistakes. Make sure you speak a lot of English, loud and clear.
Why should you need English? Let me tell you. The whole time I was in school, I learned English because people like our mother and grandmother said "it is necessary for you". I didn't quite understand that until I started my studies in University of Tartu and most on the material I was using was in English. At some point your Estonian skills are not enough anymore because you need to understand English to get more knowledge.
Also, when talking to people who are foreigners. I have so many good friends who know zero words of Estonian but still we get along very well. Right now I can say that of all of my friends more than half are not from Estonia. Knowing a language like English opens so many doors, gives you a chance to get to know so many new people and discover the world just the way you want to do it.
Thanks to being good at English, I am now studying abroad and I have no doubt that I will manage anywhere in the world, because English is one of the most popular languages and there is always at least one person who can help you when you get into trouble.
So, the main point of this letter is, English is very important and if you are given a chance to study this, use every last part of it. Trust me, you will never regret trying hard when it comes to studying.
All the best,
Sandra

HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN LANTERNS
On Halloween the year 4, 5 and 6 students made pumpkin lanterns. First the students designed pumpkin faces on the board. Then they had to remove inner part of the pumpkin and cut eyes, a nose and mouth into one side of the pumpkin. At last tea candles were placed inside and lit. Also, the children could taste pumpkin seeds.

HALLOWEEN
Flying witches, pumpkin lanterns, trick or treat... What do you know about Halloween?
Halloween traditions that are the most popular amongst kids and teenagers.
Pumpkin lanterns...
... are pumpkins with the inside removed and a nose, eyes and mouth cut into one side. A candle is placed inside the empty pumpkin and the light creates a scary face effect. In the past people used potatoes or turnips to make lanterns but nowadays pumpkins are more popular. People use pumpkin lanterns to decorate their homes at Halloween. Pumpkin soup and pumpkin curry are very popular meals at this time of year.
Apple bobbing
To play this game you need lots of apples placed in a big bowl of water. The competitors have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands. To make this more difficult, the competitors have their eyes covered with a scarf. You are not allowed to use the sides of the bowl to help you bite the apple.
Dressing up
People of all ages dress up as witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, zombies or monsters on Halloween. You can buy a costume from a shop or you can make your own costume at home. It’s easy to make a ghost costume from an old white sheet or wear black clothes to look like a witch. You can even cover your face in bright red tomato ketchup to look like a vampire!
Trick or treating
Children dress up and then visit the houses in their neighbourhood asking for a ‘trick or treat’. The neighbour gives them sweets or money as a ‘treat’. If there is no treat, the children play a trick on the neighbour, for example they might throw soap at the window. This custom is imported from the USA and is more popular with young people than with adults.
- Halloween is celebrated on 31st October. This isn’t a public holiday in Britain.
- Halloween is also sometimes called All Hallows' Eve, All Hallowtide and can also be written Hallowe’en.
- Halloween colours are orange and black. Orange is related to harvests because the end of October is the end of the harvest (the time when fruit and vegetables are collected). Black is related to death.

LETTER FROM SCOTLAND
Sirle Šanin is our former student who lives and studies in Scotland. This letter is from her. It`s always nice to keep in touch with the students who have learned in Konguta School. Wish you all the best!!!
Dear friends,
I am writing you from the other side of Europe. Many years ago I used to be a student in a small village school in Estonia, Konguta School; maybe I was studying in the same classroom as you. After graduation of Nõo Reaalgymnasium, I decided to go to live to the United Kingdom, more precisely to Eastern Scotland to a city called Aberdeen. At the moment I am studying in the University of Aberdeen and I will graduate at the end of this academic year.
Aberdeen is a silver city by the sea. It is called so because all the buildings are built from granite and on sunny days granite is shining. Unfortunately most of the days sun is hiding behind the clouds and the city is filled with gray colours. Aberdeen is third most populous city in Scotland. Climate here is almost like in Estonia, main difference is that during the summer temperature is not rising above 20 degrees and during the winter it is usually above 0. This also means that snow is a miracle here. But not a positive miracle, locals see it as a disaster. It is dangerous to go outside while it is snowing: most of the schools are shut down; students have to stay at home and parents cannot go to work. To be honest, it is funny to see all the locals panicking about bad weather, when I am enjoying the snowfall. Spring is the best time to visit Scotland, because the spring arrives early and stays for a long time; first daffodils usually become visible at the same time when it is still snowing in Estonia. Living by the seaside is not only a joy, we do have long sandy beaches, but it is very windy almost every day.
Here is a picture of our storm from September 2012. Houses at the seaside were covered with sea foam.
University of Aberdeen library is the building with zebra stripes.
People in Scotland and also in the United Kingdom are very kind and helpful. Average person in Scotland is shorter than in Estonia. Food is slightly different as well. People are constantly eating chips and most of the food comes out from the fryer. Fast food is very popular here. A lot of people know nothing about healthy food.
Scotland is a country with very beautiful nature. There are mountains, hilltops covered with snow, beautiful lakes, amazing coastline and if you are lucky you might even see dolphins in the sea. There is also a pretty place called Stonehaven. It takes less than half an hour to get from Aberdeen to Stonehaven. Time stops when you get off the train. All you got to do is walk around and enjoy the calm wild nature.

Hopefully you got a better view of Scotland!

University of Aberdeen was founded in 15th century (1495). At the moment there are more than 13 000 students studying in the university. Most of the buildings are old, similar to the ones that can be seen in Harry Potter movies. In 2012 Queen Elizabeth II visited our university to open the new library. A lot of people gathered outside the library to see the Queen.

LET`S GO BACK TO THE SUMMER.
Short writings of the 6th-formers.
HELEN:
My summer was very interesting. At the beginning of the holidays I visited my grandma and helped her with a garden work. It was a bit annoying. I also hung around with my friends.
In the middle of the summer I went to a camp. It was so cool. We had a swim and walked a lot. At the end of the camp, we went to a museum.
I stayed home for a couple of days. Then I had to go to another camp. I loved it too, the coolest thing was a trip on a river by boat. I made some new friends, too.
When the camps were over, I had to visit my granny again. She taught me how to drive a car. We also made some jam and juice. I watched a lot of Harry Potter movies on my computer.
At the end of August, I went to Off Road 2012 with my dad. It’s a car race, but in mud. There also were trucks, motorbikes and ATV-s. I had a lot of fun there. The days were long. The start was at 9.00 a.m and finish at 6.00 p.m
Before school, I made a trip to the castle of Alatskivi, Science Centre Ahhaa and the waterpark Aura. After visiting Ahhaa, I had few hours to go shopping in Tartu. I bought some clothes for school.
And that was my summer. It was very interesting. I loved it!
MARIANNE:
At the beginning of the holidays I helped my mum in the garden. I looked after my aunt’s child. I enjoyed swimming. In the middle of the summer I hung around with my friends. I went swimming with Eneli. At the weekends I learned Russian. At the end of August I helped my granny beacause her arm was broken. Before school I enjoyed last days of my holidays.
REELIKA:
At the beginning of the summer I went to Tallinn there was a festival called Õllesummer. It was very cool because there were many singers. After that I went to Finland and visited my sister and father who work there. In the middle of the summer I went to Elva and stayed there for three weeks. I went swimming every day. The summer was quite boring because there were too few sunny days. Every week I went fishing, sometimes I caught the fish but sometimes not. At the end of the summer I visited Otepää adventure park.

STUDENTS` WRITINGS
Helen from form 5 wrote about her family:
There are nine family members in my family. My mother, father, brother, sister, granny, grandpa and my second granny and grandpa. We don’t all live together. My father is the strongest in our family. He’s a builder. He can mend many things. My mother is older than my father. She works at school. My brother lives with my father in the countryside. He’s actually the most famous in our family, because he’s been on TV. My sister is older than my brother. She lives in Tartu. She’s very friendly. She’s not as busy as my mother. My granny works at school. She’s a teacher and a librarian. She’s younger than my grandpa. She’s always busy. My grandpa is the oldest in our family. He’s not very strong anymore. My second grandparents live in Elva. My grandpa is always happy. I am the youngest in my family. I’m not very strong, but very busy. I also have a cat. She is very fat and lazy.
Students from form 6 wrote about their hobbies:
Hobby is something that people like to do in their free time. My favourite hobby is acting. Acting class is after school. Acting is fun. I began acting five years ago. I usually act once a week on Tuesday. I am seriously interested in acting. Acting makes me more confident. Acting takes up a lot of my time.

Some people collect things, but some people do sport.
I have lots of hobbies. My two favourite hobbies are hip-hop and volleyball. Hip- hop is on Tuesdays and on Thursdays. Our trainer Merit is very cool and she makes us laugh all the time. I would like to be the best hip-hop dancer in the world. I began it about 4 months ago. Volleyball is on Mondays and on Wednesdays. I like volleyball very much, because I can do something what I like to do. Me and Helen usually play together, because we are not very good players yet. I like volleyball too and I think that I am better player than before. I began about 4 months ago.
I like sport and dancing very much. Sport is good for your health, because when you don`t relax or watch TV all the time then it isn`t good for your body.

There are many hobbies in the world. One hobby that my friend has is collecting posters. He has over 100 posters. One of my biggest hobbies is just chilling with my friends. I think that my hobby is the easiest hobby in the world. I think that this hobby is fun because u can be with your friends. I think that every child and teenager in the world likes chilling. This hobby is cool because u can talk with your friends about your fears and dreams and they talk about their fears and dreams. And another thing why I like chilling is that if I feel bad then my friends always make me happy with their jokes. I recommend everyone just chill with their friends. This was my hobby. I hope you liked it.

My hobby is reading. I do it every day. I borrow books from the library or buy them myself. My favourite stories are scary stories, but I quite like fairy tales. I think reading is not very expencive. I began reading about 5 years ago. My favourite books are written by Astrid Lindgren. I usually read books in the evenings. We have about 100 children books at home. I don`t like thick books very much, but sometimes I read thick books too. My favourite book is „Vana roosa maja“. I enjoy reading very much.

I love dogs very much. I don´t have a dog but my friend has. We play with her dog every weekend.We run, play and do a lot of good things. Her dog´s name is Mustang because he´s a very fast dog. He´s black and he has a white tail. We love him very much. Mustang is very strong, too. He´s only six months old. My friend got Mustang this summer. At first Mustang was very scared but now he´s very brave. He`s not very big. He loves cats very much.

My hobby is hip-hop dancing but I´m not seriously interested in. I began hip-hop dancing four months ago. I like hip-hop because it`s so interesting. Every day when it is hip-hop training I learn new dance steps. Merit is my hip-hop teacher. Merit is so funny and we laugh all the time when she tells joke.I like drawing, too. I think I can draw very well. I have so many beautiful pictures what I`ve drawn. My mother was a very good drawer when she was young. In summer when I have free time I swim with my friend. I think my hobbies are cool!!!
