Dear, Mathys

 

Hello, my name is Sebastian, I am ten years old. Thank you for your question. To answer it my favourite video game is called Minecraft. It is a game where you spawn some place in a world made of cubes and you have to mine, craft things, build, kill “mobs” and survive. My favourite foods include pizza, samosas, milk, ice cream, cookies, cake and pie. I know English, French and a few words in spanish and chinese. I’ve been to Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the USA and of course… Canada!!! We have 2 lunches and 2 recesses. I love swimming so much! Here in Ottawa it is getting cold. What about in Montguyon, is it cold or hot? Do you play Minecraft? How many countries have you been to? How many languages do you know?

I heard you had a 2 week holiday a few days ago, how was it? I celebrate Christmas, Halloween and Easter! For school we get 2 weeks off for Christmas, a week off for march break (which is like Spring break) and the monday after Easter off. Well that’s all for this letter then!!!

Your penpal,

Sebastian

Greetings and Salutations! Thank you for your letter. Yes I do like badminton and I don’t exactly like ping pong, although I do love video games!! My top three favourite video games are # 1 Cash. Ink # 2 Monster Legends # 3 Subway Surfers. Now I will ask you some questions. First of all, what are your holidays? One more question… do you like bordenball?  I want to know some stuff about your province. What can you do in France when you have free time? 

Another question, what is one place that is famous? 

Sincerely, Zachary

Dear Maly, 

Thank you for the questions. I have some answers and some other questions. You asked me what kinds of sports do I like to play. well my favorite sport is curling I do it on Sundays but I personally don’t think once a week is enough. 

Have you ever traveled outside of France?I have traveled outside of Canada a couple times but mostly only to the United States,Michigan.   

Here are some things about Canada: Sometimes in Canada the temperature is too hot to go outside and sometimes it is too cold to go outside, Canada is the second biggest country in the world, we don’t drink a lot of double doubles. 

    Please write back!!          From Olivia

Dear Simon

Thank for your letter, and your questions. I appreciate the curiousness. For the 2 Truths and 1 Lie, question 2 was not the lie! It was number three, but good guess. Yes I would like to be penpals with you! To answer your question, no I do not motorbike, but my cousin does, but not professionally. I wonder, do you motorbike? Motorbiking is pretty cool I guess. Is it usually hot in France or cold? In Canada it’s usually hot. What kind of video games do you play? I play Minecraft and Fortnite, Minecraft is a survival game where you spawn on an island, you have to build, create and survive. I guarantee, anything you think of you can build. Fortnite is a game where you shoot and build. There’s no blood, so family friendly. You use the building mechanic to cover fire, it’s a fun game. I ́m not encouraging you to be like me, but you can play these games if you chose to. My favorite food is pizza and burgers. I don’t really have a sweet tooth. That’s the food I like to eat. I have been to a lot of countries. 

I heard your weekdays are longer than ours, our weekday only lasts 7 hours. I’m pretty sure why you have more holidays. Well I’m going to have to end this letter because im running out of ideas, it was a pleasure writing this letter.

Sincerely,

Seyar

Dear Loane,

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for your letter! I would like to tell you that you…got…. it…. WRONG!!!!! Canada can be as cold as mars! The lie is that Canada is the coldest place in the world! How old are you? Now it’s time to answer some QUESTIONS!!!! I kind of like to speak french but I don’t hate it learning french though. French is easier to learn than chinese and if you’re wondering why I learn Chinese is because my parents are Chinese so I am chinese to, even though I was born in Canada. I am wondering, how does your school work and do you have a free period? What do you do on a regular day and is France hot? I would be very happy if you replied with the answers to my questions!

Here in Ottawa it is not up north where it’s super cold. It is pretty warm in the summer sometimes I can’t take the heat when I get in the car on a hot day in the winter it is not as cold in places more up north an it can jump from -10° to -1° in 2 days. In Ottawa there is no polar bears and we don’t live in igloos like people who live in different places far from Canada think because its too hot in Ottawa for that all year around. Anyways that wraps it up for today! Goodbye!

Sincerely,

Tyler

P.s. I’m sorry I wrote a lot.

Dear Mathis,

Hi! I’m Marissa and I want to say thank you for the letter. My favorite football team is toronto FC. I love them but they are not the best. I also play fortnite and NBA 2k 16. What is your favorite video game? How many languages ​​do you know? I know Spanish, French, English, Italian.My favorite color is orange.What is yours?

Sincerely,

Marissa

Dear Lola,

It is nice to know your penpal. It’s an honor to be your penpal and I’m very excited to get to know you.Thank you for your letter and question.I will gladly tell you the answers for my favorite sport. I’m very active and I love doing sports in the world, but my favorite sport is taekwondo. Do you do boxing training? I actually did it before and it was good. Also I got boxing gloves for free from my sensei. I really love the sport but I still like all of the sports in the world. Nunavut is cold but it’s like -50 ° C because you probably already know it’s close to the north atlantic so it is freezing there. How cold is it in France usually because Canada snows so much and sometimes it’s -45 degrees C.

We have 4 seasons so it’s super hot or so cold so it depends on the season. Everyday it’s a mystery because it was so hot it was so long ago. Today it’s about -1 degrees but it’s november. I really want to go to a hotter place because it can decrease by a lot like -40 degrees. I do not understand our weather. They do not really know the right or wrong answer but sometimes they get it right the first time. 

Sincerely,

Michelle

C’est l’heure des présentations ! Qui veut correspondre avec qui ? Pour vous aider, nous nous sommes regroupés par “clique” selon nos centres d’intérêts 🙂 Et encore une fois, à vous de retrouver notre mascotte !!

Cette chanson des White Stripes (We’re gonna be friends) résume parfaitement le 1° message que nous voulons vous adresser ! But listen AND watch because we want you to find our … MASCOT !!!!!!!!! His name is Snowy. He is a polar bear. He is wearing the French flag : blue, white and red. Pierrot’s mother made this costume. We chose a polar bear because in Canada we know it is cold, so there are probably polar bears. And you, have you got a mascot ? What is her/his colour ? What is her/his name ?

 

 

 

 

Et que pensez-vous de ceux sur notre pays ??
