There is only one library in my school. It is similar to the school libraries in America and we do get to weekly visit it with the whole class. Visiting the library is not optional, it is compulsory and we do visit the library on a regular basis. There are many new book stores in India and sometimes ...

When I was in fifth grade I took Telugu as my second language. Taking Telugu for me was an important thing because both me and my parents thought learning my mother tongue was important. I never learnt how to read or write Telugu before. So my parents taught me the basics of Telugu after moving here ...

Do you get two days off or a day off in your school[/QUOTE] In my school since it opened late this year every other Saturday is a working day but if my school started normally I would have had two days off ...

My experience with the community that I'm living in was completely unexpected. I was not expecting to live in a individual house and in such a big community. The first time I saw my new home I was surprised in many ways. I was surprised at the size of the house, the size of the community, and the ...
