La semaine prochaine

Salut!

La semaine prochaine nous ne sommes pas au collège parce que c'est la semaine des voyages scolaires pour notre collège/lycée ici à Hong Kong. Tous les élèves et profs partent en groupes pendant une semaine. 

Il y aura des voyages à l'étranger - la visite la plus populaire cette année est en Nouvelle Zélande, mais il y a aussi des visites au Vietnam, en Chine, au Cambodge, en Inde, en Indonésie, en Thaïlande, en Espagne et au sud de la France métropolitaine. 

Il y a aussi des activités à Hong Kong comme l'équitation, le gym, la cuisine, la danse, le golf etc. On reviendra la deuxième semaine de novembre.

Je vous laisse une photo d'un animal autochtone de Hong Kong, le dauphin rose. Il ne reste pas beaucoup de ces curieux créatures, mais je les ai vu pour la première fois, il y a deux mois. Avant je doutais leur existence, mais ils existent, et ils sont vraiment roses.

 

We're still on holiday!

You're back to school but we are right in the middle of our holidays.
The rainy season is not over yet. It rains pretty much these days.

For us it's All Saints' on Nov. 1st.

Did you celebrate something special during your holidays?

What I did the day before

Yesterday, I woke up very early, at 4:00 o'clock in the morning. 

I took a shower, dressed up, had breakfast and left home at 5:30 AM. I caught the bus to go downtown and waited for the school bus which left at 6:30 AM. We arrived at the high school at 7:00 o'clock.

I went to say hello to my friends. 

After the whole day, I went back home and I did my homework.

I had dinner, I spent a moment with my mother and at 8:30 PM, I went to sleep.

Generation Gap

Nowadays, the relationships between parents and teenagers are more and more tense.

There is a generation gap. Youngsters sometimes disagree with their parents and disrespect them.

These arguments are often caused by  a lack of conversation, communication.

In the years to come, how is this relationship going to evolve?

     For me, parents are not severe enough with their children. They no longer have the right to hit them to correct them. So it would be necessary to send boys back to the army to redirect them on the right track.

I wonder what the next generation is going to be like.

My relationship with my parents are very simple. I am very open to my parents. I can agree with them as well as I can argue with them. I get on well with them and we laugh much together.

There are young people who are quiet with their parents and others who are naughty. There are teenagers who obey their parents and there are those who disobey their parents doing what they want.

Today, there is much violence in Martinique in some places and it becomes a real danger for teenagers.

We need to find solutions to stop this violence.

There are parents who are concerned, interested in what their children do, who would not let them do what they want and there are others who do not care for their children.

In Martinique, there are different relationships between teenagers and their parents.

There are teenagers who say everything to their parents : their problems, their secrets, and there are others who don't say anything to their parents.

Some parents are stricter than others and despite the severity of parents, children disobey.

Relationships

In Martinique, most of the parents are very protective because they're frightened of  violence. 
Young people are fond of social networks, they love to spend time to browse the internet and watch TV.
They love partying, dancing, hanging out with friends and posting pictures on the internet.
There are a lot of limits because parents are afraid that their children sink into delinquency : they want them to become good people.

The relationships with our parents

Relationships between parents and teenagers are generally complicated. Most of them can't communicate. Nowadays, teenagers want more freedom but parents don't understand this need. Teenagers see life a different way. They think that life must be lived without any worry before being an adult and be stressed. This is why teenagers and parents get on their nerves.

To avoid those troubles, teens and parents should communicate more.

Je m'appelle Hana et mon père s' appelle Alex, ma mère s' appelle Kate. Aussi, j’ai un chat qui s’appelle Tabby. Il y a donc 3 personnes dans ma famille car mes grand- parents habitent en Anglettere. 

Je m’entends bien avec mes grand parents parcequ’ ils pensent que je suis petite. Je m’entends un peu avec mes parents- mieux avec mon père.  J’ai beaucoup de liberté cependant ils me posent toujours des questions. Ma famille est trés stricte est trés britannique.

En Angleterre, nous avons un chat qui s’appelle Puss mais il ne m’aime pas. Pus est plus active que Tabby car Tabby est un chat de maison.

Toute ma famille habite en Angleterre cependant mon grand-oncle et ma grand tante habitent en Ecosse. Normalement, je leur rend visite une fois par an.

A bientôt,

Hana Sommerville (10E)
