Yo !! It's great !! But my names (first and family) are much shorter. You
have to work much harder, than me.

> my dad has tons of names for me!!

My dad calls me Asia or Ashka.

> I hate those names!!

And I like them.  There are other things that make me mad. For example, when
he trys to make an order in my room.
Thanks for Your pictures. And this is one especialy for you:
                  O                                OOO

Dear Bill !!!

I am fine! Thank you. Life in Poland is like life in other european
countries, but we have cooler winters and warmer summers. I have one
question. How can  you write? Do  you use special keyboad??

>I do not like school do you

I don't like it too, but I've have to learn.

>do you get good grades ?  I got all c last time this time. I am hoping to get

Does the "c" grade means, that you have a, b, c, d, e grades? We have 6
different grades. The worst is 1, the best is 6.

>do you have field day in poland
> field day is a day where the kids participate in the fifty yard dash and
> stuff like that

We don't have day like this, but we have in June the 1st the "Children Day".

Dear Miss (?) Weeg and class,

I think it is not a big "thing" to answer 35 e-mail's. I have a lot of time.
Almost every day I have new mail, from new
boy or girl and every day I answer for mail, from someone who I know.

>Would you tell us about your holidays in Poland?

=======================================

I am living in Warsaw, but I will not spend here my holidays. My last
vacations I spent in Italy. It is a beutifull country.
But when I am in Warsaw I am going to my grandparents. This year I am goin
to holiday camp. After that I will  sail on "mazury" lakes. My dad is a
sailor and he will lease a sail boat. In August I will go to old Polish
capitol - Krakow. It is very old city. There is polish kings' castel -
Wawel. There are many museums in Cracow, too.. After we will go to climb in
Tatry Mountains. My holidays will star at June 24th. At September the first
I will go back to school.

Thank you for writting back to me Miss Weeg.
