TINA'S ENGLISH CORNER: Peruvian e-pals

Hello,

My name is Teo TSITSKISHVILI.

I have a big family.

My hobby is reading classical books and playing the piano.

I am crazy about red, white and original grand pianos.

I am interested in pyramids and I always wonder why people rub pyramids.

As you know, I am from Georgia. I live in Tbilisi that is the capital city and at the same time an historical part of Georgia. Tbilisi dates back to 5^th century.

Most of sightseeing is situated in Tbilisi and consequently there are lots of tourists. Since 2007 Tbilisi is the UNESCO’s word heritage candidate.

Here are some photos of restored Old Tbilisi.

Old Tbilisi is the place where you cans see churches next to the mosque and synagogue.

My favorite place in Georgia is Uplistsikhe. Uplistsikhe is an ancient rock-hewn town in eastern Georgia.

It dates back to 7^th century. That’s how it looks like now.

Please write me in some words about you, your family and your likes and dislikes.

As for Peru, I’d like to know if people in Peru are still wearing tunics and how modern tunics look like.

Loves,

Teo.

Hello,

My name is Kato MELIKIDZE,

I am 11 years old. I am Georgian.
I have a small family. My family members are lovely and joyful.

My hobby is playing the piano and listening to Pentatonix group.

In my free time I always listen to music.

I don’t like Kety Pery and mashrooms.

I live in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. There is a wide variety of nature and architecture in my country.

My favourite place is Gogia’s castle. It is in Borjomi city. Borjomi is a resort. Borjomi is famous for mineral waters.

Gogia’s castle is very near to my house in Borjomi. It was built in 14^th century by Gogia that was the third brother. The three of them build castles.In the castle people used to lit fire to signal the villagers the arrival of annemy or the start of war. There were lots of halls and a huge fence of the castle.

The castle is on the top of the mountain. You can see the whole Borjomi from there. The view is especially exciting in the evening. When I am sad I go there.

It is believed that once, when brothers were having dinner, they started argument that turned into fight. Both brothers died and it is said that their ghost still continue fighting at the day break and the fight continues up to the morning.

What about you and your country?

I’d really appreciate if you write me about your country’s festivals.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Loves,

Kato

Hi ,

I am Ana ALEXIDZE,

I am from Georgia. I live in Tbilisi.

Here are some of its photos.

It is true that Georgia is a small country , but there are lots of things to do and lots of places to visit. We have Black sea. It's perfect if you like swimming and if you like skiing you can just visit Georgian skiing resorts too.

I love singing. I am outgoing and my favourite candy is Churchkhela. It looks like a huge candle.

It is made of sugar, grapes juice and nuts.

Grapes'juice is boiled with some sugar and flour in a huge pot. Then they use needle to get the nuts on the rope . Then they dip this rope with nuts into the boiling grapes juice and then they hang Churchkhelas to dry.

That is how it is getting dried.

That's how it looks inside.

It is really delicious. If once you come in my country I definitly recommend you to taste it.

What about you , your interests and your country?.

I 'd like to know in some words about the modern and ancient architecture of Peru.

Loves

Ana
