Dear Matthew and Callum,
Hey, my name is Jamyang Choedon. I’m Tibetan and I’m 14 years old. I’m 1 m 49. I am a black haired and brown eyed girl. I love music, dancing, spending my time with my friends and doing lots of new different things. I’m talkative, gentle and kind hearted. I’m a huge fan of Chris Brown. He is the best singer and dancer to me. I live in Paris with my parents and my younger brother. So these days, I have spent a lot of time in my school. I heard that in my school there were some Jewish children who were sent to concentration camps during the 2nd world war. My school is located near a big Park called Les Buttes Chaumont. In this school we can learn French, English, Spanish and Latin…. It is pretty good. I study in year 8. It’s so hard for me because I’m not good at French. I hope your school is as interesting as mine. I love English and music because English is an important language in the world and music makes me feel good I hear it. So tell me something interesting about you!
