Hi my name is John. I live in an informal settlements where we don’t have a lot of money. Today when I woke up my mother was still asleep because she’s a bit sick so I looked for breakfast but there wasn’t anything. So I  went to school and it was such a long walk. While I was in class with all 60 kids in my class I was thinking about how I had no breakfast and I was so hungry. I feel sorry for my teacher because she alone has to teach 60 kids. I couldn’t focus very well because I ate nothing. Thanks to my friend he gave me some of his lunch at lunch time. When school was over I did the long walk again to home.

Hi I’m Benny and last week  was the worst day of my life. We had singing class and an inspector came  with really big knickerbockers  with thick stockings. He looked like a hunting man. He has a red and round face. He the rudest man I’ve met  in my life. He called everyone to sing except the little ones sometimes I wish I was older but that day I wished to be little. We had to do do ray me fa so la tee and stuff like that. Then he called out Charles and I. We didn’t know any songs so the inspector started shouted at us. Then Charles in a soft voice said we could sing pretty Polly. Then Charles sang it in a low kind of voice it was really bad and I sang in a high pitch voice and I could see that the class wanted to laugh. When we were done I was so embarrassed. Then he called up Gladys Armstrong and Iris Vaughan. I could tell by there faces that they were really scared. The inspector started shouting mean words at them. And that was my bad day at school.
