Student+profile+Stef+Maas

Hi, I’m Stef Maas (I’m a girl), I am 13 years old and I live in Rotterdam. I live with my parents and older brother. I have pets, a dog, Bruce, and a cat Bisous, it means kisses in French. My hobbies are basketball and I play the violin, (boring…) I join a team, Alexandria 66, girls under 16. I practice twice a week and I play a game every Saturday. I used to play soccer all the time, but not anymore. Here soccer is the biggest sport, that’s probably way different from you. Rotterdam is a nice city, I like it here because it’s not too busy, but the stores are close to my house and my friends live near. I like to go shopping, but unfortunately I don’t have much time to do that, and of course I don’t always have enough money. Most of my family doesn’t live in Rotterdam, but in Amsterdam and other cities, some even live in France and others in Germany. Every year I go to Turkey to sail, it’s a lot of fun By the way, congratulations on the new president, every one has been talking about this and it’s in the papers everywhere. I’d like to tell you about my school. I join the Libanon Lyceum, there are kids from 12 upto 18. There are three different levels you can do, in order from easy to hard it’s: Vmbo, Havo and VWO. I want to do VWO, but for that I’ll have to work very hard because you need a lot of points for it. Our grades are from 1 upto 10, if you have a 1, you did everything you could wrong and a 10 means you didn’t make any mistakes. We have ten subjects: art, sports, English, French, Dutch, German, geography, science and social science. My class is great fun, 2F. I’m in second grade, we’re all 13 or 14. We join the “wereldklas”, in English worldclass. That means that we have more responsibility and we have to work in groups most of the time. I have a lot of fun and friends here. I’m really looking forward to your letter. I hope I haven’t bored you, Best wishes (in dutch: “groeten”), Stef.
