In our opinion having friends from different cultures is important because it helps us to perceive and understand more about other cultures besides our own.
It is also good to learn other languages, new customs, to know new countries, other religions and eat new foods.
This project was presented to us by our English teachers, Celeste Simões and Hicham Ait Ouaarab.
In the beginning we exchanged letters, the first at Christmas and the second during the second term, when we exchanged texts about our hometowns.
We thought this was a wonderful idea because we learned things from one another that we did not even know existed. What we liked the most about the project was being able to speak with another person from another country with a different language.
This project had several advantages, like knowing more about a country completely different from ours and being able to use what we learned in the English classes. We learned many things about each other’s countries (Portugal and Morocco) and more about the culture, customs and traditions of each country.
