Hi!
Do you attend (visit) Ida Ehre Schule?
My name is Audrey and I am from Las Vegas. -- Your
teacher has sent me these strange photos he took in Hamburg this
week. But my husband Bob and I don't speak any German.
Is this a special German game or something?
Is this part of the German Easter celebrations?
Why is this so colorful?
What does "Teich" mean? Is that a German word?
Is "Teich" = rock in English?
So, why are there so many Teiches on these photos?
Why are there more Teiches now? It looks as if it is the same place
only some time later.
We are completely lost.
Please explain to us, what this is all about. -- Thank
you!
International love!
Audrey and Bob

Dear 7a,
Thank you so much for your first E-Mails and Word documents. -- Now
I see!
So, people collect these rocks ... and then do this with it?
Do German animals really eat rocks. Small rocks?
And also: What has happened here:
Please explain in detail. -- How is this part of the
game?
Have people used the missing rocks for feeding some fish?
Why are those rocks missing? -- It should be a
chain of rocks, right? -- What has happened?
Since we do not know your names yet, please add
your new answers to the answers in your first doc! -- One
student, one doc! -- Otherwise we are completely
lost.
Looking very much forward to hearing from you again!
Your stories are so funny and exciting! -- Oh
dear, and your English is so fabulous!
Can you tell us more about Hamburg? That is in the North of Germany,
right?
Right next to Berlin, right?
Is there anything you would like to know about Las Vegas?
International
love!
Audrey and Bob
