Dear Avital,

I apologize for not answering you sooner, but I was busy with my coming back from Germany. I needed to organizing my things and put everything in its place. I'm really sorry for not answering you on time.

As I told you before, I just returned from Germany. It was the most amazing, challenging and frightening experience. When we got there, we went directly to the hosting families. You are probably asking yourself why we went to the hosting families intend of going to hotels…so it’s an exchanges program, therefore its proposed was to know how other people live and act in their lives.

You probably asked yourself why this experience was not only amazing, and why it was so frightening…so the answer is that we almost got lost in the center of Munich. That's happenned because we missed our meeting point and we went to the other side of the city. So you definitely find yourself asking how we got back to our group and find out that we were not in the appropriate place… So when we were in the center of Munich we walked a lot and didn't notice that we missed the hour of our meeting with the group so we went to the first road we saw and after a 15 or 20 minutes that we walked we saw that we were in the wrong place. Then we asked some Germans that went there where was the place of our meeting point and no one could help us and our phones were out of catching. After a few minutes we found a person that knew where our meeting was point and he also helpt ous to get there.

Finally, we found our group, and I am sure thet you could feel that I really had a good time there. Well, it's getting late, so I have to say goodbye. Write me soon.


Yours,
Rinat

The day and the night- What is rather?

I chose to discribe to animals that represent two other worlds. The first is the Bat, a night animal and the othe is the Chimpanzee- a regular animale, acting almost like the humens.
The Bat-
The Bat is a night animal. That means that over the day hours he sleeps and in the night he manages his life normally.

The bat is a friendly animal that lives in a community that concludes more than a million bats. They also mixs sometimes with other groups of bats, in this way they can learn more about the other's lives and get to know how to mange a better life.

The Bat is an animal that lives 20 years. The birth of the young bat occurs after two months in the mother's body. After the birth of one bat he is still near his mom that takes him from one place to another.He gets to a point in which he can mange his life by himself with his group without using his mom. The bats are considered as the mammals group of animals. Along the night the bat gets his food- some of them eat fruits and others eat insects.



On the other hand we have the Chimpanzees.
The chimpanzee-
The Chimpanzee is a common animal that manages his life along the day hours and sleeps during the night.


The weight of the chimpanzees is between 40 to 65 kilograms. Males can measure up to 160 centimeter and females up to 130 centimeter. His body is covered by a coarse dark brown hair, expect for the face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

The chimpanzees live in communities whitch contains 20 to 150 chimpanzees. But sometimes the groups spuilt in to one group of men' the second contains old females. The males protect all the members in the community and search for some food.

A simple exchange

Last summer vacation I traveled to Munich, Germmany as a part of a student exchange progrem from "Eilon high-school". The progrem was supported by the "Eye&I" organization. I traveled with my cousin and stayed there for 12 days. We slept in a Germman house and had the enormous experience that bring us the possibility to get to know what other people do in their lives.

Munich is an ancient city that distroyed in the second world war and reconstructed to be the same as she used to. When we got there we tourd to the English garden - an amazing green place, with a lot of trees and benches to sit on. from there we went to the celebration of Munich for it's 850's anniversary.We saw a show of a germman rock-band. There we got the opportunity to see a little bit from the germmans life. We even went to a "Beer-Garden" that ther is considerd as an entertainment center which people used to go to.actually it's liks a coffee shop as we call it here.

In Munich, we had the chance to see another world that helps us to grow up and get used to an other life and experiences.

Finally, I got an enormous experience to see the germmans on another point of view as a helpful, smailes and caring humans.

About My other life

Had you got to met a person and know him without even talking with him?

In effect, I met someone and her name is Avital and she is my best friend. and she is tall, thin and has a black hair.

Avital and I met last year in September but didn't get to know each other until we were starting to talk. Now, she is an inseparable part in my life. When I talk with her I feel that she understands me and withoud judge me for my mistaks. She is her for me when ever I need her, even when she gets angry ,she helps me.

Avital was born on May 22nd, 1993 and lives in Holon. She is a sensetive, caring person who can easily nake you trust on. Now, in those days, a day can't pass if we aren't talk on the phone and hard that evrythig is Ok in the other's life, it's ecually bacame to be a mormal part of our day. When she is sad I get noticed befor she said it.

Finally, I got a present from God and it's having a best friend, someone who is with you every time and you know that you could trust on and this person has a name- Avital, and I just want to say her is one word and it's -thanks .

About me

My name is Rinat, I'm 15 years old and live in Israel.

During my spare time in the holidays I love to watch television and meet my friends, but the thing I love to do the most is shopping and talking on the telephone.In the last year I also started to volunteer in a youth movement which called "Hatzav" and means Youth Holon's in Activity. There I use like a guide.

In school I love my friends and its quite strange to say it but without school my life would be boring. I prefer the English lessons(although it's sometines too hard for me), Mathematics and Computer Science. The English lessons I love because I love to talk in English, the Mathematics lessons I love because of the exercises and the Computer Science I love because I love computers.

Now, we are standing infront of a new year in Israel and I just wanted to wish a Happy new year to all the people around the world and have a good year in school. For myself I just want have a good year at school and have some good luck with meeting new friends. Finally, you can see that I am a normal girl and that I have normal hobbies that just want to grow up to be a better person that czn change a little bit in the world.
