My Personnel Project

Everywhere I walk at school I glimpse little children in C1 and C2 Talking about something they want to do, a new thing for them, the talk about our personnel project. Personnel Projet, two words that defines an entire year. The personnel project is as you can witness something personnel, it’s something you desire to make and no one pull you in it. It's finally the time for us to create what we want without someone telling us you have and you must.

Actually, the personnel project is huge and tough to accomplish and especially in my case. I have chosen to create a touristic guide called "Around the world in 80 pages" that made me go up and down, right and left for a whole year just to do my best in it. The Title is actually inspired from the novel written by Jule Verne "Around the World in 80 days", but in revenge the idea is completely different. I did too much work and I worked really hard to finish it, I had to research 20 countries and it wasn't an easy one, I had to do the following:

For each country:

v  The capital

v  The population

v  The currency

v  The language

v  6 touristic places

v  3 hotels (different classes)

v  Transportation

v  The Kitchen

v  Restaurants and snacks

And after the research I had to read all the information and re-write them with my own words without a single word copied and additional things like the cover and design of the pages, etc.

And as they say Nothings Perfect at the end, after sending my book to be printed I discovered silly mistakes in my book that truly made me cry, because not behind all this work that I have completed several mistakes get a hold in the way and make my guide not as I excepted to be at the end. And the only mistake that really bothered me was that in German, I talked about Amsterdam instead of Berlin, so the title was German and the country I talked about was Holland, It was the shock that felt as if a knife went through my heart deep inside. But in fact it wasn't fair for me since the school first declared that we are suppose to present the final creation at the 16 of February and 5 days before this day, it was postponed for after the vacation. And the problem was that I had already send it to be printed because the man told me it will take 10 days, so I could have had the time to change to many things in 2 weeks but what can I do?

But since it’s my first time to write a guide and to make a huge thing like that, I can say that I am proud of myself and Next time I am sure that I will do better and I hope my work doesn’t go with the wind and that everyone would appreciate my tough effort.       

Friends Forever

            A friend is what we all should be or become. Have you ever imagined your life without even one friend always there with you, supporting you in every bad situation you get into, laughing with you every moment of everyday, making your life more blissful and cheerful, well I don't think so. Having a friend is actually much more important than having money, going to the streets with your best friend is better than travelling to Paris by your own, feeling lonely, wondering why you can’t find a friend?

            Everyone person alive has a friend, only a few people don’t have. A friend should always have some good qualities, a friend should be first of all honest and polite because when you are someone's friend, without noticing you become like him, acting like him and saying what is on his tongue. So it's really very important to know how to choose a friend. A friend also may affect your life and your future, because he might give you good advices and he might give you bad advices. And he should be honest because you can’t build or star a friendship based on lies from its beginning.

            A Friend should also be gentle, friendly, and also he should support you. And also one thing I think should to be in a friend is to be Funny because a friend is supposed to make your life better not a misery. So just know that a friend can last forever and some people we can never forget and they are our true friends.
