My sister Sivan

A very important and special person in my life is my sister Sivan. She is 19 years old and she is a very interesting, unusual, and open minded person. Because of these reasons I have decided to tell you a little bit about her in this post.

Sivan has long red hair and brown eyes. She is a very smart person, who has a lot of interests. She likes to read, write, baby-sit, listen to music and sing. Additionally, she has a wonderful sense of humor and she always knows how to cheer me up.

A very important thing in Sivan's life is music. She has written a lot of songs both in Hebrew and English , and I find most of them exteremly beautiful. Sivan usually sings whenever we have a family event and she always gets praised by our relatives and friends.

Last year, instead of joining the Israeli Army, Sivan volunteered at a special kindergarten for children with socio-economic difficulties. She did so because she believed that with her skills , she could help society more by volunteering in such a place than by joining the army.

The fact that I love Sivan goes without saying because she is my sister, but me and Sivan(Sivan and I) are very good friends too. We have a lot in common: we like the same TV shows, books, and movies. We almost never fight, we make each other laugh, we cheer each other up, and although I am mad at her sometimes, I always remember how much I love and appreciate her.
Excellent work, Amir. I enjoyed it very much.
Daphna.

About myself



My name is Amir Zloter, I am 15 years old and I live in Holon. I have dark curly hair and brown eyes. In this post I am going to tell you a little bit about myself.

I have a lot of hobbies and interests. I like drawing, reading and playing tennis . I also like to write stories, but I never finish them. I am currently working on a mystery story that describes the murder of God.

I am also interested in the Japanese language and culture. I learn the Japanese language twice a month with a private teacher. I also flew to Japan with my family two years ago and had a magnificent time. It was a great practice for my Japanese too.

I take school very seriously and try my best at it. The subjects I like best are: History, Biology and Literature because I find the materials of these subjects extremely interesting. The things I don't like about school are homework and exams, which I find very stressing. I also don't like it when the teachers make us even more stressful when they tell us how big and important their subjects are.

My expectations from myself this year are to be able to keep my hard work at school on the one hand, but on the other hand not to get too stressful because of it. I also expect myself to get better in Japanese and in drawing and maybe finish a story for a change.
Amir, I really enjoyed that. I think your writing is not only clear and well organized, but interesting too. Well done !
