Languages, a vehicle for success

Hey everybody! I am Damla Altunok.I live in İstanbul. I go to Adnan Menderes Anatolian High School. I am 15 years old. It is my first year at this school so when I heard this project , I was upset because I thought that my teachers might not select me for the Comenius Project.
One day while I was listening to my teacher in class , someone knocked at the door. All the students looked at the door and we saw a girl. She said there would be a meeting at school for parents.

On Sunday all the parents went to the school. My English teacher asked who wanted to accommodate foreing students. Only my mom said she wanted to. I was shocked . Because if you don t speak English well , you can’t accommodate anyone. Anyway, I was looking forward to have a guest. When my teacher gave me my guest’s e-mail , I was nervous , again. After that we talked on.

At that time , I was excited! We were waiting for them at a hotel. I had planned everything! She would stay in my room. She would feel my home as her home. She could use all my things. I liked her! =) It was so interesthing.Imagine, you have never talked with a person face to face but you like her or him =) When it was time to go, I was sad… Because I loved them. I didn´t want them to leave.
