Dear Mr. Handley,

I heard a lot about your courses and about yourself. I would really like to go in your Action Academy and to overcome my fears.

I'm fourteen years old, I live in Estonia and I study at the Tallinn Gymnasium. Addition, I play music, learning languages and engage in ballroom dancing. In my life I have never tried to do something extreme, but I really want to try myself in this area.

I would like to go in the summer because in the summer I have a vacation and I have a lot of free time. Do you have summer classes? And what program do you have for newcomers to this area and whether the program is different for men and women? I hope that you can not make me jump from a cliff on the first day of my visit to you.I'll wait for your answer.

Your sicerely,

Darja Balina

What is a good friend in my opinion?

In friendship, I always appreciate honesty. A friend never will lie, whatever the truth was not! He will rejoice with you if you win something and if you are just lucky.A good friend might be someone who's there to provide support when times are tough, or someone you can rely on to celebrate a special moment with you. A real friend for me it is someone who makes you smile and someone who will cry when you cry. If you tell to your friend something in confidence, he will not talk about it to anyone else.
Friends might come and go in your life, they might make you laugh and cry, but most importantly of all they love you for who you are. It doesn't matter what a person looks like or what kind of clothes they wear, but it's what's on the inside that counts. I am happy that I have a friend whom I can trust.

Battery farms.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to protest about the way hens are treated in many parts of Europe.

Many farmers keep the hens in very small cages or batteries.These cages are so small that the hens can't flap their wings or clean their feathers.Usually there are about five hens in each cage and the farmers put five or six cages on top of each other.Those hens cannot live full life.They don't have enough fresh air and they cannot lay healthy eggs. In my opinion, it is violence against the living organism.

I think we should all try to buy free-range eggs, not eggs from battery hens.

Yours faithfully,

Darja Balina
