Hello!
How are you?
Portugal is a small country located in Western Europe and is considered the most westerly country of Europe. The Anthem of Portugal is "A Portuguesa" and our flag has a meaning defined. Green means green fields, the red signifies the blood shed in the battles against the barbaric and against the Moors and the shield symbolizes the strength of the nation, the symbol of the nation that has existed since the formation of the country. Portugal through several phases policies: monarchy, democracy, dictatorship (the fascist type) and further democracy that exists to date. The most important figure in our country is the President of the Republic (Cavaco Silva), and then is the Prime Minister (José Sócrates), and finally the people. Our religion is Christianity. I know somethings  about Israel. Israel is a parliamentary democracy with universal suffrage. The President of Israel is the head of state, but their functions are largely symbolic.  The President of Israel is Shimon Peres. That’s Right?
Do you know any people of Portugal?

PS.: Mails exchanged?

Hi. I want to tell you about my city.
The name of my city is Kfar saba. It is situated in the center of Israel. There is one hospital in my city, his name is "Meir".
Kfar Saba is known as a "green city, it's full of gardens, there are a lot of places to walk with a dog...
I hang out with my friends in the mall, at the pool and at the park of Kfar Saba.
The symbol of my city is oranges orchards, because many years ago there were a lot of oranges orchards in Kfar Saba.
There are a few slum areas in Kfar Saba, but not much.
In Kfar Saba and in the whole country there are a lot of synagogues, the religious people go there on Saturdays and on holidays.
There is no dairy in my city.
I like to live in Kfar Saba,because the people here are very nice and this place is a place that makes you feel like home, actually, it is my home.

Your friend
Michal .M.

Hello Joao.

I want to tell you about a special day that happened yesterday. This day is called "Jerusalem Day".
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, it's a holy city.
most of the people who live in Jerusalem are religious.Jerusalem is holy for the three religions.
Today we celebrated the unification of Jerusalem , all my school sang a lot of songs about it. http://www.amit.org.il/learning/english/jerusalem/index.htm

The festival is sounds very nice..
You asked about the weather in my country- Israel is a very hot country, we haven't enough water, because in Israel there isn't enough rain. most of the year, here is summer.

You asked if I have a skype, but I prefer to talk here, only here.

Bar Lev Hello!

I am a student of the school of English in Portugal, I say that I really liked it and make the video that you would like to know more about your country! My correspondent in epals is Michal and I wanted this project to continue talking more with you. If possible continue to respond to emails from epals.

Hello Michal,

I love to know your class, and you too, because I found it very entertaining. You have many similar tastes to mine!

But I like to know about your country and you, so if you want to add my Skype, 

Your new friend from Portugal
João

Shalom, Bar Lev! I'd like to tell you that we really loved to talk to you, despite the few time we had... We liked to have learned more about Israel and your culture. This project was very interesting. I only apologise if anything went wrong... but it was our first time! I hope you understand this... Best regards from Sendim (Portugal).
