The Olympic Games

Dear Thomas Bach and members of the International Olympic Committee.

I am Matilde Drumont and I'm from Belgium. I heard some commotion about the Olympic Games in Russia in 2014, and today I saw an article written by Stephen Fry about the Olympic Games. He sended an open letter to David Cameron and he asked him to do something for the LGBT people. In Russia all the LGBT people are discriminated  because of their sexual orientation. That doesn't match with the rules of the IOC. One of the rules of the IOC is that no one gets discriminated during the Olympic Games.

I think that the IOC should do something about the situation in Russia. The Olympic Games is the biggest event in the world, so it is really important that they support gay rights. I think that you should put some more pressure at the politicians of Russia, so they will make some laws that support LGBT people.I hope you will do something about the situation in Russia.

Friendly greetings
Matilde Drumont

My most annoying holiday moment.

When I was 13, I went to a street theatre camp with Kazou. I had never done a theatre camp before so I had no idea what to expect, but I thought it could be fun. I went with an old school friend who is also a sportive girl like me.

The first day was a good one because we did some funny games. When I woke up the next morning I was in a happy mood because I thought that day would be as fun as the day before. But then the leaders of the camp told us about the theatre.  Every morning we had a theatre session of three hours, and we would also have one whole day of theatre and then we would give a little show.

That's when the camp became really annoying. The sessions of theatre were so boring, that I was in a bad mood  for the rest of the day. We were doing some little stage plays, but I am really bad at playing theatre or something like that. We did really stupid things, so I was laughing really hard to myself, but all the others were very serious. Then five mornings of theatre were followed by a whole day of theatre. There was a really weird woman who taught us some theatre skills. That woman was always looking angry and while she was teaching us some skills, she was shouting all the time. The other girls and boys liked it, but for me that day was a real nightmare. I was really bored, because there were no funny moments and we didn't play any games.

I thought that the worst part of the camp was already done, but we still had to do a show. The leaders had invited our parents to a local park, so there were strangers too, and they told them about our show. The leaders divided us in little groups, so that the visitors could walk around the park and see different things. But that was a really big failure. We showed things like blowing a balloon without a balloon, playing golf without golf sticks or a golf ball.  My parents and my sister were laughing at me because it looked so stupid.

That was my most annoying holiday moment, and I am sure that I will never go on a camp like that again.
