‘Greeks are inventive and hard-working’

Dear Mr Editor,

I’m Andrew and I’m 13 years old. I’m writing this letter to inform you about life in Greece right now. Most of the foreign press is exaggerating. Foreign newspapers and magazines show Greeks as lazy and irresponsible people, but it isn’t this way. In every country, you can meet good and bad people. Greeks are inventive and hard-working people and they confront the difficult situation with patience and dignity. Also, the riots they show happen rarely and are limited to a small part of Athens. The majority of Greeks understand the difficulties and try to deal with them. The rest of the world should know the truth about Greece and not believe all of the things the media report.

Sincerely yours,

Andrew
