=**Interview **= 1.Did you deal with politics all your life? ** No. It is maybe funny but before I started dealing with politics, I work in many different things; After I finished college, I was a sport announcer on the radio. Then I became an actor and appeared on the television and in movies (in Hollywood). Then I became the 33rd governor of California. Only in 1980, at the age 70 I became the 40th president of the USA. I wanted to see if I could also be successful in Politics. (We didn't know exactly, but we know that Reagan was Democra since that he was young.) In 1964, more or less, I left acting and I started to work in the politics. The Cold War was the period of conflict, tension and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Throughout the period, the rivalry between the two superpowers was on the technological developments in space. The sides at the battles were United States and the democratic countries versus the Soviet Union and the communist block**.** The "Cold war" was a status struggle between the two superpowers. There was no actual fighting between them, but there was no correct communication and trust. The competition caused a secret race for more ammunition, developing the atom bomb and the space program. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: David; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: David; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"> Reagan introduced a firm financial that helped cure the financial system. He trimmed social laws and lowered the taxes. (Except for all of that, Reagan announced a war on drugs and dealers reinforcing firm punishments in the legislation. The economics were changed thrived. The money helped them threaten on The soviet Union with the idea of star wars which cost a lot of money. Russia understood that they had no chance to compete with the American pocket. Therefore they gave up and that is how the cold war ended.   There are two attitudes, one that believes that Reagan led a firm line that helped collapse the Soviet Union. While others claim that it would have happened any way, since Gurbatchuv, the Soviet leader wanted to end the cold was as he introduced his Perestroika- his new ideas for modern democracy in Russia.  Probably both are correct.

=**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">Reflection **= In the project we learned about a special person who is called- Ronald Wilson Reagan. He was the president of the United States who made the economic changes which brought to the end of the Cold War. We also learned from him never to give up on your dreams. We learned that it is never too late to do the things that you believe in. This means that if you want to go into politics, you can do so even at the age of seventy. We learned from working on the project: ~writing skills ~vocabulary level ~English language skills. In the paper it was difficult for us to choose about what to focus on in the interesting life of the person that we chose. We had enough time for the paper, and enough help and support from our teacher. We understood the instructions and the assignment were clear and fair. We enjoyed working on this project because it’s a nice idea and it wasn't so difficult-but gave us a lot.
