Our goal in JMUN is to learn about the United Nations and become experts on world problems . I chose the JMUN club because I ’ m interested in world problems . I think JMUN is an amazing club because we get to learn about world problems and try to solve them . I think the biggest advantage of JMUN is that we are going to work with kids who are from different countries in New York . That ’ s why I think JMUN is a wonderful club .

JMUN is one of the important clubs in our school . I thought joining this club would teach me responsibility . JMUN means Junior Model United Nations . I also joined this club because I thought this club would help me improve my English and I also like that I will get to go to other countries with my team . In JMUN they assign us countries and we become representatives for those countries in conferences . Then we learn about a topic and about committees . My committee is UNESCO . In my committee we do research and discuss stuff . I have already learnt many new worlds in this club . JMUN representatives don ’ t use daily language . For example if we want to ask questions we have to say “ point of information ”. Clearly , being in this club has already improved my vocabulary . To sum up , I think I have made a good choice this year !

In my opinion JMUN is an amazing experience . It has increased my awareness of what is happening in the world . It helps us understand the world . In this club our English speaking and writing skills improve . In JMUN we attend conferences where we can make friends with students from different countries and explore new places . The best thing about JMUN is “ the three F ’ s ” fun , food and friends !

I chose the JMUN club because I like to discuss world issues with other children at our age from all over the world in conferences . We represent a country and debate on world problems to solve some of them ! Our skills in English are sure to improve through our work in this club . We have already started to learn “ the conference language ” which is really different from “ normal ” English ! We are also going to write many speeches and present our countries ’ views in the conferences . At the end of the year , we will go to New York and spend time with our friends there during the conference . I am looking forward to it very much . I ’ m sure it will be a great experience and I love being in this club !

This year I have chosen to be a member of the JMUN team . When we were thinking about choosing clubs , I spoke to some 8th graders who were on that team last year and all of them encouraged me to join the JMUN . Not a single one of them said anything negative about it . I also asked the JMUN teachers for information . I understood that participating in JMUN would probably improve my English skills . JMUN is a serious club and we discuss world problems and political ideas with our peers . At first , I thought it will be too hard , but then I decided that it would be a good experience for me . And now , fortunately I am a member of the JMUN team ! I love my club . My goal is to do my best . Even if we don ’ t win any prizes , I will be so happy .

The United Nations ( UN ) is an intergovernmental organization founded to promote international co-operation . JMUN is a club where children attempt to find solutions to world problems . It is like a UN game where children play a role . That is why I like it . As a JMUN representative we learn about countries and ideas . I chose to join the JMUN because I wanted to try to find solutions to world problems . I want our world to become a better place for all of us . I think children can sometimes find solutions that adults cannot see . My goal is to make the world better for the future generations .
