Dear friend!
I am writing to you, because I am a member of “Connecting Classrooms” project and have UK Country Studies lesson in my school. Our class were divided into 4 groups, and each group has their own task: the first group – discovered England, second – Scotland, third – Wales and fourth – Northern Ireland. I am an administrator of group number one – England. I want to know more about you and your country. If you aren’t from England, don’t worry :).I’ll help my classmates with their task, and if you want I will tell you a few words about Ukraine. My name is Dasha, I am 15 years old. I live in Rivne, Ukraine and studying in the school №15. Maybe, you heard a lot about my school from other members of “Connecting Classrooms”, but I want to add only one thing: my school is the best in the whole world! Speaking about myself, I have to say, that my hobbies are dancing, music and journalistic. What about other members of my group I have to say, that they are so cool and friendly persons, as I :).They are two boys: Artem and Maksym. Artem is 16 years old. He is interested in sport, because he is a basketball player. Maksym is 15 years old. He is a dancer. The style of dancing is Ukrainian folk. We are so interested of travelling, and we want to visit your contry,if it is possible.
As for me, I have already been at 10 countries of the world: Poland, Russia, Romania, Czech Republic, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bulgaria, Belarus and Turkey. And, of course, I have travelled inside Ukraine too. I was travelled to Crimea last summer. I and my parents sunbathed, swimmed and simply rested. We lived at the pension, which was so close to the coast. It was really fantactic! At our dining room, we eat almost Ukrainian national cuisine. We had visited so many places of interest like the zoo in Yalta, sea port in Sevastopol, Khersonesse, Livadia and Massandra palaces and so on. At the seaside,I had feasted my eyes on the gorgeous Black sea, had turned my bad thouhts out and had thought about my cloudless future.
Here are some my photos:
And what about you? What’s your name? How old are you? Where are you live? What are your hobbies? What can you say about your country and travelling inside it?
I am looking forward to hearing from.
Yours faithfully,
Daria Sharafan
Your story about Crimi is fantastic!!!!
ВідповістиВидалитиI’d like to tell you about my trip to Chicago.
Chicago is known for its architectural marvels and its cultural diversity. It is a city that should be visited by everyone at some time during their lives. From experiencing wonderful museums to elevated trains to tasty foods, Chicago has a unique aura not experienced anywhere else in the world.
I visited Chicago for the first time four years ago and had an amazing trip. I enjoyed every bit of the Windy City: its river and bridges, architecture, rich culture, cleanliness.
My friend and I lived in a student hotel in downtown. It was really nice and cheap. Next day after arrival we went to see the most famous places in Chicago.
In our visit there we walked the Magnificent Mile which provided us with a good look at the heart of the Windy City.
The Navy Pier has a rather eclectic mix of venues. There was a stained glass museum, a boat ride, a Ferris wheel, a human maze, a virtual reality ride and a wide variety of stores.
The Art Institute of Chicago wasn't high on my list of things to see, but my friend I was with really wanted to see it so I went along and ended up having an artistic awakening of sorts. I used to be fairly indifferent to art and never really saw why people got all worked up about paintings and museums. I was mildly entertained by the suits of armor, weapons, furniture, Egyptian sculptures and lace exhibits but it wasn't particularly memorable.
The Buckingham Fountain was impressive. It shot water higher than 100 feet into the air and had lots of other streams of water spurting out here and there. The park it was in is right next to Lake Michigan, which looks like the ocean since you can't see land on the other side. The weather was starting to get very cold though, especially when the clouds blocked the sun. There's no question that Chicago deserves its title of "The Windy City."
I’ve always known I would fall in love with the city, and I was definitely correct.
