Hallo
Dominik,
Thank
you for your last letter is was fun to read what you did
on a normal day.
You said that you read a book for two hoers between
23.00 and 1.00! I should
have fallen asleep after 10 minutes.
Sweden
is quite a big country. It s 1600 km from north to
south. We got 9 million inhabitants. Our neighbours are
Denmark, Norway and Finland. Our capital is Stockholm
and it s a very beautiful city. The royal family who
lives in Stockholm has no power at all. It s the prime
minister who is in charge. Our highest top is
kebinekaise and it s 2117m high. The most of our country
is forest. The closet capital is Copenhagen. It s in
Denmark. We
can take the train over the oresunds bridge. It only
takes about 20 minutes. We ve got some quite big lakes
in Sweden. The Nobel Prize is handed out in Sweden.
What
do you think about the war in Irak?
I
m looking forward receiving your letter.
Bye
for now,
Kristian

 Dear
Malin,
Thanks
for your letter. I enjoyed it. Now I am going to
describe you my country.
I
live in a small country called Slovenia. Slovenia is in
Europe, near Italy, Croatia, Austria and Hungary.
Slovenia is 20 000 km2 big and its shape looks like a
chicken. It’s not that big. About 2 milion people live
in Slovenia. It’s not that much. The capital of
Slovenia is Ljubljana. It’s quite big (300 000 in
habitants) and old town. I like it. I live in a small
town called Solkan, near Nova Gorica. It’s a very,
very old town, but beautiful. We have a small part of
the coast and the sea is called the Adriatic sea. It’
so small, but we like it. Slovenia has got lots of
woods, parks, castles,it is very green.
Slovenia
is only 10 years old, so far we had only one president
Milan Kuèan. Now we have our second president, Janez
Drnovšek. We also have our national anthem called
Zdravljica. It was written by our very important poet,
France
Prešeren.
He died in ninteenth century. Our flag has got three
colours: blue, white and red. The biggest mountain is
Triglav and the longest river is Sava. We speak
Slovenian. It’s very complicated for other people. We
have currency called Tolar SIT. Soon we will use Euro.
For abut 2 years we will be in Europe, too. We have
typical houses for every region. Our schools are very
good. We have one university in Ljubljana and the other
in Maribor and Koper.
That’s
all I can tell you about my country.
I’m
looking forward to your letter.
Bye,
bye
