SLOVENIA by Janka Faller 7B<br />
One of my favourite countries is Slovenia. We always go there with my family to trek on long weekends. Kranjska Gora, for<br />
example, is a very good trekking place, situated in the Julian Alps. There are many clear rivers, lakes and waterfalls surrounding<br />
it. For example, the Sava and the Pericnik waterfalls and the lakes Bled and Bohinj, of immense beauty, are around where you<br />
can make a bicycle trip. A long bicycle path crosses it too, where we can go to Italy or to other parts of Slovenia. You can hire<br />
a bicycle in the city( in Kranjska Gora ) but sometimes I used my roller-skates as many others do. The road runs through many<br />
forests, pastures and wonderful valleys. There are dedicated bridges because a pretty, turquoise river runs along the road. One<br />
of my favourite hiking places is a three-border-crossing. You can start from the village Ratece. It’s tiring, but it’s worth the hike<br />
up there for the scenery. On the peak, in three steps you can visit three countries, Austria, Italy and Slovenia. It’s funny, isn’t it?<br />
I’m happy to recommend the place for lovers of great scenery, hiking, and active holidays. Once you’re there do not miss the<br />
local speciality; freshly made bourek.<br />
NASA<br />
by Lilien Gruber 8C<br />
I think most of you already know what NASA is. Well let me<br />
tell you in a few words what it is about. It is an agency responsible<br />
for the space program in the USA. The past summer<br />
I had the chance to go to Kennedy Space Center, which<br />
is the place NASA uses to send their world-famous rockets<br />
and Space Shuttles into space. Nowadays the place is filled<br />
with visitors who can go and see all the amazing aspects<br />
about the past and future of space travel. I am not the kind<br />
of person who likes this kind of stuff, but seeing it in real<br />
life is very impressive. How complex the structure of only<br />
one small rocket is, is fascinating. The funniest thing I saw<br />
there was that inside this Space Center was a little shop,<br />
but this shop was not ordinary. People had the idea to open<br />
a souvenir shop for the game Angry Birds Space there. It<br />
seemed so funny to me to see among a lot of complicated<br />
rockets such an attraction. I think I learned a lot spending a<br />
day there and I also did really enjoy it. I recommend to everyone<br />
who goes to Orlando, Florida to visit this place and<br />
be sure to check out the Angry Birds “space shop”.<br />
It’s worth it.
