<strong>My</strong> <strong>Favourite</strong> <strong>Place</strong><br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is our granny and grandfather summer cottage, which is about 3,5 kilometres to our<br />
house I come there so happy mood, because there is so fun to be. Cottage is sonny place that’s why there<br />
is so warm (when sun is shining). Water is there midsummer lovely warm and there is sufficiently deep to<br />
jump good speeds in to the water <strong>by</strong> our bay and speed may have because our bay is long. <strong>The</strong>re are very<br />
fun to calculate <strong>by</strong> dad surfboard in to the water. <strong>We</strong> turn it around then we let down <strong>by</strong> it slippery side in to<br />
the water. Last summer we see crazy jumps and slides to water because there was a slipper competition of<br />
Mäntylampi Competitors were me my sister Laura and my frinde Jarno. <strong>The</strong>re is also very good<br />
fishingplaces. But those positions I don’t tell because I keep that knowledge on my own. Granny and<br />
grandfather cottage beside is other cottage that’s is my godmothers and her<br />
family. Near cottage is a beavers casing, what grandfather says our “neighbour”. To cottage is me easy go<br />
with my Suzuki Pv moped (when roads are closed) and that is very funny. Near the cottage is forest where I<br />
and my dad are have be hunting I cant hunt now because I don’t have hunting card. But I have be with dad<br />
when he hunt and he is have be hunt heathbirds, hazel grouses and capercaillies with our hunting dog<br />
Saana. <strong>In</strong> winter, when is werry much snow can let down whit our big and black pulka sled in big hills what<br />
is very funny. <strong>In</strong> to ice is fun to ski when is enough ice and snow on to the ice. <strong>The</strong>n I can also drive my dad<br />
snowmobil on to ice. <strong>In</strong> winter is fun to jump off the cottage roof in to snowdrift. Near to cottage can make<br />
wonderfulls snowcastles and snowcabins. Terrain is so good to make wonderfuls snowwars that some<br />
children can only imagine that kind place. Granny and granfather cottage is have be visit my friend Jarno<br />

NAME : Aurelija, Milda, Ruta<br />
Our favourite place is the Witches hill in Juodkrante. <strong>The</strong>re is walking path in forest<br />
with a lot of wooden sculptures (witches, devils, dragons and so on). <strong>The</strong> sculptures are made <strong>by</strong><br />
folk stories. It is near our homes. <strong>The</strong> first sculptures were made in 1979 and we like that place from<br />
early childhood. <strong>We</strong> love that place because there are a lot of old trees and the hill is very beautiful.<br />
Wooden sculptures are very lovely too. Almost every week we go there and spend one or sometimes<br />
two hours. That place like all tourists so you can’t be in this place alone, unless in winter or in night<br />
time.

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is the Paimun Lake located in Neuquen Province, to 61 km of Junin de los Andes city,<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place<br />
I have many favourite places. It depends what kind of mood I am. But one of the all is the “Nuokkari” it is the<br />
place of young people where you can play pool and ping pong for example and meet friends or surf in the<br />
net. I found it when my brother were there in work. I spent lots of time there because most of my friends are<br />
there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second favourite place is our summer place in Koitere, it is big place and is very nice place where I can<br />
fish, swim and go to the sauna. Koitere is a big famous lake in eastern Finland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third favourite place is my home because there is lots of things to do, I can go fishing, swimming, be with<br />
my friends, listen to the music, watch television and important of all do my homeworks. <strong>The</strong> fourth favourite<br />
place is the school because there I can meet all my friends and I can study new things about everything.<br />

I.I.S. “ SALVEMINI – LAGRANGE “ IT04<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is the beach which is located in a small<br />
village in Sardinia, its name is “San Teodoro”. I found this<br />
beach when I was a child and it was the first time I have been on<br />
holiday in Sardinia. <strong>The</strong> name of the beach is “Cala Luna” and<br />
immediately I liked it because it is a very calm beach and it isn’t<br />
crowded, the sea is always calm, the water is transparent, and<br />
there is always a light breeze! I go to Sardinia every summer<br />
together with my parents and the first thing that I do is to go to<br />
this beach! Here I made a lot of friends because there are many<br />
boys and girls of my same age....<strong>The</strong> thing that I like best is to<br />
go to the beach in the evening when there are few people, all is<br />
silence and the only noise is that one of the waves;<br />
I like spending the evening on the beach together with my friends<br />
laughing and joking! But I ‘d rather go alone to the beach to<br />
think and to reflect, it’s so exciting to do it hearing the sound of<br />
the waves.<br />

NAME: PETRA KURONEN<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a tree. <strong>The</strong> tree is in the forest. I found the tree four or five years ago. I found it <strong>by</strong><br />
accident. <strong>My</strong> favourite place is peaceful and nice and that´s why I love it. I visit my favourite place every day.<br />
I spend 10 – 15 minutes at a time there. I enjoy this place alone or with my dog. I think of my school day and<br />
all nice things there.<br />
Sapir Hershkovitz from Makif Z, Ashdod, Israel.<br />
Lachish Park is a beautiful park in our big city that characterize with a lot of building, and a lot of people.<br />
Our developed city called: Ashdod.<br />
<strong>In</strong> Lachish park many attractions, like: games for children, a little zoo, there is also a challenge park that have<br />
climbing wall and a lot of enjoyment for children and even for adults.<br />
You also can do picnic in the green part of the park, to rest, or just walk with a friend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> name Lachish Park is in the name of Lachish stream. Lachish stream passes the park and the city to the<br />
sea.<strong>The</strong> Lachish stream is very long, to such an extent that it starts in Jerusalem and end in Ashdod.<br />
Near the park there are a lot of factories that pollute Lachish stream. <strong>In</strong> the past there were a lot of fish in<br />
the stream. Today the water is dirty and I believe that there are hardly living animals in it.<br />
I and all resident of Ashdod hope that the park will be saved, and our natural environment will remain green<br />
and clean!
One of my favourite places to be is San Tiago, Mexico. I've only been there once before, but it's breathtaking<br />
in its beauty and culture, and I can't wait to go back. San Tiago is a small village on the <strong>We</strong>stern coast of<br />
Mexico. <strong>My</strong> aunt owns a timeshare on an apartment <strong>by</strong> the ocean, and it's incredible. <strong>The</strong> ocean air blows in<br />
through the porch door and into the living room. You can choose whether you want to swim in the pool or the<br />
ocean (which is where you spend most of your time). <strong>In</strong> the morning, you can walk over to the bakery and<br />
get fresh tortiallas for breakfast. At night, everyone meets at the town square for a bazaar and gelatis. But<br />
the best part about San Tiago is how it's still so Mexican. You can go into so many of the big cities and<br />
they're all Americanized. But San Tiago retains its small town beauty and charm. That's why I love San<br />
Tiago.<br />

TW02<br />
Love River, which is just twelve kilometers long, flow through many districts like . . and so on.<br />
Before it played an important role; now it becomes one of the best places for relaxation. Although it doesn’t<br />
seem that important among the great rivers of Taiwan, to the local, it’s a symbol for them, history, romance,<br />
culture and love<br />
Love River once be polluted and people living there were always holding<br />
their nose when they pass through. However, in recent years, the government<br />
and citizens have joined together to clean up the river and it works. Now, along<br />
the river bank, you can see parks, green lands, concert hall, coffee shops and<br />
also couples sitting there, enjoying the beauty and nature vitality of Love River.<br />
What’s more, with the approach of night, the lamps on the riverside go on,<br />
giving a modern atmosphere.<br />
For the above points, we regard Love River as our favorite place. To show<br />
our love for it, we decide to go to pick up the rubbish, thrown on the ground and grass. <strong>We</strong> also hope that we<br />
can do our teenager’s best to make our environment better and more beautiful.<br />

Levi - <strong>My</strong> favorite place<br />
<strong>My</strong> favorite place in Finland is probably Levi. Levi is a village and a recreation center in Lapland. I?ve only<br />
been there once, but it was such a beautiful place!! <strong>In</strong> my opinion, it is a pretty small town, but it?s popular,<br />
especially in the winter. <strong>The</strong>re are lots of tourists there, well there were many when I was there. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
lots of snow everywhere, and the snow sparkled in the light, which is very pretty. <strong>The</strong> thing that I?ll<br />
remember is that when it got dark, it was so beautiful to look out the window or go outside and look at the<br />
stars. If you were lucky, you might have seen the northern lights. <strong>The</strong>y are very colorful and more beautiful<br />
than stars or shooting stars. I was one of the lucky ones because I saw the northern lights. It was a very<br />
breathtaking moment, for me.
Levi is mostly a place to go downhill skiing and snowboarding, but you can also go cross-country skiing, and<br />
after the hills have been closed, you can go sledding on them! Of course there are lots of other things to do<br />
there, but we went there on a skiing trip. So all I did was go downhill skiing, snowboarding, sledding and<br />
cross country skiing. I guess that?s a lot of things to do, but sometimes I actually felt a little bored. But I still<br />
had lots of fun!<br />
<strong>The</strong> restaurants there aren?t that bad either. Since there are lots of reindeer there, that is what they eat very<br />
often. When we went to a restaurant, I had some and it was very delicious. <strong>The</strong> only thing that I don?t like<br />
about Lapland so much is that sometimes it gets a little too cold there, for me. At least on the higher skiing<br />
hills, because it?s very windy up there! So my fingers and toes practically froze up there!<br />
Luckily, though, our lodge was very close, so you could walk there. <strong>The</strong> wooden lodges were so cute! And<br />
they were much bigger than I thought that they would be. Of course there were normal hotels there too, but I<br />
think that it?s so much better to stay at a wooden lodge, than a small and cramped hotel room, because in<br />
the lodges, there is more room, and there?s even a sauna. It was very nice to go inside, drink hot chocolate<br />
or tea, and then go to the sauna, after skiing and snowboarding, or whatever we had been doing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> whole trip there only lasted a week, but it was definitely a wonderful experience! <strong>We</strong> don?t have time to<br />
go there this winter, but I really would like to go there again. It was just a place that I won?t forget, because it<br />
was so beautiful and because I had so much fun there!<br />

MY FAVOURITE PLACE<br />
SCHOOL ID: DE02<br />
NAME : Karsten<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a big sandstone cliff in the forest of Reinhausen near Goettingen.<br />
It’s a place were I can sit and think about many things or simply relax.<br />
I found this place when I was much younger, I walked through the forest<br />
and climbed up a hill. <strong>The</strong>re I found it on the other side of the high cliff .<br />
It’s a very quiet place because the main footpath is far away. <strong>In</strong> the summer it’s like an<br />
execrated place just for myself, because I often see deer and butterflies.<br />
I always walked there alone, I never talked with anyone about it

Hello,<br />
<strong>My</strong> favorite place is Lazienki Park in Warsaw. It is not too far to walk from<br />
the city center. <strong>The</strong> park originally was a Royal Palace’s park. <strong>The</strong> palace and the<br />
other buildings in the park where mostly built in the 18 th century. I like this<br />
place, because it has wide lanes overshadowed <strong>by</strong> trees, small lakes and<br />
sculptures. When there is a hot summer day you can walk around the trees, see<br />
the animals and sit on a bench. This park is suitable for families and it’s better to<br />
spend the spare time together to enjoy the beauty of this place. One of the<br />
attractions is a theatre the stage of which is built in one of the lakes, while the<br />
audience’s seats on the shore. It’s unforgettable experience to see the<br />
performance on this stage.<br />

<strong>My</strong> Favorite <strong>Place</strong><br />

I live in Kazakhstan, Ust-Kamenogorsk. <strong>The</strong> city is situated next to the Altai Mountains where the Ulba River<br />
flows into the Irtish River. Ust-Kamenogorsk is not big, but in spite of this, we have many wonderful places.<br />
<strong>The</strong> population of our city is over 330,000 people. And every person has his own favorite place, where he<br />
can relax and dream. Many men, many mind.<br />
As for me the most wonderful place in my city is Kirov Park. It is the<br />
only place in Ust-Kamenogorsk, where there is the interaction of two<br />
cultures – Kazakh and Russian.<br />
Near the main entrance there is a museum of “National Russian<br />
village” where all the types of national Russian design of architecture<br />
of XVIII century are collected.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there is a long circle<br />
area, where people can<br />
relaxed and enjoy splendid
view of remarkable grass-plot with many different types of flowers. <strong>In</strong> the centre of the park there is a statue<br />
of Kirov. He played an important role in life of our city.<br />
Next there is an Orthodox chapel. This place is very exciting for me because I am a religious person so this<br />
land is holy for me.<br />
More over there is an incredible landscape design with small ponds and funny bridges. Near the entrance<br />
there are figures of characters of Russian and Kazakh fairytales.<br />
Many people take pictures with them because they are really cute. More over Kirov Park is the place where<br />
teenagers and city dwellers like to meet and walk. I assure you, that you will never find so marvelous,<br />
outstanding, splendid, magnificent place in our town, like Kirov Park. But it is only my opinion.<br />

Kalavrita is my favourite place because it makes me feel fresh, calm,<br />
full of life and the nature is incredible.<strong>The</strong> green leaces, trees ,rocks<br />
and lovely monuments are very lively.But what finishes everythink<br />
is the spacial sky tops it off!!!!<br />
I love to spend my time at this place <strong>by</strong> myself ,or whith some friend<br />

Qeshm is a large island in the Persian Gulf. It is a far of my home. It is twice the size of the country Bahrain!<br />
I traveled to Qeshm in the past summer for 2 weeks. It has many mountains and the lands beside the water<br />
are rocky. <strong>The</strong> village left is very beautiful and has great views. I don't visit this place, because it is far. I<br />
enjoyed this place whit my family so much.<br />
SHABNAM ARABZADEH<br />
It is Ab Pari waterfall. It is in north of Iran and it's far from my home. I heard from some people about it. I<br />
found in this summer. It has comforting nature and its small stones that the water is flowing on them. I<br />
often visit this place every summer. I spend 2 hours there.I sometimes enjoy this place alone and<br />
sometimes with other people.<br />

<strong>My</strong> favorite place is Elgoli Park in Tabriz .It is far from my home. When I went to Tabriz in the spring I saw<br />
this place. This park is look like the entire park, but I think this park is the most beautiful among the entire<br />

I have very good time when I'm in this park.<br />

my family. <strong>We</strong> usually go there twice a month. It was very interesting for me.<br />
I had a wonderful time at summer travel. I have swimming every morning in the Caspian Sea. I really like<br />
mountain climbing. <strong>My</strong> grate favorite activate is lying at the beach. I usually spend at least 3 day in there.<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a forest. It’s located very near my house. I found it when I played with my friends. I can be there<br />
alone when I’m mad or when I do something bad I go there and hide. I spend lots of time there 1-2 hours. I visit it every<br />
other week. I like to be there with my friends because we love forest.<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is Ähtäri, which is the first natural zoo in Finland. <strong>The</strong> first animal,a moose, came there in the year<br />
1973.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are lots of different animals: deer, reindeer, snow leopards, lynxes, telling parrots, bears, owls and more<br />
interesting animals. I remember how mother and cub bear played with each other. It seemed so cute. That is the reason<br />
why I liked to be there. I like animals and there I could see them in their own places, which is as if where they really<br />
lived in the forest.<br />
I only have one problem with it: Ähtäri is too far away from my home. I have visited it 3 times. I was with my family.<br />
But when we go there, we spend almost the whole day there. And I always enjoy every time, when I am there with<br />
animals and my family.<br />

<strong>My</strong> father owns a little area of forest. <strong>My</strong> father inherited the forest area, when my grandmother died a few years ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> forest area is about 10 kilometers from my home.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the forest, there’s a little hill. That hill is my favourite place. <strong>The</strong> hill has been my favourite place since I learned to<br />
walk. <strong>The</strong> hill isn’t high, but it is that high that you can see far from the top of the hill. <strong>The</strong> hill has been my favourite<br />
place since I learned to walk. You see only forest around, because the hill is surrounded <strong>by</strong> a forest.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re grow firs, birches and pine-trees around the hill. <strong>The</strong>y are all young, because all trees were chopped down 20<br />
years ago. Trees are almost three meters high, but they grow fast. When we thin out the young forest, then trees get<br />
more water and nutrients and they grow faster. <strong>We</strong>’ve planted some new pine-trees, in places where nothing grows.<br />
<strong>We</strong> have made a fire on the hill and we’ve roasted some sausages there. It is a perfect place to have a picnic.<strong>We</strong> visit it<br />
nearly once a week.<br />
<strong>In</strong> autumn and in winter we go there more often, because we hunt some hares and birds, black grouses, for example.<br />
I hope you could also see the same view as I can!<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a playground. It is near my home and I can see it from our living-room. <strong>The</strong> playground is<br />
medium-sized. <strong>The</strong>re grows up grass and some trees. Every day we spend about twenty minutes with my dogs in the<br />
playground, because there are many tasks which we can practise. <strong>My</strong> dogs can jump over a bench, walk on a table,<br />
climp up and down stairs and find some objects. I can also educate my dogs. <strong>The</strong>re are often no other people in a<br />
playground. Some people don´t like dogs, particulary if they are free. <strong>My</strong> dogs are very obedient and they often run<br />
free. That makes them happy. I can set my dogs free without having to control the district. That is why I like the<br />
playground so much. I don´t go there with my frends, only with my dogs.<br />
I found my favourite place last spring when snow has melted. I was walking past the playground, I saw it and went to<br />
look at it. After that we have gone to the playground almost every day. <strong>We</strong> don´t go there when it rains or when there is<br />
a thunderstorm.<br />
<strong>My</strong> dogs also love this place. <strong>The</strong>y know when we are going there. <strong>The</strong>n they start dragging because they want to be<br />
there quickly.<br />
Tanja FI02<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place, or better said one of them, is Suomenlinna, a seafortress built during the Swedish rule, in the middle<br />
of 18 th century. That is maybe better known as “Sveaborg”. It’s quite far from my home, on the sea, in front of Helsinki,<br />
our capital.<br />
So the distance between my home and Suomenlinna is about six hundred kilometers.<br />
I visited it for the first time last summer when we (I, my godmother and my brother) made a trip there. <strong>We</strong> ate<br />
sandwiches and salad and walked on the ruins. <strong>The</strong>re were lots of dark tunnels and chambers to explore. <strong>We</strong> had a great<br />
time!
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is my dad´s domicile in a little village called Koli. It´s a big farm, but there aren´t other animals than<br />
dogs anymore. Koli is a bit like a village in the middle of nowhere. Still, I like it very much, because it´s quite peaceful<br />
and so close to nature. Nowadays it´s a pretty popular tourist attraction, but I don´t mind that at all. On the contrary; it´s<br />
nice to have some life there too.. ☺<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many sports and strolling facilities in Koli. I don´t care so much about them, but I like jogging in forests and<br />
cykling around the countryside. I´ve been there many times with my friends and we´ve always had such a good time,<br />
even if we haven´t done anything especial. I´m a very social person, but I guess I could be there a few weeks all<br />
alone.<strong>In</strong> the summer I just love to relax and go to the beach to sunbathe... <strong>In</strong> the winter I might go downhill racing or<br />
snowmobiling.I could never move there, because it´s too small a place for me, but in a small quantities I like it very<br />
much ;) I often go there at weekends or in longer holidays.<br />
Jenni FI02<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is my own hut. It is in my backyard. I built it when I moved there. It is my favourite place because I<br />
built it and there is so silent. <strong>The</strong>re I can relax. I visit it every day, because it is so near my home. I’m there about 1-2<br />
hours. I’m there often alone,but sometimes I go there with my friends.<br />

TEACHER: Mrs. Colleen Walcott<br />
On the west coast of Trinidad on the horizon sits a colossal temple in the sea. It is located<br />
along the Old Waterloo Road which are lined with stately palm trees. It was started <strong>by</strong><br />
Siewdass Sadho and continued <strong>by</strong> Caroni Limited. It is mainly surrounded <strong>by</strong> lush, green,<br />
grass and tall shady trees. It is my favourite place because while you sit: cool, relaxing breeze<br />
fills the atmosphere. <strong>My</strong> friends and I go and play in the near<strong>by</strong> park every evening which<br />
greets you before you enter the temple. <strong>We</strong> even watch the golden sunset as it disappears<br />
only to be there tomorrow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> temple is decorated with Hindu murties and gives me the feeling of safety. Surrounded <strong>by</strong><br />
the salty brown waters of the sea, gulls squawk loudly in the air. <strong>The</strong> temple <strong>by</strong> the sea is<br />
visited <strong>by</strong> many tourists from near and distant places. Sometimes people come to say prayers<br />
to their Gods for one reason or another.<br />
I love this place very much and I am very elated when I see new faces enjoying its<br />
tremendous beauty. I would like to see you there and maybe even we can even play a game<br />
and watch as the glorious sun waves us good <strong>by</strong>e. It is indeed the best place in the world.
<strong>My</strong> Favorite place<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many places I like to visit, but my favorite place is the barn where I ride my horse.<br />
<strong>The</strong> barn is located across the street from my house, close enough that I can walk there. I<br />
found this place about two years ago and have been riding there ever since. I visit the barn<br />
almost every day of the week. I often take three riding lessons a week and the other days I<br />
ride on my own or spend time with my friends. On weekends we usually go to horse shows<br />
where I compete against other girls my age. Some of my best friends are at the barn including<br />
my riding instructor Stacey. I share this place with many people. <strong>We</strong> all share the same love<br />
for the barn. Whether we are riding or just talking about horses we are always having fun and<br />
working hard. I have had many great memories with my horse and friends at the barn. This is<br />
why my favorite place is the horse barn.<br />

<strong>We</strong> want to tell you about our favorite place that we go to visit it every<br />
weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> name of the place is: park hei.<br />
First of all we want to tell you why we like this park and why it's so<br />
special for us.<br />
<strong>In</strong> this park, group of children and adults play "frizbi". Frizbi is a<br />
game that his purposes are: to throw some plate from plastic to each<br />
other that stand around and when one of the people throw the plate to<br />
you, cutch it!<br />
<strong>We</strong> like frizbi because we like games like that, we like to do sport and<br />
to play with our good friends.<br />
Believe it or not we knew this game not very long time ago.<br />
I think that frizbi is very funny and interesting game, we so like it! To<br />
cut a long storey short we like to play it and we hope that you will try<br />
to play frizbi. <strong>We</strong> are sure that if you will do it you will like it.

NAME : <strong>My</strong> favourite place <strong>by</strong> Monika Jasionyte<br />
<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a stud. This place is very beautiful and has a lot of horses.<br />
This stud is near Vilnius, the place where I live. It takes thirty minutes to go there <strong>by</strong><br />
car. It is not very far from my home. It is in the suburb of Vilnius, in Riese.<br />
<strong>My</strong> dad showed that place for me.<br />
I like this place very much, because I like horses. I feel happy when I ride a horse.<br />
<strong>My</strong> family often goes with me to the stud and sometimes they ride horses with me,<br />
too. <strong>The</strong>n I feel happier. <strong>We</strong> often go there on Saturdays and spend there an hour or<br />
more.<br />
This Saturday our <strong>ENO</strong> teacher organized the excursion to the stud together with<br />
some students of our school, my sister and my dad were there, too. <strong>We</strong> hired two<br />
horses. One was small. Her name is Klumpe. She was calm. Her breed is Zemaituku.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bigger one was bloodstock palfrey. She was quicker. Later we rode a pony. Her<br />
name is Pupa. It is a white pony, whose owner is 7years old girl and she can jump<br />
over the fence! Later we saw advanced riders who were jumping over the high<br />
fences. It was amazing!<br />
<strong>The</strong> day was fantastic, because I was with my family, my friends were together<br />
with me and the weather was fine!<br />
I would like to have the horse at home!<br />

Cheile Babei<br />
<strong>The</strong> place named Cheile Babei is an astonishing “neck of the woods” that is placed in<br />
the Poienii valley at the border between two county’s, Salaj and Maramures. Almost all<br />
summer long (especially)I wonder around either with my friends and many times alone, for<br />
peace and reflection, something every body needs at times, including my self.<br />
When visiting this places you can almost “heave” the serenity, the wild birds flying<br />
around (prey birds), the sound of the wind gently touching the trees, and your own thoughts<br />
almost making noise.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a clear water fountain that oxygenates in the calcareous mountain, and never<br />
dived even to this point in time “the menthol…”.<strong>The</strong> seniors of the village are saying that the<br />
cave in place was a “safety her use” for the “bad men” and his family.<br />
I personally never got the daring to make it over just because I did not have the necessary<br />
equipment…however one day I will make it…I promise it to my self. At the end I want to say<br />
that I will, eventually bring you all over and sit around the little tables enjoy the nature as it<br />
should be done more often cook some com on the cob with you all my friends, maybe make a<br />
little lire that we can sit around and talk about everything, anything, be friends the way we<br />
should…and then drink some cold fresh mountain water<br />
It is wonderful, let’s visit it soon…
Various places <strong>by</strong> Liceul Teoretic "Ovidius RO11<br />
<strong>The</strong> entrance to the forest was guarded <strong>by</strong> a monumental oak which seemed to be the gatekeeper of<br />
a fantastic, timeless forest. <strong>The</strong> tree had thick, gnarled branches and in its hollows black, bushytailed<br />
squirrels carefully stored their winter supplies.<br />
After contemplating the impressive oak, I made my way into the woods were I came across a trail, a<br />
trail that split in countless directions, like the arms of a giant octopus. Where should I go now?<br />
(Lavinia Samoila, 9 th B)<br />
Somewhere between Ontario and New York you will encounter a castle of water, an unforgettable<br />
sight which fills you with both immeasurable strength and endless tranquility. <strong>In</strong> the gentle rays of<br />
the sun, the attention of all those present is captured <strong>by</strong> the rainbows that emerge from the white<br />
foam. (Anca Ivan, 9 th E)<br />
To me, the Black Sea has two faces. <strong>In</strong> the summer, when thousands of people relish her enticing<br />
waters and selfishly claim her wonders, I feel that I and she have become estranged. But in all the<br />
other seasons, she is mine…<br />
I spend precious hours there, alone or surrounded <strong>by</strong> dear friends. She offers comfort in times of<br />
misery, when her furious waves accompany my bitter tears. She is also a companion for moments of<br />
celebration with friends exhibiting the same joy that flourishes in our hearts. (Tuguran Georgiana,<br />
9 th F)<br />
<strong>My</strong> beloved little haven, a place one could only find in paradise, is the botanical garden in Iasi.<br />
Every June brings with it an explosion of enchanting colours, a myriad of blooming roses that<br />
symbolise the rebirth of this marvellous garden. Countless types of flowers are a delight for the<br />
numerous visitors, who simply cannot get enough of watching the splendid plants. A whole day<br />
would not be offer sufficient time to enjoy the vast space and the wonderful forest that make up this<br />
splendid garden. (Panculescu Carina, 9 th H)<br />
It’s in the <strong>We</strong>stern Mountains but I am not quite sure where. Walking along the river I came across<br />
an amazing 9 meter tall waterfall. I was stood in stare as the water fell on the moss covered rocks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fresh air, the scent of moist grass and of wild flowers and the playful fish visible in the clear<br />
water were all parts of this beautiful scenery. (Nedelcu Ioana, 9th E)<br />
I love Bran because it is a gorgeous, almost magical land, full of green and rustic houses built in the<br />
unmistakeable Transylvanian style. <strong>The</strong> castle of Vlad Tepes quietly watches over the town,<br />
reminding people of the famous legend of the ruler. Sometimes, during the clear summer nights,<br />
packs of wolves gather in the forests and howl at the full moon. With natural fear, but indelible<br />
curiosity I set off for one of my midnight strolls.<br />
I hold Bran very close to my heart due to that something special that sets it apart from all other<br />
places I know. It’s a town where Romanian tradition and <strong>We</strong>stern influences perfectly blend.<br />
(Iordache Alexandra, 9 th H)<br />
I have never been in a more fascinating place than Tabacarie Park at dusk, when the trembling<br />
waves of the lake come together with the sun’s last rays. A true spectacle of nature that is bound to<br />
leave people with impressive memories. <strong>In</strong> the winter, this place seems a fairy tale realm. Covered
in pure, white snow, with sparkling little lights that appear as fallen stars, the park resembles a<br />
coroner of heaven. You almost feel unworthy in the face of such marvels… (Ghita Ioana, 9 th G)<br />
WEST AFRICA SECONDARY SCHOOL, GHANA<br />
MY FAVOURITE PLACE<br />
Youth and students are likely to have the opportunity to visit many places of interest to study<br />
both natural and physical things. Some of these natural and physical places may include Botifalls,<br />
Aburi Botanical Gardens, the Canopy Walkway at the Kakum National Park just to mention a few.<br />
Among the places stated above, we have chosen no other place than a mini forest or woodlot as our<br />
favorite place in our school. This is because we spend most of our days and time in school. This<br />
favorite place of ours is located at our school at the entrance before you enter the compound or<br />
precisely adjacent to the main school administration block at Adenta, a suburb of Accra. <strong>We</strong> all got<br />
to know this place when we were admitted to pursue our various courses in <strong>We</strong>st Africa Secondary<br />
School.<br />
What attracted us most is the way and manner the place is maintained. It is kept clean and one can<br />
really enjoy the fresh air under it. This makes the place conducive for learning. <strong>We</strong> also like this<br />
place because of the sweet scent of the flowers and the beauty of the flowers. <strong>We</strong> also like the place<br />
because of the different types or species of birds that are found in this mini grassland. This<br />
grassland is also used <strong>by</strong> the school cadet for their training. <strong>We</strong> also like the place because of the<br />
beauty of the vegetation and the big trees found in it .<br />
<strong>We</strong> visit this many woodlot almost everyday with the exception of the weekend and also during<br />
lessons when we are asked to go as an excursion to look at the trees and the vegetation. <strong>We</strong> usually<br />
spend about one hour during our own leisure time and 40 minutes during lessons on a visit there.<br />
<strong>We</strong> usually go there as a group during our own leisure time and also as a class..<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lahore museum is an important place where works of art ,& other objects of historical value are<br />
kept and displayed.It is an old imposing building with a high ceiling.<strong>The</strong> incharge of the museum is called<br />

arranged glass-cases which displayed ancient swords,daggers,garments,ornaments,coins,bow & arrows.<strong>The</strong>re were<br />
tags with brief descriptions on most of the items on display.<strong>The</strong>re were paintings,pictures & clay models of ancient<br />
craftsmanship.<strong>The</strong> huge statue of queen Victoria lay in one room of the museum.<strong>The</strong>re were old manuscripts of the<br />
Holy Quran in one room.Full size doors& frames with primitive fittings were specimens of rare wood work<br />
craftsmanship.<strong>The</strong> impressive display in the museum gave us a wealth of information & insight.It was a<br />
rewarding visit indeed.<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is Fethard in <strong>We</strong>xford Ireland.It is a very beautiful place.It is full of<br />
breathtaking rural Irish beauty but it also has magnificent marine beauty also.It has many<br />
perfect beaches which are pollution free unlike many beaches in Ireland today.It is home to<br />
the oldest lighthouse in Europe and one of the oldest functioning lighthouses in Europe.It is a<br />
magnificent tourist spot as many facilities are closley located.Waterford a major Irish city is<br />
only a 10 minute ride on a ferry where there is lots to see and do.<strong>The</strong> area is steeped in Irish<br />
history from the many risings rebellions and plantations which took place throughout the<br />
course of Irish History.<strong>The</strong>re is a huge problem however with the rising amount of tourists in<br />
the area there has been a huge rise in litter and holiday homes which is causing huge<br />
problems in the area but I still think it is very beautiful and is worth a visit if you are ever in<br />
Ireland.<br />

This picture was painted <strong>by</strong> Elias Lens – ( 13 years old) - 6 th grade -<br />
An awesome place<br />
For most people this is only a beach, but for me it is much more than that. This is the<br />
perfec place! <strong>The</strong> breeze of the sea, the vegetation, sand and a beautiful landscape.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sunset is wonderful!<br />
By looking at a place like this you feel how important it is to preserve the environment.
If you preserve it today, it means that tomorrow people will continue having lovely and<br />
peaceful places like this one. People shouldn´t destroy it. I am sad when I think that<br />
there are people who cut trees down; pollute air; throw rubbish outside the rubbish bin;<br />
etc… People should respect nature and conserve it.<br />
Brazil is a tropical country and we have a lot of beaches like this one. I live one hour far<br />
from the beach and I like the seashore very much.<br />

THE MOON OR THE MUDDY VOLCANOES/RO14<br />
Between Berca and Arbanasi, about 30 km from Buzau, we come across one of the best<br />
known geological reserves of Romania, the Muddy Volcanoes. After crossing a concrete bridge<br />
over the Buzau river, we enter the small town of Berca,then we come across a billboard which<br />
guides us towards "Piclele mici." <strong>We</strong> leave the car here and after having climbed for a while, a<br />
strange landscape opens in front of our eyes: a large overflow of mud over slopes and<br />
hollows. <strong>The</strong>se formations called <strong>by</strong> the local people "picle" are known under the name of the<br />
"muddy volcanoes." <strong>The</strong> name of "muddy" is quite clear, but why "volcanoes?" Purely and<br />
simply because of their cone-shaped form with a crater in the middle. <strong>In</strong> the case of the real<br />
volcanoes, the lava comes through the volcanic horn from a hot magma cradle, it gets out<br />
through the crater and flows over the slopes turning solid. <strong>The</strong> muddy volcanoes have been<br />
formed through a similar process with the only difference that here the lava has been replaced<br />
<strong>by</strong> mud. However, the real difference is a geological one: the lava was prepared in the telluric<br />
depth of the planet where temperatures rise to several thousand degrees, where the metals<br />
are melted and where the engines that create the mountains roll on , producing devastating<br />
earthquakes and moving the continents. <strong>The</strong> real volcanoes belong to the kingdom of Pluto the<br />
Hot and volcanologists are in charge of their study.<br />
<strong>The</strong> muddy volcanoes originate in the layer closer to the surface of the earth crust. <strong>The</strong> gas<br />
associated to the crude deposits in the sedimentary rocks, make their way towards the surface<br />
through clefts, reach the underground water layer, where they also involve the waters in their<br />
movement and on their way upwards, they also wash the clay and the other rock fragments<br />
they might meet with. Since mud cannot exist without water, the muddy volcanoes are<br />
affiliated to Neptun's kingdom and it is the oilmen and hydrologists who are dealing with them.<br />
But let's better have a look at the show put up at the surface. <strong>The</strong> volcanoes cones are not<br />
higher than 5-6 meters and the mud drops out on the slightly inclined slopes. A varied range<br />
of colours appears in front of our eyes. <strong>We</strong> discover the beauty of the mud which displays<br />
greyish and brown colours of a great variety and refinement. <strong>The</strong> chocolate borders of the<br />
crater are adorned with the white crust of crystallized salt and with belts of yellow sulphur<br />
mud, ochre or a shining black. <strong>The</strong> pressure of the derrick gas defeats with great difficulty the<br />
viscous liquid which swells out, forms a hemisphere, splits and wearily falls down with a sigh<br />
into the boiling cauldron. If we bring a lit match closer to them a blue flame will braze out<br />
because the bubbles are mostly made of methane. At the foot of the small volcanoes, the mud<br />
torrents have dried up acquiring shapes that remind the bark of the old trees and the honey<br />
comb.<br />
After having had a glimpse of "Piclele Mici" is it worth going to visit "Piclele Mari" as well,<br />
situated in their immediate neighbourhood. Here, the cones are less striking, in exchange the<br />
cauldrons are larger recalling the form of the Hawaii volcanoes. Why do the muddy volcanoes<br />
exist only here and not anywhere else, there where crude deposits are found as well? <strong>The</strong><br />
explanation should be sought in the archeological structure of the Eastern Carpathians. As is<br />
known, the Eastern Carpathians are formed of extended peaks oriented towards the northsouth,<br />
separated among them <strong>by</strong> depressions, from the Bucovina hills to the chain of volcano<br />
mountains. But this is only the tangible part of the iceberg because in the depth the same<br />
structure of extended compartments separated <strong>by</strong> deep faults is observed. One of them is the<br />
Bisoca fault, a giant, hundreds of km long cleft. <strong>The</strong> latter joins the superficial level of the<br />
geological structures where the crude and gas ores that emerge to the surface are to
e found. A dry emanation of natural gas is located in the vicinity, at Andreiasu, where another<br />
geological monument "<strong>The</strong> Unextinguished Fires" is situated. This faul is an extension of the<br />
hypocentral seismic zone of Vrancei Mountains, which actually terrorizes us.<strong>In</strong> spite of the big<br />

Our favourite place – ZW02<br />
<strong>We</strong> could have come with different places but we thought of looking at our favourite place<br />
within our school.<br />
<strong>We</strong> love our playfield because we can play with friends. It has nice green lawn and some trees<br />
for shade. You can watch everyone, nice sight to see other pupils playing cricket, other rug<strong>by</strong>,<br />
other sit in small groups talking and a loner there and here.<br />
It is really a nice place to be especially in summer when the environment is green and the air<br />
smells fresh, tree with green leaves and flowers blooming, jacaranda adds a lavender fill to the<br />
atmosphere. God you blessed us with this we are seeing now, we are so grateful and thankful<br />
to. Help us conserve the beauty you have given us and continue to fellowship with you.<br />

<strong>My</strong> favourite place <strong>by</strong> Dominika Steć PL05<br />
Is this leafy forest. It is in Lipno. It is near my house. It is a wonderful place. This forest is<br />
very beautiful. <strong>The</strong>re is something strange and mysterious in it what attracts me to it. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are many sorts of trees, plants and many sorts of birds. <strong>The</strong> most beautiful season is autumn,<br />
when one can find wonderful leaves with different colours and shapes. I drive there in every<br />
weekend. I spend there several hours, walking about and breathing with fresh air. Most often<br />
I ride there on my bicycle, then I can meditate and have a rest but sometimes I go with my<br />
best colleagues and then we walk about and we talk.

<strong>My</strong> favourite place is a pet-home.<br />
I like pet-home because there are dear animals and people. <strong>In</strong> pethome<br />
there are different animals, many of which are: forsaken, fierce,<br />
pye-dog and tear etc. Next to pet-home is very big forest. <strong>The</strong>re we<br />
are going garland with dogs.<br />
Next to this old building base will be new pet-home. <strong>We</strong> are going to the pet-home every week. Pethome<br />
is in Dubravka - part of our capital city Bratislava.<br />
<strong>We</strong> are travelling there long time but it repays.<br />
Picture number one is construction new pet-home. He is in<br />
advanced conditions.<br />
But missing there: heating, coat of paint, light, electricity.<br />
Every animal had own cot. This pet-home will be biggest as<br />
old pet-home. Picture number two is pet-home from the inside.<br />
Across pet-home is big corridor. Next pet-home will be<br />
corridor at paddock. <strong>The</strong>re can animals run, play and train.<br />
Over there many trees, stones and river because were not be<br />
thirst. This dog is very nice. Because is happy. Very dear<br />
people adaptated him.<br />
He was at pet-home for two years.<br />
Good example of humanity are people which adapted<br />
female dog.<br />
She was at horrible condition because of her dispose of<br />
the car during drive.<br />
It is horrible how people conduct animals. “Liberty for<br />
animals” give her at pet-home and treat her legs because<br />
he had broken legs. <strong>The</strong>re was no money for operation.<br />
But good people pay operation and dog adaptation.<br />
Every year come true collection for safe animals lives.<br />
<strong>We</strong> help to collect. Money which we collect sends at collection for building new pet-home.<br />
New pet-home build many workmen and we are helping them. <strong>We</strong> help them to sweep up, carry<br />
bricks and many next things. You can visit pet-home at your vicinity. You advise good act and you<br />
help there<strong>by</strong> who need it most.
