Our trip to Italy

The classes 3AK and 3CK spent a whole week in Italy from the 17 of May till the 21 of May. I thought you might be interessted because this week was our sport week and we also added some culture. I think it was very funny because it was a good mix beetween sports and cultur.

We made a trip to Venice and we went to a litle village where we ate in a good restaurant. In the evenings we always sat togehter and we relaxed. We often went to the town and there we ate pizza. It was very worm and we never had to us a pullover

We also made some sports, we made a trip with the bycicle and we played football.

Personally i think it was a very nice week and I would do it again;)

Here is my best photo:

My opinion about the presentation

I think that the presentation was very good, because they spoke very fluently and for the first presentation it was a very good sucks.

Personally I think that the introduction and the podcast were the best points of the presentation.

I also think that the website is a very nice help to find destinations for travels and i am shure i will book there once a trip.

My Pressreview about Vienna's Airport


I've read an article in the Austrian Times the other day and it talks about that Vienna International Airport reported that it had a 5.4 per cent increase in passengers to about 1,200,000 in February 2010. I thought you might be interessted in this article because a rising number of passengers will help the airport overcome recession, and the work at VIA’s new Skylink terminal can go on. Unicredit analysts described the situation of the Airport as critical. They said if they would continue like that the airport will go bancrupt.

Basically what it says is that it hasn’t been possible to calculate what Skylink’s total cost since there would be no cost guarantees until all work contracts had been signed.

Last year, the workers didn’t work anymore, because the costs from the project rose from 400 to 800 million €. Personally I think that it’s very important to have an airport in Vienna because through the airport many tourists come to Austria and our economy rises.


Vocabulary:

reduce: (verringern): The Airport in Vienna has to reduce the costs of the skylink.

Describe(beschreiben): I have to describe something whithout saying it’s name.

Christmas traditions all over the world



Christmas in different countrys



A few days ago I read an article about christmas traditions in the inernet and it talked about different traditions in different countries. I thought you might be interessted because everbody likes christmas and it is interested in knowing different cultures. Bascially waht is said is that for instance in afrika the preparation for Christmas begins when some group is designated to prepare the annual Christmas tree. Further more, the text talked about Christmas in Denmark. In Denmark they light candles on the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. After dancing round the tree, singing traditional songs, the members of the family exchange gifts and they call Christmas Jul.



Basically what this text says is that yevery country has their own traditions and another country i exlapin here is Greenland. In Greenland, people visit family and friends, drink coffee, eat cakes and exchange gifts. Everybody gets Mattak, a whale skin with a strip of blubber inside, as a gift on Christmas. In villages, children go from hut to hut singing songs. Christmas trees are imported and are decorated with candles and bright ornaments. People dance all night long and sing carols

What I remembered from our last lesson

Flora mentioned that the more she learned about Austrian culture, the more she got to know about her own culture in Ireland. Flora also says that she was able to correct some of her clichés about Austria and that she also explained that the could also chanche some clichés about Ireland. She couldn't believe that it's allowed to smoke in Austria on public places because she said that she had never seen this before. Her ignorance came from the fact that in Ireland smoking on public places isn't allowed.
