Questions from Colegio America

17. A place you like

Asked by: Colegio America | Gymnasium Linde

a)Think about a place close to you that you particularly like. In order to get to know one another better, and understand different lifestyles, I would really appreciate you describing this place (or sending a photograph)

 

b)Describe a famous person from your country, and explain what in particular impresses you about this person.

 

a)

A place that I really like is the Aare. That’s a small river below my village. In summer I am often there with my friends. Next to the Aare there are a lot of fields so it’s a good place for relaxing. I like the calm there. The Aare is bordered by trees and there are a lot of benches on the border and on Sunday we meet many old people there. We meet fishermen too. But they fish for fun. It’s funny because all weekends they are on all bridges over the Aare.

In winter the Aare is frozen. But that is rare. When it is frozen we can skate and walk on the ice.

 

b) The most famous person in Switzerland is Roger Federer. At the moment he is the number one in the world of tennis. The whole world knows him. I think that Roger is a good person. He is always calm and when he wins he can show emotions but he never brags. He isn’t like the other stars. Just in tennis he shows everybody his talents but his privacy isn’t for the people around the world. He is famous because he plays tennis and not because he shows everybody his family life like Paris Hilton

;-) Above all he’s a symbol of fairness.
