Free time activities / hobbies

My dear students, welcome back to our blog!
This topic has been mentioned a lot in the surveys we have asked you to complete. I am going to reveal it! Here it is. Our first topic is FREE TIME ACTIVITIES & HOBBIES.
What are you expected to do? To put it simple- tell your colleagues (peers) about what you are really interested in when the door of the school closes behind you.
Music? What genres or styles are your favourite.
Literature? (“Twilight” by Stephanie Mayer or plays of Shakespeare??? )
Hate reading? Then sport. What kind of sport and why? Or cars, IT, or fishing, or...
We would be glad if you write genuine information and it would be really nice if you could find a person with similar hobbies and share your experiences and reply...
How to become a blogger?
Ask your teacher or find the first entry – 22nd April 2009.
A Deadline? 20th October??? 20th October then.
All pleasure mine to be your administrator!
Yours, Gundega.
Two- houndred- and- fifty words in English about me? Phew! That’s a lot when you don’t like it very much. I’ve always had trouble with understanding English. I suppose it has to do with that I seldom watch Television-series and movies. I have’nt read many books either. When I do watch Television, I follow sportsarrangements of all different sorts, and soccermatches in particular.
I am a Norwegian boy, sixteen years old. I live in a small town called Raufoss, in the south-east part of Norway. I live half of the time by my mother, and the other half by my father. I have one younger sister, a dog named ”Doffen” and a car named ”Pjusk”. It’s an understatement to say I like soccer, I love it! My position is Midfielder, and you can say I’m a hardworking player. Bigmouthed and excited too.
I also enjoy other training, I like to run and ride my bike, I also occasionally play handball, and like that very much too. In winter I think it’s lovely to take my cross-contry skies for a round in the woods. Therefore I have choosen to go to school in Lena, where I can combine my basic education with knowledge in training and also practice sports at school.
I’m outgoing and cheerful. I’m curious about other people, and I enjoy meeting people and hang around with my friends. I like music, all kinds of pop, rock and rap. My favourite artist is Eric Clapton, he’s a brilliant guitarist and singer. Sometimes I sing too, just for fun, and I like it when I can entertain people with jokes and so on.
Food is important to me, I like to prepare and eat delicious courses and desserts. One of my absoulute favourites is fillet of raindeer, with a nice homemade Pannacotta for dessert. I also enjoy dining in fancy restaurants, I like the atmosphere around the table while dining, I sometimes go with my friends, asions on other occasions with my family.
I'm Linda, I'm sixteen years old too and I'm from Latvia.
How long are you playing soccer?
I wish I could do it like you - to take my cross-country skies for a round in the woods, but no, because the winters in Latvia now are pretty warm and mostly it's muddy not snowy, last winter we had enough snow and we were skiing in PE lessons too, but it was the first PE lesson in my life when we skied! In usual winters it's almost impossible.
could you explain me what is fillet of reindeer? and Pannacotta?
once in my life time I have eaten reindeer meat, it was in spring when I was in Finland (I was there because of a similar project like this) and first time I saw raindeers! for you maybe it's something usual and maybe even annoying to see a reindeer but for me it was amazing. :)
I have been playing soccer since I was 6 years old and right now I practise about 15 hours a week. Yes, we in Norway are very lucky to have snow 5 months a year. You are welcome to visit me in January, so we can take a ski trip :)
Reindeer meat is a delicacy here in Norway and we eat it very rarely. I have eaten reindeer just a few times, but it is absolutely fantastic. You tasted it in Finland, it was good?
Panna Cotta is a desert similar to Crème Brule. It is mainly made of sugar and cream. Haha, I've never seen reindeer, only in a zoo! :D

Thanks for the invitation. :) but I'm a bad skier. Really. :D
Really? I'm actually wondering about it, because in Finland it was like something very usual and I thought that in Norway it should the same, but it seems that Norway and Finland aren't so similar at all.
Yes, I tasted it in Finland. It was very good. :)
Now I understand what it is. Thanks for the explanation. It can't be, are you just kidding? So it seems that I'm really wrong about the similarities between Norway and Finland... :D

At first something about me. My name is Elīna, I`m seventeen years old, I`ve two older sisters than me and great parents. I`ve a dog and a cat too. And I`ve also two cows.
You`re saying you`ve alvays had trouble with understanding English but looks like your English knowledges are brilliant comparing to mine. So don`t worry.
It`s wonderful that you like skiing and I like skiing too. The only different is that we have no mountains. The highest point in Latvia is just 312 m high. Some years ago I used to take my skies and go around our meddow a lot of times. For now it`s not possible because snow usually is wet or there is no any snow. :(
Talking about Eric Clapton, only song that I know is "Tears in heaven" and I love it. Maybe you could recommended some grate songs of Eric Clapton?
Speaking about the food I`ve never tried a raindeer! I guess it`s delicious. One of my favourites is pork chop with cheese. And the desert I like the best is all kind ice-creams. And yes, food is also important part of my life.
I was woundering, which could be the place you would advise me to see in Norway? Keep in mind that I woul love to see fjords and I`ve never been there before.
