Hello, dear participants of our common "LAND",

It’s time to start our work. The task you are welcome to create and submit to http://klab.lv/users/latnorland/ is as follows: You are two groups participating- Norwegians and Latvians.

Stage 1

Write, please, how you imagine your partners' country- lifestyle, location, climate, nature, culture, sport, people, some stereotypes etc.) Mind! No "googling", please. Use your knowledge, imagination, expectations... Do not worry if you think your knowledge might not be perfect! This is we are here to get to know both- our countries, schools, each other! )

Submit your writings using the button: "Leave a comment". As you are not registered members of that blog, do not forget to sign your name, otherwise your writing will appear as anonymous. Do not hesitate to ask whether to Ms Ewa or me whenever you need our help or support.

Stage 2

 Choose one blog (writing) from your partner's team, read it and, using button "Reply", comment on your peer's writing. Agree with him/her, disagree, and, finally, tell a little about your country and yourself! Thus we will see if our concepts about Latvia and Norway had been close to reality.

Stage 3

Your expectations (concepts) from the stage 1and your comments from the stage 2 will be published at etwinning website- Twin-space.

The deadline is set of almost 2 weeks - 5th May.  Try to meet it, please!

 Good luck!

Your administrator of the blog - Gundega.

P. S. 200-250 words (about 3 paragraphs) would be welcome...

  Hey! So now we are in Norway are supposed to write what we know and think about your country. I have to admit that I don't know much about Latvia, but I'll try to tell a bit of what I've heard. If you want, I would appreciate that you comment my message and tell me more about your country.
  Okei. Now I'll try. Latvia is in Europe and it boards Estonia and Lithuania. I've heard a lot of Estonia and that country I thought sounds more sad and poor. I think you in Latvia have more money and a landscape there is more manifold. You have more farms in Latvia and bigger places. I think you're not so poor as many say, but what do I know?
  I've heard about that many travel to Latvia on Holidays and sometime I want to go there, too. I like to see other countries and how other people live. So one day you'll se me ;) I want to know more about Latvia, so if some of you would comment my message and tell me something about Latvia, that would be nice. Can you tell me a bit about the farming, music, landscape and how you usually live in Latvia? :)

    It’s nice to hear from you se many nice things about our country.  I wouldn’t say that we are rich country, but I like live in Latvia. We are strong people and can go through many problems and don’t lose our optimistic and patriotically spirit.
    But you wanted to know more about Latvia. So I tray tell something. I really think that our nature is fantastic. There are many beautiful lakes and some great mountains where in winter we can ski or snowboard.  My favorite places in our country are woods. I like that we have big and adorable. I can walk there hours long.
    So I think you would like Latvia if you come there some day. But I wanted see your country too. I think Norway is marvel.
    Signe.
