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...

    I am writing to tell how I imagine and what I know about your country to show my knowledge about your country and things I don’t know. Beforehand I am saying sorry if I wrote something wrongly about Norway therefore please correct them, me.
    I know that Norway is a country in North Europe in west of the Scandinavian Penisula. Norway has a border line with Sweden in east. I have seen a lot of beautiful pictures from Norway because my brother worked there. Norway has a lot of beautiful landscapes with mountains, green trees and with more green plants. Thought all those pictures where taken in summer so I haven’t seen how does Norway look in winter but I hope to see it. I don’t much about sports in Norway but because of Norway’s climate I would say that there in Norway winter games like hockey, skiing, are popular and football also might be popular. Norway’s climates have cold winters and cool summers. I don’t much about Norwegian music or literature you could even say that I don’t know anything about music or literature. I would like to know more about literature than music.
    I would like to hear answer from you. With best regards Andris from Latvia.

      Norwegian literature: our greatest, world-famous writers are Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun. Have you learnt anything about them in your literature classes?

      Music: Haven`t you heard about our famous pop-band, a-ha?

            I’m interest in Latvian folk music, but if you like to use internet, then visit website youtube.com and try to find video with title “es redzeju rigas pili” and then you can hear Latvian folk music and see our folkdances. Personally I really love watch folkdances.
            Our films are little cheerless, but it’s because all Latvian films are based on real life situations. But our literati are really great. At least I think so. Like Rainis, Aspazija. I guess you haven’t heard about them, right? So, what else you want know?

      In Norway there are a lot of mountains. (The highest is 2469 meters above m.s.l)
      There are also a lot of trees and lakes here. In winter there are a lot of snow many places. Norway is a quite small country and there are not many people that live here.

      We don`t know anything about Latvia but we think it is a small country with almoust no mountains and a lot of fields and farms with cows and sheep.
