My Favorite Country

Holland is really great you may think that we walk on wooden shoes but we don’t. We just walk on normal shoes. We don’t live in mills, we live in normal houses. In Holland the weather really bad! I would like to live in warmer country like Australia or Portugal! I hope I see you all sometime!

We have to write about what we think about the Netherlands / Holland.
I think that is a good idea. The Netherlands are a little bit boring and flat.
The weather is bad in the Netherlands. I like to go to North America because it’s not so flat and there are brown bears. Brown bears are my favorite animals. I have write some Netherlands words just like Nienke.
