My oral presentation is about a trip I did to India last christmas.


My oral presentation is about a trip I did last Christmas. I went to India. We left the 22nd of December and we came back the 6th of January. I went with my mother and 4 friends of Holland, so we were six. We travelled in a mini-bus and we had our own chauffeur, because it’s very dangerous to drive there for strangers.
We travelled to a lot of cities and also through the countryside. In the city there were a lot of people, during the day they stay outside and they live outside. There are a lot of colours. In India there’s market every day. People use bicycles, riksja’s (to transport other people or things) and tuk-tuk’s (this are Indian taxis). Trough the city you can see cows everywhere, you also can see camels and horses. When we travelled trough the countryside, we had to stop a lot to let some cows or camels cross the road.
We also visited a lot of monuments: temples, forts, palaces, havelis (which are houses were traders lived) and we also visited the Taj Mahal. They all were very nice.
We did a trip on an elephant to go up to a fort. It was very touristic but a nice experience. We also did a trip on a camel to go to see a sunset. My friend and I painted some henna on our hands and arms.
It was a very nice experience, I really loved it.

YES WE CAN - Barack Obama




Watch carefully. How many Obama sentences can you write in your blog?

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can!
