It is what canopying is all about. This adventure sport is latest fun in Costa Rica and in the rest of the world where you can find the rain forests. If the fact of flying through treetops at 40 meters from the ground seems to you as frightening and exciting idea, just imagine what it must be like to do it among the tree tops of
The spring I like the spring. It is very nice season. Everything comes into flower. Every animal come to life and in country is more of life. The country is more beautiful.

Christmas passed just a few weeks ago and my mother started to panic, along with 51 percent of the Slovak female population. This might seem strange to somebody who does not know our traditions. The end of February is the time of year when people are getting ready for one of the most important holidays in Catholic tradition, Easter Holiday. In fact, most of the Slovak population practices Roman Catholicism and its holidays are strongly connected with traditions, especially in the small towns and villages. My family and I happened to live in one

After the crowd of villagers had dispersed on that merry Christmas day of the sled race, Nicholas was stopped at the door of the cottage where he had spent the last year by a lean, dark looking man who looked as though he had never smiled in his life. It was Bertram Marsden the wood carver of the village, who all the children called “Mad Marsden” because he lived alone, rarely spoke to anybody and chased the children away from his door with black looks and harsh words. “You haven’t forgotten have you Nicholas that you move to my
This is a very old celebration, when the people are repaying depts, enjoying feasts, remem-bering ancestors and giving “red envelopes”. Why red?

Although the relative clauses in English language are very similar to relative clauses in Slovak language, they are translated in a different way.

For example this simple and complex sentences: A/ The woman is Bathsheba Everden. The woman
The conflict between the king and the Parliament was inevitable and two opposing camps were formed in the country: The Royalists and the Parliament
The first conflict between king and Parliament during Stuart monarchs had started with James I. But his disagreements with Parliament were temporary.

Civil war is also called the Great Rebellion. It

When we have guests we prepare lunch of three courses. The first course is soup. We usually have beef bouillon with vermicelli.
