Christmas traditions

As you all know christmas is just around the corner, so I thougt it would be a good idea to compare a few christmas traditions in austria to a english speaking country like canada.

First of all you need to know that canadian christmas traditions are largely similar to those in the USA, but with some influences from the UK.

One of the biggest differences in christmas traditions is that austrian children believe in the "Christkind", which brings the presents and not in Santa Clause.
Another difference is that in Austria there are lots of Christmas markets, almost every small town has their own one.
But in Canada there are a lot of big light shows and light events were buildings are decorated with lights.
Another traditional canadian thing is the Royal Chistmas Message from the canadian monarch to all the other commonwealth countries on the world. In Austria the christmas tree which also stands in almost every small town, is a big tradition.

So I hope I could give you some interesting informations about these christmas traditions.

That's all for this posting, Bye!

My work-life balance

Hey guys!

Last english lesson we were talking about healthy living, eating and also how we are reduceing our personal stress in school and so on.
A good jumping-off point for a healthy life is to sleep enough. Everday I see students who haven't enough sleep and me too. I can't sleep more than 6 houres on normal school days because then I need to go to school and that's bad because I feel really tired the whole day and I can't concentrate on school.
The next things are eating healthy and doing some sports in your free time. I often go for a run with a few friends and it's great fun. I also really like to play football with my friends and also in school with my colleagues.
When I'm not doing any sports and having free time I'm meeting some friends, we are going out and making party and maybe drink one or two glases.

I really can relax when I am doing this things.

My favourite musician

Hi,
the last days at school, we were talking about famous bands and musicians so I'm going to tell you some things about my favourite musician.
I listen to a lot of different music genres and musicians, that's why I have no favourite, but if I have to choose I would take AVICII!

Avicii's real name is Tim Bergling and he is a swedish DJ, remixer and record producer who was born 1989.
2010 Avicii released the hit song "Seek Bromance", wich reached the top 20 in a few countries.
In 2011, he released the "Levels", which launched him into the mainstream.
In 2012, "Sunshine" in collaboration with David Guetta was nominated for a Grammy, then the international breakthroug began.

In 2013, Avicii released a lot of new tracks together with his new album "True".
One of the most popular is "Wake Me Up", which was 14 weeks number 1 on Billboards Dance/Electronic Songs list.

Business Idea

Hey guys!

Last school lesson we were talking about our own business ideas and founding a own company.
So now I want to give you some quick informations about my company.

My company is called "FutureClothing" the name of my own new brand. This brand offers shoes and clothes with a really high quality but a really cheap price, because not everyone can buy clothes from Adidas or Hollister.
The slogan of my company is saying "Buy future".
I hope some day I will have thousands of stores all over the world, but now I'd like to open a store in Linz.


I'm looking forward to your visit.

My shopping trip

Hi!
This time I want to tell you some things about my last big shopping day. It was last Tuesday, we had no school so I had time to go on a big shopping trip.
Some of my friends and I went to the CCA in Amstetten. It is a small shopping centre compared to others like the Haid Park in Linz or the Plus City, but there also many Shops you can buy things with a big parking area around.


The main reason why we went on this trip is because my friends and I needed new clothes for school.
So we went first to the shop of H & M and bought some clothes and we saw some really interesting things there, but we didn't buy everything.
Then we went to New Yorker, my personal favourite for clothing.


After that it was 12 o'clock and we ate Pizza and went to other shops. One of these Shops was Libro and I bought a really good film there called "Gone Girl" with Ben Affleck.


At 7 o'clock p.m. we drove home, it was almost a whole day we shopped there and it was pretty great fun.

My favourite sport

Let me tell you about my favourite Sport, parkour. I have been practising this Sport not very much but I think it is very cool and inspiring and I would like to give you some facts about this wonderful Sport.

First of all parkour is not an easy sport because you need  to be very athletic and you should have a lot of strenght.
Parkour is also known as "Art of efficient movement".This discipline is kown by getting from A to B in the most efficient way possible only using the human body.

It can be practised alone or in a group but of course it is more fun  in a group. Parkour is usually done in urban places like cities because there are more things you can climb up and jump over.
And you can use everything even it looks impossible.

For parkour you don't need special Equipment and there are no rules.

Austrian Food

Dear Daniel,


thanks for your E-Mail, let me give you some information about food and table manners in Austria.


When you come to Austria there are a few informations you should know, but it is nothing very difficult or unusual.
So first thing you need to know is that we eat with fork, knife and spoon. When you eat meat or something else that is not like a soup you have the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left.


It is also not allowed to make any noises while you are eating. It is not very fine for the others.


Also, it would be very patient if you eat all food on the plate and ask for more if you want.


You can eat chicken or chips with your hands, but you don't have to.

These are the most important facts  about austrian table manners.
As you might know the most popular food in Austria is the Schnitzel, but desserts like the Apfelstrudel are also really good and you schould try them.


In Austria there are also a few italian or chinese restaurants which have really good food and it is getting popular to eat food from different countries in the world.


If you have any other questions about austrian food you can ask me.


See you soon


Yours Kevin!

My room

Hello, recently at school we spoke about teenage rooms and what parents can do to help their children to decorate their own room.
So today I give you some facts about my own room.

First of all my room is not really spacious, when you come into there is a big black wardrobe at the left side for my clothes and also two big red boxes for magazines and stuff like that. Then at the front there are a window and a door where you can go at the balcony. On the right side there is a mirror and a chair. And the last important thing in my room is my bed it is really big and I love it.

So this is my room, at the end of the text there will be a picture of my room, see you!

My new year's resolutions

Hey guys, what's up?

So as you all know, it's 2015 now, and I want to give you some more informations about me, especially about my resolutions for the new year. 

The first resolution is to be more focused about school and stuff like that.

Second one is, to don't play videogames very often, like 2 hours a day. I want to reduce it to 1 hour a day.

The last thing I also will do is to spend more time with my friends at home not at school. Because last year I hadn't the time to do that and so I want to do it this year.

And there you have it, the new year's resolutions, I wish you a happy new year, and I know it is a little bit to late for this but whatever.

You will hear from me soon and write in the comments what your new year's resolutions are!
