Christmas traditions

In our last english lesson we talked about Christmas traditions. C hristmas traditions vary from country to country. I tell you some more informations about the traditions in the USA.

It is common to organize a special meal, often consisting of Turkey for family or friends and exchange gifts with them. Children often receive a lot of gifts from their parents and other relatives and the mythical figure Santa Claus. This has led to Christmas Day becoming an increasingly commercialized holiday, with a lot of families spending a large part of their income on gifts and food. Many Sunday schools, churches and communities organize special events. These can include decorating the neighborhood or a shopping mall or putting up a Christmas tree. Some groups arrange meals, shelter or cha...

Work-Life Balance

In our last English lesson we were talking about a healthy work-life-balance. We learnd that erveryone has other things how he/she reduce stress. So I'd like to tell you about my lifestyle and how I deal with stress. For me these things are the most important to avoid stress: A relaxing holiday before returning to school in autumn is very important for me because it gives me new strength. Sleeping at least nine hours a day is essential, especially when I have a long school day with nine hours the next day. Playing volleyball keeps me fit. There is also another thing for me to reduce stress a bit: I listen to music. I hope you liked my little overview how I reduce stress.

Eating Habits in Austria

Dear Julia, thanks for your E-Mail, let me give you some information about food and table manners in our family and in restaurants. Lets start with the table manners in a restaurant. Remain standing until invited to sit down. You may shown to a particular seat. Put your napkin on your lap as soon as you sit down. The fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the right hand while eating. Do not begin eating until the host or Hostess says "Mahlzeit" or "Guten Appetit". Finish everything on your plate. So you show the cook that it was good. You have finished eating by laying your knife and fork parallel on your plate. Now I want to tell you table manners and eating habits in our family. During the week, I never eat breakfast because I do not have enough time in the morning to eat something. When I have a long day at school, I eat something for lunch from the buffet at our school. If I have a short day, I take the bus and my mum usually cooks lunch f...
