BRITISH CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS

Christmas is Britain’s most popular holiday. At Christmas, people decorate the Christmas tree  and their houses, they often send cards   to each other and children sing carols in the street  . At home, children have got a stocking   and Father Christmas (Santa Claus)   puts presents in it. They always open their presents on Christmas Day. In the evening the family has Christmas dinner. They eat roast turkey   or beef with fried potatoes and Brussels sprouts. For dessert, they often have sweet mince pies or Christmas pudding  .

At Christmas dinner, they put Christmas crackers   on each plate. In the crackers, there is usually a party hat, a riddle and a toy.

The Surroundings: Around the town and its lake there are high mountains. That is why it is quite cold and wet during winter. Τhere is snow on the mountains for over four months of the year.

The Town Old and New: The town is over 15 centuries old and it has a beautiful old castle overlooking the lake. The view from its top is fantastic. There are many old houses inside the castle and life there is peaceful and quiet. There are also modern neighbourhoods, with blocks of flats, shops, cars and busy streets.”

LET’S NOT FORGET THE FORESTS! (Δοκιμαστικό)

Mediterranean Forests

The Mediterranean is one of the most important regions in the world for its forests. These forests are situated in an area between the European, African and Asian continents and are very important for their biodiversity features – plants and animals. But the Mediterranean forests are under threat. One of the most serious threats is fires. This has caused serious problems in the area during the last few decades. Other general threats to the Mediterranean forests are:

  • Climate change
  • Droughts and floodings
  • Extensive building development
  • Atmospheric pollution
