WINTER HOLIDAYS IN POLAND

Since winter holidays in Poland have finished recently, we'd like to present the most popular ways of spending this time in our country.


As probably all over the world the most frequently practiced winter activities are skiing and snowboarding. Not only is it possible for Polish people to do these sports in the mountains and thus taking advantage of professional ski-lifts and equipment as well as relishing the wonderful atmosphere of this place but also they can master their skills in these fields of life without leaving the area. The routes here are not so diversified and the ski-lifts not so modern, however people on the slopes seem to enjoy their time equally.


The next winter activity adored by crowds is ice-skating. Although it is not as extreme as the previous ones, it doesn't require so much practice and experience, the equipment is cheaper and ice-rinks more easily available.


Finally, the activities like sleighing or sleigh rides are also quite popular, especially among young children and although they are considered the source of entertainment rather than sports, we will also associate them with winter holidays.


And you, how do you spend your winter holidays?

Did you try any of these sports during winter holidays? I must say I really did a lot of ice-skating when I was a child but I think I have to try it again, though it might be a little difficult after so many years.

So why don't we go together on the ice-rink on our English "speech" lesson for example next Wednesday? Ok, just joking but I think that everyone would like the idea;)

Well, I tried all of them however the results are...hmmm...average.
Aga, have I ever told you you were a genius?? The idea about ice-skating instead of speeches...it's better than great!

What can I say? Never, speeches above all... :-))
