Summary from IS8, Kharkiv gymnasium 55, Ukraine

Page history last edited by Marina Kornienko 14 years, 3 months ago

As Hungary lies in the Carpathian Basin and in the temperate zone, it hasn't got any high mountains or sandy beaches. Its landscape is rather characterized by great plains and meadows, hills and forests, rivers, lakes and brooks.

We have several types of land species such as peat, sand landscapes, marine clay, cretaceous lösslandscape

Ukraine is the largest European state, the second after France. The village of Dilove (district of Rakhiv) is considered to be the geographical centre of Europe. It occupies a vast territory which is rich in different natural zones. Ukraine stretches from the mountains in the west to the steppes in the east and from the ma rshes in the north to the sea in the south.

Ukraine’s longest river is the Dnipro. It ranks as Europe’s third longest waterway. It divides the country into right- bank and left-bank Ukraine, and flows south to the Black Sea.

Ukraine has picturesque scenery and a temperate continental climate.One can see and hear different animals in the morning, it depends on the place: in the country you can hear oxen and you can see a hare or a fox. Both in the country and in town you can hear a nightingale.

Approximately 2,200 plant species and 45,000 animal species live in the territory of Hungary, most of which are Central-European species. all the caves in the territory of Hungary are protected, and 125 of those enjoy increased protection. 535 plant and 855 animal species are protected.

Among the protected flowers the most unique species are for example the Mediterranean-type fragrant hellebore ( Helleborus Odorus) in the Mecsek mountains, the pheasant's eye (Adonis Vernalis) and the sage (Salvia Nutans) on the great Hungarian plain. A typical Hungarian plant that we like very much is called Blessed Mary's slippers:Along the thousands of kilometers of Atlantic and Mediterranean coast, nature is generous. Discover for example the park at the mouth of the Souss and Massa wadis near Agadir, which form an ideal ecosystem to attract pink flamingoes, cranes and bald ibises… To the south of Sidi Ifni, the sublime white beach extends over 50km of pure beauty.

Even further south, Dakhla Bay hosts the last colony of monk seals in the world. Near the Mediterranean, the magnificent Rif nature reserve at the mouth of the Moulaya is also a paradise for birds.

As you approach the Atlas mountains, the landscape becomes greener, the air fresher. You will be surprised to be able to ski in winter while on the same day you can take a swim in Marrakech. Further south stands Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert, famous for its Kasbahs and ksour (fortified villages).

What kind of nature is typical for your region?

We live in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. One fifth of the Hungarian population live here. It means that Budapest is big and crowded with all the problems a modern metropolis has to face nowadays. The city is divided in two parts by the river Danube. There is a picturesque hilly side called Buda, and a busy flat part of the town called Pest. There are several parks in the city which make the city green. The biggest green territory is Margaret Island which can be approached from two bridges on the two sides.

Our school is in the city centre, in the 8th district. It is a crowded, dirty place, but many of the houses have recently been restored, so the area is developing. Some city rehabilitation programs have been launched and most of them were successful.

Yes, there are birds singing in our country in the morning. If you walked in nature hear many different types of birds singing. The nightingale is a songbird and makes a beautiful sound and even the Blackbird and lijsterd two beautiful songbirds but you should really go to nature to those voices. In a village or city that you hear not so fast.
