Giveaway Activity 4 - My favourite country!

It's time for our fourth giveaway activity!

For this activity, all I would like you to do is to name your favourite country and list 3 things about that country. These 3 things can be things you like about the country, or things that the country is famous for. I would also like you to add a fourth sentence on why you would like to visit there in the future.

Here is an example. This is my favourite country:

 

France

  

  1. France is a country located in the West of Europe.
  2. The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, the capital of France, and is one of the most famous landmarks in the world.
  3. France is associated with fantastic wine and cheese. My favourite wine is from the Bordeaux region.
  4. I would like to visit the city of Marseille, on the south coast of France. It is France's second city and has a rich and diverse history.

Now it's your turn! Write 4 sentences about your favourite country. Please include some of your favourite photos of the country too!

The rules of the giveaways are as follows:

1) You must be a member of FunkyEnglish.com.

2) You must have a profile picture.

3) You must be able to provide a valid address for the prize to be sent to.

4) This is just for fun! Each prize will be sent to a member selected at random who contributes to the activity, so the important thing is to take part!

 

Closing date for this giveaway is Monday October the 15th.

Thank you Simon!

I'll go first. :)

I have so many favourite countries! In fact I probably love them all. I'll choose a country I've never visited for this activity.

Japan

 

Mount Fuji in Japan!

 

1. Japan is a country in East Asia. The country is made up of many small islands.

2. I would love to eat local Japanese food. I really like sushi and I would like to see what it tastes like in Japan.

3. Mount Fuji is a famous Japanese attraction. It is a famous symbol from Japan and I'd love to take some photographs of it.

4. I would love to visit Tokyo! I want to see the famous city, try the delicious food and meet some Japanese people.

Japan is also a country that I love. The virtue of Japanese people is worth for us to learn. I really admire them through the way they help each other to pass over the disaster.

Japan is my dream country too!

I want to eat salmon sashimi in the country of origin. :)

That looks really yummy! I love getting Japanese food for lunch here in London, and would love to try it in Japan one day if I am lucky enough to go there.

Thank you for your response Jamie. Japan would be near the top of my list of countries I would love to visit!

My students in Thailand loved these characters too. Hello Kitty was especially popular!

I would pick Wales. 

1. Mountains, lakes and coast line hold lots of fantastic walks, climbs and rides.

2. Plenty of space,you can always avoid the crowds.

3. The weather is sometimes very nice.

It seems like you love the peaceful places- your home town, Belchamp Otten and also this. 

I think you have good memories there. :)

Thank you, Parapa, yes, I do like peaceful places. There was a time...but that is another story!
