ANIMALS IN AUSTRALIA

In Australia there are a lot of animals, but the most common ones are koala, kangaroo and the tasmanian devil. Koalas live on trees and they are very quiet, they don´t run. They can climb up trees, walls, pilards, they are very agile. They eat leaves and they sleep twenty hours a day.

The kangaroo is a very strong animal, he uses the tail ti sit down; and they have a bag for babies, like koalas. The babies are there until they are ready to survive out. They eat grass and plants. They spend six hours a day eating. They can´t walk well because their feet are too big; but they are really good at jumping.

The tasmanian devil looks like a teddy bear but it is really like a "devil". They smell very bad and they shout a lot. They only eat meat and and their teeth are very hard. They swim very well.

CHRISTMAS IN FINLAND

Christmas time is very different depending on the country. Each country has got its own traditions. In Finland people put a tree in their houses, but they don´t put balls on it, they put many different flags as symbol of Peace.

At Christmas Eve people go to the sauna. It is a tradition and later they go to the cemeteries to light a candle. They have dinner together and children wait for Joulupukki, that is Santa´s name in Finland. Children wear gnomos that night and they sing. Santa comes and tells them a story about their trip and give them presents. While havig dinner they ask for peace, love and good luck for everybody.

At Christmas day the whole family gives a walk in sled. They enjoy it a lot, they love Christmas time!!!
