cultures from different places put into a little place all together that I could almost say we are a huge city not a country. I would not leave here, but if I had an opportunity to choose which country I would like to visit, I definitely would choose Australia. But why Australia? Australia is located in the Pacific ocean and it's sixth country in the world for it's size. This country doesn't have an official language, but it's national language is English. Australia has much lakes and rivers and climate is dampish and warm. I´ve reasearched and also heard that Australia is a pretty safe country and especially good for beach life, partying, relaxing with friendly locals, wide-open spaces, long self-drive trips and fun city life, though a bit short of arts and culture. It's also a popular holiday work destination. It is said that if you have chance to stay In Australia and you want to study here, then don`t think anything just move to Australia and start a new life

There are thousands of miles of coastline with beaches, fjords and wild rivers flowing to the oceans. Canada is a country of wide open spaces and beautiful landscape where traveling visitors can unexpectedly bump into wild animals like bears or be struck by unusual sight like the scarecrows on the Cabot Trail. Canada is rich in natural wonders, one of them, the Niagara Falls between lakes Erie and Ontario, which is the second biggest waterfall in the world is one of the greatest attractions in the world
They lay eggs like birds and feed their young with milk as mammals do.They form a link between birds and mammals. The platypus or the duck-bill is one of them.The female lays two eggs in a nest of leaves and grass at the end of a burrow in a river bank. When the young come out of the eggs , they start eating the milk that comes through the mother's stomach skin.The platypus is a good swimmer and gets its food mainly from the river.It has a strong tail. It lives in the rivers of East Australia mostly. The echidna or a spiny ant-eater is the other egg-laying mammal that lives in Australia.It feeds on termites using its long, trunk-like nose to get them. In the seas and rivers of northern Australia you can find crocodiles that are five or six metres long. There are more than eight hundred kinds of birds in Australia. The emu, which is two metres tall, is the second largest bird in the world.It cannot fly at all, but it can run at fifty kilometres an hour

Its western coast is washed by Pacific Ocean and its eastern coast by the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The continental United States is bounded to the North by Canada and to the South by Mexico. There are two mountain ranges in the continental United States: the Appalachians in the east and the Rockies in the west. In the very middle of the continent is the Mississippi river. The five Great lakes, between the U.S.A. and Canada, are joined together by short rivers or canals. They are connected with the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River, and with the Hudson River by a canal. In the west of the U.S.A. there is another big lake called the Great Salt Lake. Hawaii, a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean, has a tropical climate. Alaska is separated from the continental US by Canada.

The only state owned fish farm in Estonia is Põlula Fish Rearing Center, which is situated in Northern Estonia, near Rakvere. It was built 1995-1998 in place of 100 years old trout farm using spring water. Its main task is production of salmon juveniles for stocking into the rivers, flowing into the Gulf of Finland. Salmon is endangered and rare species in Estonia due to loss of of spawning sites after dam construction on the rivers and also because of overfishing. The production capacity is 100 000 2-year old or 75 000 1- year old salmon. 1997-1999 370 th. salmon juveniles have been released. Being the newest and the best equipped fish cultivation unit in Estonia Põlula Center serves also as a base for education and research.

High population density, intensive agricultural production and other human activities have caused this high level pollution of the Baltic Sea. The shipment of crude oil has grown from 45 million tons to 175 million tons and this only by 10 years. Its condition is a challenge for the nine coastal states and their populations - there are 90 million people living in this catchment area. [1] The sources of marine pollution are municipal and industrial waste inputs directly into the sea or rivers, and atmospheric inputs mainly from traffic and farming. Originating from cellulose producing and from paper mills, large amounts of poisonous chlorinated compounds are polluting the coastal waters of Sweden and Finland. Most of this material is still present in sediments of the central Baltic Sea and can be terminated by near bottom currents. [2] Unsustainable factory farming made the Baltic Sea one of the world's most polluted seas

The two famous Midlands cities are StratforduponAvon and Oxford. Stratford is the birthplace of William Shakespeare and Oxford is famous for its university. The North of England has some of the wildest and loneliest parts in the country. Here you can find deep valleys, rivers and waterfalls, hills and mountains. This part of the country is rich in coal. The main attractions of the North of England are certainly the Lake District, the cities of York and NewcastleuponTyne.
Litter is a problem throughout the country, particularly in urban areas and in the more populated areas of Kiev, Kharkov, Donetsk and others. People litter on the banks of the rivers, in parks, in the streets. A lack of bins is not a major factor in littering. Sometimes you can see the bin in the street, and a pile of litter half a meter away from it. The main reason of littering is behaviour. The more litter people see on the street the more inclined to litter. For example, cinema complexes, football ground and theatres are cleaned up but such areas as parks and streets are neglected. But people don't think that litter can be dangerous

We are all a part of the environment that surrounds us. Unfortunately, people do not always know how to take care of the things that are vital to our survivor but what we take for granted such as water, air and forests products. However, things have improved in recent years. What has been done to improve the environment in Estonia? People today are too lazy to think or to do something to protect the environment. They dump their waste into forests and even rivers which causes air and water pollution. Fortunately, people have come up with different organisations and events to help clean our envrionment. An annual event such as ,,Teeme ära!" motivates people to go out, spend time with friends and family and have fun while cleaning up the trash. This event first took place in 2008 and is now one of the biggest worldwide environmental events. Estonian Commission on Sustainable Development is one of the organisations that is

James Watt James Watt was born in Greenock on January 19 in 1736, the son of a ship's chandler. He worked in his father's shop and he developed an interest in trying to make things "work like clockwork". In his late teens he went to London to learn to be a "mathematical and philosophical instrument maker", and when he returned to Glasgow he got a job making instruments with Glasgow University, who gave him a place where to live and a workshop. In 1763 John Andreson asked him to repair an early steam engine he had bought. This early model, known as a Newcomen engine, was very unefective. The cylinder (where the piston was) had to be heated when steam was admitted, and then cooled again to condense the steam. This wasted a lot of time and fuel. Two years later, while walking through Glasgow Green, Watt hit upon the idea of condensing the steam in a separate place. This ...
