AMERICAN CORNER: WINTER SPORTS
Our new year activity started with the American Corner.
Mike Luke from Minnesota was our guest.
He was talking about the winter sports with our readers.
During the discussion we find out that the climate in Minnesota is almost the same as in Covasna County. It's very cold, and the favorite sport is hockey.
I was very happy that our students were talking in a very good English, even if the topic was so special, like winter sports.
