Host familiy

If my family were a host family we would be very hospitable.  We live in a small village named Dorfstetten. We are five persons in my family, my father, my mum, my sister, my grandma and I.
My mum has got a big garden with lots of fruits and vegetables. She often cooks healthy meals. 
My family often make day trips.We practice different sports like archery. My parents like hiking, too. In summertime we want to go with our guests to a lake, where we can go swimming. Near our hometown you can go indoor climbing, too. It can be a great experience to get to know exchange students with an different culture. They can talk in an other language about their country and their life-white. So my sister and I can make new friends in our old.

St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday there was the St. Patrick's Day in Irland.
Patrick is the patron of Irland. He was born in Britain 387. He studied to become a priest and later to be a bishop. He told people about god and showed them shamrocks for the trinity of god. He died with 46 year on the 17th March where he built his first church.

On the 17th March the people in Irland celebrate Patrick. They wear green clothes and make parades.
The first parade was in New York City 1762. The traditional food are corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and soda bread. If you catch a leprechaun, it is a symbol for luck and you get his gold.

   

Archery

For centuries archery was necessary for survive. Nowadays it is a trendy sport.

For equipment you need an arc, a bracer, a simmer and some arrows.

Archery is an outdoor sport. For that there are different kinds of parkours, for example 3-D-Animal-Pakours or Target shooting. Archery is independent on seasons. Everybody who is interested in it can do it. For nature interested people it is an adventure to see animals in the wood. It is a healthy sport in the fresh air and you become fit. You can do this sport for competition or just for fun.

The most important thing is that nobody is standing in the danger zone. That means you must not stand in front of the archer. The equipment mustn't be damaged. You have to search for worn out arrows.

For the 3-D-Animal-Parkour you have to follow to some facts: Mostly there are three difficulties, one for beginners, one for experienced and one for specialists. For every target shooting there are three arrows available. If you hit the first arrow in kill you get 20 points, if you only hit the body of the animal you get 16 points...)

For the Target shooting you need some other rules: You can train on fields or in the hall for competitions. There are different age groups, where you can take part, from students to seniors. The distance is different from 19 metres to 90 metres. The further you hit the middle, the more points you reach.

I did archery the first time when I was eight years old. In my hometown Dorfstetten there is a very famous animal-parkour. It’s a big areal in the wood which is 14 hectares. I like the hobby because I can meet friends and have fun outdoor.
