I love my country, I love everything about it, our music, our holidays our national costumes. Everything is unique even our musical instruments. Our Ancestors didn't copy anything from others what makes it to be more interesting. I love Ukrainian food I think it's the best food in the world. In my opinion my country is really interesting because our culture is different than anybody else's. I think everybody who's interesting in visiting Ukraine will like it too.

I am Russian, but I was born and raised in Estonia. Russian people are very emotional, and the Estonians have a calm nature, because they are the people of the north.I like the Estonian culture, but the Russian culture more interesting for me. I know about the Russian culture is very much because I like to read Russian classical literature. I think that the Russian writer Dostoevsky is known in many countries. This writer called a "connoisseur of human souls." Russia is a country with a large and interesting history. It is a country with a very rich cultural traditions. I really like the Russian folk crafts, and Russian art and Russian folk music.

Every country has its own special culture that the passing years create and every one is used to it believes in it. They think that they have the best culture, but every country has some good and bad points. The thing in my country, which is my favorite, is the treatment of children. Most Persians never spoil their children. They are very sensitive about their children’s behavior in the community. They teach them how to behave, what not to do, what activity is suitable for what place and above all that they have to respect everyone that is older than them. In my country, children don’t leave home after they are 18 years old. Usually, they live with their parents until they get married. Of course it depends on the children, if they want, they can leave home, but usually they don’t.

I think the interesting thing about my culture is the cuisine, traditional events, such as carnivals, fairs and parades. Also the arts, folk music and dance. I have a general knowledge about my culture. People visit Honduras for tourism, business and volunteer work. They think that country has beautiful beaches, dive sites and also ecological and archaeological sites. What surprised me when I met people from other countries is their food, traditions, language, etc. I like the food and all the traditional events of my country. Now some people have revamped the dress for some typical dances. I prefer the old traditional dress. In Honduras live a significant Arabs and East Asian Community and Also people from Central America y South America. One day I was talking to someone who was from another country, about religion and we end up arguing and upset.

I love my country. I have enough information to pass on to their children. Such as folk songs, traditions, holidays, writers ... Russian love to celebrate, they use every opportunity to come up with a new reason to celebrate and entertain their colleagues - whether it's a birthday or a wedding, or moving up the career ladder. Cakes, sweets, sandwiches are always held in high esteem! Hospitality plays an important role in the Russian mentality and national character, so becoming a friend of the Russian people, you will have an opportunity to assess the unique feature of the so-called "deep Russian soul." These are just some examples. I am surprised that foreign people think of Russian only that they walk with their hats on - ear flaps with a balalaika and vodka ((( In my culture as well as in any other, there are people good and bad.

I love my coulture, because i think it is very special. In my oppinion be part of the mexican culture is a unique feeling that only a real mexican can explian.The music and food are the perfect example on how good my culture is. For instance, most of the food is spacy and has to have salsa on it .Another thing is the people from the same culture that i have constantly tend to be so frendly and helpful.We are people that never give up on what we want.The values that we have is another thing that make us different,and it is what make me feel proud of my mexican culture.

My culture have many interesting thinks. The most important celebration is Day of the dead. I don’t know too much but the most important. The people think we are celebrate the devil but is not trued. Families and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. We celebrate cooked their special meal and visited them at the graveyard. The people bring flowers some ones stained all night and talked about the person who passed way. In my culture is normal and polite when your talk to someone as long as you speak with respect. I was very surprised when another countries the people talk loudly as it they send you. I like how respectful we are and open to new changes without losing our origins. The young people behave differently for older people because before people unfortunately have no education and ignorance did not help much now young people are more ready and willing to new things unfortunately with those changes also lose our roots and values that they want to look or that the world will accept. In my country there are many cultures for example China. Each in its own way tries to save some of their traditions and cultures. In My Country I don’t have any friend’s whit a different culture but here in United States I have only some. No I never been confused by other cultures is good to know and most importantly respect their beliefs.

There are many different cultures in my country. It means every state has its own culture. Of course there are a lot of common things between them. Iranian people are very kindly and friendly. They really like the guest. Even they may change off days or work schedules for that. They believe spending time with other people make them so happy. Sometimes I saw this behavior was impossible to believe for someone from other country. Unfortunately nowadays the young people like spend their time alone. I like my culture country about every things.

The Cyrus Cylinder (Persian: منشور کوروش) is an ancient clay cylinder, now broken into several fragments, on which is written a declaration in Akkadian cuneiform script[3] in the name of the Achaemenid king Cyrus the Great.[4] It dates from the 6th century BC and was discovered in the ruins of Babylon in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in 1879.[3] It is currently in the possession of the British Museum, which sponsored the expedition that discovered the cylinder. It was created and used as a foundation deposit following the Persian conquest of Babylon in 539 BC, when the Neo-Babylonian Empire was invaded by Cyrus and incorporated into his Persian Empire. My people in my country very friendly and nice they help you and care about your feel ,in my country, you want help and stay in street , people see you in street they help you and care about your problem .

Ukrainians can seem a little more reserved at first. Foreigners tend to scare the lack of smiling faces around. This is true. Ukrainian daily life is unpredictable and unstable, and this is probably the reason why people are so rarely smile on the street or on public transport.

Magazines must be school-appropriate. News, sports, home/garden, children/family, and some entertainment and fashion magazines will work well for our assignment.
