Austria, officially the Republic of Austria, is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The population is 8.47 million people. The official language is German. Other local official languages are Hungarian, Burgenland Croatian and Slovene. Austria is divided into nine states. The capital and the biggest city is Vienna.
Last year I went to Vienna with my family. We travelled six hours by train. We stayed there one week and went sightseeing. We saw the Schönbrunn Palace, the Natural History Museum, the Cathedral of St. Stefan, the Zoo, the Aquarium, Prater and other sights. There we ate Austrian’s popular food like Wiener Schnitzel. I didn`t speak English at that time.
I like this country, because the people are friendly and Vienna is really a beautiful city.

One of my favourite countries is Italy. It's in Southern Europe. The capital city is Rome. The population is 60 million people. The official language is Italian. The flag is green, white and red.
 I went to Italy one month ago. I went skiing to Kronplatz. I travelled by car. I went there with my family and some friends. We drove for more than five hours. We went skiing every day. The food there was delicious. I met new friends, but we didn't speak English. It was fun. Like every year there was a competition for the best sculpture made of snow. I liked the sculpture of Asterix and Obelix the most.
  We stayed there for a whole week and then went back to Slovenia, but stopped in Verona. There we went to see the colosseum and the house of Juliet Capulet.
  The road to Ljubljana was very long. We drove for more than seven hours. I love Italy, but I don't want to live there.

Brazil is in South America. The capital city of Brazil is Brasilia. The population of Brazil is about 199 million people. The official language there is Portuguese. The Brazilian flag is green, yellow, blue and white.
I went there in November 2009 and stayed for two weeks. I travelled by plane for 13 hours. I went to Brazil with my family. I visited Rio de Janeiro, Buzios and the largest city Sao Paulo. I learnt how to surf there. I ate lots of Brazilian food. I visited my three cousins there and my aunt and uncle. I spoke a little English in Brazil, because I was only eight.
I like this country, because of its lovely nature and I had a great time when I went there. I would love to live there, because I want to learn Portuguese and because a part of my family live there.
