Western Germany!


Germany is in Central Europe. It stretches over 357,021 square kilometers of forest and farm lands. With the population of around 82,060,000. Although Germany is across the world from Canada the temperature and people are almost identical but the schooling is a little different, let me explain. In Germany children are expected to try their hardest in school and be successful. By the age of eight,nine, or ten the children are tested to see how intelligent they are then placed into different levels of school. There are three types of schools; the Gymnasium for gifted children, Reachule for the average student, and the Hauptschule for the children who need extra help with their education. This schooling system is extremely different than ours because all children here are treated as equals. Winters are mild and summers tend to be cool, Although the maximum temperatures can exceed 30 degrees in the summer. The people of Germany love to have a good time, after school and work they enjoy to go see movies in the theater and go bowling. I hope you have learned lots about Western Germany!!! :-)
