Characteristic features of the Czech republic

There are about 10 million inhabitants in the Czech republic. Typical Czech dance is polka and waltz. Czech people are keen on listening to music, too: dance, hip hop, electro – house, metal, trash metal, rock, pop etc. Czech people go to the theatres to see a play very often. Czech nation has famous National Theatre in Prague. Prague is the capital and is the largest, about one million people live there.

Music in my life

For me there is only one thing to do when I've got a lot of homework, bad marks or too many activities. I listen to music. Last year I started to prefer harder music like hard rock and metal.  This is because I am playing the drums and metal music has the best drum solos. In a lot of songs we can hear impossible drum compilations and many styles of drumming.
The main bands that I am listening to are As I Lay Dying, Slipknot, and System of a Down.  I also used to listen to Linkin Park, but they have changed their style of playing and now I don't like it very much.
I also changed my look to fit my interest in this sort of music because sometimes I go to metal-bars and there everyone wears black leather. It's not only because of the people, but also because I like this look.
In the Czech Republic there are a lot of metal concerts and festivals. One of them was Sound of Darkness in Prague, and the ticket cost about 800 crowns.
I also like summer festivals like Masters of Rock and Colours of Ostrava. Czechs don't have many metal bands, so I listen to bands from other countries, mostly from Finland and America.
Many young people don't like metal, because they think that it is just screaming and nothing else. I think these people only hear the screaming, and do listen to the other elements of the music which are really beautiful.
I hope that more people will understand my delight and they will stop sending me away for my love of metal music.

COMENIUS Schulpartnerschaft - Austausch Herbst 2011


Der dritte Schüleraustausch im Rahmen des aktuellen Programms ist für 23. bis 29. Oktober 2011 geplant. Treffpunkt ist diesmal Cefalù, Italien.

We intend to continue our joint effort of creating a multilingual dictionary (Czech, English, German, and Italian) with audio support. Users will be able to have a word spoken to them while browsing the dictionary. By using multi-media features like this, we hope to enhance the usability and benefits of conventional dictionaries.
