The country that I researched is FInland. Finland is located in the continent of Europe. Finland is pretty similar to America with their religious beliefs and school systems. I find Finland to be pretty cool since it has one of the best school systems in the world even though it is one of the smaller countries.
The leader of Finland is Sauli Niinistö. Unlike America, the leader can be re-elected any number of times which means they can be elected for more than 2 terms. The prime minister's name is Juha Sipilä who is the head of government. In 2000, they made a new constitution that replaces the old one guaranteeing everyone the freedom of speech, religion and equality.
The holidays in Finland are pretty similar to the ones we have here. 78% of people in Finland are Lutheran which is a kind of Christian/Catherine. Because of this, most people celebrate Christmas and Easter.
The food in Finland comes from many cultures. Some include Russian and French. Some popular food in Finland include Potatoes and Cheeses. They also have something called a smorgasbord which contains a variety of hot and cold meats and salads. I think it's cool how their food is from all different places and they have a lot of diversity.
You did a really good job presenting. I thought the paragraph about government was cool because the leader can serve as many terms as elected
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your presentation and learning about the different traits in Finland. Love the information you were able to share about their education-specifically the trade schools versus college prep. Well done!
ReplyDeleteyou did a very good presentation. I really enjoyed it. You definitely knew all the facts and information. You didn't need to even really look at your note cards that much. I learned a lot about Finland and it seems like a really cool country to leanr about.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool how Finland only just changed it constitution. Just like my country, Egypt, Finland has a majority of its citizens that are one religion. In Finland, it is Christian/Catherine, and in Egypt, it is Arab.
ReplyDeleteI thought you presented very good and fluent. Also I found it interesting that You can be president in Finland for an unlimited amount of terms while in other countries it is limited.
ReplyDeleteYou had a really good presentation. Both of our countries have presidents and Prime ministers. I also found it interesting that your country has a fairly new constitution.
ReplyDeleteYou had a really good blog. Both of our countries have a president and a prime minister and the president has a unlimited amount of terms.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog; it was really good. Israel and Finland don't really have anything in common especially with religion because Israel is mostly Jewish.
ReplyDeleteYou did well on your presentation and I learned about your country.
ReplyDeleteThere isnt a lot in common with your country and mine but I really liked your presentation
