First of all, congratulations to beeing one of the best football nations in Europe! Great work beating big, big Russia! What stars do you have in the Slovenian team? Do you have any good Slovenian clubs or are most of the players professional players abroad?In which clubs?
We are a bit disapponted here in Sweden, not reaching the World Championship in South Africa. But it is just to face the facts,the Swedish team wasn´t good enough this time.
In the class we have discussed what we are proud of and here is what the pupils said:
We are proud of our good skiers, Robert in our class and Anja Person and Jon Olsson, who make great results in the World Cup.
Even cross country skiers as Charlotte Kallas makes us proud.
Mats Sundin and Foppa Forsberg are hockeyplayers who make us proud, and some times we can be proud of the Swedish hockeyteam as well.
And of course our famous players Henrik Larsson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic make us proud.
Many good films are made in Sweden, and Mauricio mentioned his favourite Stig-Helmer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmp9cmDV59E
Astrid Lindgren, the famous author, has written books as Pippi Longstocking and Ronja. Have you read any of her books? She was a great story teller, and we are very proud that she came from Sweden.
Quite a lot of good musicians come from Sweden. We suppose that many of you know ABBA, and the film " Mama Mia".
Alexander Skarsgård and his father Stellan Skarsgård are two famous actors. You can see Alexander in "True blood" - and Stellan you can see in "Mama Mia".
Björn Borg is almost as old as the teacher of the class, ( she is 56) but the pupils still remember him and feel proud about the world´s best tennis player in the late seventies.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteThank you for congratz. You did excellent with your answer.
Here are some of our replies...
The Slovenia's football stars:
Samir Handanovič plays in Udineze in Italy. Now Juventus, Milan and Manchester want to buy him. His price is high now. Robert Koren, captain, plays at West bromich in 1. English Premiere League, Milivoje Novaković in Bundesliga (1. German league)... Zlatko Dedič is very famous now, and a lot of clubs are interested to have him in their club. As you see most play abroad. In Slovenia is one good club FC Maribor.
We are sorry because your team will not be in South Africa. But don't worry it will be better next time.
Many in Slovenia know Astrid Lindgren. When we were young we liked her stories. Lots of students read her books and we watched lot of her films. We think Astrid's best book is Pika Nogavička (Pippi Longstocking).
Tadeja, Ivana, Miha, Zen, Davor
It's great that you wrote about the famous Swedish, because half of my students knew only few or almost none. It surprised me that some thought Abba was American.
