HUNGARYHUNGARY

We live in Hungary, in the middle of Europe. This is a small country, but there are rules and

symbols, and very tasty foods here.

Foods: gulash soup is a typical Hungarian dish. It’s very fatty. There are many vegetables and meats in it. - stuffed cabbage with sour

cream- hot pot dishes

Weather: Hungary is in the continental climate, and has a rather low rainfall. In winter there is

snow everywhere and the temperature falls under zero. It is dangerous to drive in this season,

because the roads are slippery. Spring is the most rainy season, but the temperature is getting warm. There is smell of flowers everywhere

because the nature awakes. The summer is hot and the rain is not common but there are very big rains in this year. Autumn is colourful. Leaves on

the trees are becoming red, brown and yellow. You can harvest fruits for example apples and grapes. School children aren’t very keen on this season

because they have to say goodbye to the summer holiday.

Sports: we are good at water sports. Our water polo team is the best in the world. We are good at

swimming. We are good at handball, kayak, canoeing and pentathlon. We are getting better

and better in football.

Interesting facts: Budapest is the capital of Hungary. The 8th most populous country in the EU. There are three parts of this city: Óbuda, Buda and Pest. This is world

city from the 20th century. There are many famous sight here. For example:

Andrássy street: the street is named after Andrássy Gyula, who was a President. This is a 2310 meters long

Bihar country.Pécs: the capital of culture. Hundred of years ago Turkish were the owner of Pécs. The Dzsámi and the Minarett are in the centre of Pécs and these

old buildings remind us the Turkish times.

Greetings: Hungarian men shake hands, every time they meet, women just first time. In the

school friends usually give a hug or kisses each other. We always say Good morning or

Good afternoon at that time of the day. Hungarians are very welcoming and

hospitable, we think many of them are helpful and kind.

Rubik cube: this is a logical toy. Actually this is a colorful cube, and you can make it well, when you

put the same colours to the same side.

Szent-Györgyi Albert invented the C-vitamin. Semmelveis Ignác discovered one of the most important thing in the medical science. He said

people had to wash hands between two operation, that’s why people called him the “Mothers’

saving”.
