CZECH REPUBLIC
The czech republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west and north-west, Austria to the south,Slovakia to the east and Poland to the north-east. Prague is the capital and largest city, with 1.3 million residents. The Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia and Moravia, and Czech Silesia.
CLIMATE
The Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate,
with warm summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature
difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the
landlocked geographical position.
Within the Czech Republic, temperatures vary greatly, depending on
the elevation. In general, at higher altitudes, the temperatures
decrease and precipitation increases. The wettest area in the Czech Republic is found around Bílý Potov in Jizera Mountains and the driest region is the Louny District to the northwest of Prague. Another important factor is the distribution of the mountains; therefore, the climate is quite varied.

DENMARK How are you bros? I hope you are all right! I'm here to show you some interesting things about Denmark. ARE YOU READY?? (Not for people with heart problems). Let's go.
Denmark has a number of characteristics
that distinguish it from its northern European neighbours. Did you know that
Denmark has 406 islands and 7314 km of coastline, that Denmark ranks number 133
on the list of world countries in terms of size, and that the highest point in
the country is only 170 metres above sea level? Or that the average wind speed
is 7.6 metres per second, which explains why Denmark is one of the world's
largest exporters of wind turbines?
It's AWESOME.
Denmark has around 5.584.758 inhabitants in a área of 43.098 square km. Its population density is about 129.58 inhabitants per square kilometre. In this country life expectancy is around 81.62 years in women and 77.3 in men.
Food in Denmark is influenced in French meals and also by Italian chefs. Food there, is based on fish, seafood and meat. This country is also known by its cheese because it is exported to lots of different countries. The 60% of all Denmark's cheese is exported.
Danablu cheese
There are also some important football players that play in Dinamarca but are in their differents teams, for example:
Now I'm going to talk about some customs of denmark people:
Greetings (saludos) are casual, with a firm handshake, direct eye contact, and a smile. They shake hands with women first and Danes people tend to introduce themselves with their first names (nombre de pila)
They are also very careful with presents:
-If you are going to make a present there, you must choose a red wrapping paper (papel de regalo rojo) because they think it's a good choice.
-If you give some flowers to some girl or boy they should be wrapped(envueltas)
-And the last one, when you receive a present you must open it at the moment. It's a sign of education there.
The last one, if you are invited to a dinner in Denmark you should make the following steps:
-You must arrive on time. They are very punctual in both, business and social situations.
-You should remove your shoes before entering in the house.
-You should help them with the preparation or cleaning up the table when the dinner finish.
-And of course, DO NOT discuss about business.
Here you have a video with more information about Denmark.
Now some questions =P
1-Who is the head of the state?
2-What form of state do they have?
3-What is the name of the sport that you see in the video in the minute 2:20?
