1.2. Did the project meet your expectations? Please explain. T) I was happy with this project. During the project, my children looked up Slovakia in an encyclopedia and they tried to find Slovakian national flag among many flags displayed in the classroom.

Every Monday, I was busy with my children asking for their messages from their friends. They followed me to the washroom. They seemed very happy during the project.
1.3. What do you think is the most important benefit of the project for your pupils? T) My children have been more interested in English. They were very active during English classes.

Topic : Famous food (From Slovakia to Korea)
Hello, boys and girls from Korea!
Here are your friends from Slovakia. We write this letter together. The topic is Our famous food. Thanks for a few letters about food. The food in Korea is different from Slovak food but we would like to taste it somtimes. Slovak national dish is called Liptauer cheese or Cottage cheese. In Slovak this meal is called BRYNDZOVE HALUSKY. It consists from noodles made of dough of potatoes and flour with " bryndza" . The meal is poured with lard. Bryndza is a slovak expression for a milk product from sheep. It is similar like cheese or curd but it has typical flavour. When you arrived at Slovakia we must taste Liptauer cheese! We have our lunch around noon, which is warm and consist of some soup, a main dish and vegetable salad or dessert or stewed fruit. We like to eat various kinds of vegetable soup : potato , tomato, pea, bean, carrot, parsley, celery, mushrooms. The meat soups are also popular. We eat beef , tripe, chicken, hen or goulash soup. As the main dish we have some meat / chops or steak/ or fish or poultry. We combinate meat with potatoes, rice or chips. Slovak people eat a lot of meat, especially pork. The main fish cooked in Slovakia are carp and trout. We combinate often meat with potatoes- - boiled, mashed roasted or with chips or rice. While cooking we may add various spices so that the meal will have a unique flavour - e.g. garlic, salt , pepper, red pepper, marjoram, clove, ketchup, onions, cinnamon, soya, sauce, worchester, vinegar, mustard, sugar. Slovak people like eating : Liptauer cheese Strawberry or plum dumplings with cream Pancakes with jam and cream and chocolate Baked yeast dumplings, Roasted pork and sauerkraut and dumplings Roasted sirloin beef in sour cream sauce and dumplings Potatoe pancakes with marjoram Fried cheese with chips or roasted potatoes Pork steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables Goulash
