The first blog writing assignment for my students was to write about what the weather's been like in Hungary, and how the weather makes them feel. (They wrote about last week's weather.) I have chosen two of the best writings to post on this blog, and here they are:
"I got woken up today by the sun shining into my room. It was such a beautiful spring day. The birds were singing next to my window and everything was alive. I got up, put on my clothes, and I felt so happy and strong. While I was going to school, I thought I can do everything today, because it is so fantastic when the weather is sunny, clear, and bright. On the streets, everybody smiled and enjoyed life. There was an amazing atmosphere. Unfortunately, a few hours later, the sky lowered and it started to rain. Everyone became reserved and sad again."

"I got up at 7:00 today, because I went to Siofok by bus. The morning was chilly and sunny and fortunately below zero [degrees Celsius], because I took my ice-skates. I had good times on the bus; I listened to music and the winter sunshine made me happy. The ice on [Lake] Balaton was great. I think it was the last ice-skating this year, because now it is the end of winter and tomorrow the weather will get warmer, according to the weather forecast. Despite this fact, I am really delighted because spring is my favourite season of the year."

Great job, Zsuzsi and Dini! Thanks for sharing with us. The weather here in St. Louis is similar to yours right now, with spring trying to break through the winter clouds and storms that are still coming. My wife, Kari, and I hope that it comes quick, because we are from southern California, and Miss Cusson can tell you that we are not used to it being this cold!
