Traffic problems - by Peter

We live in a village, and the only traffic problems we know are the farmers with their tractors and harvesters. They are too slow, so when we drive fast by car, we sometimes must brake extremely because a tractor stands in the middle of the street. Since January, in the cities, for example in Hanover, there are areas where it is forbidden to drive into by car. Unless you have a sticker on your windshield in red, yellow or green. It says how clean the engine of your car is. It's because of smog. So they told us. I think it's because the country needs money.
Since the introduction of these stickers we have had no problems with smog. The big problem everybody thinks is a traffic problem, is the industry, mainly in the USA.

Emperor Daniel I - by Daniel

I read an article with Daniel about micro-states in Australia and we discussed the different constitutions that exist. Then I told him to write about making his own village independent:

If I made my village an independent state, I would call it "The Empire of ..." and its constitutional status would be that of an Empire. If I made it an empire, I would be "Emperor Daniel I", of course. The reasons for turning a village into an independent state can be: freedom for all people and independence. In order to raise money, the citizens would have to pay taxes or sell their goods. A certain percentage of the money would go to the Empire.

Finally holidays - by Justine

Next week the holidays begin. I am happy about it, but I don't go anywhere. I would like to go to England, but my parents want to work in the garden.
I will enjoy being free from school.
