My hometown - 7a

Schülerinnen und Schüler der Klasse 7a haben im Schuljahr 2017/18 ihre Heimatstadt mit ihren Vor- und Nachteilen beschrieben:

My hometown Schwetzingen

I live in Schwetzingen (Germany). The best thing in our town is the library, because I love to read books.

Schwetzingen is also famous for its old castle. It‘s a big castle that was built for the the electors Karl Philipp and Karl Theodor. A lot of tourists visit the castle every year. For me the castle is nothing special anymore. But my grandma Lola loved it when she came to visit me from the US. It has a beautiful garden with lots of flowers.

I especially love the cinema in our town. They have very good popcorn.YUMMY! The last movie I watched at the cinema was LOVE SIMON. I read the book before and I loved the movie just as much as the book.

Also the „Bellamar“ is nice. It‘s a big aqua fun park. A lot of kids spend time there in the summer time. The Bellamar has some very cool slides. All the Kids love it. Sometimes even my mom goes on the slide with me. Sometimes there are too many people visiting at the the same time. Then I don’t like it there.

Schwetzingen also has a train station. That‘s good, because my mom and me love to go shopping in Mannheim.

The downside about Schwetzingen is that I live far away from my grandma.

My hometown Oftersheim

My name is Yara and I live in Oftersheim. Oftersheim is a small town near to Schwetzingen. The upside is that Oftersheim is near the forest. In the forest there are lot of animals like wild pigs, deer and a donkey. Also, there is a place for barbecue. In my town there are many sports fields. There my training in athletics takes place. In Oftersheim are many restaurants and playgrounds. The downsides in Oftersheim are that there isn´t a swimming pool, there isn´t a cinema and there aren´t any cafes. But in Schwetzingen there are some shops, a cinema, cafes, a public swimming pool and my ballet-school. I especially love the palace garden in Schwetzingen and the square with lots of cafes. It only takes 5 minutes to ride with my bike to Schwetzingen.

My Hometown Plankstadt

I live in Plankstadt, Germany. It’s really close to Schwetzingen. Plankstadt is special to me because my whole family, including my great grandparents, lived in Plankstadt as well. And I get to see my family, aunt, uncle, and my cousins. I don’t think there are any downsides because I get to go hunting, fishing, and other fun things with my grandpa. I can go help my grandma a lot with things around the house. I think Plankstadt is good because I know my way around, that is the best part of living here in Plankstadt, and I get to see family I usually don’t get to see often. I don’t think I would want to live in another town or city.

My hometown Oftersheim

Hello, my name is Amanda.

Today I would like to tell you about where I live. I live in a small town called Oftersheim. In Oftersheim there live about 12000 people. The best thing about our town is that there is a big forest and a lot of fields. In the fields I go for a walk with my dog. I really feel home here, because we have a nice house with a garden and it´s quite here. It´s a great place for children, because there are lots of playgrounds. We have an ice-cream-shop and good restaurants and supermarkets. In Oftersheim there is a gym. The downside is that we don´t have a swimming pool. If you like to live in a small town, Oftersheim is brilliant.

My hometown Oftersheim

I live in Oftersheim in a nice house in the new building area. Oftersheim is a small town in Baden-Württemberg. 12000 people live here. The most of them are friendly. We have a big forest with a great enclosure with wild boars and an enclosure with deers. You can go for a long walk in this forest. We also have lots of clubs where you can dance, play football, play tennis or handball, make athletics and much more. And we have great restaurants in Oftersheim. For example the greek restaurant Artemis. Unfortunately we don’t have a swimming pool or a cinema. To do that, we must go to our neighbourtown Schwetzingen. Nonetheles Oftersheim is a great town and I’m happy to live here.

My hometown Plankstadt

I live in Plankstadt. This is great, because we can make good biketours at the field and we have good inline skate tours. There are a lot of fields nearby. The people are very friendly in Plankstadt. They are no tourists, only local people, because Plankstadt is a small village. The market is every Thursday with only food.

We have a Birdpark and a lot of playgrounds. We don’t have a higschool or a college. Plankstadt has two primary schools. The first is the Friedrichschool and the second is the Humboldschool. On the sportsground you can do very good sports at the summer, because it´s outside. For example we can do dancing, play foodball, athletics and gymnastics.

It´s close to the cities Mannheim and Heidelberg . We have one ice cream parlor, but that is expensive.  Plankstadt is very nice- I like to live in Plankstadt!
