Jessica and Her Pen Pals

Jessica got a wonderful present from her Aunt Georgia lastsummer. The present was a silver bracelet from Ireland, with Celticpatterns etched into it. Jessica’s Aunt Georgia gave her the newbracelet after returning from a trip to Europe. She told Jessicathe patterns in the silver were supposed to bring good luck.

Aunt Georgia had traveled all over Europe. After she came back,she spent hours telling Jessica and her family stories about hertravels, and showing them pictures

she had taken. Jessica thought France sounded like aninteresting place. She liked the pictures of Paris. She thought thestained glass windows in the Notre Dame cathedral were beautiful,and Aunt Georgia’s story about the prehistoric cave paintings inLascaux in France fascinated her. It was almost impossible for herto believe that the pictures in the cave were 17,000 years old!Jessica also liked the pictures of the city of Venice, in Italy,where the streets were made of

water, not pavement, and there were no cars, only boats. Everypicture her aunt showed her seemed strange and different fromJessica’s home in New Mexico, and Jessica decided right there tolearn all she could about Europe.

A few weeks later, school started. Jessica’s teacher beganteaching her class about the differences between North America,which included the United States and Canada, and Europe, acontinent across the Atlantic Ocean to the east, with a largevariety of languages and cultures. Europe is the second-smallestcontinent, after Australia, but is home to about 730 millionpeople, 11% of the world’s population. In addition to Russia, theworld’s largest country in terms of area, Europe is also home toVatican City and Monaco, the smallest countries in the world, witha combined area of less than one square mile. There were also manydifferences in geography, culture, language, and climate, bothbetween North America and Europe, and between the many Europeancountries themselves. That fascinated Jessica.

Jessica asked her teacher how she could find out more about kidsher age that lived in Europe. Her teacher told her about a groupcalled the “Pen Pals of Europe*.” It was a sort of long-distanceclub for kids, where everybody wrote letters to each other, fromEurope to America and from America to Europe. That was just whatJessica was looking for! She joined right away and sent letters toa boy or girl in eighteen different European countries, four orfive in each of the four regions of Europe. Pretty soon, shestarted receiving mail from European children her age …

(the letters are all on the following pages)

What a wonderful bunch of letters! Jessica wrote back to eachone of her new pen pals: Lidiya, Pavel, Agnieszka, Claudiu, Maarit,Jaagup, Jona, Cathal, Zlata, Estevao, Xanthia, Mauro, Maria, Klaus,Laura, Jules, Ute, and Laurent. And she started getting moreletters back from them. Soon, she had many new friends and waslearning more and more. Jessica wants to take a trip to Europe someday!

*note: Pen Pals of Europe is not a real group.

Dear Jessica, Hello from Bulgaria. My name is Lidiya. I live inthe city of Sofia, which is the capital of my country and thelargest city. In your letter, you wrote that you were interested inlearning about Europe. Bulgaria is in the south-east of Europe,between Turkey and Romania. We have nice beaches on the Black Sea,where my family likes to go on summer vacation. You asked ifBulgaria is still Communist. We were until 1990 (before I wasborn!), when democratic elections were first held. Bulgaria joinedthe EU at the beginning of 2007. My parents say life is much betternow. My father has a good job at a chemical company. I heard thatin America, you shake your head to say ‘no’ and nod to say ‘yes’.That sounds strange, is it true? Here in Bulgaria we do theopposite. Please write back. Regards, Lidiya.

Dear Jessica, Hi from the Czech Republic. My name is Pavel. Myfamily and I live only fifteen miles away from Prague, and both myparents work there. You asked if my country has beaches. Notreally, unless you count rivers and lakes, because the CzechRepublic is landlocked. We are located in the center of Europe,southeast of Germany and north of Austria. In 1989, the Communistgovernment was peacefully overthrown in the “Velvet Revolution”. Weused to be half of Czechoslovakia, but in 1993 the country splitinto the Czech Republic and Slovakia. People call it the “VelvetDivorce” because it was also peaceful. Summers are mild here, whichis good because I don’t like hot weather. I enjoy skiing in thewinter, when it usually snows a lot. What is it like in the winterwhere you live? Best wishes, Pavel

Dear Jessica, Dzień dobry from Poland! My name is Agnieszka. Iam a girl. Poland is easy to find on a map, it’s a big country eastof Germany and south of the Baltic Sea. I live in a small townoutside Warsaw, the capital. My father works for the government andmy mother is an artist. What do your parents do? I like to cook,and I want to have my own restaurant when I grow up. My favoritething to cook (or eat) are pierogi, which are dumplings with meat,cabbage, and other good things inside. If you come to Poland, Ipromise to cook some for you. You are right: Poland used to be aCommunist country, but that ended in 1989, a long time before I wasborn. We joined the EU in 2004. Please tell me more about yourself.Your pen friend, Agnieszka.

Dear Jessica, Hi from Claudiu in Romania. I live with my parentsand my sister in Bucharest, the capital. My hobby is playing theguitar and singing while I play. You asked me if we really havevampires in my country. I hope you were joking. Transylvania ispart of my country, but there are no such things as vampires. Atleast I have never seen one! Romania is in the south-east part ofEurope, between Ukraine and Bulgaria. We also share borders withHungary, Moldova, and Serbia. We have nice beaches on the BlackSea, where I enjoy swimming. Romania used to be a Communistcountry, from the end of WWII until 1989. We joined the EU in 2007,and now we can travel in Europe without passports. Watch out forvampires! Your pen friend, Claudiu.

Dear Jessica, This is Maarit in Finland. I am a girl. I live inHelsinki with my parents. My most important interest is music. JeanSibelius was a famous Finnish composer, but I prefer the rock bandThe Rasmus, have you heard of them? What can I tell you aboutFinland? It is a big country in the north of Europe between Swedenand Russia. It is cold and dark in the winter and the summer daysare long. We have thousands and thousands of lakes. We also havelots of cell phones – more per person than any other country. Doyou know Nokia cell phones? Nokia is a Finnish company. Finlandused to be poor, but now the economy is much better. We joined theEU in 1995. Please write me back and tell me about yourself. Whatbands do you like? Regards, Maarit.

Dear Jessica, Greetings from Estonia. My name is Jaagup. I am aboy. I live in Tallinn with my parents and two brothers. Tallinn,as you know, is the capital city of Estonia. Estonia lies on theBaltic Sea between Latvia and Russia. It is a small country, thesize of Switzerland, but with fewer people, only 1.5 millioninstead of 7.5 million as in Switzerland. That makes Estonia one ofthe most sparsely-populated countries in Europe. We gained ourindependence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and we joined the EU in2004. Some people say Estonians invented the Christmas tree,because the first Christmas tree recorded in history was put up inTallinn in 1441 at a Christmas party (it burned down at the end ofthe party!). Sincerely, Jaagup.

Dear Jessica, Hello! Ég heiti Jona. That is Icelandic for “Myname is Jona.” I am a girl. I live with my parents and two sistersnot far from Reykjavik. You asked me if I have ever seen the singerBjörk. I am sorry: although she is from Iceland I have never seenher. I like her music though. One thing I have seen a lot of inIceland are volcanoes and geysers. Also lots of ice: more than tenpercent of our country is covered by glaciers. Iceland is an islandin northern Europe. We are a small country with only about 300,000people. We are in the Atlantic Ocean between Greenland and Europe.Did you know that Iceland has the oldest parliament in the world?It is called the Althing and was founded in 930. That is more than500 years before Columbus sailed to the Americas! Sincerely,Jona.

Dear Jessica, Greetings from Ireland. My name is Cathal. I’m aboy, by the way. I’ve got two sisters and one brother and we alllive with our parents in Galway, which is on the west coast acrossthe country from Dublin, the capital. Galway is in the Gaeltacht,which is part of western Ireland where people still speak Irish.Most people learn Irish in school, but English is the firstlanguage for most of us now. What can I tell you about Ireland? Itis an island west of Great Britain. You asked if there is fightingin Northern Ireland, which still belongs to Great Britain. I amhappy to report that things are mostly peaceful there now. Myfavorite thing to do is play Irish rules football, which is similarto what you call soccer. I also like computers. What are yourhobbies? Cheers, Cathal.

Dear Jessica, This is Zlata writing from Croatia. Like you, I ama girl. Croatia is a country in southern Europe. You mentioned thewar: we used to be part of a country called Yugoslavia, but wedeclared independence in 1991 and fighting began because otherparts of the country didn’t want us to leave. The war lasted aboutfour years. I am glad it is peaceful now. Croatia is a beautifulcountry. We have a long coastline on the Adriatic Sea that ispretty, and it’s popular with tourists from all over the world. Ihave one sister and live in Zagreb, the capital, with my family. Iwant to be President when I grow up, or a pop singer. Maybe both.What are your plans? Write back and tell me. Regards, Zlata.

Dear Jessica, Hi from sunny Portugal. My name is Estevao. I likeplaying football (or, as you call it, soccer). I hope to playprofessionally someday. My family and I live in a small town thirtykilometers northeast of Lisbon, the capital. Portugal is insouthern Europe on the Atlantic Ocean west of Spain, on the IberianPeninsula. Centuries ago, Portugal was a rich and importantseafaring country with overseas colonies. Many famous explorerscame from Portugal. Vasco de Gama found a route to India, andPortuguese traders got rich from the spice trade. Pedro ÁlvaresCabral discovered Brazil and claimed it for Portugal, which is whythey speak Portuguese in Brazil today. Please write back and tellme about America! Sincerely, Estevao.

Dear Jessica, Hi from in Greece. My name is Xanthia. I live inThessaloniki with my family, including one sister and two brothers.Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece, after Athens,the capital. Greece is at the southern edge of Europe, so as youguessed, it is hot here in the summer. Sometimes it gets so drythat forest fires are a big danger. But you were wrong about thelandscape: it is not flat here, four-fifths of the country ismountainous, in fact. Have you heard of Mount Olympus? It is thehighest mountain in Greece. In our mythology the gods were said tolive there. Do you know any Greek myths? Greek philosophers arealso famous, such as Plato and Aristotle. Greek culture is very oldand has had a big influence on culture and art in other countries.Your new pen pal, Xanthia.

Dear Jessica, Buon giorno! My name is Mauro, and I live inItaly. Italy is the boot-shaped country in the south of Europe. Ican tell you a lot about Italy, as I am very good in school and Ican speak English well. I live with my parents and two youngersisters in Rome, the capital. Rome is the biggest city, almost 4million people live in the city or nearby. It is also old: it ismore than 2,500 years old. It is loud and busy and I like it. Toanswer your question, yes, I have been to Venice. In person it iseven more beautiful than in pictures, but I got tired walkingaround so much. My favorite city is Pompeii, which was buried by avolcano in the year 79. My favorite food is ice cream, calledgelato in Italian. What is yours? Regards, Mauro.

Ithas a population of about 40 million people. Most people speakSpanish, but Catalan, Galician and Basque are also spoken. Spainhas a long history. The oldest human fossils in Europe were foundin caves in Spain, and in the 16th and 17th centuries Spanishexplorers conquered much of North and South America.

Dear Jessica, Servus from Austria! We speak German here inAustria, and “servus” means both hello and goodbye in AustrianGerman. My name is Klaus. I live in a small town west of Vienna. Ido like to ski, how did you guess? However, I cannot ski near myhome because it is flat where I live, although more than half ofAustria is covered with mountains. Our highest mountain is theGrossglockner, it is 3,798 meters high. Austria used to be a largeempire in Europe, but after the first World War it lost muchterritory and now it is a small country of eight million people inthe center of Europe.

the violin. Can you play an instrument? Servus, Klaus.

Dear Jessica, Nice to meet you. My name is Laura. Thank you foryour interest in Belgium. I am interested in the United States,too. My family lives in Brussels, where my father works for the EU.Brussels is the capital of both Belgium and the European Union.Belgium used to be part of the Netherlands but became independentin 1830. Because Belgium is near the sea, it is often foggy here. Ilike fog. Belgium is also famous for its beer. We have more than450 different kinds of beer! As you mentioned in your letter, wehave a king, but we also have an elected government: Belgium is aconstitutional monarchy. The official languages are French andDutch. I can speak both, as well as English and German. Whatlanguages do you speak? Write back soon! Laura.

Dear Jessica, Bon jour from Jules in France! I live with onebrother and my parents in Paris. My older sister goes to universityand no longer lives with us. To answer your question: Yes, I havebeen to the Eiffel Tower, but I have not been to the Notre DameCathedral because I don’t go to church that much. I have also notseen the caves in Lascaux, because they are closed to the public,although they have a reproduction in caves nearby. France is in thewest of Europe, across the English Channel from Great Britain. Itis a large country, with a population of more than 60 millionpeople. In the summer my family goes to the South of France onholiday. It is warmer there. In the winter we go skiing in themountains near Grenoble. What do you do on your holidays? Regards,Jules.

Dear Jessica, Hi from Germany. My name is Ute. I am a girl. Myfamily and I live near Berlin, the capital of Germany. There usedto be two Germanys. In 1949, the country was divided into WestGermany and East Germany. East Germany was Communist. Germany wasreunited in 1990. Germany is a large country in central Europe. Thepopulation is over 80 million, the second-biggest in Europe (afterRussia) and the economy is strong, so we play an important role inEurope. Germany was a founding member of the EU in 1957. The Germanlandscape is quite varied. It ranges from flat plains in the north,near the North Sea, to mountains and Alps in the south. Our highestmountain is the Zugspitze, it is 2,963 meters high. Write back soonand tell me about your country! Tschüß!

Dear Jessica, My name is Laurent. Hello from one of the smallestcountries in Europe: Luxembourg. Luxembourg was founded in 963, butdidn’t gain full independence until 1867. Our population is onlyabout 480,000. Our capital city, where I live with my family, isalso called Luxembourg. We are a constitutional monarchy, meaningthe head of state is the Grand Duke or Grand Duchess, and the headof government is elected. Personally, I find the climate herepleasant, because it is mild, meaning the winters are not so cold,and it doesn’t get too hot in the summer, unlike other countriesfurther in the north or south of Europe. My hobbies are horsebackriding and reading. What do you like to do? Please write soon andtell me more about yourself.

Sincerely, Laurent.
