For your trip to the USA, I would recommend coming to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you like different seasons such as summer, winter, autumn, and spring, then this is the place for you! We have an average of fifty-eight inches of snow each year in our area. Our average temperature during the winter is around seventeen degrees Fahrenheit and in the summer our average is sixty-seven. We also have a variety of wildlife from deer to bears. 
We have 4,300 inland lakes, 12,000 miles of streams, and 1,700 miles of continuous shoreline. This makes for outstanding fishing! With all the snow we get, we have seven ski resorts. One of them has the largest vertical in the Midwest at nine hundred feet from the base to the peak. We also have attractions such as the National Ski Hall of Fame, Fort Mackinac, the Mackinac Bridge, and the Pine Mountain ski jump where international competitions are held every year!

    Mrs. Sutton's English 10 Class Kingsford, Michigan USA

    We are a sophomore English class of 28 students. (One of us is a foreign exchange student from Italy.) Most of us are 15 or 16 years old.

    We live in Kingsford, MI, a small rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our school, Kingsford High School, has a population of about 650 students. Most of the students in our school come from middle class backgrounds of Caucasian descent. Our school's mascot is a Flivver car because in the early 1900's, these Ford cars were mass produced  in our part of Michigan.  Our town is named after Edwin G. Kingsford, one of the leaders of the Ford Motor Company.

    One of the main employers in our area is Verso, a paper mill. Other large employers are the Dickinson County Hospital and a hospital for military veterans called the Oscar G. Johnson Medical Center. 

    Because we live where snow covers the ground seven months of the year, most of us know how to ski, snow shoe, ice fish, snowmobile, and ice skate. Those of us who don't like winter sports enjoy the warmer months of the year by swimming in the lakes and rivers, hunting or fishing in the woods, hiking on trails, or just hanging out in town with our friends. 

    At our school, we can participate in many sports like football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track, cross-country, basketball, and softball. We can also join all sorts of school activities like student council, drama, choir, band, class government, and so much more! Those of us who don't like sports or school activities spend our free time playing video games, listening to music, and shopping.
