Description of the place: Our Cottage
I have decided to tell you something about a place, which I like to stay at, and it is our cottage. It is situated in Western Slovakia near town Malacky and it is something about 80 kilometers from Bratislava. We spend there every weekend with my whole family (mother, father, sister and me). Sometime there are also my cousins, uncles and aunts.
How does it look? The cottage is not big and not small for us. It is built of wooden logs and is situated on the very edge of the lake. I need not tell you how beautiful and peaceful is the countryside all around a lake from early spring to late winter. Permanent inhabitances of the lake are couples of swans and wild ducks; some quiet ones are fish, to the great joy of fisherman. Around the cottage from the side of a lake is a small beach which is covered by gravel stones and some sand. Right in front of the cottage is anchored a small boat into which you can jump and row around the lake until the water is not frozen. Then look around and have a great pleasure of beautiful nature around a lake and many beautiful pine trees on the banks of the lake.
On the other side of a cottage where is a hedge, which protects the cottage from the small lane, which leads to other cottager in the vicinity. Behind a hedge, right in front of the windows and entrance of a cottage is a lawn, which I mow every week with an electric mower. All around a lawn there are some rose bushes and some decorative small trees. Just from the lawn you climb up a wooden staircase to the entrance door of a cottage. If you turn left, you come to a terrace, from which you can also enjoy the view of the lake and surrounding cottages. You can sunbathe in the deck chair or if you feel like it, you can sit in a shade of an umbrella and enjoy your tea.
If all these sport activities as swimming, rowing a boat, surfing, fishing were not enough for you, you can take your bike and take a ride around the lake or put on your roller-skates and have run on them

    Here in this small community, seemingly blocked off from the rest of the world, lies a small slate colored house with a large white tarp sheltering the driveway. Adjacent to it, is a fairly large camping trailer that, if it's lucky, gets used for its intended purpose. The maroon deck in the foreground brings life and color to the dull, 1- story house. The front yard, in which I spent my childhood, seems everlastingly covered with the blades of the towering trees that I have grown so accustomed to. The aroma of the rainfall the night prior still lingers in the air, even as the sun begins to rise over the dewy, frost ridden lawn. Here, in the confines of my own habitat, listening to the songs of the morning birds and the blue jays, is where I connected with my surroundings. Here, is where I call home..…

    I think I must have fallen asleep only a few moments after putting the lamp out and slept quite deeply too, for when I awoke – or was awakened – very suddenly, I felt somewhat stunned, uncertain, for a second or two, where I was and why. I saw that it was quite dark but once my eyes were fully focused I saw the moonlight coming in through the windows, for I had left the rather heavy, thick-looking curtains undrawn and the window slightly ajar. The moon fell upon the embroidered counterpane and on the dark wood of wardrobe and chest and mirror with a cold but rather beautiful light, and I thought that I would get out of bed and look at the marshes and the estuary from the window.…

    The lake was surrounded by all kinds of trees: sugar maple tree, camphor tree,etc. At the center of the lake, there were a few huge trunks lied down the peaceful lake.

The sound of chirping spread and penetrated quickly through the air, leaving the all forest the impression of both tranquility and delightfulness.…

    Choosing the right exercise program is the easiest part. If you like the outdoors then walking may be the right choice. “A brisk Walk is nearly the perfect exercise” (“Health Prescription” 2001). Dr. Mason explains in Harvard’s Women’s magazine, stretching before any exercise is important (“Health Prescription” 2001). She says, walking can be done in many different ways and the most effective way is a long thirty-minute walk (“health Prescription). If walking is not intense enough then cardio is a good choice. “When it comes to fitness fads that have swept across America over the past 50 years, cardio is the king” (Newsome 2012). A good form of cardio is running. “ Do you love the feel of running in the great outdoors yet worry about the bad press that running sometimes gets. There are precautions you can take” (Carerra 2012). “Running allows you to be connected with your thoughts and the increased heart rate and endorphin response of recruiting your entire body into the movement is uplifting, invigorating, addictive”( Carerra 2012).…

    3 Day Exercise Analysis

    I think that the best exercise that would suit me best would be light jogging and walking on the treadmill. I really like taking walks and I enjoy light jogging. I also think some aerobics would also help me as well. I would really like to get to a gym. I think if I had a trainer or somebody to get me motivated it would really help me. When I was in high school I enjoyed gym class because I had a teacher to motivate me to run a mile every other day. I also had friends to run with me. If I took my sister to the gym with me I think she would really motivate me. I could do these activities year round at a gym. I would not run outside in the winter because it gets way to cold and I do not like the cold. I could do these activates at a gym though year round.…

    It's elaborate, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay. There is a lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing with reflected gold, and wide open to the warm windy afternoon.…

    I lay patiently on the cracked leather chaise longue. The modest room was a fading cream colour, books line the wall near my feet in an ornate shelf, a small desk and chair sit by the wall opposite me next to the iron door, there is a single swinging light in the middle of the room which casts a golden glow over everything and a painting of a sailing ship hangs above me.…

    It is the one place where I know I can relax. It has that small cottage feel to it. There are not only huge oak trees and rose bushes surrounding it, but she also has a small garden waterfall, which complements it nicely. The moment I walked inside the house, a feeling of calmness came over me. The worries of going to work and paying bills that would not ever be paid off vanished from my mind. This place is my absolute haven away from the rat race of the inner city and when I tire of crowds of people around me. This is one place where southerners with true southern hospitality…

    Villa Rose Symbolism

    • 426 Words
    • 2 Pages

    When the girl in “Children of the Sea” speaks of growing used to Villa Rose, the themes of a facade of comfort and infinity are introduced, both of which become symbolized by the banyan tree, the mountains, and the stream. This idea of the façade of comfort is symbolized by much of the natural landscape of Villa Rose. The little stream that runs by the girl’s home in Villa Rose is a constant reminder that even stereotypically peaceful, comforting things like a stream are rarely perfect. To the girl, the stream is “only right at noon” and “a dozen eyes see [her] bathing”, which enhances the idea that the stream isn’t perfect. In addition, the girl says that, “The banyan tree is my closest friend” which indicates the idea that she is getting accustomed to having something other than the boy be…

    There is no place like mi casa. After a long day of school or a tiring session of work, the one place I can surely count on is home. Deep in the outskirts of Miami Gardens, this relaxing getaway destination awaits. While not the fanciest nor extravagant, my house is a convenient three bedroom apartment in the residency of Walden Pond. The building is beige with firebrick red stairs and a faded grey roof. The stairs are firm, and have rust stains due to weathering. Walking into the apartment, the aroma of Glade air freshener greets you before the people do. The walls are an orange-brown color, and immediately upon entry there are plaques and awards for my siblings showing their accomplishments in school. A glass table with flowery boutique sits…
