Neighborhoods

Emma from Lillestadskolan in Växjö, which is in the south of Sweden, wrote this about her special neighborhood:

Växjö is not very big, but there are 80,000 people living in town and the surrounding area. Växjö has a big dome that is well known. The dome is in the center of town. Carolina Klyft is a well-known athlete from our town. She is known all over the world. Växjö is also well known for Linné Park. There is a flower called Linnéa. It has its name from Carl von Linné who lived long ago. There are not many wild Linneas, but there are some. In Växjö you can also see Lily of the Valley (Liljekonvalj). There are lots of Lilys of the Valley in spring. There is another flower called Dandelion (maskros). Dandelion is a flower and a weed. We have lots of pine trees and fir trees in the forrest. There are birch trees too. There are some roe in Växjö. You can see quite a few hares in Växjö too. Moose can also be seen in Växjö. This is my town Växjö.
