Dan: Geography is so exciting for me! We speak about different things in the lessons: the landscapes of our planet, its mountains and plains, oceans and seas, rivers and lakes. We have learned that landscapes are different on different continents. Asia, North America, Europe are covered with forests. You can find vast grasslands1 on these continents.
