QUIZ TIME

Dear students,

We are very happy to announce our new partners.
Two schools have just decided to participate in Meeting Point Blog Project.

Welcome! We are very happy to have you here.

Now we would like our Spanish and Polish students to guess where our new partners come from.
One team come from Northern America and the other one from Europe.

• 1. Students from the United States would like you to guess the name of their state. They prepared a special quiz for you. Good luck! :)

Pepsi was invented and first served in 1898. We lead the nation in furniture, tobacco, brick, and textile production.
The state song is The Old North State. The state tree is the longleaf pine. We have 1,500 lakes of 10 acres or more in size and 37,000 miles of fresh water streams.

What is the name of their state? If you know the answer, please leave it in a comment to this post.

• 2. Now it's time to solve the mystery of our European partner :)

It is a parliamentary republic.
The flag is blue and white.
It is a popular holiday destination, famous for spectacular and picturesque views – for example six monasteries built on natural rock pillars.

You will see the name of this country many times while reading about the history of sport and theatre.
In the native language it is called Elláda.

What country is it? If you know the answer, please leave it in a comment to this post too.

We are looking forward to your guesses.
