 * __WORLD WAR II__**

In my country people do some festivals and meetings with World War II veterans. There are a lot of memorial conversations and watching old photos of soldiers, buildings, army vehicles ( for example trucks, jeeps and motorcycles ) and many, many others. These events are showed on television and described in newspapers. In my city is the same but here I can watch these memorials live ( in the centre of my city on Kosciuszko Square ). This is very interesting. I am not interested in World War II but I watch this every year with big pleasure. This is an mportant event in my city and the mayor of my city delivers speech. In my school our students usually do a play and teachers with their classes come down to the sports hall to see what some students of our school do for this celebration. Finally viewers applause at the end of play. I like watching ours shows.

In our country some directors do lots of movies, musician songs and writers write books about the war. These are examples about World War II:
