Lithuania
Lithuania is in the northeast of Europe. It is one of the European countries. Our neighbour countries are Latvia, Belarus, Poland and Russia. Lithuania has a beautiful sandy coastline and also spectacular dunes of the Curonian Lagoon. The Baltic Sea is in the west of the country. One-third of the country is forested with oak trees, birch, black alder, and pines. Wildlife is rather diverse. Wolves, foxes, elk, stags, deer, beavers, otters, badgers, wild boars and other mammal and rodent species thrive in the nature. Lithuania is one of the few countries where migrating birds are banded at the Vente Horn Ornithology station. Hundreds of species of birds like white storks, ducks, geese, swans, cormorants, herons, hawks dwell in the marshlands and by the rivers and lakes of the country.
Silute
Silute is a town is in the west part of Lithuania. It is small but very important. It is the capital of Silute District. There remain many old buildings in our town: an old post office (1905), a fire station (1911), a court building and prison (1848), a bridge across river the Šyša (1914), an estate of H. Scheu (1818), an old market square, a harbor, railway station and a bridge (1875).
In the town we have got an amateur theatre, a library, a museum, three churches, a few hotels, and many cafés, restaurants, bars and many shopping centers.
There is a large milk factory Silutes Rambynas (1842). They make butter and cheese and other milk products. We have got a big furniture factory too. People make tables, chairs, wardrobes, sofas and other things there. Silute is a very busy town.
Silute has got a harbor. There are many little boats there. My town is very beautiful in summer. I love it.
