Maps by Jana Kokavcova

Maps are very important in our lives jet for many years, because they help us to find a right way and help how to find orientation in unknown country. Bigger maps give us some visions how could our world look like from the sky. No everyone has the possibility to fly in an airplane, so we have some maps from the sky, photomaps that give us information. Today it is very popular to go to Google earth and find some information about another country that are too far or too expensive for us to visit them. I know, visit of a country is really better than maps, because satellite maps can not give au the atmosphere of the city. I would like to go to st. Petersburg, but I haven't got enough money and time to go there, so I go to Google earth and see how it looks like in this beautiful Russian city. Everyone who has internet is able to see a lot of from maps. In school are maps very important too. Students can better find some places and have better view on the world. They know where is Poland and where California. Geography is one from the obligatory subjects, so we all need to know how to orientate in map. Maps are very important for tourists, because they give them information about landscape. So the place of maps in our life is very clear. Maps are needed. People always wanted to know how world looks like. How it could be in another countries, how it looks like in the see, how big is the sea…
