Group 3More differences:
Sweden is much bigger than Holland. There is not as much forest as in Sweden. They have
got gas and oil, something that we don´t have. The climate is warmer and that´s natural
because we live further up in the north.
There are no high mountains, the result is more winds and that´s why they can use windpower
and we can´t.
Holland has a very complicated schoolsystem as well. They go to school much longer than we
do and they start earlier.

cars.What we haven´t got in Sweden is hagelslag, a sort of granulated chocolate that is eaten
