Your task is to complete a project on a country of your choice. It could be a country you used to live in; a country your family is from; a country you have visited on holiday; or a country that you just want to know a bit more about - the choice is yours!

You will need to use the internet and any books/magazines that you have at home to help you. Your project can be handwritten, or you can use a computer to present it in Word or Powerpoint etc.
