Subject: trips to Vorarlberg
Date: 18th October 2009
The purpose of this report is to show what Vorarlberg offers in view of the interests of young adults. This report will be focused on the following points: facilities/amenities, activities and special places in view of summer time. The following points summarize my key findings.
Facilities / amenities:
Vorarlberg is a gorgeous place for wellness. There are also lots of skate parks if you are into skateboarding. Vorarlberg’s mountains offer lots of thrilling mountain bike routes for every degree of difficulty. If you want to go out in the evenings there are lots of cocktail bars and restaurants where you can meet up with friends.
Activities:
In summer it is beautiful to go swimming. The best places are Bodensee in Bregenz and Baggersee in Brederis if you want to chill. Both of them are for free. At most evenings there are great festivals at Poolbar which is in Feldkirch. There are also good shopping facilities in Vorarlberg’s cities.
Special Places:
There are some places you must visit when you come to Vorarlberg. For example there is the “Bregenzer Festspiele” if you like musicals. Another beautiful place is the Muttersberg from where you can look over most parts of Vorarlberg. There are also some very interesting museums, for instance “Inatura”, where you can fell, smell and see the nature of local nature.
It is clear that Vorarlberg is a very small federal state, but despite of this it offers huge range of possibilities how to spend your leisure time.

Opinion Essay "My Ideal Family"
Everyone has his own definition of what a family should be like. The meaning of a family is different to each of us. Therefore by sociologists giving definitions to what a family is, we do not have a clear idea of what family is and not all definitions adept to all families. I strongly believe that there is no “ideal family”. In the following essay I will explain why.
My first point is the explanation why there is no perfect family setup. In my opinion it does not matter what the constellation of a family is. For example, if there is a mother, a father and two children, for most people it seems that this is a perfect family. But think of the situation that the father or mother is an alcoholic. No one knows, outwardly it appears that everyone is happy.
I would also say that it is not important if the parents are the “real” parents, this means that the children are adopted. For instance, most of the children who are adopted have a considerably better life than before.
Afterwards, I want to argue why there is no connection between family constellation and relationships between family members. The first point is that in most instances there is a better relationship between family members in single parent families. Because there is no rivalry between kinds and parent. Often young children are jealous on one parent. Another point is that a relationship consists of giving and receiving. In other words, there could be the perfect family, but if no one thinks about the others it is impossible to live happy together.
The last thing I want to show is that no classification exists, which is perfect for society. Neither a nuclear family nor any other family can live without any problems. This means that a family can look like the perfect family for years, always obliging and friendly. And from one day to the other the couple gets divorced because the husband was unfaithful. There is no guarantee that if you raise a family, you will always be as happy as you were at the beginning. Another thing is that every person in this world has another meaning of the family which is perfect for society. A person who lives in Africa has another idea of the perfect family than someone who lives in Austria.
In conclusion, the question “Which is the ideal family?” is really difficult to answer, because everyone has another opinion of it. Because of that there cannot be a ideal family which contains the meaning of everyone. It depends on many factors. You always have to look at all of them.
