Go, learn and discover!

Hello! :) Today I would like to tell you more about the project called Erasmus. This program gives a chance to students to go abroad and to learn at the foreign university whenever they want (at the first, second, third, fourth or fifth year of studies). Due to the fact that I was a participant of this project, I will try to present you how it works and whether I mention it positively or not :) But from the beginning… As you already know, each university allows students to go to the another country in order to enrich their knowledge according to their studies.

He knew that horses were sacred animals to the Troyans so he decided to build a huge, hollow wooden horse on wheels. A horse big enough for some of his soldiers to hide inside. The horse was duly built and some of the soldiers climbed inside. The others set fire to the camp and pretended they were going to sail back home to Greece, defeated. In fact they hid nearby. The Trojans, delighted that the Greeks had left, immediately came out of the city gates and found the horse. They were very curious indeed. As part of the plan, the Greeks had left behind one soldier hiding near the horse. The Trojans soon found him and asked him about the horse. He said it was an offering to the goddness Athena. The Trojan tried to pull the huge horse into the city. However, it was so big that they had to tear down part of th
