The Amish: Another way of life

English presentationTopic: The Amish – Another way of life

My topic: Amish culture

Why did I choose this topic?

I think it is an interesting cultureAmish History:

Come from European countries

Now they live in 23 states of America and some in Canada

The clothes:

Men ware dark baggy pants held up with suspenders, white shirt-blouses and in the winter a black and in the summer a white¨

Women ware long black or blue dresses with an apron, they never cut their hair and they wares a bonnet over it

Rumspringa:

Turns 16 = Allowed to experiment and explore (sex, drugs ect.)

90 percent, turns back to church

My opinion:

I respect their way of living but I don’t think I could live like this
