Halloween is a holiday celebrated in many English speaking countries like England, the USA

and Australia. It is celebrated on October 31st. The origins of Halloween are connected with people

whom we called Celts. They lived in Europe 2000 years ago. The Celts celebrated 1st November as

the end of the summer and they believed that one day before on 31st October dead people visited

the living ones. Since that time, people have started to dress up as ghosts so the dead would not

harm them.

Nowadays, Halloween is very popular in the whole world especially among children who

wear costumes and go from home to home saying "Trick or Treat" thus asking for candies. But it is

not only children who dress up. It is very popular even among adults who usually organize parties on

31st October. The most common costumes are: witches, vampires, werewolves and other scary

things. The most well-known Halloween symbol is jack o´ lantern which is a carved pumpkin with a

candle inside.

Halloween does not have a long tradition in Czech Republic even though there are a lot of

people who celebrate it nowadays. Most people here celebrate All Saints Day instead. All Saints Day

is celebrated on November 1st and people usually light candles and put flowers on the cemetery.

Our stay in Morávka

Our trip was for pupils from the 6th grade and we spent it in Morávka from 17th to 19th

September 2014. Our stay was great and we had a lot of fun. We had risotto for dinner when we

arrived and I enjoyed it a lot because it was delicious. The accommodations were quite comfortable.

There people shared one room͘ We woke up at 7 o´clock every day which was quite early but we

were always excited about the next day so we did not mind. We always brushed our teeth and

washed up, then we had a tasty breakfast. After our meal we had a programme prepared for us,

which was both interesting and exhausting. This is why we were looking forward to lunch because we

had a short, one hour break. Even though the programme was always great, we still enjoyed the

evening activities more because we had dinner and then we could play games together. Via this

article I would also like to thank to our teacher for participating with us͘ mong them: Mgr͘ Pyšková,

Mgr͘ Butkovová, Mgr͘ Kuča͘ Mgr͘ Šnajdrová and Mgr͘ Střížová͘ Thanks to Mgr͘ Střížová, you can now

read a short interview where she shared her impressions with us.

11: How did you like the stay?

RS: I liked it a lot. Hiking is my biggest passion.

11: What about pupils, were they good all the time?

RS: They were good most of the time.

11: How did you like the food?

RS: The food was great!

11: Would you like to return here?

RS: Yes, maybe in the future.

My Town

Our city Frýdek- Místek has population of about 58 thousand people. Frýdek- Místek

originally consisted of two cities: Místek which history dates back to the 13th century and Frýdek,

the history of which is known since 14th century. Both parts were formally united in 1955. The river

which flows through the city is called Ostravice. Despite the fact that I really like our city, I do not like

that there are a lot of business centres͘ Frýdek - Místek is a bug city and that is why it has a very well

thought out public transport system which includes trains and buses. The most important and

famous landmarks are the castle as well as the Square with the fountain of St. Florian. The castle is

from the 14th century and it was originally build in gothic style. Nowadays it is called Museum of

Beskydy. It is important to also mention that there are a lot of sport opportunities in our city. Thanks

to the surrounding landscape we can go surfing, yachting, fishing, play handball, volleyball, go

swimming or climbing and many others. The city has numerous parts and suburbs, including for

example Lískovec, Skalice, Rúžový and others͘

Michal Fuček

FRÝD -Our shopping centre

Have you already been in Frýda? It is probably the most frequently asked question not only

among the pupils but among the teachers as well. And that is also why "The Originals 11" decided to

bring you brief information about this new cultural phenomenon of our time. The building of the

shopping centre started in September 2013 and it was on November 13th 2014 that it was opened.

Of course our journalists couldn´t miss this big event as there were a lot of competitions for kids͘ The

whole shopping centre offers you about 60 shops. Among them are 14 clothes shops, 2 shoe shops,

and shops with electronics, jewellery, chemists, supermarket and many others. And if you perhaps

get tired you can have a rest in 5D cinema or you can have a coffee or snack in one of the 6

restaurant which you can find in Frýda͘ nd moreover if you get bored while drinking coffee or eating

your lunch you can enjoy free Wi-Fi in the whole complex͘ So if you haven´t been to Frýda yet we

definitely recommend you to visit it because a lot of events are going to take place there in

December. And because Christmas is coming, all of the events will be connected with Christmas. So

you can come to Frýda on 6th, 13th or 20th December to enjoy the holiday atmosphere͘ If you wish

My Favourite Football Club- FC Chelsea

Chelsea is one of the best known football clubs playing the Premiere League. The football club is

located in Fulham which is one of the London´s biggest suburbs͘ Chelsea was founded in 1905 and

won a lot of cups including four league cups, UEF Champion´s league cup and many others since

then. Chelsea's home stadium is Stamford Bridge with the capacity of 41, 837 seats. It is important to

stress that Chelsea has the largest attendance in the Premier League with about 41,462 visiting every

match.

The club owner is Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich who has bought the football club in

2003. Another important person in the club is manager Jose Murino who spent a considerable part of

his carrier in Chelsea, except the years 2010- 2013 when he was connected with another world's

famous club Real Madrid͘ The most important players connected with Chelsea are Petr Čech who is

their goalkeeper, and players like Cesc Fabregas, Ramires, Didier Drogba and many others. These are

the players which one cannot imagine the football club without.

Chelsea´s colours are black and white and its symbol is a blue lion͘ The football club is also

known due to its anthem "Blue is the colour" which is popular not only among the Chelsea´s fans but

among the football fans from all over the world. Because our editing team loves the song as well, we

decided to add the Czech translation. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed translating it.

The advent has already started and we light the first candle on our advent wreaths which

means that Christmas is coming. The tradition of advent dates back to the 19th century. Since that

time people from all over the world have advent calendars with numbers from 1 to 24 on it. These

doors hide small pieces of chocolate inside the calendar. They are opened every day since the 1st of

December until Christmas.

Christmas is celebrated differently in the UK and the USA the emphasis is not placed on the

Christmas Eve, which we celebrate on 24th December, but the most

important day is Christmas Day which is celebrated on 25th December.

For children, the most important night is considered to be the one from

24th to 25th December. This night children usually hang their stockings

and they also prepare cookies and milk for Santa who is going to bring

them presents and put them under the Christmas tree. But not all

children always get presents as Santa gives presents only to those kids

who were good through the whole year. Santa keeps two lists, one is for good kids and the other is

for those who were naughty. On the Christmas Eve he puts all of the toys into his sleigh which is

pulled by his 9 reindeers: Comet, Dasher, Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Donner and Rudolph. The best

known reindeer is Rudolph who has got red nose.

In the morning children wake up early to look through the stockings and also the presents

which are under the Christmas tree. Not only children but also adults are enjoying the presents they

got. In the evening all people have traditional Christmas dinner which usually consists of traditional

turkey and Christmas pudding. During the dinner a lot of people are watching the traditional Queen´s

Speech. Others Christmas traditions that originate in the UK include kissing under mistletoe and carol

singing. Singing carols is inseparable part of the Christmas celebrations not only in the UK and the

USA but in the whole world.

The singing originates in medieval times when singers were going from castle to castles

singing carols and that is also why they were called carollers. One of the Englishmen who made

Christmas carols very popular was Charles Dickens. In one of his best known works called "Christmas

Carol", he wrote about Ebenezer Scrooge, a very mean and bad man. He became a better person

after he was visited by three ghosts of Christmas. Since that time he became good and kind man. This

story is the most broadcasted TV programme every Christmas. Millions of people are watching it

during Christmas and hopefully they are aware of its massage that people should be kind and good to

each other.

CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!!! Bring us the results of the Christmas

crossword (leave it in Mrs͘ Filipcová´s office) or write us about how you

Christmas fairytales written by our

journalists

"Christmas and Birthday"

Once upon a time there was one woman called Julia. She was walking through the city and

suddenly she saw Baby Jesus. She started to talk to him and she said: "Pease bring me a mobile

phone" for Christmas. After that she came home where her children had a surprise for her. Because

it was Christmas day and Julia had birthday as well, the children prepared the dinner and they also

had a present for her. When she looked under the Christmas tree she saw a present for her. It was

the mobile phone from Baby Jesus.

"Santa Claus Really Exists"

Once upon a time there was one boy called John. It was one day before Christmas and John´s

mum asked him a question: "Were you good for the whole year?" Little Johnny started to cry

because he knew he wasn´t always good͘ He then run to his room and said: "I know that Santa Claus

doesn't exist anyway"! At the same time there was a Christmas movie running on TV and Santa Claus

who was watching everybody through the TV screen said: Oh no! This boy doesn´t believe in me, I

have to give him some sign that I exist͘ That is also why Santa decided to turn everything in Johnny´s

room to ice͘ fter John´s mum came to his room she was very angry and made little Johnny tidy his

room͘ Johnny couldn´t even imagine how it

happened. After he cleaned his room he went to

his bed and fell asleep. When he woke up in the

morning he wasn´t in his room any more, he was

now in a nice room full of toys and some strange

little person was staring at him.

"Hi Johnny" said this creature, "Santa is already waiting for you"͘ Johnny didn´t understand what was

happening but he woke up and went to see Santa. Santa was sitting in his chair looking sternly at the

boy.

"So you don´t believe in me?" He said. "That is why now you have to make 5000 toys as a

punishment. You can´t go home until you have finished your task." Johnny said: "But tomorrow is

Christmas and I can´t finish until tomorrow!" "But you have to" said Santa and then disappeared.

Johnny was making the toys the whole night but he made only a few toys.

He started to cry because he already knew he wouldn´t be home for Christmas. But suddenly

he woke up; he was at home in his bed and it was Christmas morning. He went to the living room and

under the Christmas tree there were a lot of presents. He wrapped all of his presents. He was very

surprised when he found out that these presents were the presents that he made last night. He got

new bike, play station, dog and many other things. He was very happy and he said: "Santa, now I

believe in you!" At the same time Santa Claus on the North Pole was very happy and he said: "Merry

Christmas Johnny, Merry Christmas to you!"

America are Dobermans, in England it´s Cocker Spaniel and in Africa it´s Rhodesian Ridgeback .

Dog´s history:

All dog breeds have a different history. I have a dog (Rhodesian ridgeback) this dog breed used to kill
