Hello!

In your hands you hold the SECOND issue of the school magazine "The Originals

11". Our magazine will be published four times a year and we hope you will always enjoy

reading it. In the SECOND issue you are going to read about the most important news from

our school and town. This section is called "Our school and town" and we hope it

won't be the only part you'll enjoy. We are sure that you will also like sections called

"Entertainment", "Sport", "Life in England and the USA" and many others.

For entertainment you can look forward to articles such as "Dogs, Our Best Friends",

"Great Games to Play", "From our recipe book" and serialized comic strip "Nerd". In

the "Sport section" you can read not only about the latest news form the sport life of our

school but you will also be informed about famous football clubs from all over the world as

well.

Because our magazine will be published purely in English, we will be interested in

culture of English speaking countries. We hope it might be useful and interesting for you.

This issue will be devoted partly to "Valentine´s Day", which we celebrated on 14th

February, but our main focus is going to be on "Saint Patrick´s Day."

a new section added especially for our youngest readers

Valentine´s day is a famous holiday celebrated all around the world. We celebrate it

on 14th February. It is a day when lovers confess their love to each other. They also send

each other cards. They give their loved ones various presents like flowers, chocolate, teddy

bears and many others. The typical Valentine´s Day colour is red and that is also why the

most important symbol of Valentine is a red rose.

Another symbol of the Valentine´s Day is Cupid. According to the Roman mythology

Cupid was believed to be the son of Venus, the goddess of love. Valentine´s Day is

celebrated to honour St. Valentine who lived in the third century during the reign of the

Roman Emperor Claudius II. Claudius II forbid all marriages because soldiers didn´t want to

leave their wives and go to war. However St. Valentine decided to marry couples in secret.

Unfortunately Claudius II found out and St. Valentine was imprisoned and executed. While in

prison he started to write letters and poems to people whom he loved. This is why love

letters and poems are such an important part of this holiday.

VOCABULARY

confess- vyznávat

Cupid- amor

LET´S SMILE

WITH THE

SIMPSONS

Everything I know about the Simpsons is that it is a

family that live in Springfield. Homer and Marge have got three

children - Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Bart is a scamp whose best

friend´s name is Milhouse. Lisa is a nerd who is kind of a head

of the family. Maggie is a baby. Marge is Homer´s wife and her

maiden name is Marge Bouviere. Homer works in a nuclear

power plant. He spends most of his time in Moe´s tavern because he likes to drink a beer. It

was revealed in on episode that he met Marge when he was 10. I also like Homer´s father

Abraham. Everybody calls him Abe. Abe fought in World War II. During the war he got lost

on a desert island with a millionaire Montgomery Burns. They met Santa Claus here and

together they celebrated Christmas.

THE BEST HOMER SIMPSON JOKES:

1) Operator! Give me the number for 911!

2) Bart, with $10,000, we’d be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful

3) Maybe, just once, someone will call me ‘Sir’ without adding, ‘You’re making

a scene.’

4) [Meeting Aliens] Please don’t eat me! I have a wife and kids. Eat them!

OUR HOBBIES

My passion- TRAINS

Trains are my biggest

passion. In this article I decided

to write not only about trains

but also about the train station

in Frýdek - Místek. There are two

platforms in Frýdek - Místek. The

first one is easily accessible while

you would need to take an

elevator to get there. The station

is not electrified. However the electrification of the track between Ostrava and Frýdlant nad

Ostravicí is going to take place in 2015. In the past the station consisted of low - level

platforms which were accessible directly through the track. This was very dangerous and

that is why the station was reconstructed. The reconstruction took place in 2010 and it is

safer and also much nicer than before. The station and its surroundings are very nice. There

is also a bus stop near the station.

The fastest and best train in the Czech Republic is definitely Pendolino. Its maximum

speed is 230 km per hour but Czech track are not in a good condition so it can achieve

maximum of 160 km per hour. Pendolino is the fastest train in the central Europe.

Michal Fuček, 6.B

TS AKTIV

My biggest hobby is dancing. I am a member of a great group TS Aktiv. We have a lot of fun

there. There are hundreds of children of a different ages. TS Aktiv is supported by "Středisko

volného času Klíč". We take part in lots of various competitions and we are always

successful. Our dancing lessons are great I like them. I also like the beautiful green costumes

we have. I can recommend TS

Aktiv to all children who love

dancing. It is simply great.

Nela Špačková, 5.A

I love HORSES

My favourite animals are horses. I also like ponies. You

can ride horses in Místek, Dobrá and Lískovec. Horses have

various colours like black, white, grey, brown or mixed. Horses

are very big mammals and they are very fast. That is also why

horse races are organized all around the world. The biggest

horses can have even more than 2 metres. Nowadays a lot of

people ride a horse. To ride a horse you need: saddle, bridles

and other stuff.

To those of you who like horses our editing team can

recommend to read a book by Joanna Campbell:

"A Horse Called Wonder" ("Hříbě jménem Naděje), which is a

beautiful story about a girl and her love for horses.

Simona Horčičáková, 6.A

Snowboarding the sport I love

Snowboarding is a very good sport. The best snowboarder is Ester Ledecká.

Everything depends on the front foot in snowboarding. First, we learn to get up. Then we

need to learn to brake (cleats), do the falling leaf and finally the arches. Since 1998

snowboarding have been one of the disciplines at Olympic games. The milestone year in the

history of snowboarding is year 1965 when Sherman Poppen joined the two skis thus making

a snowboard. At the top he mounted a string and created the first model snowboard, called

"Snurfer". Inspired by Poppen´s success Burton Carpenter began to produce his own

snowboards. He changed snowboard with several tapes firmly holding the legs. In 1977 he

founded the company in Vermont Burton. Freestyle snowboarding includes a wide range of

disciplines.

Useful vocabulary:

Backside- zadní hrana prkna

Frontside edge- přední hrana prkna

Tail- patka prkna

Nose- špička prkna

Radius- poloměr kruhu, podle jehož části je

vytvarovaná hrana

Backstance- posunutí vázání směrem dolů

Twintip- konstrukce prkna

Strap- pásek vázání

St. Patrick´s Day

We celebrate St. Patrick´s Day on 17th March. Despite the fact that it is an Irish

holiday it is celebrated worldwide. This day is celebrated to honour the death of Saint Patrick

who lived in the 4th century and who was the first to bring the Christianity to Ireland. The

most important symbols of this holiday are: Celtic cross, shamrock, harp, leprechaun and

many others. But it is the symbol of a leprechaun which first comes to our minds when we

hear about the St. Patrick´s Day. You should know that St. Patrick and the leprechaun have

nothing in common despite the fact that their typical colour is green. Saint Patrick was a real

person who brought Christianity to Ireland while leprechaun is just a mythical creature.

However 6th grade pupils disagree with that and they have several theories how Saint

Patrick and the leprechaun could possibly meet.

"Leprechaun and St. Patrick"

Once upon a time in Ireland there was a man named Patrick. He was very poor and he

wanted money. He was always sad and hungry because he had no money for food and

clothes. He lived in a small cottage and he had only one pair of a wooden shoes and a few

pieces of clothing. One day after lunch for which he had a slice of bread and a cup of water

he went for a walk to forest. Suddenly he got lost. He walked and walked when suddenly he

saw a pot of gold. Next to is there was a leprechaun who had green clothes, green hat and a

pipe in his mouth. Leprechaun looked at Patrick and asked him: "Do you want this pot of

gold?" "Yes, I do". Said Patrick. "But I want something in return". Said the leprechaun. "I´ll

give you this pot of gold but you have to sign this contract with your own blood". Patrick

read the contract and said: "Ok, I see no problems". He signed the contract with his own

blood and the leprechaun kept it. "Thank you", said Patrick. He took the pot of gold and he

became very rich. He had so much money that he started to give it to poor people. That is

why people elected him a king and he was declared Saint. However after a few years the

leprechaun came with the contract and took St. Patrick to hell. Since that time nobody have

ever seen him.
