Gadgeds that are famous all over the world. I do not even know someone without a phone. I do not think that people should stare on the little screens all day. It is not good for our health. However, nobody cares about that. Sometimes we forget about beauties of the world. All things we can enjoy outside. The shine of the sun, lovely flowers or just an ordinary green tree. Because thanks to these things the world is world. We should keep these things and be happy to have them. Not be mad because someone turned wi-fi off. People almost forget to talk to each other. It is very important because talking to each other makes our relationship good, strong and happy. But there is one thing we should all accept. Mobile phones can save our lives. When we are in danger, the only thing we have to do is to call emeregency. MY FAVOURITE INVENTION I think the mobiles are a good thing, because when we are lost we can call for help. But it can be dangerous too. Don't play on mobile while you are driving a car! It MIGHT be your last day. But, when we are bored we can play games, chat with friends, take a photo with friends and other things. Maybe your parents say you're addicted to it. And maybe they often ask you that: „Why don't you go out ?" „Why don't you paint ?" „Why don't you play family games?" Sometimes I don't listen to them. But they want the best for us. Ema Šumichrastová 7.C 3 The Computer My favourite invention is the computer. Nowadays people use computers every day. You can paly games, go to Facebook, watch youtube videos and a lot of applications. You can listen to music, download and watch some films. We have two types of computers, first it is the desktop computer and the second one is the notebook. In the past people didn't have computers. Only rich people had computers because they were expensive. With a computer you can test people, post emails and do a lot of things. I think computers are very good and I like them. Tomáš Németh 7.C The computer - year 1949 Nowadays, almost everyone has got a computer. We play video games, do homework, look for information and watch videos on the computer. We use computers at home, at work or in factories. Without computers, we do not have robots, iPhones, satellites and some other things. Negative things of using computers are hackers and viruses and selling information about you and your computer. I think the computer is my favourite invention. Matúš Kráľ, 7.C 4 Television My favourite invetion is television. Some people watch television every day. I watch television every day too. My mother doesn´t watch television very often. On television, you can watch lots of films, series or cartoons. There are lots of TV channels too. For example: Markíza, TVJOJ, TA3. My favourite channel for kids is Disney Channel. My mom´s boyfriend watches TV PAPRIKA. He thinks that kids programmes are stupid and that programmes about cooking are the best! I like documentary films, because I like animals. The first television was invented in 1953. It had only one channel. Television is good for relax and fun. THE END. Diana Horváthová 7.C 5 MY PET MY GRANDMA`S PET.

  • “Christmas Around the World”
    “Christmas Around the World” Do you ever wonder how boys and girls celebrate Christmas in other parts of the world? Let's explore together and learn about Christmas traditions in other countries! Christmas in England! Can you find England on a map? In England boys and girls hang Christmas cards from their trees. They also put little candles on the branches of their trees. Some families do not eat turkey in England! Children there enjoy a wonderful meal of roast beef and plum pudding. On December 26th in England, the English celebrate a holiday called "Boxing Day." This name and holiday comes from a legend about noblemen boxing up gifts to give to their servants. This holiday is also called Saint Stephen's Day. Do you know who Saint Stephen was? You may have read about Stephen in the Bible. Stephen was a martyr for Jesus and he was stoned to death for his belief in Christ. In England little boys and girls receive their gifts from Father Christmas and they are not allowed to open their gifts on Christmas morning as is the custom in the United States. Children in England must wait and wait and wait until Christmas afternoon! Can you imagine! Children do hang their stockings by the fireplace to allow Father Christmas to stuff them with goodies. Children in England have a very unusual way of delivering their mail to Santa Claus. Instead of using their local post office, they throw their letters in the fireplace!

  • Christmas on Stamps That Is. Ever Since the Words 'Xmas 1898' Appear
    Christmas has been around for over a hundred years – Christmas on stamps that is. Ever since the words ‘Xmas 1898’ appeared on an issue from Canada, over 150 countries have issued stamps to honor this holiday. Due to the high volume of stamps, in 1989, the American Topical Association asked Dorothy Henderson, then President of the Christmas Philatelic Club (CPC), to recommend someone to compile a list of Christmas stamps, which they could add to their collection of Topical CHECKLISTS. Everleigh (Ev) Foster (CPC #179), with the assistance of James (Jim) Bie (CPC #876) undertook the task, which took two and a half years to complete. It was published by the ATA in 1991 and listed every stamp (each with its own individual description) from 159 countries, from the earliest date of 1898 until 1990. It is currently still available from the ATA as "Christmas Stamps of the World" -- ATA Handbook 120. After 1990, an annual update was submitted by Mr. Foster and published in bi-monthly issues of CPC's newsletter, the YULE LOG. This continued until his death in 2000. After his passing, Christina Howland-Stitt (CPC #810) took over the task that had proven so helpful to Christmas stamp collectors. It is unfortunate that circumstances prevented Christina from being able to continue the work she had so ably undertaken. The current updates -- from 1991 on -- are now done by Patricia Prevey CPC #971. These have incorporated information taken from YULE LOG issues since the last entry in Ev Foster's "Christmas Stamps of the World", after which recent issues by country as they appear in Scott Magazine Monthly are used as the basis for the updated list appearing on this web site.
