A CIPÓ története: interjú Solymosi Zsolt aligazgató úrral, az újság megalapítójával és sok sokévi főszerkesztőjével

1. Hogyan jötta Cipó ötlete? 2001-ben történt, az iskola lassan elérte a 200 diákot, és pont egy olyan fázisában volt, amikor kerestük azt, hogy mitől leszegyénisége, hogyan leszönálló, és kerestünk olyan eredeti projekteket, amelyek az iskolát megerősítik, kiemelik.Minden profiiskolának az arculatához hozzátartozik egy suliújság, ezért eldöntöttük, hogy elindul ez az újság. A neve rögtön adódott, mert volt egy Berde Mózes által elindított hagyomány, éspedig az, amit végrendeletében meghagyott, hogy minden szegénysorsú diák kapjon reggel egy kis cipót és egy pohár tejet az iskola részéről. Ez a cipó-újság verzióban- egy szellemi táplálekká vált, és úgy éreztük, hogy nagyon passzol az iskola egyéniségéhez, tehát egy olyan újságnevet választottunk, amely egyértelműen az Unitárius Kollégiumra utal. 2. Mik voltak a Cipó eredeti céljai? Cél volt, hogy teret adjon a diákok önkifejezésenek, híreket szolgáltasson, és egyfajta magazin legyen, amely tájékoztatjaa diákokat az iskolában történt eseményekről. Egy feedback-szerű újságnak indult, amely az épp lezajló eseményeket értékelte a diákok írásai alapján. 3. Kezdetben mik voltak a legfelkapottabb témák? Itt kezdődött az ,,osztályhangulatok” rovat, ahol mindenki arról számolt be, hogy épp mi zajlik az osztályában. Ez most már elkopott, kiüresedett egy kicsit, de akkor egy olyan világban éltünk, amikor nem volt digitális felület, nem facebookoztak vagy instagramoztak az emberek, téglaméretű mobiltelefonok voltak, és öröm volt olvasni egy nyomtatott újságban azt, hogy mi történik az osztályokban. A legelső Cipó 4. Hogyan változott a Cipó külalakja és tartalma az évek során? A külalakjárol azt tudom mondani, hogy Felházi Ágnes, az akkori rajztanárnő alkotta meg a Cipó logóját: a frissen kisült cipó a gyönyörű falusi abroszon, és ez megmaradt évtizedeken keresztül. Amikor a szerkesztő cserélődött, általában négyévente, a következő szerkesztő változtatott a külalakján. 5. Mit tud mondani a szerkesztőség változásárol az

2 évek során? Négy éves ciklusok voltak, a főszerkesztők profi munkát végeztek: éjjelente fennültünk hajnali 3-ig, dolgoztunk az újságon. Sokszor volt úgy, hogy bentlakó főszerkesző volt, de úgy is, hogy kolozsvári, megemlíteném Adorján Leventét, aki a Cipó digitális szerkesztésének idejére beköltözött az iskolába, akár két hétig itt lakott a bentlakásban, amíg meglett az újság, és nagyon boldog volt,amikor látta, hogy a munkájának van eredménye. 6. Melyek voltak azok a számok, amelyekre a legbüszkébb? Minden számra büszkék voltunk, mert olyan volt, mintha a saját gyerekünk lett volna, bármilyen nyálasan is hangzik. Rengeteg munka volt benne, és alig vártuk, hogy megjelenjen. Akkoriban, visszautalva a rovatokra, még arra is volt példa, hogy élő, 80-90 éves volt kollegistákat kerestünk fel, és készítettünk velük 3-4 oldalas interjúkat. Amikor egy ilyen interjú megjelent, súlya volt az újságnak. 7. Voltak-e nehézségek vagy tévedések? Tévedések voltak, mint minden munkában. Leginkább az zavart minket, ha 600-szor átnéztük a helyesírást, az oldalakat, a tördelést, és ezek után is a nyomtatott változatban felfedeztünk elnyelt betűket, vagy elcsúszott sorokat. Rettenetesen éreztük mangunkat, és volt olyan, amikor 200-300 példányban kézzel javítottuk ki a hosszú ,,ó”-kat meg a hosszú ,,í”-ket – ezzel telt el egy délelőtt. Különösebb nehézségekre nem emlékszem, örömmel csináltuk.

8. Mi az, amit mindig szívesen lát az újságban? A legszívesebben a diákok művészeti megnyilvánulásait várom, tehát olyan verseket, prozákat, esszé jellegűírásokat vagy grafikát, amely jelzi azt, hogy az a diák ebben tehetséges. Van már olyan kőltőnk példaul, Kovács Péter személyében, aki a Cipóban jelentette meg az első verseit. 11. Elmesélne néhány vicces emléket is? Az egyik legviccesebb emlék az volt, amikor a bentlakási szobámban szerkesztettük a számot, és a főszerkesztő elaludt mellettem, úgy, hogy a fejét nekinyomta a szekrénynek, és amikor kérdeztem tőle valamit, már nem volt velem – ez hajnali 3 órakor. Annyira megszántam, hogy nem akartam felkölteni, és hagytam, hogy aludjon a homlokával a szekrénynek nyomódva.

Házi feladat csapat vagyunk, akihez szívesen jár az ember: másolásra sose elég az idő. Van elég akár tanulni, akár lazulni, akár tanítani (a megbeszélnivaló az órákon lezajló viták magyartanárnő szerint). Szinte sose félünk kapcsán, és a közös Fun Run-ozás is eléggé attól, hogy mi vár ránk (talán csak a fizikaóra népszerűvé vált az elmúlt hetekben (egy előtt), és ha izgulunk, azt is együtt tesszük. értelmes játék, értelmes embereknek).

Nyáron a tanárok úgy búcsúztak el, még nem. Aztán eltelt a nyár, gyorsan, hogy „Pihenjetek, élvezzétek ki a nyarat, mert sebesen és le sem lassult, amíg el nem érte a ez lesz az utolsó, amit iskolásként tölthettek, szeptembert, amíg újra a fekete-fehér szettet aztán jövőre érettségi!” Persze, mi csak elő nem kellett venni, amíg a padba újra be legyintettünk, hogy „Igen, igen, úgy lesz!”, de nem kellett ülni. valójában egyikünk se érezte azt a nyomást, Visszajönni az iskolába nem volt azt a súlyt, amit az utolsó év hoz. Legalábbis megterhelő. Vagyis, nem jobban, mint eddig.

7 Mindenki örült a másiknak, mindenki ami eddig jellemzte az osztályt, ami minket valahogy elveszett a nyári emlékek azokká tett közösségként, akik vagyunk. Az hullámában, ami hamar repedezni kezdett az egyedüli dolog, ami miatt tudatában vagyunk első „Na, idén érettségiztek!” kijelentéssel. annak, hogy mi vagyunk most úgymond a De még maradtak szilánkok, apró részek, „legnagyobbak”, az a kilencedikes Gólyabál amik a nyárra emlékeztettek, azonban ezeket szervezése, ami egyébként igen jól halad, és a is hamar elvesztettük a sokadik „Mit nemsokára kezdődő tánc, amit pedig már terveztek jövőre?”, „Milyen egyetemre nagyon sokan várunk. mentek?”, „Második félévig már kéne Összegezve az elmúlt két hónapot, tudnotok, hogyan tovább!” kérdések után. Az eddig kisebb-nagyobb változásokkal a tavalyi az önfeledt hangulat átment egy kicsit évünkre emlékeztet, azonban, amilyen félősebb, stresszesebb hangulatba, és lassan sebesen eltelt a nyár, olyan sebesen halad mindenki kezdte, kezdi megérteni, hogy ez előre az ősz is, és őszintén nem tudom, hogy bizony az utolsó év, az utolsó hónapok együtt, milyen lesz ezután az osztály, de azt tudom, azután érettségi és ki-ki megy a dolgára, a hogy a legnehezebb, legstresszesebb maga útjára, s talán a kapcsolatok jó része is helyzetben is megtaláljuk majd azt a kis részt, megszakad majd. amin nevetni lehet. Legalábbis, ha mi nem is, Van, aki már érzi a felelősséget, amit akkor is Bálint jól fog szórakozni azon, hogy az év hoz, van, aki még nem, van, aki már szünetben, Barni „nagy örömére” nyitogatja most igyekszik mindent beleadni, de van, aki az ablakot, amikor kint a leghidegebb pontok még úgy érzi ráér. Talán nem is olyan rossz, vannak ( P.s.: Bálint, én tudom, hogy kell hogy még nem vagyunk annyira a 12. év szellőztetni), és majd Kristóf is elégedett lesz, hatása alatt, mert így egy kicsit amikor nem tud hagyni enni. visszahozhatjuk azt a nosztalgikus hangulatot, Filip Borostyán XII.H

Szivárvány Vörösen izzik véremben az izgalom, Mindeközben lassan meggyötör a fájdalom, Narancssárgán perzseli kedvemet a Nap, Kicsi szívem mégis nagy nyílvesszőket kap.

Sárga napfelkelte színezi szívemet, Néha borús felhő sötétíti kedvemet. Zöld levelek száza élteti napomat, Ezek mégis durván elfojtják dalomat.

Kék ég végtelenje kalitkába zárhat, De egy kulccsal eléd is szabadságot tárhat. Lila keserűség keresztez utamon, Szavak segítenek át minden szakaszon.

Egyértelmű tehát, színezett az élet, Mégis minden kanyarban veszedelem érhet. Nevetséges harag szürkíti teredet, De egy, ami lényeges, az a szeretet. Lukács Anna- Bíborka IX.H

8 Időtlen csend

Nem folyik belőlem a vers, inkább az időn merengek el. Ezer pillanatban csodálom, ez nem elég, időre vágyom.

Üresek a terek,hallgat a világ, nyugodt minden, amit szem lát. Egy hangos, színtelen csend végigsimítja bőröm és befed.

Valaki felkavarja a békét, ki az az átkozott, aki ezt tenné? Én voltam...meguntam a csendet, hangosan ordítok egész este.

"Átkozott idő, végtelen csend, elég volt, tűnjetek el! Felkavarjátok gondolataimat porrá emésztitek álmáimat! "

Ő volt az egyetlen álmom, minden percnyi boldogságom. Fagyos lelkemnek a takaró, megláncolt szívemnek a szabadító.

Szeretni akarom,lényében elveszni, végtelen időkre vele boldog lenni. Egy perc helyett halálig ölelni ez nem elég,időre vágyom. Szatmári Eszter XII.H

Télből tavaszba

Siklik a szánkó a havon, a havon, Pátyolgat a hajnal De csüggedt a tó vize, Remeg is, sóhajt nagy bajban, sóhajt nagy bajban.

Futár a szél,viszi a hírt, Száz madár zengi a muzsikát. Már épp látom, ahogy kinyílik a réten Az első hóvirág.

Újból itt a tavasz, Feltámad a természet, Kivirágoznak a fák, A gólyák újból rendberakják a fészket. Vincze Dávid Anton XI.H

9 Változás

Én nem változtam meg. Most érzem csak jól magam. Rájöttem, hogy az igazság is igazságtalan...

Talán eddig önmagam rabja voltam, Más akarta, hogy olyasvalaki legyek, Aki nem én vagyok és soha nem is leszek. Az én életem, képes vagyok dönteni, És döntésekkel együtt bizony, néha változni.

Nem lesz, mert nem lehet az, ami régen, A felhő sem tér vissza, hely marad az égen. Töltsem ki e helyet amivel akarom? Szívem még mindig szeret, hiába tagadom.

Elfelejtem ki voltam s vagyok, mert csak az számít, hogy ki lehetek, Az élet egy játék, melyben én vezetek.

Csak nem tudom, hogy tényleg akarom-e.. Álom ez, melynek végét látom-e? Vége nincs, de már azt sem tudom, hogy kezdődött, Sodródtam az árral, s egy fura érzés mellém szegődött.

Neve nincs, s nem is lehet látni, De tudom, hogy ott van és elkezd változni. Talán mégis változunk, s változom én is, Az élet egy nagy hipnózis... Szekér Imola IX.R

10 Hontalan

Most itt tétlenül állok, Rajtam csapódik az átok, Nem tűrnek el engem, Vajon én mit tettem?

Arcom derűs mosolyát Átvette most a gyász, Szívem teljesen fekete, Nem segíthetsz ezen te!

Nézek ki a fejemből, Rosszul vagyok már ettől, Megöl engem az ideg, Szívem, kérlek gyer’ ide!

Itt állok most egyedül, Egyszer minden kiderül, Bolyongok a sötét éjben, Mindenki most végveszélyben.

Tehetetlen vagyok sokszor, Bolond vagyok milliószor, Keresem a válaszokat, Nem találom én azokat.

Megváltom a világot! Hülyéskedtem, belátom, Megteszem, amit lehet, Új világot teremthetek... Kerekes Eduárd XII.H

Fagyos világ

Tisza-parton járok, Ady Endrére gondolok, Legyek-e szimbolista, nem, Inkább egyszerű sorokat írok...

Egyszerűt, hogy mindenki értse, Hangot adok, hogy mindenki zengje, Rájöjjön mindenki, hogy nem ő a világ közepe Egyedül, csak nézek-nézek fel az égre...

Nem látok semmit, talán nem is kéne, Nem nézem tovább, nem nézek az égre...

11 Belenézek egy lány szemébe, egy világot látok benne, Világa nem lehet az enyém, egyedül ülök... S nézem, ahogy a szerelem rajtam röhög...

Jött a tél, hideg van, Eljön annak is az ideje, de melegen tart a kályha, hisz a jégkorszak sem tartott örökké, Szívem, hideg, fagyos, Eljön majd az idő, mikor a nincs párja... világunk egymásé, kettőnké...

Fülöp Jenő XII.H

Család

Gyerekek, nevetés, közös játék, Fáradt vagyok, fáj a fejem, Nyaralás, élet, a legszebb ajándék. De most is kötekszik velem. Vagy munka, veszekedés, gyötrelem, Folyton menne, ahogy te is, Az a nyavalyás kölyök már megint Ne nézz! Itthon maradunk úgyis. szemtelen? Vagy menjél, mit bánom én? Folyamatos sírás, rívás, Csak hagyjál végre te is békén. De még sincs megtakarítás. Egy testvér nagy kincs, Álmokra, pihenésre, boldogságra, Te csak tudod, hisz neked nincs. Hogy ne gondoljon a gyerek öngyilkosságra. Az agyamra megy, utálom, Mindig szomorú, sose beszél, Kerülöm, amikor csak van rá alkalom. Gyerünk már, rajta, egyél! Ő se szeret, talán nem is testvér, Hiába főzök, törekszem, A világnézetünk teljesen eltér. Látod rajtam? Öregszem. Az a legjobb, ha nem is szól hozzám, És én? Velem mi van? Szeressétek egymást, ezt mondja anyám. Én sem vagyok a legjobb passzban. Itt mindenki szeret mindenkit, A szívem tönkre, lelkem talán már nincs is, Muszáj hogy legyen valakid. És aztán csodálkoztok, a kölyök antiszociális. A vasárnapi ebédre készenállunk, Jól vagyok így, hagyjatok, Templomban ma se voltunk. Csak egy kis magánéletet adjatok. Végre együtt a család, Apád morog, mindig ideges, Kérlek, ne kezdjünk vitát! Az én türelmem is véges. Nem szól senki semmit, Sosem nyaralunk, állandóan dolgozunk, Csak végre együnk egy igazit! Nincsen rá idő, túl sok a bajunk. De nem erre van szükség, ezt mindegyikünk Négyévente egyszer a Balaton, tudja, És ott is, csak ülök a fapadon. De hiába, ennél többre nem futja. Elegem van, nem erre vágytam, A lelkünk üres, kiéhezett, De elválni sose váltam. Remélem, ez csak átmenet. Anyád már megint hisztizik, Jól van ez így, minden rendben, Mindenbe beleavatkozik! Csak együk végre azt a rohadt ebédet!

12 Változás

Augusztus végén vége a nyárnak, Lelkemben zord szelek járnak, Jön az új világ, jön a lici, Vajon majd átvészelnem segít valaki?

Megérkezett Szeptember, nem vártam nagy „Hűhát”, Kedvem már elment, mikor hallottam az „iskolát”. Barátok, nyár, bulik és jókedv, Csak egyedül maradtam e hűvös életben.

És eljött a nap, amiért annyira izgultam... Elszakadás, fájdalom, könnyekbe borultam, Szívszakadásos búcsúzás ért el minket, Azt hittem, most lesz e 'vers'nek a vége.

Tévesen hittem; csak ezután lett komoly, Amikor az új életbe beszűköltem, mint egy gomoly, A bentis élet kezdete nem volt a legfényesebb nálam, Mindig vissza akartam menni hamarjában.

Bíztattak, segítettek, mellettem álltak, De ez nem hatott az új változásnak. Ajtón ki-be jártam, tanakodtam: Vajon elfogadnak-e ahogy önmagamat adtam?

Teltek a percek, hetek, hónapok, Mosolyod volt az, ami felvidított, S lelkem csak néha látott ragyogót. Arcod, mely kiutat lelt nekem. Az új tanárok, barátok, ismerősök mellett Melletted talán önmagam lehetek; Megismertelek Téged. s csak ennyit mondhatok: Szeretem.

Jenei Kinga IX.H Remélem, megy…

Csak egy pisszenés az egész, Oly nehéz, Közömbös. Aztán csörög, mint egy vekker, Anyu, apu felkel, S a lámpa is bambán pislákol. Én nyúlok a kagylóért, Mint piciny szarka a kincsért... Fülemhez teszem, És pontosan érzem, Elveszem. Morajlás az egész, Feledés... És mindez tudatlanul. Mert beszélnek hozzánk,

13 Még sem értjük. ki gazda nélkül reménytelen. Színészkedünk... Csattanás. És mindezzel beérjük. Ez a végszó. Kimondott szavak, Lerepül a kagyló, Melyek nem érnek célba, Szilánkosra törik, Mint a postázott levél, A kezem áll, Melyet soha nem olvassák. Vár... Vagy épp, mint S az utolsó gondolat: a sínylődő bőrönd, -Hahó...Önmagam?

Csillagnak lenni

Távoli bolygón kezdődött történetünk, hol a fák lombja az eget érte. Már ha nevezhetjük égnek azt a furcsa, barnás színű fedőt, amelyről a csillagok madzagon lógtak. Vicces látványt nyújtott. Képzeljetek csak el egy olyan igazi, ötágú csillagot, derekánál átkötve, ezáltal a szeme kiguvad, már már csillagokat lát. Ellenben a rendszabályzat tiltja, hogy csillagok lógjanak az égről. Tisztán kimondja, hogy azok csak egy fa lombkoronáján kaphatnak helyet. Hiszen ágaik úgyis az égig érnek. A fák morcosak voltak. Semelyik csillag nem akart rajtuk élni. „Akkor már inkább fulladozás” mondták, s felakasztották magukat az égre. Ezen fura csillagok alatt élt egy fura család is. Gitár alakú házban tengették életüket. Érdekes, mert nem is tudtak játszani az említett hangszeren. Benne még igen, mivel ház nagyságú volt, de ezt ugye nem vesszük figyelembe. A családban három Mikor az irodalomtanár meghallotta a gyerek született. Mikor az iskolában gyerekek válaszát, komolyan ezt mondta: megkérdezték tőlük, mik szeretnének lenni, „Bizony sok csirkepaprikásra lesz ha felnőnek, azt mondták, csillagok. Ehhez szükségetek, ha csillagnak készültök. Csak az hozzá is segített őket édesanyjuk isteni ám a gond, hogy kicsiny birodalmunkban csirkepaprikása. Tudni kell ugyebár, hogy nincsen annyi csirke!”.

Lehetetlen látomás (magyarórai kreatív fogalmazás)

Éjszaka volt és rendkívül sötét. Aligha lehetett látni a holdat vagy a csillagok fényét a nehéz, szürke bársonyfellegekkel takart égen. A város falánk homályba burkolózott, s a hideg sötétség már-már elszipolyozta az életkedvet az ottlakoktól. Különlegesen nézett ki minden, a hetvenes évekből megmaradt, alacsony szürke tömbházak, mint heringek a konzervdobozban passzírozódtak egymáshoz, s a beton kolosszusokat csak néhol törte meg egy parányi girbegurba macskaköves utca, amiket alacsony, régimódi lámpák szegélyeztek. Azonban ezúttal nem égtek lámpák, sőt immár ez volt a második hét áram nélkül. A sötétséggel pedig rémisztő csönd járt együtt, már-már kísértetiesen ellentmondva a vállára, közben lágyan keretezve rendszabályzatnak, ami kimondta, hogy tilos porcelánszerű arcát.

Eke Ruth IX.R

Ő/szintén boldogság

Szerintem két dolog kell a boldogsághoz: cél az életben és küzdés, hogy elérd. De a boldogság mindenkinek mást jelent, mert mindenkinek más a fontos: van, akinek egy fagyi vagy csoki, másnak a kedvenc focicsapatának a győzelme, mind- mind boldogságot okoz. Mivel mindenkinek mást jelent, magától értetődő, hogy a boldogsághoz vezető út is mindenkinek más. De mégis csak közös pont az, véleményem szerint, hogy boldog ember az, akinek van valami célja az életben. Akinek céljai vannak, annak értelmes az élete és tart valamilyen irányba, nem mellesleg, aki a céljai felé halad, az boldogabbnak és erősebbnek érzi magát. Mivel a boldogság egy nagyon tág fogalom, ezért szerintem különböző szempontok szerint kell megvizsgálni, például vallási, biológiai, filozófiai vagy, akár vagy egy kis figyelmesség, például az, hogy a pszichológiai szempontok szerint. padtársad épp megkínál csokival, vagy az, Én boldog vagyok, ha el tudok hogy az egyik barátod épp észreveszi, hogy mélyülni valamiben és meg tudok nyugodni, a levágattad a hajad és megdicséri. folytonos stresszből kicsit ki tudok lépni. Az apró dolgoknak is tiszta szívből Boldoggá tudnak tenni a szociális kell örülni. Tudom, hogy a boldogságot is kapcsolataim, vagyis a barátaim és a lehet fejleszteni,… persze először keresni családom, boldoggá tesznek az eredményeim, kell, viszont meg kell érteni, hogy a amit elérek, mert tudom, hogy fejlődőm és boldogság nem állandó és nem is tökéletes. legalább nem vagyok olyan mint egy befőtt. Néha nem kell ahhoz semmi különleges ok, Néha nem kellenek ilyen nagy dolgok sem, hogy jól érezd magad, egyszerűen csak ezért, mint az előzőek, elég csak pár apró élvezet mert élsz, egyszerűen, azért, mert így akarod.

The Krakow trip

As every year the X. grades went to Krakow and Auschwitz for a field trip. This takes 3 days and we went by bus because it is cheaper than the airplane. Sadly, from the 3 days of the trip every time 1 day is only the journey and the other 2 is the real purpose. We went away from Kolozsvár at 10 pm. and we arrived to Auschwitz-Birkenau at 10:30 am. It was not at all a boring road, and for the real goal we had to stay calm. The first attraction was the Auschwitz camps. In that camp were taken more than 6million of Jews in 1940. We visited the whole place what is as big as 500 football field. Some buildings were destroyed by the builders because they thought that if they destroyed it the people would think that there was nothing there, but this was a wrong idea. Some of the buildings remained in the good teammates. Afterwards we had free time original form, because of this we can know again, so knowing that everything was how it was there before.

The Student Council

At the beginning of the 9th grade a group of students came into our class and told us about the Student Council and how great it is to organize events in school. At first I didn’t want to try it, but somehow I changed my mind, and I went to the first meeting, and I didn’t regret it. At the first few meetings we played games that helped us to get to know each other better, because it is a really important thing if a group of people are working together all year long. In autumn we also spent a weekend together were we had a workshop and two lectures, one about Student Councils, and what we could do to make our school a better place, and one about further learning abroad. That weekend went amazing, because we created great memories, I made

27 new friends, and last but not least we learned For me the best part was in the year a lot of new things. was organizing the carnival ball, Being part of the Student Council is a unfortunately it was not held due to a tragedy, really great thing, because you get the but the preparation was still really good, opportunity to see what it is like to organize because everyone took part in it, some of us an event or a competition, to learn how to did the decoration, some of us made the make your school a better place, to learn your invitation and the poster, and some of us rights as a student, and to learn how to work organized the competition part of it. in a team. Until now if you haven’t been to any For me the Student Council was one Student Council meetings and you are of the best experience in 9th grade, because it interested in the things that I listed above, I helped me make new friends, and I learned a recommend it for you because I think you lot of new thing that they don’t teach in won’t regret it. It is a pretty good program school. It is a good feeling to be part of a with great people, and if you are hesitating community, full of people that are interested about it, just try it because at the beginning of in communication, organizing events and who the year I also wasn’t sure about it, but thanks want to make the students’ life better. to my friends I tried it, and now, a year later If you are a part of this it will take a I’m still thankful for that, because it opened little bit from your free time, but it will be up a whole new world for me, so don’t be shy worth it, because seeing your colleagues and try the Student Council, and help us make participate, and enjoying the things that you the students’ life better. did for them can make you really happy.

Mentoring programme in our school

I would like to outline my experience gathered while I was participating in a mentoring programme provided by our school. The actual project has great benefits for both parts. Last year I reached this volunteering work via The Duke of Edinburgh Award programme, which I think is well-known in our community. Mentoring other students has become a current voluntary work in the frame of our institution. The above mentioned idea is highly supported by teachers as well as by parents. I was given the choice to help two fifth-grade students to develop their Romanian language skills. I had hardly accepted the task, when I was inquired whether I wanted to give math lessons to a girl from the seventh grade. Having chosen the former duty, I had to refuse the latter one. The time you invest in this work is not Only when we started our lessons did I realize wasted, certainly this mission involves that the other alternative would have been beneficial functions in your own more appropriate for me. development. It is exhausting to stay for an If you wanted to undertake the extra hour in the school, while your mentioned activity, you would have to make classmates are resting at home. In addition sure you were capable to manage it properly. you get home late, usually with a large

The reason we looked at it last was because of its brightness, you wouldn’t be able to see anything else after that.

ESN – A great opportunity for every student

ESN (European School Network) is a student exchange project between 12 European countries, including 25 schools, which allows for students to travel to another country (alone or in a group) to see and even to experience how other students learn, or which kind of school activities they have. Exchange students can spend a whole week in a country they choose, at a host family. Moreover, ESN is a great opportunity for getting to know other cultures, for making new, distant friendships, and to learn languages too. The only prescription is to know English on a level that you are able to talk to people. Our school also takes part in this Hungary. We were really excited about the project.

My ESN experience

To begin with, I was asked to take part in the ESN project, in which exchange students arrived to our school and we had to accommodate them. My guest was a Turkish girl, called Pelin. Initially she should have been my classmate Boróka’s guest, but she is a boarding school student, so I offered to help. Looking back, I am glad that I made this unforgettable decision. My new friend landed on Saturday, early in the morning. My mother and I went to the airport and welcomed her. As soon as we got home we ate breakfast together and afterwards she went to sleep. The following day we met up with my friend who hosted a French girl and we visited the Răchițele waterfall. On Monday we went to school, where we had the opportunity to get to know other pupils from foreign countries, for instance France, Poland, Finland and Hungary. discovered the unknown truth about the latter On Tuesday the whole ESN group person. We spent the night in Brassó in went to Brassó to acquire knowledge about bungalows.

Since then, they have human and we should learn to accept others. become an unforgettable reminiscence to me As a result, my opinion is that ESN is and they will never fade into oblivion. worth trying. The above mentioned project is On Thursday and Friday, we visited so unique and the János Zsigmond Unitarian classes and participated in different activities.

You’ve probably heard about it already, if not, at least you must have seen the large poster right when you came into the school. This is a great opportunity for the students who want to host a foreign student. I personally hosted a Polish girl from Warsaw. All four Polish girls arrived on Saturday. Us, the hosts were very tense and nervous before we got to know them. None of us knew what to expect. This was my first ESN program in which I was the host.

In October we found out that we would go to Turkey with the 9th real class. We were so excited and we were already planning what we would do. By the time when the date was coming they gave us a paper with the exact program. On Sunday we set out to Turkey. The road took 24 hours including the little stops we had. When we were in the Olt valley we had to stop for about an hour because there was a horrible accident. The road was a little bit long, but we were having so much fun and that made the time seem so much less. After 24 hours of travelling we finally arrived to Istanbul. We had a little time to unpack before we went to discover the city. Primarily we visited the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern. We were so fascinated about the view, after that we had a free program and we could to anything we wanted. So my friends and I went to a restaurant called “Massa Bistro”, where we made a new friend who was the boss of that restaurant, he was so Tekirdağ. Our accommodation was near the friendly and gave us free teas. seaside. We had a chance to swim in the On the second day we went to the Marmora sea.

This summer the two 10th grades decided that we would like to go on a school trip to Istanbul. Not only because it is a one of the biggest cities in the whole word, but it has a different cultures and people there behave a little bit different (in a positive way). They are helpful and they like talking to tourists and asking them where they came from. Our way there was long and I was exhausted when we arrived. The traffic there was bad because it wasn’t even rush hour when we arrived but we still had to wait for the row to split. On the first day we were at the blue mosque where we had to take off our shoes, which was unusual for us. We saw how they were praying and I was amazed, because when we left I tried to imagine how they could pray, they were doing it in a different bridges in the whole world, we even had a way. Women were staying at the end of the bath in Asia. mosque and watching men praying. I was On the fourth day we went to upset because I saw that women didn’t have Tekirdağ (Rodostó) where we had a hotel the same rights that women have here in with a private beach.

49 The ideal festival

I think summer In my opinion is the favourite season there should me more for many people. In types of music festivals, summer the wheather is because not everyone like in a dream, likes electric and dubstep everyone is able to music. To a music festival wear shorts and T-shirts are invited mostly DJs, all day. But this is not not singers, but it would the only reason why be a great idea to create a summer is so excellent. festival with only the best There are a lot of things singers in the whole you can do, like world. But we can’t travelling, improving in forget about the early 70s your hobbies, meeting when someone invented with your friends, rapping and after that it hanging out in the city stared to grow as a new and for me one of the music style. How cool most important things is would be a rap festival, to participate in a wouldn’t it! festival. One of the most Nowadays, the festivals are a impressive things that a DJ can do at controversial topic, because of the festivals is crowd control, when everybody underage people, big crowd and drunk is jumping to the right or to the left, as the people. There are some dangers that DJ says, and another kind of crowd control everyone can avoid by simply paying is moving their hands up and down with attention. On festivals I don’t really like the phone’s lights, that is a unique one. the big crowd, because it is easy to get lost For dubstep music there are no in it. Besides this there are some people rules for dancing, everyone is just jumping that can swoon because of the crowd. all around and I think that’s the reason Anyways, I still love festivals and I shall why a lot of people do like this type of say some positive things and tips for them music, because they feel themselves in too. freedom. An unbelievable thing at festivals Firstly, there are some unwritten is when random people “team up” with rules for festivals that everyone knows. each other, so they make a circle and start One of these is to be respectful, so don’t to dance together, I should say jump and argue with anyone, enjoy the music. Try to shout together. This keeps you up all night, use your phone as little as it is possible, do but on the next day morning you will not record every song from every artist. In probably feel so tired. I think the ideal smaller festivals like the Vibe-festival it is festival for everyone does not exist an advantage that you know most of the because 7.5 billion people’s sense of music participants, you can meet with your is not the same. friends.

50 Two weeks in the Danube Delta

Last summer I went on a trip with my friends to the Daubes Delta. We thought that it would be fun if we went together because before this we did not go on trips this long. We traveled seventeen hours because we were carrying a boat with us. Before we arrived to Sulina we stayed one night in Tulcea because when we arrived there it was too late to get on a ferry and we were exhausted, but it was okay because we stayed at a very nice hotel with a pool and everything. That night we went out to see the Danube. Next morning, we got on a ferry and we traveled one hour until we arrived to Sulina. First thing when we arrived was to go plant life, because of the sheer number of to the house that we had rented and then we horses. The area is practically becoming a went to see where the Danube meets with the desert, but I think that the mayor wants to Black Sea. It was very interesting seeing transfer some of the horses to other places houses that were placed in imaginable places. because of the critical environmental change, When we wanted, we were able to swim in but now, in spite of the change it is still the Black Sea and if we wanted, in the beautiful.

We around with the boat to explore the delta, we were amazed about the fact that there saw a shipwreck and the locals said that there everyone woke up at five almost every day to is a gossip about treasures in the wrecks. We go fishing, and the other thing that amazed obviously did not believe them, still it was me was that it was very crowded. In that part interesting hearing these things. When we of the year Sulina was full of tourists, because weren’t exploring, we were almost every day not only the Danube and the Black Sea is on the beach. I was expecting that they would interesting there. There are many little be nasty because of the reputation of the villages across the delta and there is a famous Black Sea and because of the river, but it was forest called Letea near the Ukrainian border. pretty nice. On other days we went fishing The Letea forest is famous because of and that was cool too.

Juhos Dávid XI.R My Summer

The summer of 2019 was an incredibly good summer for me, I got the chance to do a lot of amazing activities such as going to festivals, working and a lot of other interesting things. Since for me, this was the last summer as a child, 12th grade is the last year of school and after that everyone will follow their own path and university summers are not going to be the same. In this amazing 3 months, I tried to have fun as much as possible, party a lot, spend time with friends a lot, but also to make some money. The summer started perfectly, since the Diáknapok was in its first week, an event that involves a large number of students between 9th and 12th grades. There are 30+ teams that have different names, logos, styles and they all have to participate in different sort of

52 activities, such as football, pc games, city tour As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve also and a lot more. Obviously, there are points to worked during the summer as a waiter in my collect that are going to add up at the end and parents’ restaurant. One of the reasons why I decide who the winner is. I was lucky enough chose to work is obviously the money, since with my team to win this year’s event, which by this age, everyone should have at least one was an incredible feeling and I am happy that summer job because if not, it’s going to be I could participate and feel the vibe of the city much harder when you get there to work on a during these 5 days. daily basis. The other reason why it was Every member of the winner teams worth it working, was self-improvement. receives a ticket for the annual Vibe festival, Working as a waiter taught me that, no matter however, almost everyone sells those since how smart you think you are or if you think they had already got tickets before we could you know everything regarding a topic, you get the one we won. Meanwhile, before the can always learn something from every single Vibe festival, 5 of my friends and I went to person you talk to, no matter what you’re Sopron, to the Volt festival, which was an talking about. Also, I got the chance to meet a amazing experience. We spent 2 days in the large number of interesting people while I capital of Hungary so we could taste the made money I could save or spend. nightlife of Budapest and also see the Otherwise, I tried to do as many funny characteristics of the city. and silly things this summer as I could. For After we spent a while there, we went instance, party for 4 days with my friends at to Sopron by train, which was a few hours our weekend house without stop or partying long trip, but it was worth it because the for a night, and then instantly going to the festival was amazing. This little travel was other side of the country without sleeping. something that everyone should try, even if These are all the stuff that are nonsense, but they are underage. We could solve this issue things that I will always remember for the rest because 3 of us were underage and 3 of us of my life. were not, so we could get approval from our This is why I could enjoy these few parents. Apart from that, everyone should try months, simply because I could do things that to travel, as much as possible when they are were pointless or stupid, and the only young, because this is the time when you question I asked myself was why not? Why most have the opportunity. not do things that other limited people don’t As soon as you get older you have want to do? People often step back and live a more responsibilities, more stuff to deal with boring life because they say why should I do and you won’t have that amount of time to this, it’s meaningless… Well, why not? If travel. It’s good to try yourself out, alone in there is nothing bad to happen, trust me, the the world, you may be surprised how much things you do randomly like this, are going to fun it is. be the things that you’ll always remember.

My summer

My last summer was unforgettable, because a with July came the Double Rise festival too. I lot of things changed my life. I tried many loved this festival because it was well new things, became more friendly, sociable organized, and it gave me the opportunity to and I felt have I reached my goals. meet with my old friends, and to make new When the summer vacation started, I ones too. didn’t know what to do. Without school and This year the festival was special to daily activities I was lost. But it all changed me, because I was more active than in the last when my friends took me out and we spent years. I tried everything that I could, and every night together. It was outstanding and because the number of participants was way

53 smaller than last years, for me the whole vibe confused. I wrote to my friends but they of it seemed more heart-to-heart. And beside didn’t tell me anything and said that I was just all of the programs in the daytime, I went to a imagining things and that everything would lot of concerts too, which were awesome.

It was really strange to me and right at the start I asked they if they were hiding something from me. They said that I was paranoid and foolish, but I felt that they weren’t telling me the truth. After dark we went to my friend’s home where they evidently wasted my time and I started to get nervous. I didn’t tell them anything, just followed them outside. We went to the ‘youngers’ room’ where my friends were waiting for me. When I entered the room, I couldn’t understand what had happened and why there were so many people there. I almost cried because all my important friends were there and my best friends gave The second thing that happened to me, me a big cuddle. It was very touching and I and which was the highlight of the summer, was euphoric. was a surprise party. My best friend decided The party was excellent and I danced to organize a party for me, because I didn’t all night with people who are important to want to organise one for myself. I went out me. After the party my flatmates came to my every evening with my best friends and we home and we continued to talk. We were played or just talked.

My vacation in Greece

Last summer I revisited a place that is very close to my heart, a place where my parents used to take me when I was little. This place is called Kassandra. I have always loved to swim. In summer I go swimming multiple times a week. My parents also loved swimming, so we mostly centered our vacations around swimming. As a kid my parents took me to many places

54 where I could swim. But wherever we went, swim in, on the other hand if it gets into your no place was like Kassandra. eyes or nose, it can really hurt. Kassandra a peninsula in Chalkidiki, The sea isn’t the only beautiful thing Greece. It was named after the ancient city about Kassandra. It also has beautiful towns Cassandreia, which was located near the with vibrant night life. After a long day of village.

My favourite beach is the fires around there. In the middle of summer, one near Afytos.

55 Revisiting Turkey As some of you might have read in the previous issue of “Cipó”, I visited Turkey in April as an opportunity offered by ESN program. A fact that I didn’t publish in the mentioned article was that my family and I had already booked our summer trip to Turkey, yet this time the destination was Alanya, not Istanbul. Alanya is a rather small town on the south coast of Turkey, known mostly for its luxurious, beach-side resorts, making it a touristic paradise. We arrived to Antalya by plane, then we were transported by a microbus to the hotel, ensured by the travel agency that also granted our accommodation. Overall, it was a four-hour journey from Kolozsvár to Alanya, as the duration of the bus ride and the flight was about equal. Reaching our destination, I was fascinated by the immediate response of staff, their incredible friendliness and the luxury we were surrounded by. However, the biggest element of surprise was the Mediterranean weather, that remained over 30 degrees even at the latest hours of the night. As our hotel was located on the beach and also owned a pool, with a bar next to each, we had endless time to swim and enjoy the available consumables. Three meals a day it’s a calcium-magnesium rock formation were granted and the in-between snacks. with an astonishing white color and natural, Everything was served with Swedish buffets, crystal-clear pools to “achieve eternal youth giving us the choice to be as choosy as we in”.

My drama: Concord Floral

When the vice-principal told us about the opportunity to be part of a theatre play it sounded quite interesting to me, but my friends weren`t fascinated, so I quit the idea quickly. A last minute call from one of my classmates on the last casting day changed the game plans and I applied because I thought the eleventh grade was the last year when I could try out something different, in a new field. Everybody had to make a five-minute video in which they had to speak about time we preformed the play from the themselves, about the topic of the project and beginning to the end and it didn’t go as the reasons why they wanted to apply.

My trip in the U. S. A.

This summer I got the chance to visit The United States of America, it’s like a dream come true. I always wanted to see every part of it and of course I dreamed a lot about living there. I felt excited when we arrived to the airport, then after a long trip I was standing on the streets of the USA, in New York City, which reminded me to my favorite series, Friends. We were staying in a town near NYC, in Trumbull. On our first day we needed a day for sleeping, but on the first day we went to the beach in Fairfield. The next day we visited the Grand Central, the Brooklyn Bride, Chinatown and Brooklyn. It was a good start for the vacation here. The next day we packed our bags and got on the bus to Philadelphia. I had a great time there too, the most memorable moments were the city tour. We mostly stayed at friends so we had a lot of fun. We used

60 bicycles to explore Riverside, a town near the Central Park, while eating ice cream, took Philadelphia. pictures of the Statue of Liberty from the Our next stop was Washington DC, ferry which was my personal favorite, and of where I saw a building of N.A.S.A. and in the famous Wall Street.

The opera can be fun!

Last time when a I went to the opera it was a really bad experience because the play was very boring and the plot was too complicated for me, so I couldn’t understand it and I decided that I would not go to the opera again. But three weeks ago, one of my friends asked me if a wanted to go to the opera, because there would be the premiere of the operatic drama called The Lombards on the First Crusade by Giuseppe Verdi, and he had tickets. I didn’t have a better program, so I decided that I would give it a try. Before I went to see the play, I read the plot which was about a family who lived in the 19th century. In the family there were two brothers, Arvino and Pegano, who hated each other because they fell in love with the same woman. The woman became Arvino’s wife, so Pegano because of his jealousy wanted to kill his brother. But he accidentally crusaders went to the Holy Land to recapture killed his father who slept in Arvino’s room, it. Unfortunately, Giselda, Arvino’s daughter so Arvino, who meanwhile became the leader was kidnapped and placed in a harem, where of the crusaders, banished him. she fell in love with the pagan leader’s son, Pegano became a hermit and lived in Oronte. Giselda started to feel better among exile, while Arvino with his family and the the pagans, but her father with the crusaders

I think that this plot is really exciting I really liked this play and it also and the scenery was even more interesting could prove that not all the operas are boring, and amazing. It looked like a huge photo there are some really interesting and exciting album and when the scene changed, the actors ones, which could be better than some films moved the scenery so it looked as if someone in the cinema, and while watching them you thumbed a real album. The actors sang can learn about the past and become more cultivated at the same time.

Choices

I dropped my pen which fell into oblivion, I lost the opportunity to look back. Now I am nowhere, In between the present and the catch of my own promises. But I could be elsewhere, Because I am a part of life, Such as you. Slowly, the white light will come in the room, And we will become equal again, You and me, me and you. And now, before the morning comes, A tear drops down on my face You remind me of something, But not of eternity or stability. I will be quiet and fast, I will remove you from the picture I painted in my head, Then it will be the best, When it does not matter that the concept of ideal does not exist We are not in a hurry anymore, But time will be. Zsigmond Hermina XII.H

Make a wish

Make a wish and don’t cry, Tell me your secrets and you will learn to fly, Give me your hands and take a deep breath, Give up your dreams and smile, And when we will be up in the sky, We will hug the stars, We will tell them to shy, To let us be the lights in the dark. And in the end, when we don’t have anything but our minds, We look down and become shooting stars. We will fall and we will rise, We will die to be reborn as hopeful sun. And when we burn up just keep in your mind, We were the darkness and the light, We lived and we died at the same time.

If I could…

If only I could visit The museum of your mind Wondering through each mosaic That’s a piece of delight A heart as wide as the world Filled with a Universe in bloom With the gentle warmth of the Sun And the mystery of the Moon Your words could cover hope Like a waterfall of colours Melting all together Like the night absorbs all shadows In the end just the taste of a dream Remains from a faded ballad A melody you could hear In a long forgotten palace When I get lost in your eyes Not even the sky seems to be far When I look up it reflects The depth of an ocean filled with stars I wish I could keep this time Frozen in my memory Like one of those rainy nights When you put your arms around me.

65 Just my thoughts

As I come to the world slowly I pray to God everyday on my knee Sometimes you will look back, Is your past empty, is it all black?

Autumn can be an adventure, not just a melancholic season, Go on your way, no matter what is the reason. You should be your own master, Even if the time is faster.

No one knows what will be the end of your way, All you need to do is just pray. Never forget to hope and believe, Always be happy for what you have achieved. Szekér Imola IX.R

Drawing Techniques

So I was dedicated to writing an article, however, I could not figure out the theme myself, so I asked my English teacher, what should I write about? After half a minute, he guessed that writing about drawing techniques should be helpful not just for me, but for my schoolmates whose love is great for drawing, however, they cannot really draw correctly. I did not want to accept it, because, sincerely it is a really boring and useless article theme. And so, after three days of figuring out the most interesting and worth- reading topic, I asked myself: why do pupils, 14-18-year-old teenagers want and most importantly, have to draw or create, something that is made up by other people’s ideas of perfect or correct? Many of us were taught how to think, when character and personality is still “under even if those individuals have a unique way construction”. of thinking. Same thing with drawing. Adults When this happens, older generations always suggest to the kids to be more consider the individual as troublesome, or creative, to have more fun with what they do, worse, problematic. Why can’t young people but expect their idea to appear, of the figure out how to draw the best way possible particular activity, which needs to be done. a line or a composition? Who are we to judge Because they were raised that way too. And a person’s creation, when all we do is criticize when one is forced in an indirect way to do everything unusual we see? something, he or she will do the exact Besides that, there were some famous opposite. Because nobody likes to be told painters who did not know how to draw, but what to do. Especially in such a young age, created valuable art pieces which are noted to 66 this day. As an example, Vincent Van Gogh about your drawing (and by this, I do not was almost entirely self-taught, he was bad at refer to constructive criticism), just put your drawing at first, neither did Albrecht Durer earphones in, and immerse in what you do, know how to draw correctly, not yet talking and how you do it. about Henri Rousseau... In the end, my best advice for drawing techniques would be to PS.( Because you must send a picture listen to somebody who knows the struggle of yourself, I chose this one, to prove that I and only use the advice YOU find accurate, always do what I think is the best for me, and because you create your art, nobody else. And not what is expected from me ). when somebody says something negative Ilyés Anna XII.H Never -based on true story-

THE FAT BURNING EFFECT OF CARDIO AND INTERVAL TRAINING

INTRODUCTION Let’s start with some concept clarifications. The names ‘aerobic’ and ‘anaerobic’ were firstly used for bacteria. The latter one referred to a bacterium which could survive without oxygen, while the former one to a bacterium which was not able to survive without oxygen. As time passed, humans started paying attention to their appearance, two training types were named after the above mentioned bacteria. The two types are distinguished by the heartbeat’s rhythm. Man’s maximum heart rate is 220/minute, but it’s mostly age dependent. For women it’s maximum 225/minute. When you are performing anaerobic training your pulse is higher than the maximum value’s 70%, on the contrary in the case of aerobic training it’s lower. For weight loss aerobic trainings are more effective, since during this type of action your afore mentioned reason is one of those in muscles receive their energy from burning the which the aerobic training helps. fast cells. During aerobic training muscles Aerobic training stimulates fat grow better, while anaerobic training is good burning, and encourages the liver to have a for our overall health. slower glycerin emission. It’s most effective PART I. when it’s performed for a longer time, since Aerobic training the body during the first 20-25 minutes of the Beside regular workout sessions and a training uses the glycerin spare to get energy well-planned diet our body needs a from, so it replaces the used energy from supplement, which is called aerobic training, carbohydrates. Our bodies start to use the which occurs with oxygen consume. During organism’s fat tissue only after 30 minutes, tempering we often feel that our body would this is why professors recommend performing be still capable of another set of exercises, but aerobic training at a medium level, so not too we just cannot do it. This mostly happens fast, and not too slow, and for a minimum of because our veins are not wide enough. The 35-40 minutes.

A smaller value is recommended to pay attention also not only to our physical for limbering-up. health, but also to mental health and to the Anaerobic training target which needs to be achieved. This type Besides the fact that anaerobic of training gives a thoroughly strict feed-back training befalls without enough oxygen, to the performer, while it is undemanding to intensive muscle work is happening, that is observe the bodies change, and in addition it why this type of workout could be done only develops the stamina and the balance tears, at for a short period of time, and numerous the same time it quickens fat burning. pauses are recommended.

WORK SESSION Interval training I would like to carry out the above Professors, dieticians, medics all presented idea in 3 months, with the help of recommend the proper combination of 30-30 volunteers, all of them being from the aerobic and anaerobic training modes. The 20-25 age group. It is also important for all of training type created by this combination, is them to have the same diet, that is why my named interval training, which originates choice was the calorie-counting diet, since dates back to the II. World War, it was this would not influence the volunteers’ developed for athletics. Its denomination weight. The subjects’ workout time/week originates from the word ‘interval’, whose depends on their option. If they choose meaning is section. The name could not be cardio, they will exercise 4 times 1 more adequate, as the training’s main idea is hour/week. If they choose interval, they will the alteration of the load and rest times, where exercise 4 times half an hour/week. Since the the resting is an active process. training levels must be the same, all of them Interval training could be made will exercise on medium level. considering three criteria:

Fighting in every second for ourselves

I am thinking about some special moments from life and things that happen, sometimes bad, sometimes good. But one single thing that is assured is that without work the success will not come, NEVER. We can think now about just of our life, or everything else. Actually now I’m thinking about the sport life. Every sport has different dangers, but to be the best you have to risk, sometimes much more than you have ever thought. That risk sometimes is much bigger than you think. But imagine that moment, when you have won something and you know that, you have done for it everything as possible, that moment makes your life much better. Of course the risk means that you can hurt yourself, but that hurt is just temporary. And you have to decide. You can do just for fun different sports, or you can pick one and do it for loving it. (That is not just about the Every second, every minute, every, sport, we can look around ourselves. There hour, day and year is a chance to do what you are few people who do that job which they want seriously. My opinion is that those love.

Nonetheless, it wasn’t a hard challenge for me, in my opinion the easiness of comprehending the plot made the book more unique. The novel is classified as a psychological thriller, fantasy and police procedural. The story is set in Cambridge, but it is a whole different world. As the consequence of a specific protein, the human brain lost the ability of long distance memory.

This is about a girl, Daelyn, who She got to know a boy, who fell in love with wanted to die. She tested many suicidal her immediately, as he noticed her. Daelyn experiments before, which didn’t have any felt uncomfortable about the situation, results. One of these had a bad end, she because she had never had friends before. She felt like everything was her fault, and she decided to commit suicide. Neither the boy nor her parents were able to change her mind. The book has a strange ending: the girl was lying in the bath tub and she wanted to drown herself in water, being at home alone. The end of the book is open, the author lets the reader to think about how it could end. Anything depends on the reader, because there are some who have faith in life, but some think that the girl died. Personally, I think it was a great book, because it tested the reader’s thinking, if they are optimists or pessimists. I recommend this book to those who have no limits, and who like to think about important topics.

Is reading beneficial?

Opinions on this front vary from definite agreement to definite opposition. For some this is a fact they have been told since childhood which they accept as true but can’t support it with arguments. Some people aren’t concerned about this issue at all and they don’t have an opinion. But is reading really beneficial? Firstly, reading can be considered as learning, even though when you do it you don’t feel like you’re learning anything new at all, since anyone above the age of 6 can read. But when you’re reading a novel or anything at all in a foreign language or even your maternal language, you constantly encounter new words and phrases.

81 Of course, learning foreign languages particular book or to read at all. Reading or literature isn’t everyone’s main objective, should come to you naturally and you should but whatever your interest may be, I’m sure enjoy the book you choose and not consider it someone has written a book about it a struggle to finish. There’s no point in somewhere. I’m not saying everyone should forcing yourself to do an activity which was read one book per week or have reading as meant for entertainment. their main priority, but reading a book from So all in all I encourage everybody to time to time is essential as it benefits your read, just make sure you choose a book vocabulary and spelling without you even according to your interests, because reading noticing it. boring books can alter your whole take on But the types of book you read matter. reading.

He lives admit that I have been very excited with his mother and they both turn about this movie because I have out to be mentally ill people. Joker, heard a lot of positive reviews about or better known as Arthur Fleck it. Other than that I knew that it was worked as a clown for one of the most expensive films in advertisement purposes, but he also the world to make, so it had to be a was and wanted to be a part-time great one. With these arguments in comedian. His life is always mind I went to the cinema to see it endangered by his health issues. last weekend, and in retrospect I At the beginning of the film, have to say that I did not regret it by Fleck’s life is presented as an any means. exceedingly difficult one. He is In the beginning the story seemed to fired from his job and beaten up by some develop rather slowly, but progressively it unrespectful individuals. These actions light made it into quite a complex storyline. The up his anger and make him act strangely and main character of the film is Joker, who is a aggressively in front of other people. This

86 part of the film was where I felt sorrow for filled city laughing and greeting the others, as him, because more and more unfortunate a dictator of some sort. In the end a voice things happened to him. Joker also finds out explains that Fleck’s goal in life always was that he was adopted and he makes fun of to show people how difficult his life was and himself before thousands of people on a TV he only wanted equality. show. Without a doubt, this film was the strangest one I have ever seen, nevertheless I enjoyed it very much. The storyline alters from the usual ones, because in this case the main character is a negative one from most points of view. In addition, the actor, Joaquin Phoenix plays Joker in such a life-like fashion, you can not even tell the story is fake. This fact makes this movie exceptionally unique besides all the others. In my opinion, the film does not necessarily have a negative ending, it just presents the problems of our society in a very straightforward way, which might cause some emotional issues for some viewers. Some movie critics suggested the removal of the film from cinema canvases because of this problem, but I totally disagree with them! We need such presentations of human errors, Fleck, because of his anger, shoots his because this is the only way we can boss and some other aggressive people in the experience what an ill person sees with his underground, after which his face is posted all eyes. This film resembles the above over the newspapers, thus he becomes a mentioned situation exceedingly well from dangerous person. More and more poor my point of view. people follow his revolting actions in the city In conclusion, I have to say that this and a “poor pople’s clown revolution begins”, movie is a very “heavy” one, by that I mean it with Joker in the front. The whole city is needs some time to get understood integrally. burning by this point, clown-masked people The true meaning of it differs between take over it. The movie ends with the picture viewers. It definitely has changed my point of of Joker, now exceedingly famous amongst view about different people and how they the poor, standing in the middle of the chaos- might see the world we live in.

My favourite band: The White Stripes

music in my eyes, and I still hope that they are going to make a reunion for an album or something. My favourite White Stripes song is the Hardest button to button. The title is a metaphor for the outcast of the family, the one that was different from the bunch. Jack has a coat where the very top button was always the hardest one to button, that gave him the idea for the title. He also says that it's The White Stripes were an American related to a phrase his dad always used to say: rock band formed in Detroit. They are my So and so "had a 10 button vest but could personal favourite from that period (1997…) only fasten 8." Someone described it a bit off because their music is not for everyone, and mentally basic. This song is very deep, it’s you have to understand the meaningful lyrics. full of feelings. The group was composed of drummer A White Stripes song always has a place in Meg White, and songwriter Jack White, who were previously married but now are divorced. Their music featured a melding of garage rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. It’s a nice surprise from a relatively new band, this kind of demanding music. Their most famous song is Seven Nation Army. Seven Nation Army is the first track on the album, Elephant, which was released by The White Stripes in 2003. The song is about revenge, anger and ultimately seeking peace of mind. Jack White says a "seven nation army" cannot hold him back from getting his revenge on those that have wronged him. Jack White is a very talented my heart. songwriter, and I like how he thinks about this world. They were the perfect duo in

Tanzen, tanzen, tanzen...

Hallo, Ich bin Sandor Zsolt und mein Hobby ist der Sporttanz. Ich tanze seit meinem vierten Lebensjahr. Ich gehe wöchentlich viermal zum Training und ein Training dauert zwei Stunden. Wir lernen Standard- und Latino-Tänze, zum beispiel Walzer, Quickstept, Tango, Wienishe Walzer, Samaba, Cha-Cha, Rumba und Jive. Ich gehe zu Wettbewerben und da sammle ich Punkte. Das hilft mir, ich kann in die höhere Kategorie wechseln. Ich tanze zurzeit in der E Kategorie, hier konkuriere ich mit sechs Tänzern. Um ein guter Tänzer zu sein, muss man ein gutes Ohr für Musik haben, den Rhythmus spüren, viel Arbeit und Disziplin. Ich empfehle jedem den Sporttanz! Sándor Zsolt Szilárd V. A

102 Mein Lieblingslager

Mein Lieblingslager ist ein Kunstlager, genannt ‘ArtZ Összművészeti Találkozó‘. Das ist ein Camp, in dem alle Künste präsent sind: Malerei/Grafik, Musik, Fotografie, Slam Poetry, Volkstanz, Volkslied, Kunsthandwerk, Theater, Kreatives Schreiben und Gedicht Spruch. In diesem Sommer war ich zum dritten Mal in diesem Lager. Ich mag dieses Camp, weil es nicht wie die andere Camps ist. Jeder schläft im Zelt, es gibt interessante Vorträge und Aktivitäten für alle Arten von Kunst und viele Künstlerseelen sind an einem Ort. Ich fühle mich immer gut in diesem Lager, weil ich andere junge Leute kennenlernen kann, die Kunst lieben und ich kann ihre Kreationen sehen. Das Beste war am diesjährigen Camp, dass ich mich mit meinen Freunden treffen konnte, die ich vor langer Zeit gesehen habe und es war toll, dass meine Bilder anderen gefallen haben. Wir hatten viel Spaß und lachten zusammen, ich kann es kaum erwarten, wieder bei ihnen zu sein!

Tae-kwon-Do Jeden Dienstag und Mittwoch gehe ich zu Taekwon-do. Das ist eine koreanische Kampfunkst. Die Betendung des Worter: der Fuss- und Hand-Kampf-Kunst. Ich habe jetzt den roten Gürtel, aber nächstes Jahr mache ich Prüfung für den schwarzen Gürtel. Ich gehe in All Motion Team. Zwei Gruppen sind hier: Forgreschrittene und Anfänger. Taekwon-Do ist mein Hobby. Szőke Dora VI. A Erfahrung und Wissen

Wir lernen von Geburt an, wir versuchen die Besten zu sein. Sport ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür. Trainiere, um der Beste zu sein und kämpfe, um von anderen geachtet zu werden! Der 21.-sten Jahrhundert ist ein perfektes Beispiel dafür. Leider entstehen Kampfkünste nicht aus Spiritualität, sodern aus Konkurrenz. Trotz allem, was es bedeutet, ein Krieger zu sein, brechen einige Leute diesen wirklich prestigeträchtigen Rang und diese Ehre. Die Welt hat so viele talentierte und umkämpfte Krieger, dass das Kämpfen nicht wirklich ein Kampf ist, sondern ein Cent. Wer hat die beste Unterstützung, welche Art von Unternehmen unterstütze ich, wen und wie lange habe ich trainiert ... das ist traurig für mich als Neuling zu sehen. Ich habe 12 Jahre Erfahrung in sechs Motomotoren und 18 Halbkampfkünsten, die mir von Meistern mit der gleichen Einstellung gegeben wurden. Viele Menschen suchen nicht nach einem physischen und mentalen Gleichgewicht, sondern wollen nur eine physische Beziehung herstellen, und in diesem Fall vergessen sie das japanische BUDO. Die oben erwähnte Bedeutung des BUDO ist nicht nur auf japanisch, sondern überall als ein Wort der Ehre und Wertschätzung, ein Konzept, eines Menschen, weise bekannt. Wir haben nur wenige, die nicht konkurrieren, aber in der Lage sind, zu erwerben und dann den Schülern ein Gefühl der Sicherheit und des Respekts zu vermitteln. Ob es sich um Karatekarol, Kung Fu Warrior oder noch jemand handelt, Respekt ehrt ihn, weil er jeden Tag trainieren und trainieren muss, um jemandem so viel Erfahrung zurückzubringen.

Freiwilligenarbeit

In diesem Sommer hatte ich die Möglichkeit als Freiwilliger in einem Kinderlager mitzuhelfen. Das Lager wurde von der örtlicher Gemeinde organisiert und hatte ein religiöses Thema. Der Priester bat mich, mitzuhelfen, auf die Kinder aufzupassen, zu spielen und mit ihnen zu singen. Am ersten Tag des Lagers lernten wir uns kennen. Wir planten das Wochenprogramm und begannen, uns Notizen und Briefe zu schreiben. Es war ein guter Anfang! Während der Woche, in der wir aus der Bibel gelernt haben, haben wir zusammen schöne Lieder gesungen, viel gespielt und Spaß gehabt ... Das i-Tüpfelchen war am Freitag. Wir haben einen Ausflug in den Zoo organisiert. Alle Kinder waren voller Begeisterung. Sie liefen um die Tiere herum, sie lachten, lächelten, sie schienen wirklich glücklich zu sein. Das war unser Ziel und wir haben es erreicht! Auf dem Heimweg erzählten sie im Bus ihre Erlebnisse aus dem Zoo, und sie waren begeistert. Diese Woche bedeutete für mich neue Herausforderungen, viele Erinnerungen und eine tolle Zeit in der Umgebung von Kindern.

Molnár Margaréta-Boróka XI.H Wünsch dir was

Wünsch dir was und weine nicht, Erzähle mir deine Geheimnisse und lerne fliegen, Gib mir deine Hände und atme tief, Gib deine Träume und Lächeln auf, Und wenn wir oben am Himmel sind, Wir werden die Sterne umarmen, Wir werden ihnen sagen, dass sie glänzen sollen, Um uns die Lichter in der Dunkelheit zu lassen. Und am Ende wenn wir nichts anderes als unseren Verstand haben, Wir schauen nach unten und werden zu schießenden Stras. Wir werden fallen und wir werden aufstehen, Wir werden sterben, um als hoffnungsvolle Sonne wiedergeboren zu werden. Und wenn wir verbrennen, denken Sie einfach daran, Wir waren die Dunkelheit und das Licht, Wir lebten und starben gleichzeitig. Filip Borostyán XII. H

Pass auf dich auf!

Ich war ein Kind immer mit viel Energie und wenn jemand eine schlechte Idee hatte, etwas zu tun, habe ich es gemacht. Meine Eltern haben gesagt, dass ich auf mich aufpassen muss. Ich habe sie

105 immer zugehört und danach habe ich gemacht was ich wollte. Zudem habe ich mein Bein und meinen Arm gebrochen. Auf diesem Grund und nach zwei Operationen habe ich meine Meinung geändert. Dieses Jahr bin ich mit meiner Familie nach Thassos gefahren. Es war ein sehr guter Ausflug, wenn ich den letzten Tag nicht in Betracht ziehe. Wir waren in einem großen Hotel am Strand, haben ein paar Buggys gemietet und jeden Tag andere Strände besucht. Ich hatte zwei Lieblingsorte, die verschiedene Arten von Stränden waren. Die erste war die LA SCALA, die teuerste Küste in Thassos. Die zweite war die Giola-Lagune, eine wilde Küste, wo sich in einem zehn Meter hohen Felsen befand. Ich sprang von dort ins Wasser. Am letzten Tag, als wir unser Frühstück gegessen haben, bin ich in den Pool gesprungen, weil das Wetter sehr heiß war. Als ich ins Wasser fiel, habe ich ein Geräusch gehört und eine Minute lang nichts gesehen. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich aus dem Pool gekommen bin. Ich habe gedacht, dass das Wasser in mein Ohr geflossen ist, aber nach drei Stunden hatte ich das gleiche Problem und dann ist mir klar geworden, dass ich bald eine Operation haben werde. Ich dachte, dass die schlimmsten Dinge für diesen Tag zu Ende gegangen sind, aber am Abend musste ich in den Krankenhaus fahren, weil ich eine Lebensmittelvergiftung bekommen habe. Nachdem ich nach Hause gekommen war, bin ich ins Krankenhaus gegangen, wo ich mich einer sehr schmerzhaften Operation unterziehen musste. Jetzt kann ich ein Jahr lang nicht mehr mit dem Flugzeug fliegen. Auf diesem Grund versprach ich mir, dass ich auf mich aufpassen werde. Nach der ersten Woche der Operation spürte ich die Nachteile nicht. Aber als meine Freunden zur Transalpina gefahren waren, hat mein Arzt gesagt, dass ich zu Hause bleiben muss. Ich war sehr wütend auf mich selbst. Auch als die Schule wieder angefangen hat, konnte ich nicht mit meinen Klassenkameraden Fußball spielen.

ES: Kapitel 2 – Meinung

ES: Kapitel 2 ist ein neuer, amerikanischer Horrorfilm. Ich habe den Film im Kino, vor zwei Wochen gesehen. Er beginnt sieben und zwanzig Jahre nach dem ersten ES Film. Es gibt ein Festival in Derry und zwei Freunde sind angegriffen bei einer Gruppe. Ein Junge fällt in einem Fluss und Pennywise, der Clown, isst er. Das bedeutet dass Es zurück ist. Mike, ein Mann aus der Verliere Gruppe, liest vom Tod von des Jungen. Er ruft Stan, Beverly, Bent, Richie, Eddy und Bill zurück in Derry, so sie können Pennywise nochmal töten. Sie sind jetzt Erwachsene und haben Derry und Pennywise vergessen. Aber Stan merkt was passiert da and tötet sich, weil er glaubt, dass es seine Freunde hilft. Danach sind sie in Derry zurück gekommen, sie merken was passiert. Sie wollen Pennywise nochmal besiegen. Aber es nicht einfach ist. Denken an die Vergangenheit ist schwierig und sie alle möchten nach Hause gehen und ihr Leben fortsetzen. Mike will sie aufhalten. Schnell realisiert er, dass sie nicht verlassen können, aber sie können etwas wichtiges opfern, wenn sie Pennywise töten können? Seht den Film an, so du könnt ihr das herausfinden! Ich glaube, du sollst den Film im Kino sehen, weil da 4DX Filme sein. 4DX addiert zu Horror und Komik, dass der Film hat. ES: Kapitel 2 ist ein interessanter Film und hat alle was ein Horrorfilm haben kann. Du kannst lachen, weinen und natürlich, Angst bekommen, wenn du Es siehst. Ich denke dass alle sollen ES: Kapitel 2 und den ersten Film auch sehen. Kis Áron XI.R

106 Mehrsprachigkeit: ja oder nein?

Was bedeutet eigentlich der Begriff “Mehrsprachigkeit”? Mehrsparchigkeit ist die Fähigkeit eines Menschen, mehr als eine Sprache zu verstehen oder zu sprechen. Aber welche sind die Vorteile der Mehrsparchigkeit? Ich perönlich glaube, dass es ein wunderbares Ding ist, wenn man immer mehrere Sprachen kennt oder beherrscht. Beispielweise, wenn man eine Reise macht, kann man einfacher kommunizieren. Hinsichtlich der Arbeitsoportunitäten gibt es auch Vorteile. Meiner Meinung nach, findet man einfacher einen Arbeitsplatz oder einen Job, wenn man mehr als eine Sprache kennt. Ich finde es sehr gut, dass wir in unserer Schule vier Sprachen (wie Rumänisch, Ungarisch, Englisch und Deutsch) lernen. Diese Tatsache hat mir sehr viel geholfen. Ich bin sehr viel mit meiner Familie gereist und ich habe bemerkt, dass ich im Ausland einfacher kommuniziere und vielleicht auch Freunde mache. Es gibt aber Menschen, die leider die Mehrsprachigkeit als eine negative Tatsache sehen. Sie glauben dass für die Kinder ermüdend oder stressig sein kann, viele Sprachen zu lernen. Es ist wahr, dass manche Kinder die Fremdsprachen ziemlich schwierig lernen, deswegen kann es stressig scheinen. Aber ich glaube, dass trotzdem es schwer scheint, eine neue Sprache zu lernen, geht es um die Entwicklung einer Person. Und unsere Entwicklung spielt immer eine wichtige Rolle in unserem Leben. Am Ende möchte ich wieder die Bedeutung der Mehrsprachigkeit in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft unterstreichen. Meiner Meinung nach, soll man unbedingt diese Idee der Mehrsprachigkeit immer mehr berühmter machen. Kardos Zalán X.H

Urlaub

Wir alle wissen, dass Urlaub der am meisten erwartete Moment aller Studenten ist. Der Urlaub gibt jedem wertvolle Freizeit, die er mit seinen Lieben verbringen kann, um Spaß zu haben oder sich auszuruhen, einen schönen Schlaf haben. Der am meisten erwartete Urlaub war für mich der Sommer Urlaub, weil es der längste Urlaub ist und ich viel Zeit habe, um zu tun, was ich will. An den meinsten Feiertagen blieb ich ausgeruht zu Hause. Ich war schon oft beim Fußball und habe meinen Lieblingssport gespielt. Ich war noch im Lager, wo viele Leute waren und ich hatte eine tolle Zeit. Am Ende des Urlaubs war ich mit meiner Familie und einigen Freunden in Ungarn. Dort nahm ich ein Bad und besuchte die Stadt, in der ich war. Diese Sommerferien vergingen sehr schnell, als waren es ein paar Tage Urlaub, aber tatsachlich vergingen drei Monate mit einer erstaunlichen Geschwindigkeit. Die Schule hat begonnen, ein paar Tage sind vergangen und ich bin schon müde, ich möchte nicht einmal wissen, wie es am Ende des Jahres sein wird, aber bis dahin freue ich mich auf die nächsten Ferien.

107 Sommer in Budapest

In diesem Sommerferien war ich in Budapest. Dort habe ich die Militärparade gesehen. Ich habe alle Arten von Fahrzeugen gesehen. Flugzeuge, Schiffe und sogar Hubschrauber. Sie machten Tricks, sie flogen über die Donau, bewegten das Wasser und tanzten in der Luft. Einige Männer sprangen aus einem Flugzeug und versuchten, auf dem Block zu landen, der sich auf dem Wasser befand. Sie sind alle sicher gelandet. In diesen Sommerferien war ich in Budapest.

Einige Männer sprangen aus einem Flugzeug und versuchten, auf dem Block zu landen, der sich auf dem Wasser befand. Sie sind alle sicher gelandet. Nachts gab es Feuerwerk und Musik. Später in dieser Woche besuchte ich Vác und dort sah ich Mumien. Sie starben an der Pest, aber wegen des Ortes, an dem sie begraben waren, wurden sie Mumien. Ich bin sogar ins Kino gegangen, aber der Film war enttäuschend, deshalb werde ich nicht darüber sprechen. Ich habe es wirklich genossen, dort zu bleiben. Ich wünschte, ich könnte nächstes Jahr wiederkommen. Czimbalmos Erik XI.R

Meine Sommerferien

Meine Sommerferien hat sehr gut angefangen. Wir waren mit unserer Klasse in Mărișel, weil einer unserer Klassenkameraden dort ein Ferienhaus hat. Wir haben zwei Nächte und drei Tage dort verbracht. Wir haben uns sehr darauf vorbereitet. Wir chatteten oder wir hatte Videochat, um zu besprechen was wir brauchen. Wir beschlossen Geld für Essen und Getränke zu sammeln, und einige von uns meldeten sich freiwillig zum Einkaufen. Wir begannen unsere Reise am 28. Juni um die Mittagszeit. Wir haben mit Autos in Gruppen gereist. Wir waren von der Schönheit des Ortes erstaunt. Es gab Ruhe und frische Luft. Wir packten aus und entschieden wo wir schlafen werden. Dann begann die Party. Wir tanzten mit lauter Musik, so dass die Wände bebte. Wir haben auch Gruppenspiele gespielt.Wir setzen uns zum Essen und teilten die mitgebrachten Köstlichkeiten. Für mich war es eine Erfahrung, es war eines der besten Dinge, die mir in diesem Sommer passiert sind. Wir haben uns besser kennengelernt. Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Ausflug.

Boarding Tour

In diesem Jahr fand die Boarding Tour am 11. und 12. Oktober statt. Wir reisten am Freitagmorgen ab und kamen am Samstagabend nach Hause. Wir sind nach Székelyjó gefahren und haben den ganzen Tag getan, was wir wollten. Sie könnten dort eine Menge Dinge tun. Es war ein Schwimmbad, Billard, Tischtennis, ein Fußballfeld und vieles mehr. Das Essen war eher ein Kurs,und sehr lecker. Am Samstagmorgen wurden wir mit einem riesigen großen Buffet begrüßt. Nach dem Frühstück gingen wir zum Feketetó und schauten dort herum und machten einige Einkäufe. Wir trafen uns zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt und fuhren zurück nach Kolozsvár. So war die diesjährige Boarding Tour. Szatmári István XI.R

Mein Lieblingsort: Homorod

Schon Ende Mai stellt meine Mutter einen großen Korb in den Flur. In dem Korb sammeln wir die nötigen Sachen für Homorod. Wir legen einmal ein Messer, einmal einen Rubik- Würfel oder Putzmittel. Also alles was uns einfällt, was wir in Homorod brauchen werden. Wir verbringen nämlich den ganzen Sommer dort. Homorod liegt in den Bergen. Wir haben dort eine Hütte. Es ist toll, dass unsere Hütte auf der Bergspitze liegt. Stell dir vor, man kann nicht mal mit dem Auto dorthin fahren. Wir lassen unser Auto unten im Dorf, wir nehmen unser Gepäck und wir tragen alles nach oben. Weil wir wenige Sachen dort haben, bringen wir alles mit: Bettwäsche, Schlafsäcke, Bergschuhe, Lebensmittel und Vieles mehr. Deshalb sammeln wir schon im Mai, was wir brauchen. Das ganze Jahr warten wir für diese Reise. Viele von den Freunden und Bekannten fragen uns was wir an Homorod mögen. Sie fragen auch ob wir uns nicht langweilen. Was können wir drei Monate in den Bergen machen, ohne Fernseher, ohne Zivilisation? Wir haben nicht einmal ein Bad, die Toilette ist draußen in dem Garten. Aber jetzt erzähle ich euch was an Homorod so fantastisch ist: es ist still, wir haben keine Nachbarn, wir sehen viele Wildtiere (Füchse, Bären, Rehen, Hasen, aber auch Wildschweine), die Vögel singen, wir haben Quellwasser und es gibt viele Sterne. Wenn ihr Lust habt auf Stille und pure Natur, geht in die Berge, geht raus aus der Stadt und habt viel Spaß in der Natur! Tánczos Dorottya IX.H ESN in Deutschland Dieser Sommer war einer der besten meines Lebens. Neben vielen anderen Erlebnissen, machte das ESN Austauschprogramm den Sommer besonders toll. Das Projekt fand in Deutschland in einer kleinen Stadt, namens Zülpich, in der Nähe von Köln statt. Von unserer Schule nahmen 4 Schüler und ein Lehrer daran teil. Wir sind mit einem Flugzeug früh morgens dorthin geflogen und als wir angekommen sind, sind wir alle zu den Gastfamilien gefahren. Ich war der einzige Junge, der ein Mädchen als Gastgeberin hatte. Ihr Name war Dilara und sie war die ganze Zeit sehr nett. Ich bin sehr dankbar für sie. Außer uns waren auch noch andere Gruppen von Spanien und Frankreich da, mit denen wir uns sehr gut verstanden haben. Das Projekt ging fünf Tage lang, die voller Spaß waren. Wir haben Stehpaddeln auf einem See gemacht, Baseball gespielt, ein paar Museen besucht und viel Zeit mit unseren neuen Freunden und deren Familien verbracht. Am letzten Tag bevor wir wieder Nachhause flogen, haben wir einen tollen Freizeitpark, der Phantasialand heißt, besucht. Er war sehr groß und modern, nicht zu vergleichen mit denen die wir hier in Rumänien haben. Obwohl ich Achterbahnen und die ganzen anderen Sachen hasse, haben Dilara und ihre verrückte Freundin Yakira mich dazu gebracht, alles auszuprobieren. Danke dafür Mädchen. Am nächsten Tag mussten wir uns voller Trauer von unseren Deutschen und Spanischen Freunden verabschieden und flogen zurück nach Klausenburg. Ich habe neue starke Freundschaften geschlossen, tolle Erinnerungen gesammelt und habe mich die ganze Woche über bestens gefühlt. Das war einer der besten Ausflüge meines Lebens.

109 Kindheit

Als ich ein kleinen Kind war, mochte ich ein Polizist sein. Ich habe die Polizisten immer respektiert. Ich habe an allen Treffen mit Polizisten teilgenommen. Einmal hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mich wie ein echter Polizist zu verkleiden, was eine meiner größten Kindheitserinnerung ist. Ich war froh, wenn ich in einem Polizeiauto sitzen oder ihre Waffen ausprobieren konnte. Ich wollte immer die Räuber fangen und der Held sein. Wenn ich also mit meinen Freunden spielte, war ich immer auf der richtigen Seite. Ich hatte immer das Gefühl, dass es notwendig ist, den Menschen zu helfen, die Hilfe brauchten. Und ich wollte auch die Wahrheit liefern. Ich habe beschlossen, dass ich, wenn ich groß bin, ein erfolgreicher Polizist werde, der alles für seine Arbeit, für sein Land und für seine Zukunft tut. Ich wünschte, meine Eltern und Freunde wären sotz auf mich und würden meine Wahl zustimmen.

Lerntechniken

Ich spiele gern am Computer. Mein Lieblingsspiel ist “Counter Strike: Global Offensive“. CS: GO ist basiert auf Taktik und darum muss ich Sprachchat verwenden, weil ich mit meinen Kameraden kommunizieren muss. Meistens spiele ich mit Deutschen, Russischen und Englischen Spieler, darum muss ich eine Sprache sprechen, die sie auch verstehen. Ich kann dadurch, dass ich mit anderen Spieler mitspiele, die Sprache besser Lernen, indem ich mit ihnen oft unterhalte. Es ist auch eine gute Übung für mich, einen sehr guten Freund zu haben, der eine deutsche Schule besucht und mit dem ich manchmal Deutsch spreche. Diese beiden helfen mir schon sehr, und ich liebe Deutsch sowieso. Ich übe sogar Deutsch, indem ich deutsches Radio, deutsche Musik höre. Diese Lerntaktiken sind meine Lieblingslerntaktiken. Vremir Bence IX.H

Der Richtpunkt

So wie, in die morgendlich chaotisch Haare Der abendliche Traum von gestern stecken bleiben. So wie, deine Hand nach die morgendlich Kaffee rührt Und du zu heisses Wasser Musik tanzt, das ist mir Egal! So wie, du das Fenster aufmachst, Danach hören wir den Lebensrhythmus. So wie, du dein Seidel auf dem Tisch vergisst Und allein in die grosse, weite Welt aussteigt... So wie, die Stadt dich schnieft Ein kleiner Betrag du dich umsiehst, und ist es alles bekannt. Du bist zur Wohnort angekommen du, Tourist.

110 Zusammenleben

Dies ist das vierte Jahr, in dem wir in Cluj zur Schule gehen. Vor zwei Jahren zogen wir aus dem Internat aus. Wir zogen zusammen mit meiner Freundin aus, weil wir gute Freundinnen sind. Unsere Eltern haben uns kaum erlaubt, uns schon zu bewegen. Aber wir haben unsere Eltern überzeugt. Wir waren sehr aufgeregt. Wir wissen, dass es eine große Verantwortung ist, denn es gibt viele Gefahren in der Welt. Aber wir wussten, wir würden alle in Ordnung sein. Bevor wir ausgezogen sind, gingen wir einkaufen. wir kauften wichtige Dinge, das heißt Haushaltsgegenstände. Danach haben wir die notwendigen Dinge mitgenommen. Die erste Nacht war seltsam, wir konnten nicht schlafen. Wir fühlten immer noch nicht die Wärme des Hauses. Langsam jedoch sind wir gewöhnt. Schon heute fühlt sich wie zu Hause an, wenn wir nach der Schule nach Hause gehen. Es ist sehr gut, dass wir zusammen leben. Wir sind beste Freunde, wir helfen einander in allem. Die Hausaufgaben schreiben zusammen. Wenn einer von uns etwas nicht versteht, dann sind wir füreinander da. Wir lachen, wir haben Spaß. Aber zur gleichen Zeit, eine Reihe von Schwierigkeiten, die wir gemeinsam zu lösen haben. Das Zusammenleben hat mir geholfen, mich und uns gut kennenlernen. Deshalb sind wir bessere Freunde geworden. Wir haben gelernt, aufeinander können wir immer zählen. Wir hatten eine Menge freie Zeit, die wir haben, und das ist die, die wir gut verwenden. In dieser Zeit gehen gemeinsam einkaufen, oder verbringen wir unsere Zeit einfach nur als Freunde. So sind wir sehr froh, dass wir zusammen wohnen, weil es unsere Freundschaft gestärkt hat. Zusätzlich haben wir uns viel entwickelt, und wir haben Dinge gelernt,, die nützlich wird im Leben sein können, zum Beispiel, Kochen. Wir sind sehr glücklich, zusammen zu leben.

In MineCraft liebe ich den logischen Teil und den Programmierung-Teil, aber von dem Programmierung-Teil weiß ich wenig. ,,Jeder findet in Ihr, was er liebt! ‘’-RedForest Sándor Boldizsár VI.A

117 Die Reise nach Istanbul

In diesem Jahr, im Sommer ist unsere Klasse mit 9R Klasse in die Türkei gefahren. Der Name der Stadt ist Istanbul. Istanbul ist eine sehr berühmte Stadt der Türkei. Wir waren insgesamt 56 Schüler, darum sind 5 Lehrer mitgefahren. Wir sind am Nachmittag abgefahren. Ich habe im Bus mit Hanni gesessen. Die Reise war sehr lang und anstrengend. Wir sind nach 24 Stunden in Istanbul angekommen. Wir haben uns im Hotel ein bisschen ausgeruht. Später ist jeder Schüler in der Stadt spazieren gegangen. Wir haben sehr interessante Gebäude gesehen, zum Beispiel die Hagia Sophia Kirche und die Blaue Moschee. An einem Tag sind wir mit dem Boot gefahren. Zum Glück war das Wetter sehr schön. Diese Reise war sehr gut und unvergesslich. In Klausenburg hatte ich jeder in meiner Familie über mein Erlebnis erzählt.

Pethő Viola X.H

In der Türkei Im Sommer sind wir in der Türkei gewesen. Es ist Juni gewesen und ist warm gewesen. Das war mein großer Traum. Die ganze Klasse ist gekommen. Der Weg hat vierundzwanzig Stunden gedauert. Im Bus haben wir Musik gehört und wir haben gesprochen. Unser Hotel war nah zum Meer. Am ersten Tag haben wir einen großen Spazieren gemacht. Wir haben die Hagia Sophia Kirche besucht. Es ist sehr groß und die Wände sind bemalt. Wir haben viel neues Essen gegessen. Das türkische Essen ist sehr fein gewesen. Der Hauptplatz von Istanbul ist voll mit wunderschönen Gebäuden. Ich bin überwältigt gewesen. Wir sind in die Topkapi gewesen. Die Topkapi ist der Palast von Suleyman gewesen. Wir haben viel Programm gehabt. Wir haben uns nicht gelangweilt. Wir wussten die türkische Sprache nicht. Wir haben Englisch gesprochen. Wir haben die grosse Stadt entdeckt. Wir haben eine türkische Schule besucht. Es ist ander als unsere. Die Schüler lernen viele interresante Fächer. In der Schule ist ein Teleskop gewesen, und sie haben die Sterne gesehen. Ich möchte in dieser Schule Schülerin sein! Wir sind in einem Museum gewesen, und wir haben einen ungarischen Sabel gesehen. Wir durften allein in die Stadt ausgehen. Ich habe türkischen Kaffe getrunken. Dann sind wir nach Tekirdag gefahren. Da haben wir die Gedenkstätte von Rákóczi besichtigt. Ich habe die “Törökországi levelek” von Mikes Kelemen gelesen, so habe ich die Gedenkstätte sehr interessant gefunden. In Tekirdag haben wir im Meer gebadet. Wir sind in die Türkei eine Woche geblieben. Ich wollte nicht nach Hause gehen, aber ich musste. Es ist mein bester Ausflug gewesen. Für mich hat der Ausflug sehr gefallen. Máté Boróka X.H

118 Die Nutzung unserer Freizeit?

Freizeit ist das liebste Wort für die heutige junge Generation. Wir müssen von acht bis fünfzehn Uhr lernen, sprechen und lesen, aber am Nachmittag möchten wir ausgehen, spazieren und uns mit unserer Freunden treffen. Unser Handy ist wichtig auch. Wir können leicht sprechen, wir lieben soziale Netzwerke. Verschiedene Festivals machen die Sommertage bunter. Wir singen, wir amüsieren uns. Das sind diese Momente, wenn wir wir unsere Gefühle ausdrücken können und wir können neue Freunde finden. Es sind nur wenige Menschen, die sich mit alten Gebäuden beschäftigen oder für die Geschichte interessieren . Die Zeiten ändern sich. Ich denke, die Welt hat sich weiterentwickelt und wir müssen so behandelt werden.

O dată, bunicul meu, mi-a povestit cum a fost prima întâlnire cu bunica mea. O compara cu desenele, cu un personaj celebru: Cenușăreasa. S-au cunoscut la dans, după război. Bunicul și-a făcut curaj și a invitat-o la dans, apoi a condus-o acasă...apoi viața lor a fost un dans, nu s-au mai despărțit niciodată. Acum, el are 89 de ani, iar bunica 85, dar iubirea lor e tânără ca la început. Vorbește cu cea mai mare dragoste despre ea. Îmi spune mereu că bunica era cea mai frumoasă fată din lume, cu părul creț și blond, cu ochii albaștri ca cerul senin de vară și cu obrajii de un roz al trandafirului. O Bunicul și bunica sunt o comoară compară cu actrița Marilyn Monroe, dar o pentru mine. Le mulțumesc pentru fiecare descrie cu mai multă emoție. moment petrecut împreuna cu ei. În Bunica mea, la fel vorbește despre el, momentele în care sunt tristă, doar ei fac tot cu cel mai mare drag și spune că bunicul tot posibilul să mă facă să râd.

125 O săptămână minunată, lumea minunată a copiilor

Copilăria este cea mai frumoasă perioadă a vieții, esențială în formarea caracterului. Copilăria înseamnă joc, viață fără griji și probleme, libertate totală. Copilăria nu are limite, e plină de voioșie și fericire… Vara aceasta am avut ocazia să intru din nou în această lume minunată. Am avut plăcerea să mă implic, să ajut în derularea unei tabere pentru copii mici, cu vârsta cuprinsă între 3 și 8 ani. Tabăra era organizată de una dintre doamnele profesoare din liceul nostru, avea o tematică religioasă, dar în același timp a oferit șansa creativității, și nu numai. Pe durata acelei săptămâni am devenit Copiii veneau veseli și curioși, unii erau din nou copil, și mi-am amintit cât de bine a chiar foarte jucăuși. Atmosfera era plină de fost! Mă jucam toată ziua, ascultam povești râsete dulci, copilărești. Între ei, m-am simțit ca pe vremuri, cântam, dansam, n-aveam grijă din nou copil și m-am jucat cu ei cu cea mai de nimic. Asta înseamnă copilăria. mare plăcere. Unii chiar m-au “obligat” să mă Mulțumesc doamnei profesoare pentru joc, nu acceptau refuz… iar eu eram gata să le că a avut încredere în mine, m-a chemat s-o împlinesc dorințele. Era un fel de-a spune, că ajut în realizarea minunatei idei de a oferi “e bine că ești printre noi”, sau “ești prietena copiilor o “altfel de săptămână” în mijlocul mea“ - iar eu mă bucuram enorm. verii. A fost o “altfel de săptămână” și Când era vorba despre învățat sau pentru mine, fiindcă mi-am dat seama cât de despre a face ceva creativ, curiozitatea și bine e să fii între copiii mici, care încă au inventivitatea lor era fără margini. M-au nevoie de afecțiune, de ajutor, care sunt niște fascinat și m-au impresionat. I-am ajutat să firi atât de gingașe. Au nevoie de multă formeze animăluțe din plastelină, să planteze atenție, dar merită!

133 Olimpiada de sport

Pentru început, aș dori să mă prezint... Sunt Péter din clasa a XI.H. În acest articol, vă voi vorbi despre sport și despre bucuria de a-l practica. Încă din clasele primare, am fost preocupat de activitățile sportive și am participat la antrenamente de baschet pentru a deveni mai bun. Am încercat mai multe sporturi, dar cel mai mult mi-a plăcut baschetul. În clasele gimnaziale am început, în paralel, și voleiul și am fost încântat... În liceu am frecventat cu seriozitate, antrenamentele de baschet și volei, de aceea am fost selectat să joc în echipa școlii. Liceul nostru a câștigat primul loc la olimpiada liceelor maghiare la baschet, astfel am fost calificați la etapa națională la olimpiada de sport. Mă bucur că am avut posibilitatea să particip la un astfel de eveniment. Olimpiada de sport este un eveniment special, a fost organizat în parcul Babeș cu reprezentanți din mai multe licee din Transilvania. Programul zilnic a fost de sporturile. Mă bucur că am putut să reprezint dimineața până seara, în perioada 21-24 echipa sportivă a liceului nostru. septembrie.
