Handball

This weekend we have obtained the greatest victory of our league. Our team came out very motivated and when we finished the first half  we won by 10 goals.
In the second half we came out the same players who finished the first half and during the first 15 minutes we were able to take further advantage, namely 16 goals.
The last 15 minutes remaining in our team there were many changes and new players enter because we were tired.
They get a partial 6-0, ending the game with an incredible result
, 40-18 in our favor.

Orphan Black

I  have to say, the first episode left me a little underwhelmed. Then I re-watched it with my brother and he hated it. Now we've stuck with it and are on the fourth episode and are hooked! The story develops in very surprising ways as do the characters. The one problem I have with it, and a lot of Canadian produced show in general, is that they try to make you think it's set in NYC or some other American city.
But still, its chapters in all, I like it a lot and hope are finish watching the 1st season soon, and then wait until April to see the second season.

Gap Year

 I know that I want to do  law and become a lawyer  at university and bottom line, I know I definitely want to go to university but despite that, I really am considering taking a gap year for the sake that I want a break from the education system and experience something new.

If I do decide to take a gap year, then my plan is working until August so I would earn enough money to backpack Europe for 4
weeks, I also plan on going on one of those Gap Year Courses. I would like to do a France course  to end to learn French well.

Immigration

Immigration is what settled this country not illegal immigration. People who immigrate illegally hurt all of the people who are trying to do it legally. I am not against immigration. I believe that the immigration problem should be handled in a series of steps. First the borders should be shut down to prevent any more illegal immigration. Second the immigration laws need to be changed. It should be easier to immigrate and shouldn't take 8 years or more. The processing time from most countries should be less than one year as long as the native country cooperates. Laws regarding businesses that hire illegal immigrants should be changed so that repeated offenses should result in escalating fines that will put the company out of business if they continue to defy the laws. The next law would be for any immigrant not yet a citizen who is convicted of a felony should be deported after serving their sentence with no future opportunity of returning. Only after these laws are in place can the illegal immigrants already here be dealt with but I think they should be fined heavily and have to apply for legal immigration status. Once all this is done anyone caught illegally in the country should be deported immediately with repeat offenders given long prison terms before being deported

Oral Presentation

Samuel Richardson (19 August 1689 – 4 July 1761) was an 18th century Englishwriter and printer. He is best known for his three epistolary novels: Pamela: Or, Virtue Rewarded (1740), Clarissa: Or the History of a Young Lady (1748) and The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753). Richardson was an established printer and publisher for most of his life and printed almost 500 different works, with journals and magazines.

Richardson lost his first wife along with their five sons, and eventually remarried. Although with his second wife he had four daughters who lived to become adults, they had no male heir to continue running the printing business. While his print shop slowly ran down, at the age of 51 he wrote his first novel and immediately became one of the most                                                    popular and admired writers of his time.

My future summer !

This year the summer is free for me. I mean I don't have to go to school this summer. I have to make plans for this summer.
I have many plans, for example to go to Krasnodar or abroad.
But in my opinion the best is to go to work because I would be able to earn money and I will have something to do when I have free time.
In my opinion, to find work at my age is rather difficult because I only eighteen. But with help of Internet I will be able to find it.
To cut a long story short my plans for the summer are to work and to earn money.

The Human Cloning

In my opinion I think that the human cloning will give big benefits to the medical science since the scientist will be able to study better.
I consider that for the people, the human cloning is unnatural and unethical.
In my impression, I think that in the future we will welcome the benefts of human cloning because I'm sure that is possible the curing of a lot illnesses.
In conclusion, my personal opinion is that in spite of danger that the human cloning had, it can be very beneficial advance in medicine.
Nevertheless, I think that all sciencific advandes must be used correctly because if they have a bad use, it will be a lot of problems.

Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher, the 7-time Formula One World Champion, had a skiing accident in the French Alps. He is fighting for his life now.

His condition is not getting worse, but it is still critical. He is not yet out of danger. Schumacher’s doctors removed a haematoma which was in his brain. The intra-cranial pressure was reduced. Doctors scanned his brain afterwards. It showed signs of slight improvement.

Michael Schumacher is a great family man, and he’s always loved to do exciting and dangerous things. It is sad to hear that something like this happened to him. He has been through so much and survived so much.

So let's hope he recovers soon.

Flying Car

A man from Slovakia has made the dream of many children come true. He produced a real life flying car.

The car is made out of simple materials and has an original look. It’s already been tested downtown and on the highway, where it reaches up to 130 kilometres per hour (80 miles per hour).

The transformation from a car to a plane takes only a few seconds. Its wings open and you’re ready to take off.

In my opinion I think that the car could help cut down on the time which people spend at airports, or even be used in places with no airports. 

The latest model of the car will be produced next year and will be hopefully available to customers, too.

Eusebio, a legend !

The legendary Portuguese footballer Eusebio has died at the age of 71.

Born in Mozambique in 1942, he went on to play 64 times for his country, scoring 41 goals. He also scored nine goals during the 1966 World Cup in England, more than any other player and helped Portugal to finish third.

He’s widely considered to be one of the best players of all-time, scoring 733 times in 745 professional matches.

Current Portugal captain and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to him on Twitter, posting this photo of the pair together.

After his playing career ended, Eusebio was an ambassador for Benfica and Portuguese football.

A spokesman for Benfica has said Eusebio’s body will be brought to the stadium later today so fans will have the chance to pay their final respects.

In conclusion, we always remember this great man, he is a legend for football.

Soccer !

I like so much soccer. I have a long history with this sport, and have played since I was child. I don't know why I love soccer because my father hated it and no one from my family liked it. I started to play soccer when I was in secondary school.Then I improved my skills and played it every day.One day the coach of a club in my town saw me playing soccer and he told me you should come to the club because you have good skills.
After that I told my father, but my father rejected it and the coach and boss of the club came to my father to try to get permission for me to play soccer.
Then, my father accepted and I was happy. I played in the club about 4 years, but I had a problem with my education. I coludn't make a schedule between my soccer club and school studies.
Finally, during the last year, I hand an injury in my knee, and since then I haven't play football, so I had decided to dedicate myself to handball.

My favourite season:)

My favourite season is summer. I like the other seasons as well, but summer is the best for me.
First of all, I like summer because the weather is hot. Some people think that summer is too hot, but I just love it as it is.
Furthermone, I love holidays, especially the long summer holiday. I like spending my holiday with my family and friends, as well as travelling and visiting new places.

This season gives me the feeling of joy that no other                                                                            seasons does.

It has many things I like; for example, it has a big bed with a many pillows around, and it has two windows where I can see the garden in the back yard. There I have my own television and VCR. I have pictures of Real Madrid Team and of my family on the wall to remember them every day.
My bedroom has enough light. There I can stay for hours because there I feel secure, happy, and free. My bedroom represents me, because there the decorations show what things I like. I decorated it with games, plants, chairs, pictures, films, and other stuff. The bedroom I have here in Spain looks like my bedroom in my country Krasnodar (Russia).

A film review !

My favorite movie ever is Twilight, the saga. I really enjoy watching love stories that also have some action and special effects. Of course, it's kind of foolish watching vampires and wolves fighting against each other but it's enterteining. I have also read the books. I really love reading and everytime I have the chance and time to read I go for it. I can watch Twilight over and over again. I never get bored of watching it. The leading actors are so cute and their performance is awesome. Some of my friends don't like that movie. They prefer watching horror movies. I also like horror movies but not that much. Some of them are really scary like The Exorcist or The Ring. It's funny because it has happened that after watching a horror movie I end up having horrible nightmares.
