S chool Leavers’ B all 201 5
(by Dóra Havasi 12.b)
The school leavers’ ball is one of the most important events at school every year. Most students are looking forward to
it, and it is always a really exciting festival. This year it was on 23rd January. It included various programmes for the
students’ families and the other guests,too.
It started at five o’clock in VMK with a great performance of the younger students. They recited poems and the choir
of the school sang a marvellous song about happiness. There were three speeches, one by the headmaster and the other
two by two students. They spoke about results and memories.
Afterwards, the school leavers got their ribbons from their form teachers. The parents took lots of photos and they
applauded their children while teachers were pinning the ribbons. At the end of this section the students went to prepare
for their dance. In the meantime everybody could watch the videos of the school leavers. They were really funny and
creative. The highlight of the evening was the waltz. Three different groups performed three beautiful choreographies
and then finished it off with a funny dance together. Everybody was impressed by the nice performances.
At seven o’clock everybody went to the scene of the real ball. Here, they could dance and talk to each other. People
congratulated the organizers and the students. Parents and
relatives took lots of pictures again. The dance performances were
repeated twice and then everybody was excited about the Ball
Queen and King election. The ball ended at midnight.
It was an awesome night. The atmosphere was pleasant and
really happy. Everybody had a good time and I think we’ll have a lot
of nice memories. “It was the best day in our school life” said many
school leavers.
We would like to say thank you to our teachers and everyone who
made this perfect night possible.

Art or rebellion?
(byDaniella Wenczel 12.b)
Graffiti can be viewed in several different ways.
Some view it as art and a way to express personal
that. It can mean a
.
Others see it as a crime that only causes problems in society. As a fashion
phenomenon it spread in the 1960s in the West. When most people think of
graffiti, they imagine "tags," or a stylized writing of a person's name. While
tags are probably the most popular forms, graffiti art is much more than
painting with a message of diversity or a black and white stencil piece protesting
police brutality. In each case, graffiti art makes a statement.
Like all other artistic forms, graffiti has experienced movements or changes in
.From the first tag
written on a subway train to the large, complex painting on a billboard, the movement has experienced
.
The tools and the means have changed as well. Markers were traded in for spray paint, and stencils and stickers were
introduced to make pieces easier to do in a hurry.
History:
The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their
names and poems on buildings.Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s.It's getting
more and more popular, especially among teenagers. Let's think for a moment about its pros and cons.
To start with advantages, graffiti is a form of art. It can
a piece of art on an old gray wall. Moreover,
by painting young people express their views, emotions, opinions, etc.
Moving on to disadvantages, a lot of people consider graffiti as a vandalism. Swear words painted everywhere can be
disgusting or even offensive. What's more, the smell of the sprays can be harmful to one’s health.
To sum up, graffiti can be seen as art or as a crime.

"We don't smoke. We inhale colour!"
"Is Love an invention or discovery?"
"You waste energy being angry."
"Make your life a story worth telling."
"Question the answers."

Who was your first hero when you were a child?
Kimi Raikkonen: I never had any heroes. That's not for me.
What was the first Grand Prix you can remember watching?
KR: I don't know the year, but it was in the times when Keke Rosberg was driving - and then when [Mika] Hakkinen was
racing. Of course you are interested when you see that some of your compatriots are racing.
How old were you when you first decided you wanted to be an F1 driver?
KR: I wanted to do many things when I was a kid. And making it into Formula One - I didn't really believe it was possible
until I was 17 and had won some races.
When was your first big accident in a race car?
KR: It was with Sauber at a test. One of my first outings in a Formula One Car!
What colour was your first helmet?
KR: White - and off the shelf.
When did you win your first trophy in racing and what did it look like?

Interesting Facts About The B ritish Royal Family
(by Liliána Szentmiklóssy 10.b)
Anyone you are, I’m sure that you’ve heard about the Royal Family in
Britain. And anyone you are, I’m sure, that the things you’ve ever
heard were just dry information. But it can change…Let’s see some
examples.
1.
In 2002, Princess Anna (the Queen’s daughter) had to pay
£500, because her bull terrier bit two boys in Windsor Great Park.
2.
The Queen speaks fluent French, so she doesn’t want any help
during her visits.
3.
Prince Charles never travels without his white leather toilet
seat.
4.
The Queen doesn’t have to have a driving licence. By the way,
she learnt to drive in 1945, when she joined the Army.
5.
Prince George Alexander Louis’s (The Queen’s greatgrandson) name is from George V, who had a large red and blue tattoo
of a dragon on his right arm. That tattoo was made in Japan where he
was a young sailor.
6.
When Kate Middleton and Prince William got engaged, they
told the Queen and Prince Philip and two hours later the news became public.
7.
Kate was the oldest bride in the family, because she was 29, when she got married to William. The youngest one
was Isabella of Valois, who was married at the age of 6.
8.
Prince Harry’s full name is Henry Charles Albert David. The dudes often named him Hank.
9.

Kate are 12th cousins.

The Queen’s real birthday is on 21st April, but it’s celebrated officially on 2nd June, because she was crowned
on this day in 1952.

Winston Churchill Day
9 th April
(by Bence Holjencsik 10.a)
On April 9th in 1963, Winston Churchill became the second person to
become an Honorary Citizen of the United States.
On this very day in 1963, a ceremony for honorary citizenship,
presided over by President John F. Kennedy, took place for Winston
Churchill. Churchill was not present at the ceremony but his son and
grandson were able to attend.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was a British politician, best
known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second
World War. He served as Prime Minister twice. A noted statesman
and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a
historian, a writer, and an artist. Widely regarded as one of the
greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century.
Fun fact: Churchill was also a bricklayer, constructing buildings and garden walls at his country home at Chartwell,
where he also bred butterflies.

S PRING INTERNATIONAL DAYS
The International Day of Happiness
( by Gergő Szovák 9.a)
The International Day of Happiness is celebrated throughout the world on the 20 th Ma rch . It is coordinated by a non-profit
movement of people from over 140 countries. Last year’s campaign theme for the Day of Happiness was celebrating the
"Happy Heroes" who did a lot to bring happiness to others. Lots of great events were held at the House of Lords in London
and at the UN headquarters in New York. Other events were held all over the world like laughter in the streets in Hong
Kong and free hugs in Washington DC.
Personally I think happiness has begun to disappear from people, however it would be much needed nowadays. This annual
event helps people make their day a bit better, perhaps to forget their problems for a whole day. Normally there would be
no need for a special day for Happiness if people tried to think in an optimistic way.
Most people are despaired if they can't manage to solve their problems, and they easily give up. I think this day can make
one's day happier, in addition it can make them more confident to solve their problems.
Unfortunately it's a very small campaign, so most people have probably never heard of this day. Perhaps a few years later
it can be more popular.
International Day of Hamburger
(by Krisztián Koller 9.a)
Today hamburger is one of the most popular fast food in the world. The traditional hamburger consists of a sliced bun
and beef in it.
A lot of people believe that hamburger is from the USA, but it isn’t true. It originates from Hamburg. The base of a
hamburger was a sandwich which was invented by John Montagu. In the 19th century immigrants brought hamburgers
from Hamburg to the USA. In the 1950s hamburgers were available in quite a lot of places. A hamburger was very cheap
therefore it spread very quickly.
Nowadays it has an international day on 28th Ma y. At this time people usually organise fast-eating competitions and
hamburger exhibitions.
Turtle Day
(by Krisztián Koller 9.a)
Turtles are species of reptiles which live on land or in water. The ones living in water are carnivorous and the
others living on land are herbivorous. Today 327 known turtle species live on Earth and 42% of them are protected.
Their body is protected by strong tortoiseshell therefore they move slowly on land. A special property of the giant
tortoises is that they live for 150 ~ 200 years. This animal occurs in a wide variety of places. The two extremes are
deserts and seas.

Deutschland
(László Hoffmann 10.g)
Neulich habe ich mich mit den Mädchen aus der Klasse 10.g unterhalten. Sie werden am 2. Mai nach Sulingen

In der ersten Woche des nächsten Schuljahres sehen wir sie wieder. Wir werden den
