Volleyball In Poland the most popular sports are football, vol-

leyball, handball, ski jumping and cross country ski

but I want to write about sport where our team is

good. It‘s volleyball. I think most people in Europe

know the rules, so I'm not going to write about it.

In Volleyball World League in 2012 Polish team took first place and the best player of the tourna-

ment was the Polish player — Bartosz Kurek.

At the Olympics our team wasn't good. After the match with Russia we didn't leave the group.

In 2014 after Euro 2012 in Poland there is going to

be the next big event — Volleyball World Champi-onship. I think Polish team is going to win this

championship.

Team of France of handball

The French handball team has been world champion 4 times and Olympic champions twice. French people call them «the tanned,the crazy,the strong, the expert ».

French people are name tanned because in 1992, they are win the bronze medaille in the game Olympic.

Crazy thanks to team spirit.

Strong because they are win the world ligue in 2001 and in 2006.

Expert because they are win the world ligue in 1995, 2001, 2006, 2008.

The best player of the world are Jackson Richardson(1995),

Stephane Stoecklin (1997), Bertrand Gille(2002), Nikola Karabatic(2007), Thierry Omeyer(2008).

Handball is a team sport in which two

teams of seven players each pass a ball

to throw it into the goal of the other

team. A standard match consists of two

periods of 30 minutes, and the team

with the most goals scored wins.

Modern handball is usually played in-

doors, but outdoor variants exist in the

forms of field handball and Czech hand-

ball and beach handball. Contact is only

allowed when the defensive player is

completely in front of the offensive

player; between the offensive player

and the goal. Any contact from the side

or especially from behind is considered

dangerous and is usually met with pen-

alties. When a defender successfully

stops an attacking player (who loses the

ball over a line), the play is stopped and

restarted by the attacking team from

the spot of the infraction or on the nine-

meter line. Unlike in basketball, where

players are allowed to commit only 5

fouls in a game, handball players are al-

lowed an unlimited number of faults,

which are considered good de

fence and disruptive to the attacking

team's rhythm. Goals are scored quite

frequently; usually both teams score at

least 20 goals each, and it is not uncom-

mon for both teams to score more than

30 goals. This was not true in the earli-

est history of the game, when the

scores were lower. But, as offensive play

has improved since the late 1980s, par-

ticularly the use of counter-attacks (fast

breaks) after a failed attack from the

other team, goal-scoring has increased.

varme til kjøttet er mørt (til det løsner fra benet), ca. 2

And there is extra Sports session once a week which is not in curriculum so that students can get more exercise. Every detail of curriculum is mandated by National Ministry of Educa-tion.

RAKOVSKI

The town of Rakovski is located in the west- ern

part of the Upper Thracian Lowlands amidst a luxuriant flat country , stretching tens

of miles in every direction. The town is a mere 25 km away from Plovdiv, Bulgaria‘s

second largest city in modern days as well as in the antiquity and in the Middle Ages.

There are 33 teachers working at the

school. All of them hold at least bachelor

degree and many hold advanced degrees.

More emphasis is put on Bulgarian, Maths

and Foreign Languages, which are studied

nearly every day. The remaining subjects

are studied around twice a week. Bulgarian

and Maths are studied intensively because

students are tested in these two subjects

areas on standardized high school entry ex-

ams at the end of 7th grade. Based on the

results of these exams, students have the

option of applying to a variety of special-

ized schools. These are public schools but

entry is very competitive and subjects

range from Foreign languages to Tourism.

As with the curriculum, the number of

students per class is mandated by the Min-

istry of education. First to fourth grade

classes must be between 16 and 22 stu-

dents – average 20 in our school. Fifth to

eighth grade classes must be between 18

and 26 students – average 26 in our

school. The classes are mixed gender and

comprised primarily of Bulgarian students

and a minority of Roma students.

The foyers are painted with drawings from the

past of Bulgarian history.

Christmas in Bulgaria In Bulgaria Christmas is celebrated on the 25th, 26 th and 27th of December. The

Bulgarians have a lot of interesting customs such as koledarstvo, posti and many others.

Posti means ''not eating meat or any animal products(including eggs and dairy

products)''. It lasts from 15th November until the 25th of December. Because of that the

Christmas Eve dinner consist of seven, nine or twelve traditional Bulgarian vegetarian

dishes such as wheat, corn, soup of lentils, soup of haricot beans, nuts, red peppers with

rice, apples, pears, quince, "sarmi", "banitsa" and "baklava". The number twelve

represents the twelve months of the year and the main dish is a huge round bread called

pitka in which there is a coin and everyone of the family has to take a piece. The one who

takes the part with the coin will be the richest in the family and will earn a lot of money in

the next year.

Christmas Eve has always been one of the best expected evenings for all people,

one of the most festive ones in Bulgaria, the time when whole family comes together and

goes to church.

In Bulgaria we celebrate either with our families, loved ones or with friends. Some

get together at friends‘ houses, drink, eat and wait for the New Year to arrive. Others cook

until the afternoon and prepare tasty dishes to enjoy together with their family. Some

couples celebrate alone. A lot people gather at main squares in their cities where there

usually is a big Christmas tree in the middle. There are big concerts that people go to and

celebrate until one or two o‘clock in the morning. The best part is right after the countdown

stops and the fireworks fill the sky with color. Everyone lights Bengal fires and makes calls

to congratulate people they know.

About five or six o‘clock in the morning boys and men, called ‗survakari‘ put

traditional Bulgarian clothing on and go from house to house and sing songs for health and

prosperity. They hit the hosts on the backs with decorated sticks called ‗surovachki‘ while

singing. Then the hosts give them treats and money and send them off to the next house.

Another tradition is the ‗banitsa s kasmeti‘. It‘s made of sheets of pastry with cheese

between them and there are few –centimeters- long cornel-tree branches in each slice. The

branches represent the good fortunes that will follow you through the following year.

NORWEGIAN TRAVELERS

The Norwegian travelers are a group or branch of the Romani people (also known

as "Gypsies", zigenare, and sigøynere) that have been resident in Norway and Swe-

den for some 500 years, as distinct from other Romanies who arrived starting in

the late 19th century. The estimated number of Romani travelers is 65,000] while

in Norway the number is probably less than 10,000.

By history and culture, they are related to similar groups of Romani people in other

countries, such as British Romani groups like Romanichals,

By the settled majority population, the Norwegian Travelers are known as ―tatere‖.

Both terms hint to the original misconception that these people were Tatars.

The Travelers in Sweden and Norway speak a form of the Romani language known

to academics as Scandoromani, sometimes referred to as Tavringer Romani. Many

words of Scandoromani origin have survived in the Scandinavian languages, both in

common speech and slang.

The Norwegian travelers were trades and commerce, and they tried to sell.

The beauty of Norway

Norway is a place that is charming with its nature and one of the most beautiful landscapes in

the world. It belongs to Scandinavia and it is the northernmost country in the continent of Europe.

Amazing fjords, huge mountains, green forests, torrential rivers and gorgeous waterfalls attract

people from all over the world to come here for a holiday and even settle down in Norway for liv-

ing, working or studying.

The nature of this country is probably one of the most unique and particular all over the Earth.

Have you ever heard that fjords are found only in Norway and New Zealand? The country is also

famous because of midnight sun which is occurring in summer months at places north of the Arctic

Circle that includes Northern Norway as well. Much more, people from all around the world often

come here for watching the incredible Northern Lights, also called as aurora borealis. The country

is full of beauty and charm, but the peculiarity of it doesn’t stop here yet!

Norway is famous for its cities and

towns. Capital Oslo is the biggest city all over there and it is the oldest

capital of Scandinavian countries. The city of Bergen which is located

on the west coast is meant to be the gateway to the fjords and probably is one of the most beautiful cities in

Europe.

It is charming with its quaint harbor,

seven mountains, little old houses with red roofs and, of course, the rain.

It’s raining often over Bergen and it gives the city a special spirit and

charm. Also, if you ever get an op-portunity to come to Norway, I would suggest you to visit at least one of the

beautiful towns of it.

It gives you an amazing possibility to see the real culture of the country

and get to know a little bit of old tra-

ditions, what can be often forgotten in big cities. While visiting a Norwe-

gian village, you can get to see how did the people used to live in old

days and I am sure that is kind of an interesting thing!

Norway is also meant to be the

land of fairy tales. Have you ever heard any of the legends of Viking

warriors, trolls or northern lights? Yes, Norway is a place full of beauti-

ful and magical stories. The best ex-ample of that probably is a super-natural being in Norse mythology

which is called as a troll.

In old days people used to believe

that trolls are beings who are living

in isolated rocks, mountains or caves, staying together with their families

and are rarely helpful or friendly to humans. For today, there are only the

fairy tales that left.

Anyway, there are many things that remind of trolls here over Norway till

today. The stores are always full of

statuettes that represent the trolls, many big troll statues are found all

around the country, you can also find historical books and fairy tales about

them if you wish to know more.

Nature, cities, culture, traditions…. What else? Yes, the people. Norwegians are good-natured and kindhearted peo-

ple who are always about to help and understand others. You will probably never feel lonely or unhappy while be-ing here, because there is always someone who is willing to help you out with your troubles. The local people will definitely give you a warm welcome. Since you speak English you aren’t going to face any problems while staying over here. If you understand Norwegian, it’s just perfect while communicating to the local people. So, even though

Norway is a cold country according to its climate and the northernmost part of Europe according to its location, Nor-

wegians are warm and open-hearted people and that make Norway much beautiful and attractive!

The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. The monument was built

by Jean Chalgrin from 1806 to 1836. It is Napoleon who ordered its construction. Its design

was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus.

The Place de l'Étoile forms a huge roundabout with twelve avenues. These avenues "radiate"

the star around the square, including the Avenue Kleber, Avenue de la Grande Armee, the

Avenue de Wagram, and of course, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle also known as “Place de l’Etoile” at

the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and

died for France during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of

all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Under the arch,

there is a buried warrior but we do not know who he is.
