Childhood memories

IN CONVERSATION WITH MY GRANDMOTHER
Where you born in Slovenia and when?
I was born in 1954 in Kranj.
Where was your school?
My school was in town. It was small and the teachers were much more stricter to us. We were punished if we didin't work hard.
What high school did you finish?
I finished tekstille high school. It was a very nice school, but I had to work very hard to finish high school. Those times were hard in every area.
What do you miss from those times?
I miss the talking. People don't talk much. When you go out some of them don't even say hello to you. Some are very rude. I miss children in the gardens, playing with each other and not playing video games like they do. I miss people from those times.
Do you think that your times were better than times now?
Yes of course they were. We didn't have computers,TVs, we didn't have any technology. We were happy for what we had, we were happy for every single thing we got. We wern't selfish. And we knew how to have fun. We were outside every single day and we were happy. Now children don't know how to be like us so most of the children stay in their rooms and play video games all day long. They don't have true friends, they only have hundreds of fake friends on computers.It's sad how it is.
What are your hopes for the future?
I hope there wont be so many computers, TVs and other things that make people diffrent. I'm hoping for nicer future and that my granddoughters and grandsons will have beautiful lives.

MY JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD

WHEN I WAS 14, I DECIDED TO GO AROUND THE WORLD. LAST YEAR I FINALLY RAISED ENOUGH MONEY TO GO ON THIS LONG JOURNEY. I WANTED TO SEE ALL THE MOST POPULAR TOWNS, ESPECIALLY DUBAI. I STARTED MY TRIP WITH A FLIGHT TO MOSCOW. IT WAS VERY COLD THERE, SO I DID NOT STAY THERE FOR AS LONG AS I THOUGHT. MY NEXT CITY AFTER MOSCOW WAS DUBAI. THE WEATHER THERE WAS SUNNY ALL THE TIME SO I WAS ABLE TO SEE ALL THE INTERESTING PLACES. THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE TO VISIT THERE WAS BURY CALIF. IT IS THE HIGHEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD. I STAYED THERE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN I FLEW TO JAPAN - TOKYO. I BOUGHT A NEW NISSAN CAR, MODEL 370Z, TOOK IT ON A SHIP AND SAILD TO BRASIL - RIO DE JANEIRO. WHEN I CAME TO THE PORT IN RIO, IT WAS THE TIME OF THE CARNIVAL. THERE I BOUGHT A LOT OF INTERESTING SOUVENIRS. MY LAST PLACE OF VISIT ON MY JOURNEY WAS LONDON. I STAYED THERE FOR ALMOST A WEEK. I VISITED ALL TOURISTIC SIGHTS. AFTER 57 DAYS OF MY JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD I RETURNED HOME. I SAW AND MET A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE AND GOT A LOT OF NEW FRINEDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

A story by Lara

ARGUING
I was on holiday with my two best friends. We were at the campsite near the sea. It was a beautiful and sunny day. We were watching a horror film. When the film ended we were arguing who would go first in the water, because the monster in film pulled a woman into water. It was very terrifying.
We were all very nervus and we were standing on rocks. Then a friend just pushed Polona and she fell into water. Then we all jumped into the sea. And we were all happy.

A story by Martin

»EXTREME« SURVIVAL
We have a dog called Bina. She is 3 years old and she is a very healthy dog.
But I think it was a week ago, when she started to feel worse. Suddenly we saw a lump under her eye. Everybody in our familly was so worried. I almost cried. All of my good mood turned to worse. And it was already worse because of the bad expieriences we had with the lumps on other dog`s bodies. Our first Bina died because of a lump in her stomach. She was the best and the cuttest dog we ever had. And that is why I loved this dog so much.
The situation was getting worse and worse from hour to hour. But it was SATURDAY and we couldn`t take the dog to the doctor. I had to wait another TWO days!!!
Next day, it was Sunday. And after the Mass, me and my brother Jan took Bina for a little walk. This lump grew from a little lumpie to a great lump in a day! My thoughts were black and I didn`t eat all day. Even in the evening, I didn`t watch TV as usual. I just went up to my bed and fell sleep. The next morning, it was Monday. And with Monday, there was school again. But it made me a bit happier. I could see my friends again, and we chated a lot. The weather was great, and in my black mind, there was a little light flashing: TODAY we go to the vet and he will examine Bina! And all happy I came home.
But when I came home, I started to feel a bit nervous. Already, when I came, on the door, there was mum. Her face was happy and suddenly, I knew the words, she will say. And she finaly said: »Bina is better! The lump is getting smaller and smaller. We have cancelled the examination at the vet and you can take her for a walk if you want in the afternoon!«
All of us were happy and also my classmates were happier than I expected. So like all the American films and stories, also this story came to a HAPPY END!
