Saturday 31.1.2015 Don't bully!

 

Hi guys!

How are you today?

I have planned to write about this subject, öh, too long time. So now it's finally time to open this important case.

A few months ago there was a #callme campaign, campaign agains bullying. The idea was write bad words what people tell you and change those words to good ones and on that way tell who and what you really are.

Nowadays bullying is everywhere and it's too easy because internet and social media. Kids bully at school or hobby, youngsters as well and even adults at work. And now everybody can do it on the internet. It is horrible! 

Every day younger and younger kids use computers, tablets or they have internet on their phones. Kids learn fast, they are clever and free messages or social media makes it really easy to bully. For youngsters it is pretty same thing but if you ask me teens are even worse than kids. They have more knowledge about social media's possibles than younger. I don't know a lot about adults and bullying at work but I cannot understand it. I cannot understand that adults haven't understood how stupid bullying is! Parents may bully at work and same time they teach their kids not to treat other kids bad. No sense at all!

Don't bully, you don't know what kind of effect it has!

Wednesday 28.1.2015 English essay "21st Century Education"

"21st Century Education 

Hi everybody!

Today I'm going to talk about studying at upper secondary school in Finland. In many points our school system is really good but for sure there are some worse things as well. 

The first "problem" I see is homework. We always get so much homework. Write an essay or two, do math, translate text, make a sport plan, read a hundred pages,... Secondly, school might be pretty boring, difficult and stressful also. What gives so much stress and makes school that difficult? It's the fact that we have to study some unnecessary subjects, like history and Swedish, so much. We can choose some courses but four history courses or eight Swedish courses is too many especially if you hate those subject. Everybody should study more sport because students don't exercise enough. We should also study more than one course health education because not everybody knows, for example, how to give first aid and other very very important and useful skills. 

Or some students could understand how dangerous smoking, drinking or using drugs is if they listen to more health education teacher. Lastly, at our school we use too much computers and information technology.

Good point is that our teachers are very well-trained, efficient and they know what they are teaching. Most of our teachers are really nice, friendly and understandable towards their students. A very good point is also that you can take different courses like cooking, art, music or dancing if you want so. That may make you feel comfortable at school and you won't feel so much stress. 

Our upper secondary school is absolutely the best in the Europe and I really appreciate and prefer to be here than any other country's school!

Hello guys!

I expected that this weekend is going to be uncredible boring. I wanted to spend time with my love but this weekend was sport weekend (Rauma's Lukko against Pori's Ässät fight x 2). Then I asked friend, other friend and even my cousin to snowboard with me but they all have some other things to do. But this weekend wasn't completely fail! On Friday after school I went to Rauma for shopping with my friend.

Yesterday... Went to Pori. Tested car. Went to shopping mall Puuvilla. Drove around the city. Tried to survive out of the grocery with a few othe people. Take a meal. With candies. Studied health education. Wrote English essay about Finnish senior secondary school. Posted older essay. Watched Black Swan (it was really good but I'm used to good so I don't like to watch movies alone.

Today... On the morning me and mom went to Harjavalta. I wanted to snowboard anyway, even without friends. And was so much fun! I has really slippery board but snow wasn't slippery at all so it was very good combination. Weather was good, there wasn't too much people, board and hills worked well together and I really enjoyed snowboarding. Now my legs are really hurting, I don't know why so bad and really hope it will be better tomorrow! In the evening we cooked hamburgers and mud cake, yummy!

How was your weekend?

Saturday 24.1.2015 English essay "Dancing - I just love it!"

"Dancing - I just love it!

Dancing has always been a very important thing all over the world. For instance, here in Europe we like partner dance a lot. And for example in Africa they love their own traditional dancing style.

If we focus on dancing in Europe it's really varied. We have ballet, jazz, show, hiphop, disco, breakdance and so on. You can go to competitions or dancing school or you can dance just by yourself.

Ballet was my hobby for two years when I was a little kid. After that I changed it to jazz. But what does dancing mean to me? It means everything to me, it's my whole life. Dancing is my most important hobby. It's good sport where I can get a lot of physical exercise to get a better condition, focus on my own body and even all the smallest muscles. When I'm dancing I can feel freewithout stress and worry about anything , for instance school, homework and tests. At dancing school I always meet friends which is really important. They are good friends for me because we share the same hobby. This hobby is very good way to spend my free time but the most important thing about dancing is expressing. It's so wonderful to feel good music, speed and expressing it strongly. And it also looks beautiful and nice when u put your whole heart into dancing."

Tuesday 20.1.2015 English essay "An uplifting experience"

I have wrote this text at school before our cruise, on 7th January. 

"An uplifting experience

One of the most uplifting things I have even experienced is high school's third graders' cruise. We had our cruise on 16th to 17th January but most Finnish third graders have it on 13th to 14th February. If I can say, traditionally third graders' is always in February just before the winter holiday. But Eurajoki senior secondary school students have their own tradition to take the cruise without all other school and third graders.

What is the idea about that kind of cruise? Firstly, take a break! All third graders are reading and studying hard, or at least trying to do so, before our final exams. The first exam will be on 5th February so our cruise gave a good little break before that. Secondly, to create team spirit. Third graders won't spend a lot of time together at school after the cruise. Anyway, I'm sure we will have a better time together for those few weeks. Last but not least, have fun! Having fun all together helped to forget all the stress about school and exams. 

How was our cruise? Third graders met at school at four o'clock in the evening and at eight o'clock our ferry left Turku. Then we had many hours time to party, dance, listen to music and spend time with friends. A few hours' sleep in the cabin and yhen second day's plans. Everybody didn't have so many plans but me and my friends went to the buffee lunch and bought some souvenirs."

In the evening I continued to bar with my love and his friends. I guess I don't have to go to bar next weekend. Or next month... But it was nice even there wasn't a lot people!

Now it is good to focus to school and final tests again. And go to bed, good night!
