A home composition written by the 6th-formers

For me, hobby is what you like to do the most in your free time.
My hobby is reading. I like it because I can do it everywhere and everytime. I began reading about seven years ago in  „upper-case letters“. I mostly like adventure stories like „LOTR“, „Eragon“ and „The Hobbit“. I also like sci-fi like „The Hunger Games“ but not so much. I´ve read three books in English. I think reading  is a good activity to everyone. Have a good reading!

My hobby is fishing. Someone thinks fishing is boring.But I think it`s fun.But this activity needs a lot of patience. And it depends on the season.You can catch with lots of things, like spinning or handrod.You can catsh a pike or other fish .But you need good equipment. Go and catch with your own bite.

My hobby is playing computer games. I began playing them five years ago. I only play them at home because we don´t have these computer games in school computers. I usually play every day. My favourite game is Counter- Strike. I play this game on my own computer. I like my hobby very much.

My hobby is dancing. I began dancing six years ago. I dance only at school. Kaie is my dancing teacher. Dancing lessons are twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My favourite dance is Polka. I like to wear national costumes. I like to go to dancing events. Last summer I danced at the dance festival in Tallinn with my schoolmates.  I am seriously interested  in dancing.  Dancing is fun.

A hobby is something someone wants to do in his or her free time. My hobby is reading. I started reading books when I was around 5 or 6. Reading is great, because there are so many books in the world. I usually borrow a book from the library, and when I like it I'm probably going to buy it. I have lots of books at home. You can read almost everywhere. It may take up a lot of your time, but it depends on the book. I don't have a favourite book, but I like Eragon, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter books. My favourite genre is adventure, but I like all the others too. You can also read books that teach you something new.
Timmu


I think hobby is an activity what you do in your free time.My hobby is rhythmical gymnastics. I do it five times a week. I like it but sometimes I feel exhausted and I need more free time. Gymnastics is expensive sport. Rhythmical gymnastics is an indoor activity. I´ve done gymnastics for 8 years. By doing this I´m happy! My coaches are Airi Pärn, Karmen Orlovski and Sandra Ivanova who teaches ballet to us. In gymnastics I´ve been both the first and the last in competitions.

HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

History of Halloween
Halloween falls on October 31st each year in North America and other parts of the world. What do you know about Halloween? Do you celebrate it in your country? Here is a little history about it. 

Vocabulary - sõnavara
to evolve (v)- to change little by little
spirit (n)- ghost, some people believe the spirit and body separate when a person dies
holy (adj)- sacred, very good, related to religion. Hallow comes from the word holy.
saint (n)- an honored, holy person
evil (adj)- very, very bad
lantern (n)- lamp or enclosed light that can be carried around
turnip (n)- a purple and white vegetable that grows in the ground
Like many other holidays, Halloween has evolved and changed throughout history. Over 2,000 years ago people called the Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern France. November 1 was their New Year's Day. They believed that the night before the New Year (October 31) was a time when the living and the dead came together.
More than a thousand years ago the Christian church named November 1 All Saints Day (also called All Hallows.) This was a special holy day to honor the saints and other people who died for their religion. The night before All Hallows was called Hallows Eve. Later the name was changed to Halloween.
Like the Celts, the Europeans of that time also believed that the spirits of the dead would visit the earth on Halloween. They worried that evil spirits would cause problems or hurt them. So on that night people wore costumes that looked like ghosts or other evil creatures. They thought if they dressed like that, the spirits would think they were also dead and not harm them.
The tradition of Halloween was carried to America by the immigrating Europeans. Some of the traditions changed a little, though. For example, on Halloween in Europe some people would carry lanterns made from turnips. In America, pumpkins were more common. So people began putting candles inside them and using them as lanterns. That is why you see Jack 'o lanterns today.
These days Halloween is not usually considered a religious holiday. It is primarily a fun day for children. Children dress up in costumes like people did a thousand years ago. But instead of worrying about evil spirits, they go from house to house. They knock on doors and say "trick or treat." The owner of each house gives candy or something special to each trick or treater.
Happy Halloween!
