It’s a difficult thing for me to choose a favourite relative. I like all members of my family, everyone is peculiar and lovely.
Probably my uncle, Joci is the most garish and crazy, he is a real ’globetrotter’. He started as a Maths teacher in Győr. Soon, in his early twenties, impulsed by a sudden idea, he decided to leave Hungary and try to live somewhere else. Joci choosed London, and worked there as a nurse in an elder’s home. Since then he was a driver on a dump truck in Dublin, a pizza man in Malaga, a businessman in Morocco, in German. These are just some of the things I know about his changes. The sudden decision he made in former times seems to be rewarding. He speaks many languages and have many experiences. Lots of companies want him to stay and work for them, but he still want to go ahead and try new things. Nowadays he works in Brussels for a company which produces candies and chocolate.
When we meet him (at best once in two years), we always do nothing else, just laugh at his stories. As an other good thing, I have 3 cousins (as I know) in 3 different corners of Europe.

My favourite song
Well, when we'd got this excercise, writing a blog about my favourite song, i had no idea. I like almost any style of music, the only requirement is to be a great song. :) I thought that it will be so hard for me, because i don't have a single no.1. Finally, I've figured out that i'll give 3 songs.
I have a favourite band, it's called Bon Jovi. I love almost all of their singles, but i have to choose one to my 'Billboard'. My decision is Keep the faith. It's a considerably popular song, mainly in the USA. However, it had its greatest success in the early '90s. Listening to this song makes me determined, and it's got an emphatic lyric as well.
Secondly, I name the Smooth Criminal of Michael Jackson. I like the music of the 'king of pop' and i was so stunned when i heard in the news about his death.
The third one is a song of 'Kispál és a borz'. It was an exceptionally successful and famous band in Hungary. Unfortunately they had broken up last year. I've chosen the 'Szőkített nő'. It could be interpretted as an irony of a social stratification. Anyway, it's got funny lyric, and i like it. :)
All in all, i think these are my favourites now, but the musician culture is increasing.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC?
In my opinion it is very hard to answer this question, because it's quite difficult to choose ONE song, you love the most.
I think it depends on a lot of circumstances as our mood changes, so our taste of music does. For instance, when I'm grumpy and sad, I enjoy listening to slowly relaxing songs, but when I'm happy and energetic I prefer the funky and rhythmic music. On the other hand, I also like listening to songs from famous musicals, such as Grease, Phantom of the Opera, Footloose, Hair etc.
I thought a lot about which music I could pick out. Finally I decided to choose from Ronan Keating, a tune called When you say nothing at all. There are several reasons, why I opt for this song. Its rhythm is not too slow, but not too fast while it also has great lyrics and what's more, this is the theme song of one of my favourite film, Notting Hill. It has become closer to my heart after I visited the place where the film was shot in London. Moreover, there is a chance, that we will dance to this song at 'Szalagavató' so it's another reason, why I love it so much.

,,I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality." ( ~H.A. Overstreet)
Music is very important for us. It is a dazzling miracle in our life. It can show that we feel happy or depressed, but we could always find the best one for our mood... Therefore I think, that we can't talk about just one favourite song. Every mood has its own songs.
If I don't feel myself very well, I prefer slow songs, with emotions such as: Bon Jovi-In these arms, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion or Demi Lovato-Skyscraper. The last my new favourite song, next to the others. I like it, because it has a beautiful and true lyrics, but this is not a song like 'I die in a moment', but a song about that we shouldn't give up. It give strenght to the persistence.
Fortunately, I don't have bad mood all the time, so I usually listen happier songs too, such as: Gringo Star-Télen-nyáron, Szabadulj Fel; Bon Jovi-Summertime, Natasha Bendingfield-Pocketful of sunshine. In this 'group' my favourite song is Gringo Star-Szabadulj fel. I like this song, because it has a very lovely lyrics, with good tun. This song is mean for me the freedom. When I've listening it, I believed that I don't have obstacle, and it makes me feel happy. I always smiling, when I heard it. :)

Favourite song
Hello everyone.
Sarah gave us rights to write posts here so our writings are going to come directly from us, yay. Btw first!
Well my favourite song is from Breaking Benjamin, it's called Dear Agony. I like it very mutch because it is full of emotions and the tune perfectly fits the lyrics. The two thing together makes the song sort of epic. Although the song is about agony it sort of makes me happy and sad at the same time, and it's really strange belive me.
You should listen to it (there are tons of videos on Youtube) and post your thoughts here.
Cheers: Zsolt

Talking to the World
Three of my students share what they would say if they could talk to the whole world and everybody would listen:
By Dini:
"Telling something to the whole world. Huh. It's not very easy. One thing is certain, I will speak about the problems of the world, for example, global warming and wars. The next thing will be God. It is a great opportunity, to share Him with the world world. I will say, 'He loves you, and if you believe in Him, you can find happiness.'
However, I think I won't be able to say anything. I will have a fever and after 290 seconds, I will only say, 'Thank you, I love you.'"
By Tamás:
"If I could talk to the world and everybody would understand me, I would say this:
Hello everyone, the whole human race, all people living on this planet (or orbiting around), please pay attention. Firstly, stop fighting. Wars never change, people die, the poor get poorer, and you can't expect to be able to convince somebody with violence. War is not about what's right, only who's left. Second, climate change is now something that we cannot close our eyes to. We must act as soon as possible, for example, support researching alternative energy sources. The rich countries should help the developing ones. We should ensure equal rights to everyone no matter where he/she lives; they have the same rights to live, learn, practice their religion. We don't need confrontation. The only way of saving our planet from ourselves is the way we can all work together for a better future for the next generation."
By Zsolt:
"Hello everyone from around the world. I'm going to tell you a few things, hopefully you will get the reason behind it all and make the world better.
First of all, forget about whether you are an Asian, African, European, etc. because it's only good for conflicts. You are all human beings and not mindless animals. If we would all forget the racial differences, this world would be much better.
Secondly, a few words about religions. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing if you believe in god(s) but it is pointless to hate each other for it. Think about the suffering in the Middle Ages. All those crusades because some guy said, 'We need to liberate the holy city,' it's pointless.
Thirdly, politics. Think of the Cold War. What happened there? The U.S. and Soviet leaders hated each other. Pointless. If you want good leaders go for the smart people, not for the charismatic.
And last, science. Scientists are always right! They never say things unless they are absolutely sure about it, and if they aren't, they will tell you that. If you all would trust them, this world would be much better and highly advanced. Our lives would be much easier with advanced equipment,.
In conclusion, we shouldn't think of nations. We have to think as a race and we need to care for our future."

Favorites...
Today is the first day of school, and as such, I thought it important to post a few more blogs from my students that they wrote last year. Get ready for some new posts coming soon :)
My Favorite Place in Győr
By Adam
"One of my favorite places in Győr is Püspök Forest. Though in the summer I call it the mosquito forest, it is a nice place for bicycling, running, and work-outs. I can't tell you how many times we went to the forest with my father. There, on a never ending road we rode our bicycles, stopping at a few places and resting. We had fun enjoying the mosquitoes, talking about life, and looking at nature.
I remember once we went on a mini field trip there with our class. We played hide and seek and king of the hill. We ate fried chicken and enjoyed the feeling that there were only TWO more weeks of school left.
All together, Püspök Forest is a good place for family fun, not far from there, there is even a swimming area! I believe everybody needs time to relax, and enjoy nature. In Győr this opportunity is far from impossible."
A Memory from a Class Trip
By Dorisz
"In May I went to Rome with my Catholic classmates. Our flight was delayed 2 hours, but we had a great time at the airport in Bratislava as well. Finally, we arrived in Rome at 9:30. The flight was fantastic. It was my first experience, but I hope not the last. We all slept in one big room. It was freaky. We had 5 wonderful days in Rome. We saw a lot of things, for example, Trevi fountain, lots of churches, and of course the Colosseum, which is my favorite building.
We ate loads and loads of ice cream, pasta, and pizza. The transport was ridiculous. We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw how they drive.
The Italian people are very friendly, helpful, nice, and really elegant. I'm fond of their language. It is catchy, I guess.
I hope I can go back as soon as possible. One day I will live there, I know. I fell in love with Italy."
