Barbora Bačiková

My family

Although I have a big family, my closest family consists of only five members: my mother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather and me.

I don´t have any brothers and sisters, I´m the only child. Sometimes it´s good, because I don´t have to share my room with anybody and my parents give me everything I want, because I´m their only daughter, but the most of time I feel lonely, so I wish I could have a sibling.

My mum´s name´s Marta. She´s 44 years old and now she´s unemployed. She´s very sensitive and she´s the biggest perfectionist I know, so she´s also strict, but I appreciate it, because I know that she just want the best for me.

My dad´s name´s Vladimír. He´s 40 years old and he works in a bank. He´s very clever and sometimes strict. And everyone says that I really take after him.

The other two members of my family are my grandparents. They´re my dad´s parents. My grandma´s name´s Marta and she´s 61 years old. She likes cooking, for me she is the best cook in the world. My grandpa´s name´s Vladimír and he´s 60 years old. He likes working in a garden. Both my grandparents are pensioners.

Barbora Bačiková

My interests   I have a lot of hobbies in my free time, however

it´s true that now I spend most of time doing my homework or preparing to school. But during the holiday I like doing many activities.

For example, I collect euro coins. My friends live all around Europe, so they always send me their national coins and I send them our coins. I have two albums where I collect them and I must praise myself that both of them are almost full .

Then I love reading. The most I like detective stories. I think I´ve read all Agatha Christie´s books. I love summer night storms while reading a good novel in my bed with a torch in my hand.

As I eat often and much, I must do some exercise. Especially in the summer I do some kinds of sport. I cycle a lot, climb trees , I like to go jogging in the morning, play badminton, tennis, table tennis, billiard ... And there´s a tradition in our family – summer family games – when whole my family plays some games in teams, like darts, volleyball and many other disciplines. I really love it.

A time I really laughed   It´s very difficult for me to say, when the time

I laughed the most was, because I laugh every day. I have really catching laughter, so when I laugh, everyone laughs with me. I often laugh on some old photos of myself or videos from my childhood.

And even my motto is about laughing: "When you cry, you cry alone, but when you laugh, whole world laughs with you. "

My friends   I really appreciate all of my friends and although

we sometimes argue, I never regret meeting them and that we became friends.

I have many mates, but I have only two close friends. One of my close friends is my classmate – Kristína, but everyone calls her Kristy. We met on our first day at school and in a few minutes I realized that she´s very funny and really good friend for me. My other friend´s name´s Laurencia. I have known know her since our first class at primary school. We were always sitting together and we laughed a lot.

My first name and its history   My name – Barbara is derived from Greek βαρβαρος (barbaros) and it means "foreign".

According to legend, Saint Barbara was a young woman killed by her father Dioscorus, who was then killed by a bolt of lightning. She is the patron of architects, geologists, stonemasons and artillerymen. Because of her renown, the name came into general use in the Christian world in the Middle Ages. Today it´s common name all around the world.

Denisa Hybenová

My interests

I love books. I often buy books because I don´t go to library. Sometimes I listen to music on my MP3 player, but I do not have a favourite group or singer. If I have free time I like to watch films in original version with subtitles. My favourite actress is Jessica Alba. And I like cartoons like Shrek or Ice Age or Cars too.

My family

My family isn´t very big. I have one brother. His name is David and he is younger than me. We live with our parents in a family house. I have three cousins. The oldest cousin Ivana goes to university and I don´t often see her. I have a good relationship with my second cousin Tatiana. She is only about two years older than me.

Denisa Hybenová

A time I really laughed

I do not remember when the last time I really laughed was. But I always laugh. Maybe 50 times per day :D . I laugh on comedies, jokes, sometimes on my friends, on myself...

  My friends

I don’t have lots of friends. I prefer a few good friends than many ones whom I don´t know very well. I have three best friends Zuzka, Julka and Erika. It’s a pity that I haven´t seen Zuzka for one year because she moved to Vancouver and we can use Skype for calling.

  My first name and its history

My name is Denisa. Name Denisa has origin in France and it´s from name of a Greek god Dionýz. Denisa is in the calendar on 1. November. Lucky colours are orange, blue, white. Merkur affects people with this name.

Dominik Frič

My name is Dominik Frič. I am 15 years old. I live in Sabinov but I go to GJAR in Prešov

My interests   I have many interests. I like to go out with my

friends often on Friday and Saturday. We go somewhere to eat or to the cinema. I have to travel to Prešov because I have friends in Prešov too. I like to play on computer too. Regarding music I like metal even if I don’t look like that. I prefer the brutal one like black and pagan metal. I don’t watch TV too often. I just watch House M.D. and M.A.S.H. They are my favourite TV shows.

  My family   I have a very good family. I have a father,

mother and one younger sister. I have very good relationships with my parents. There isn’t any rule in our family that we must obey our parents just because they are our parents. They are like our friends, we can discuss with them if we don’t like something.

Dominik Frič

A time I really laughed   I really laughed three years ago during the Biology lesson. We had a very careless teacher so my friend

hid in the wardrobe (during the lesson). Teacher didn’t notice that. Then after a few minutes he started to whistle and the teacher wanted to know who that was. But she couldn’t see anybody singing! We said that it went from outside. My friend was in that wardrobe maybe for ten minutes and when the lesson ended I really laughed.

  My friends   I don’t have many friends but the ones I have are very good. I think my best friends are my current and

former classmates. With my former classmates we are still in contact and we organize many actions together. We have some special places in Prešov (like „Pysk“ and „Kopec“), where we always go.

  My favourite subject   My favourite subjects are History, Religion and Physical education. I love History because I really like all

that things with kings, empires and so on. For Religion education we have a very good teacher that teaches us a lot. And I love Physical education because I don’t exercise so I can rest all the time! All the other subjects I don’t like.

  The career I want to pursue   I have always wanted to be a dentist. Not because I especially love that but I want to have some job in

which I will be „My own boss“. You know I would get up late and go to work at nine o’clock, when I would like to have a holiday I would just call to my nurse and say „Hey Betty! Can you call our patients and redeploy them to other terms. I’m taking two weeks of holiday!“ That job I would like to have!

Erika Hromadová

My interests

Are for example reading books,listening to music, sleeping, going outside with my friends,shopping,watching movies.

I like reading good books because it´s the best way to relax. When I have free time I read lots of books. I prefer novels with exciting story. My most favourite book is „I want to be away for long time“ by Thomas Christopher Green and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.My favourite singers are Beyoncé and Rihanna. I prefer these girls because they have a good voice. They have really good songs and very special looks.

My family

Consists of me and my parents. I have lots of cousins but just little ones so it isn´t good for me.

I like my family because we aren´t the same as other families. I´m the only child of my parents. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is worse for me. When I was young they paid all attention to me and I was happy but now I´m not so happy when I make something wrong. I think the parents are the dearest who we have.

Erika Hromadová

A time I really laughed

Is for me every day because I´m a funny person and people around me are comic too. When I laugh I feel so free as if problems don’t exist. I like people who know how to exist with a

good mood. In my opinion all people can be happy but some of them don´t know how. I actually laugh every day because life is so great and you don´t know when your last day is in your life so I always have smile on my lips.

My friends

Are people who laugh with me and cry when I cry. They accept all my personality with my mistakes.

I prefer people with an exciting character and a good heart. I have to trust to my best friend. Friendship is important for me. It is a connection for the whole life, but people must care about durable friendship. My friends are very good listeners and they know in a second what troubles me. It´s great when we have good friends.

My first name and its history

I am Erika and I think it is a usual name, but it is better than let’s say Gizela or Mariena.( No offence to all women who have these names) :D

Erika or Erica is a feminine given name. The name Erica is Old Norse for "ever powerful" or "ruler of the people." It is also frequently alternatively spelled Erika. Its masculine forms are Erik,Eric and Derec. It is a common name in many European and American countries, and in Australia. Erica is also the name of a yellow German flower. It is also a given name in Japan.

Graciána Adamcová

My interest   I love summer because then I can do all

my hobbies, for example roller skating. I love it and skate everywhere where I can. Last summer I skated with my friends on a cycling path to Šariš. It was funny and crazy. Sometimes I drew a lot, because I went to an Art school, but I finished. I like drawing, but now I almost never draw. My biggest interest is travelling, because I love discovering new places.

My family   Family is very important. I´m happy that

I have a loving family. My mum is the best mum on the world. She loves me, trusts me, understands me and cares for me the best she can. My dad cares for family and he always works. I have two brothers and one sister. I can´t imagine my life without them.

Graciána Adamcová

A time I really laughed   The smile is on my face almost every day. Well now I can’t remember just one situation when I really laughed.

I laugh mainly when I am with my friends. We always do some crazy things. We laugh the most when we play a game, called „Kufor“ . You have to do some silly activities for 2 or 4 minutes. For example, you have to show urine or microscope or some other things without sounds and your friends have to guess what it is. It is so funny.

  My friends   I have a lot of friends, but only some are true friends. I have one friend, who knows everything about me. Her

name is Daniela. I trust her because I know that I can. She is like my own sister. We were classmates at elementary school, but we have been really good friends for about 4 years. She and another 3 girls have been my darlings for about 4 years. Their names are Veronika, Wewa and Ivana. They helped me the most when I needed it. From the first day at the grammar school I have had another true friend. Her name is Klaudia. I didnt‘t know her before, but I know that I can trust her. We understand each other. She helps me and I like her so much. Two boys, Maroš and Peter, are my best friends too. They are good boys. Peter is my ex-classmate and I like when he needs advice from me. I hardly ever see Maroš, but when we meet we still have something to talk about.

    My first name and its history   My name is Graciána. It is an unusual name in my country. Everyone still asks about this name. Well my grandpa

is Gracián and I got name after him. He is my mum´s father and she liked this name. My grandma didn´t like it and she wanted to persuade my mother to change my name. But the nurse said to my mum: „It is your baby and your decision. You want this name for your baby so don‘t change it.“ And so my mum gave me the name Graciána and my grandmother is accustomed to it now. I thank to this nurse because I´m glad that my name is Graciána. I like it.

Kristína Kmecová

the people who have my full trust. I love to be out with them beacuse I know that I can rely on them in a lot Of situations-  funny, happy, sad,  but also embarrassing ... We have the same interests and my friends are my second family.   My favourite subject   It´s not  History or Physical education, but it´s subject, where we can 

relax a bit from learning.  We are talking in the circle about things  of life , about our interests and  many others topics. The Religion education is really an unusual subject  and I like it.

Prešov is Prešov and here this sport is only hardly ever beutiful.

Martin Barnaš

  My favourite lesson

My favourite lesson is Religion education. I like it because I don´t have to do something what I don´t like. During every lesson I just eat, drink

and listen to the teacher. Or I do my homework for the other classes or something like that.   My first name and its history

youngest Dominik is my little sun. :) He is one and a half year. The second brother is eight years old, but he´s got his world of cars. Mommy is my big support when I have hard times. My family is the most important for me. I really love my family!

  My friends   Friends are very precious for me. They

stay with me when I have some problems, and laugh with me when I feel

sad. I have many friends, but 2 or 3 are real friends. With friends I have lots of funny times. When I go out we always do some craps. :D I enjoy every moment with them, and I am thankful for my true friends!

Mima Bernášová

My first name and its history   My mommy chose my name. Miriam is an older English version of Greek name Mary. The origin of the name is Hebrew. It´s meaning "rebellious" . :) Miriam was older sister of Moses. My name isn´t in the Slovak calendar, I found it in the Czech calendar. In the USA this name is very popular, but in our country it is

rare.     A time when I really laught   It was during the last English lesson on Friday. And we played game Bingo. My classmate Baška

wrote numbers on the blackboard, she chose numbers which Rasťo didn´t have written down. He was angry, because he wanted to win. Suddenly Rasťo screamed: "Zbijem ta!" in Slovak. And our teacher said: "Rasťo, in English!" :D We started to laugh loudly. We thought that she would be angry, because he was vulgar. But she took this as a joke.

  My interests   I have been playing the piano for 4 years. I like piano lessons, but I wouldn´t like to do it

professionally. In elementary school I played basketball. Now I don´t do this sport, so I would like to play again. With my friend Zuzka we go to Japanesse language. :D However, my biggest hobby is sleeping.

"SAYONARA!" :)

Mirka Fuchsová

My name is Mirka Fuchsová. I´m 15 years old and I am a student. I live near Prešov , in Kanaš.     My Interests   My most favourite interest is dancing. I dance always

when I want , every day, every minute of my life . I started dancing 8 years ago. I first danced in Šarišanček, now I dance in Šarišan. It is one of the best folk ensemble in Slovakia.  

For over 60 years. young people play, sing and dance in the ensemble, performing annually in over 70 live shows in Slovakia as well as abroad. 

  My Family   My family isn´t big. I live with my parents . I have one

brother, Jakub.  We have already been together in many places.My parents try to give us everything and I admire them for that. I have one brother , Jakub. Recently he has been 18 years old. My mum is perfect. She is there for me when I need something. She has never told me: „No“ . My dad is my idol. I would like to be like him. He works at the secondary school as a director. My brother is my best friend. He knows everything about me and he is perfect too. We are very different  but I cannot imagine that I would not be like that. And I have a dog. I got it for my birthday, it is called Eddy.

Mirka Fuchsová

A time I really laughed   I can’t think about just one moment when I laughed the most, because I laugh every day.

When I was little, I always laughed, my parents laughed with me when I was discovering the world and feeling the family bond and the harmony. Now I have many memories to remember connected with a smile, like recently when we were on a skiing course and we were singing in the bath with my friend and a roommate at the hotel was listening to it, it was awful when we came out of the shower but the whole evening we were laughing at that situation.

  My Friends   I think I haven´t got many friends that I consider to be real friends. They make me happy and

always  give me a reason to laugh but sometimes also to cry. My friends are my life. I have 3 best friends: Franziska, Lucka and Niks. I went to elementary school with Franziska but she went to a different school. Lucka and Niks go to Šarišan with me but they are singers. They are for me like big sisters that I didn´t have.

  The most challenging situation   A year ago when I first found myself in the situation to decide where I would go to secondary

school. It was only my decision which was not easy and my future depended on it. I remember it as if it was just yesterday. But now I know that I have chosen the right school. I got to know great people although I miss my former classmates. Sometimes we meet and go somewhere.
