A PIECE OF GOOD NEWS

Currently there is hardly any positive piece of news. BBC as well as CNN mostly describe the situation in Libya or Japan. I've only found some good news on the Polish internet site. This piece of news comes from Planica, Slovenia, where today the last contest in ski jumping took place. The current season has ended and also our best ski jumper Adam Małysz has decided to end his spectacular sports career. Our eagle from Wisła, was third today in the general classification after only one series of jumps. Due to the strong wind the organizers of the competition had to quit the contest. Planica was a very fortunate place for Poles today as Kamil Stoch won the contest and Adam Małysz was on the third place. Also thousands of Polish fans were in Planica to support Adam Małysz and thank him for his all career. All sports fans from Poland feel proud of Małysz, because during his all career he has changed the countenance of Polish wintersports. Thank You Adam for all!!!Polish sport will miss You!!!We will miss You!!!

THE BOOK FROM MY CHILDHOOD

To be honest as I was a little bit younger I used to read more books than now.It is because the fact that as a smaller boy i had more spare time that I could devote for some activities, such as reading books for example. As far as I can remember fantasy was the literary genre that always interested and inspired me. Even now nothing has changed and I still have one author that in my opinion is the best and writes the most gripping novels. You will probably guess quickly what is the name of this author- Yes it's J.R.R. Tolkien. You would also probably ask why I have chosen this author and what makes him as well as his books so good and interesting. The answer to this question is so simple. Tolkien had created a magnificent world, which is full of magic, ghastly creatures, wicked wizards and finally the bravest and strongest protagonists. Also the plot of his novels is so gripping and that everyone who is reading Tolkien's books is curious to know what will happen next to the heroes, how will the action roll and how will a particular chapter end. It's a very tough decision for me to choose one, particular written by Tolkien that would be the best. I like Tolkien's fantasy and so far I have read "The Hobbit or There and Back Again" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and I enjoy them both. I'm also planning to read in the nearest future another trilogy called "Sillmarilion". My justification for choosing Tolkien as my favourite author is that whenever I read his books I feel as I would have been taking part in the novel's plot, fighting with the characters and helping them, discovering some myths or hidden truths and puzzling some riddles out. I am fully absorbed all the time. And that's why I have chosen Tolkien. Thanks for Your attention.

My neigbourhood

Greetings:)I want to say a few words about the area in which I currently live. But let's start from the beginning, for nearly 21 I have been living in Poznań, in Grunwald district. Grunwald was a very tranquil district, situated near the city centre. By many it is called a sleeping area, but nowadays a lot of events happen there as e.g Lech Poznan matches, some concerts on the stadium,or even some small events organized on the estate terrain. However last year I moved to a small village called Lusówko near Tarnowo Podgórne, probably in the richest commune in Poland. My life has changed a lot since I have lost my contact with my old friends. I had also got used live in a new plae, even more tranquil than Grunwald district away from Poznań, from the entertainments that a big city may offer. Even without a supermarket. Although I like very much the place where I'm living now, It's a nice change to move from block of flats to my own house, which is bigger, without any neighbours downstairs or upstairs:)Since I've passed my driving licence exam the journey to the University or to a party is not a problem, and I still have my grandparenst living in Poznań so I can stay for a night at their house...After some time I enjoy a lot my new life, my new acquiantances and I see everything in bright colours:)To be continued...C ya
