Kuch Kuch Hota Hai – Something happens Juni 2, 2008

Rahul (Sharukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol) are students at St. Xavier’s College. They are best friends, and Rahul loves Anjali. But one day Tina (Rani Mukerji), the principal’s daughter arrives at St.Xavier’s. She is beautiful, feminine and intelligent. Rahul falls in love for her as soon as he meets her, which was just the time that Anjali realized that she has some feelings for Rahul, because he said in class that love begins with friendship. This creates a romance triangle. One day, Rahul confesses his love for Tina to Anjali. So Anjali leaves college suddenly, to forget the heartbreak he caused.

Tina & Rahul marry and have a child, whom tina gives the name Anjali. Tina dies in childbirth, but she had written eight letters before her death. Every year, on Anjali’s birthday, she is given a letter and hears her mother’s loving wishes. In the eighth and also last letter, the little girl is told about the woman from whom she has her name. Tina writes that Rahuls first love could be the mother for Anjali that she needs and wants.

The little Anjali believes that the older Anjali can make her father happy again, and decides to find Anjali. Finally Anjali finds Anjali. And her father and his old love meet in a camp, where Anjali wos a camp-teacher and Anjali Jr. her pupil. Rahul soon finds old feelings reviving. However, Anjali has to marry another man, Aman. So, there are a lot of complications, but in the end Aman steps aside to let the couple marry at last.

Indias animal world

Because of its landscape varietis we find a very species-rich animal world in India.

There are about 350 kinds of mammal, 1200 kinds of bird, 400 kinds of reptile and 200 kinds of amphibian domestic.

The two most famous mammals are the big Indian elephant

 

and the beautiful tiger, which was threatened of becoming extinct for a long time. But now the existence can recover again, since protection devices were built.

Indias bird world with over 1200 native kinds – that is more than in Euroope – is extremely various. The national bird is the peacock.

 

Monkeys are also very important to India. Rhesus monkes are considered as holy to the Hindus, they may not be troubled and therefore they also live in cities.                                              

NOW TO THE GEOGRAPHY April 20, 2008

India is with a surface of 3.287.590 square kilometers the seventh-largest state of the earth.

The highest point is the mountain Kangchendzönga, with 8.598 meters height, which rises in direct border to Nepal. The highest mountain which is completely on Indian area is the nanda Devi, with 7.822 meters.

 

 

India’s longest and certainly most important river is the Ganges or also called Ganga. The Brahmaputra, which flows through the country in the northeast, unites with the Ganges and forms before the aperture into the gulf of Bengalen an enourmous delta.

One of my best friends April 2, 2008

One of my best friends is my penpal KangXi. She is from China and 13 years old. Xi has black hair and darkbrown eyes. She is always very nice and can always give good tips.

Xi and I have the same hobbie, she loves, as I, music. Since she is four years old she plays the piano. She also likes English very much, because she can comunicate better because of it. She also likes Geography, because she learns about different cultures, cities,…

KangXi lives with her parents in a small apartment in Urumqui. But she is only in the week-end there, because she goes to a boarding school.

I can always trust my penpal, I can tell her all my secrets, because I know that she won’t tell it anyone others, altough.. if she would I wouldn’t be angry, because she doesn’t anyone others without me from Austria.

Even though we haven’t met yet, we are very good friends. I know her very well and I really don’t want to loose her.

English in Action März 10, 2008

Last week we had English in Action. Two native speakers from Great Britain came to us. Our class was split up into two groups of about 15. Every lesson the teacher changed. In the first lesson we had Nick, next lesson Moira and so on. Both were really nice, they always had fun with us. We got a book, with which we worked the first three lessons. In the fourth lesson we made quizzes or played games. In the fifth lesson we worked on our projects, and in sixth lesson we worked on our show for Friday.

I made my project with Doris and Karina. We’ve chosen to make a biography about ourselves.  We looked for some photos when we were babies, when we went to kindergarten and when we went to primary school. We took the best ones and gave it into a power-point-presentation. On Friday, when we saw all the parents who would watch our presentation we got very nervous. We didn’t want to make the presentation, because it was so embarrassing, but we made it, and it wasn’t as horrible as we thought.

Altogether I really enjoyed English in Action. We had very much fun. I don’t know if my English has improved so much, but we learned some slang words and that was really interesting.

The Lion King Januar 23, 2008

Today I would like to tell you something about my favourite film when I was a little girl. I think the Lions King is a very cute and fascinating film about africas animal world.

A short summary…

 

Everything turns on the everlasting circle of the life, shown in the life of the lion Simba. In the beginning sequence of the film the son of Sarabi and Mufasa, the lion’s king, is showed the animal world as their coming ruler. All animals bow to him, only one isn’t with the ceremony: Scar, brother of Mufasa and angry about his lost the throne. When Simba grows up slowly, his father tells him about being the king of the animals soon. 

The fact that the light of Mufasas rule already goes out shortly after, is because of Scar. First he lures Simba into a trap and when his father wants to save him, he overthrows him in the death. He gives the guilt, however, quite only to the young lion, because he wants to become the king of the lions. Of full shame and reproaches the young Simba leaves his empire for good. For good? No, that’s not true, because there is still Pumba, the wild boar and Timon the stripe croissant!! 

If you don’t know how the film ends, don’t ask me, watch it!! It’s absolutely great!!
