Keep it close to your heart

Outline:

• the beginning of the story
• the choice and the cause
• the cause why this is her most beloved necklace

When this little girl was born there was nothing on her body except a warm blanket and a little heart shaped necklace. Back in time, in 1999, great grandma, whose name was Maria, heard that she will have a little princess who is going to be her great grandchild. She needed no more. That afternoon she grabbed her savings and went to her favourite outlet, which was, to be precise, a jewellery outlet. She knew well what she was looking for. She knew years ago what she will search for that day because she dreamt about a baby girl since her grandchild got married. She got that little tiny package and waited for 9 months. The day became, the little girl born and she was touched. She cried when she got the baby in her arms and after that she handed out that little package which she bought 9 months ago. And there was that, the heart shaped necklace. She placed it around her neck, then she kissed her and whispered to her "Keep it close to your heart.". Seventeen years later, the girl still worn the necklace every day. But one day, the necklace torn apart. That was that day when her great grandmother passed away.

My notebook

1)      the outside

a)       average, simply

b)      flowery cover

c)       recycled

d)      little creased àI keep it under the pillow

2)      the inside

a)       colorful

b)      memories

c)       examples

d)      why it is important

My most valuable possession is is my little notebook – it could be called a diary, but it is something different. Just by looking at the object itself it is an average, simple notebook. It has got a cover with colorful flowers on it, but does not look expensive or special at all. The pages are made from recycled paper, they are slim and not even white. Some wrinkles can be found on the cover, probably because I keep this notebook most of the time under my pillow. However, the inside is just as colorful as the flowers on the cover – every log entry is written with a different color. This is the place where my good memories are stored. I write down everything that had a big impact on me, everything that made me smile, laugh or just simply happy. Deep conversations, a family dinner, a walk in the forest or a hug from somebody important… These are memories to be grateful for, memories that belong to me deeply. This is why I keep it secret: because if you read this notebook, you are able to read my soul as well.

Mickey

Outline:

• How we got him

• His outer characteristics
• His inner characteristics
• His (annoying) habits

Mickey

Mickey is my dog who was given by one of our neighbours. He is a mixture of hungarian vizsla and wroughtweiler, however, he looks like a fatty little bear with his light brown hair. We have got him about six moths ago, but he grows so fast, that now he can open the door by jumping to it. In spite of being a playful, he often does a lot of mess, because he likes biting and tearing things apart. If he is tired, he sleeps in funny positions and he looks, as though he was dead. No one is allowed to enter to his territory - our garden - because of his fast and stealth attack for licking his prey or jumping to him, unless the intruder gives him something to chew. He is fond of eating and chewing strange things, for instance: our stairs, bench and anything, that can create a lot of rubbish. Despite all of his negative habits, we love him, because he always make us smile.

My best friend

 In this essay I will be talking about someone I have only known for a bit more than half a year, yet we have become really close to each other. Her name is Szilvi and she is my best friend.

We met about 9 months ago in Denmark, where we both went to study in a folk high school. I remember for days we wouldn’t even talk to each other and to be honest I would have never thought that we would ever become friends. After a few weeks, we found out we actually had quite a few things in common so we started hanging out together, sometimes we would go out and talk at night when we couldn't sleep. What I really like about her is that no matter how busy she is, I can always turn to her for support or advice, and also that I can tell her anything, she will understand. I know I can trust and count on her no matter what, and this is true vice versa too. Another thing that makes her a very good friend is that she is always up for a party. I think all that is really hard to find in a person, so I am very glad I have such a great friend.

The Red Hoody

     As I have already mentioned earlier in my last paragraph, I love symbols and all of my belongings mean me something important like this red hoody. To other people, it looks like a simple part of clothing but to me, it's more than it looks.
     Last winter, I received a part of clothing which was ordered on E-Bay from China by my father. It's a red colored sweatshirt with a hood and is made from cotton. There are some titles on it: two letters (D.O.) on the front side, a number (88) and a word (WOLF) on the back. These refer to my favorite South-Korean band called EXO and these kinds of sweatshirts are usually bought by huge fans of this band. The letters D.O. are the stage name of my favorite member Do Kyungsoo, "WOLF" on the back side is the title of the band's most popular song but I don't know what the number 88 means.
     I wore this sweatshirt more times during cold days but I had to leave it in my wardrobe because the weather was getting warmer. But during this summer, I used it as a part of my pajamas. In Mai, my parents told me that they would divorce and I was very sad. EXO, to which my red hoody refers, meant me the continual source of happiness because the band's songs are always about never giving up. Therefore I felt myself in safety every time I wore this sweatshirt. I got a feeling as if someone would hug me and say: "everything is alright". So if I feel lonely, I wear this hoody to boost my mood.

The painting

The painting

- the most valuable gift I have ever got

- what it depicts

- where it can be found

           It is commonly believed that getting home-made presents have more values than getting bought ones. After I came home from abroad I got a painting from my dad. It is such a meaningful piece of art, Budapest at night is depicted on the picture. It shows the view from my grandmother’s balcony who lives in the inner city close by the Danube and the Chain Bridge. The emotion of the painting is peaceful; however, the mountains and the sky are painted with dark colours, such as black and red. Because of its size I can easily put everywhere in my room, although it doesn’t have a frame so it cannot be hung on the wall. In conclusion, having this memorable object reminds me of my experiences abroad, my home and my talented dad who made me this thoughtful gift. As long as I don’t find a more important object, this will be the one I admire.

My hometown

-        -  introduction

-        -  places you can visit

My hometown is called Párkány, it is in Slovakia. It lies on the shores of the Danube, on the other side is Esztergom. The two towns are connected by a famous bridge called Mária Valéria. It was destructed during World War II and was rebuilt in 2001. On the list of what you can visit in Párkány, the first is the thermal spa Vadas. It attracts many tourist in the summer,mostly from the Czech Republic and Poland. The centre of the town was renewed nearly, they made a pedestrian street, placed two fountains and planted trees. From March to October there is a stage in the centre and there are several concerts and attractions to watch. The attendance to the cinema has increased in the past few years,because they started to play films in Hungarian,too.
