Smoking in movies

I think, that the cigarettes are drugs. Many people are very dependent on it. I have not tried it, because I don't need it. When some people are nervous, they smoke. But I think that it is not a treatment.
Now is smoking in movies very common. In every film it is practically normal. But I don't think so. Many children see this movies and after that they think, that smoking is normal. They want to try it. Then they see, that when they are smoking, they are for some people interesting. But they come off dependance. Their parents don't know, what children do. And that's why they can't do anything. I think, that it is very big problem in this population. But only few people want to keep at this serious dangerous.
The children are our future. We have to insure them against drugs and poverty.

Martina Sáblíková

Martina Sáblíková (Žďár nad Sázavou, May 27 1987) is a Czech speed skater, specializing in long distance races.

As a junior, Sáblíková already achieved some important results during international tournaments. In 2005 she came seventh in the 5,000m during the World Single Distance Championships. She became Czech youth champion in 1999, 2001 en 2004.

In the 2006 European allround championships in Hamar she finished fourth overall, by placing third at the 3,000m and winning the 5,000m. At the 5,000 meter she surprisingly beat favorite Claudia Pechstein.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin she finished fourth in the 5,000m, behind Clara Hughes, Claudia Pechstein and Cindy Klassen. During her race against Cindy Klassen she was more than 3 seconds faster in the last round, but eventually she missed the bronze medal by a second.
Her parents helped finance her travels abroad while training for Turin by taking out loans. Sáblíková’s mother, Eva, said that she didn’t travel to Turin to see her daughter compete in order to save money for future training at camps abroad.

14. 1. 2007 Martina won the European championship in the speed skating. The championship contained 4 races: 900m, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m. Both of this races she won. In the end she became a winner as the youngest competitress. She was quite surprised, but very happy. She created the new world record.

Looking to the government

Speed skating officials and ČOV representatives said they were ready to appeal to the government to release money for the construction of a speed skating arena.

“We took advantage of Education and Sports Minister Petra Buzková’s visit to Turin, and we lobbied for the project,” said ČOV chairman Milan Jirásek.

Construction of a speed skating arena would cost up to Kč 40 million (€ 1.41 million), said Ladislav Peška, chairman of the Czech Speed Skating Union. “We hope that Martina’s success in Turin can simplify our access to [state] money,” he said.

If the project isn’t funded from state coffers, it seems unlikely that speed skaters will find a private sponsor for the arena, as few companies have taken an interest in supporting the low-profile support.

Education

Education and me

Education is an important part of our lives. I study on grammar school in Nový Jičín. This year is for me very important - before me is graduation and entrance examinations, so I am very nervous of it. It is for me very important. After that I want to study biochemistry on Faculty of science in Palacký University Olomouc. I know, that it is very difficult but I want to try it:)

The Czech system of education

School attendance in Czech Republic is compulsory from the age from 6 to 15. Most children attend state school, but there are also newly established private and church schools. Education at state schools charge schools fees. All schools are coeducational. Children in our school system do not wear uniforms. Handicapped children are educated separately.
The school year starts on 1st September and ends on 30th June of the following year. The school year is divided into two terms. The avarage number of lessons at the secondary school is around 30 a week.

Education in our country includes these stages: pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary.
Pre-school education is provided by creches for children up to 3 years of age and nursery schools for children aged 3 to 6.

At the age of 15 pupils can choose among variety of secondary schools:
a) grammar schools with general and rather academic education which prepare students for university study
b)special schools which include technical colleges, specialized in building , chemistry,....
c)vocational schools training would-be workers for practical jobs.

After the graduates have passed their school-leaving exam they receive the Schools-Leaving Certificate and they can apply for study at univesities and colleges. University and colleges provide tertiary education which lasts from 4 to 6 years. Each secondary school graduate can apply for as many universities and and colleges as he/she likes but before he/she is accepted they have to pass an entrance examination in the subjects in which the university specializes.

A film review

Stepmom

Anna and Ben, the two children of Jackie and Luke, have to cope with the fact that their parents divorced and that there is a new woman in their father's life: Isabel, a successful photographer. She does her best to treat the kids in a way that makes them still feel at home when being with their dad, but also loves her work and does not plan to give it up. But Jackie, a full-time mother, regards Isabel's efforts as offensively insufficient. She can't understand that work can be important to her as well as the kids. The conflict between them is deepened by the sudden diagnose of cancer, which might may be deadly for Jackie. They all have to learn a little in order to grow together.

I really loved this film, because it is a story from real life. I must say, that Susan Sarandon is wonderfully expressive as the mother/ex-wife who's always been there for everyone. I loved the relationship she had developed with her sonand daughter. Julia Roberts was hilarious as the career woman who is more used to last-minute creative solutions than planning ahead. The best scene is, when Isabel celebbrated Christmas with the whole Harrison's family.

I really identified with Isabel. At first she isvery indenpendet. But as soon as she had to look after Ben and Anne, she change into the loving woman/mother. She didn't know, how to become a mother, but I think, that she learnt be.

I was overwhelmed by the sensibility of Chris Columbus, and how this movie gave us so many messages for real life, such as a family relationship and education of kids. But the most important thing, is that leaves you with the question: How would you handle a terrible disease such as Jackie? I enjoyed it so much.

Review of my trip to Prague

Prague is said to be city lying in the heart of Europe. It is the capital and the largest city in the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava river in central Bohemia, it is home to approximately 1.2 million people. Nicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires" and "the golden city". Since 1992, the historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
I was with my class in Prague 5 days ago. The trip abided for three days. We went to Prague by train. I was very surprised, because the train journey was quite silent.We lived in some hostel on Žižkov. It was altogether very old Sokol house and it didn’t enjoy me. In our room were 15 class mates and I think, that it was a lot! It was quite far from centre. But we liked travelling by metro and street car:)
I visited many monuments such as Petřín, Prague castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, The Church of St. Nicolas, Charles Bridge, The Astronomical Clock, Týn Church, The Common house, The Powder Gate, National Museum and The Estates Theatre.
In National Museum I saw Věstonická Venuše. I was very surprised, because it is very small. And after that I visited the Mineralogy exhibition, because it is for me interesting. The other parts are Anthropology exhibition, Zoology exhibition, Pre-history exhibition, Palaeontology exhibition, Library and Gallery of the pantheon.
Out of memories, I was in IMAX. It is 3D cinema. I was very an big experience for me. The film be called The Blessed castle, but it fortunately for me wasn’t be ghostly.
Tke last day I was with my friend on Dresses exhibitions by Blanca Matragi in The Common house. It was never-to-be-forgotten experience for me, because dresses were beautiful and I stroked as princes…

The most famous are Hradčany, with Prague Castle which was founded in the 19. century. Prague became a centre of European significance during the reign of the king and emperor Charles IV. who established the New Town and Charles University.The full name of the cathedral is St. Vitus, St. Wenceslas and St. Adalbert Cathedral. Here are located Prague the tombs of many Czech kings and the crown jewels are housed. This cathedral is an excellent example of Gothic architecture and is the biggest and most important church in the country.The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.Charles Bridge is a famous historical bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river in Prague, Charles Bridge used to be the most important connection between the Old Town, Prague Castle and adjacent areas until 1841.
