ALEXANDRESCU ARIADNA

WRITING/pg 17

Hello, my name is Ariadna Alexandrescu and I'm a student at CNITV. I like reading and hanging out with my friends. I live in Pipera in a house. . I like it here because if I am bored I can go out and play with my neighbors. I also found out that a few colleagues live very close to my house. In this area there are a few cars so the air is clean and children can play outside their gardens without worrying. The place where I live is very convenient for my parents as well because it doesn't take so long for them to arrive at their workplace .

WRITING/pg 65

I my country, when two people get married they go to the church accompanied by their friends and family. The bride wears a white dress and the groom wears a suit. The dress symbolizes purity. After the two swear faith and mutual help the the fresh married pair goes to a restaurant with their guests (family and friends). There, they eat and dance and at the end of the party the cook bring a wedding cake. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 16pt;">The pair cuts the first slice.

ANDREI REBECCA


 * ABOUT ME **

My name is Rebecca Andrei, I am 13 years old and I study at Tudor Vianu National High School.

I live in Bucharest, a large Romanian industrial city, next to Bazilescu Parc, in a peaceful neighbourhood that has conveniently close public transport, and boasts beautiful homes along with helpful residents. I adore the area in which I live, mostly because of how atypical it is compared to other neighbourhoods. In some urban areas, people complain of the lack of greenery, whereas we take a tremendous amount of pride in our abundance of it. Similarly, I have heard disgruntled parents mutter about the lack of space, near their homes, for their children to play in, but in my area, there are copious amounts of it.

As for myself, my favourite hobby is reading, but because of my general lack of time, I can rarely indulge in quality perusing of a book and have to settle for the rushed version.


 * A Traditional Wedding in Romania **

When most Romanian people think of a traditional wedding, they think of white dresses, a lot of flowers and churches. It turns out, that although these elements are part of a typical wedding, they are not all there is to it.

One of the main characteristics of a traditional wedding that makes it so utterly appealing and specatcular are the superstitions that have been believed in for hundreds of years. The most popular of these is the kidnapping of the bride, something which many people say is the key to a truly sensational wedding. The groom is supposed to look after the bride at the wedding, and when he isn’t paying attention, the bride is stolen by some of the guests at the wedding reception. Afterwards, they demand ransom in order to allow her to return to her new husband. Another one is that two different brides must not see each other on their wedding day, otherwise they would both have bad marriages.

Superstitions are not all there is, though. There are also traditions that have been around for a long time. One of these is that the bride is supposed to step on the groom’s foot at the wedding to keep him wrapped around her finger for the rest of their lives. Another is that somebody is supposed to get out of the church with a bucket of water, in which the groom and bride will put money.

Having said that, traditional Romanian weddings are completely astounding for everyone involved.


 * A Letter of Complaint **

To whomever it may concern,

I feel it is appropriate for me to write a letter to your company to express my dissatisfaction with your merchandise, that I purchased from a catalogue, and to also establish the consequences of the untruthful advertisement that your company practices.

Recently, I found myself perusing a catalogue that contained multiple articles about clothing and about how to order them, when two of your company’s productions caught my eye: a shirt and a pair of trousers. After a while of carefully considering whether I should buy them or not, I decided that I was quite enamoured with them, thus purchasing the clothing.

My troubles started the day after that one, when the items I had bought had arrived. I was feeling rather impressed with the fast delivery and thought that if I would ever find something to my liking from you, I would buy it, if only for the incredibly prompt delivery. That is, until I saw the products that I had purchased.

The first thing I noticed was the fact that the shirt had no buttons, even though in the advertisement it was written in bold letters, underneath the picture: “All buttons are included.”. Naturally I was appalled, but I decided to refrain from reporting this error, if only to spare myself the trouble that comes with dealing with bureaucracy. After a thorough scrutiny of the trousers, I decided to put them on, when the unthinkable happened: the zip snapped. The fact that they were so large for me that I had considered wearing a belt before I put them on is a testament and that it still broke is a testament to their poor quality.

Therefore, I decided to forego the normal procedures regarding filing a complaint and take the matter into my own hands, so to speak, by writing your company a letter. As such, I will return the purchased items and demand a full refund for them as it is my right. I expect a letter containing a formal apology from your company for your deceitful behaviour.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully, A disgruntled client, Rebecca Andrei.

In Romania, the "Wedding Season" appears when the wine is old enough and in large quantity. No wedding can take place in the big post, during the 40 days before Christmas or Easter. Tradition requires that the husband's parents ask for the girl's hand from her parents. Their baptismal gods, or others, join the nuptial family at the church wedding and at the later reception, which will last for an entire night. In the past, the wedding party lasted three days and three nights.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Traditional wedding ** //Marry in Octomber if you wish// //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">A special wedding to distinguish ! //  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">A traditional wedding in Romania can be one of the most authentic way to combine the old and new traditions, joined together in time. Some traditions are kept by most of the young couples getting married: they go to the city hall in the morning to get legally married, then come back at home to get dressed up and in the evening they go to the church to get married in front of God. After that all go to the wedding party. __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Customs: __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">The most interesting custom at a Romanian wedding is to kidnap the bride around midnight. This tradition is from the eastern part of Europe, the bride is kidnapped by the groom’s friends, who ask for ransom. The bride is often taken to a bar, a club or in the park. They negociate on the phone and when they obtaine the agrrement, the bride is brought back to the wedding. The ransom is usually paid in fine wine bottles and it can also be a request for the groom to make a speech to show his love for the wife. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Another custom in Romanian wedding is to trade the wedding veil for a head scarf, while the orchestra sing a popular song: //Ia-ti mireasa ziua buna, de la tata, de la muma”, (//Say goodbye, dear bride, to your father and your mother). So, the godmother takes the veil and replaces it with a scarf. This gesture symbolises that the girl become a young married woman. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">The groom comes to bride’s house to take her to the church. After the ritual, the couple, the parents and the godparents have a round dance around a middle church table. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">At the wedding party, all the people bring gifts for the newly wed couple. In Romania, these gifts are mostly money in an envelope. The couple uses this money to pay for the wedding, the honeymoon or even a car or some percent of an apartment price. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">During the party, the bride throws the bouquet and the young woman that catches will marry soon. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">After the wedding cake is served, the wedding is almost finished. The bride and the godmother and all the ladies get together in a traditional dance named HORA. They dance together and if a man wants to dance with the bride, he has to pay money. These are the bride’s money, to do as she wishes.

I hope it was a mistake and it would never happen again. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">From: Vlad Cainamisir <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;">Romeo and Juliet <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dates/Times: Monday and Friday, 7:30PM <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Location: C.N.I.”Tudor Vianu”, Ion Mincu Str., Bucharest 011358 <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Admission: Free for students, 10$ for Adults <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">William Shakespeare‘s amazing play, Romeo and Juliet is an absolute sensation.

__<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing/17 __ <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> My name is Ana Cirligeanu and I live in Bucharest, Romania. My home is close to Piata Victoriei, and I like that because it’s close to school and there are many public transports nearby. There are some reasons I don’t like this place, but mainly because it’s very crowed sometimes. In my free time I like to draw, to listen to music and to watch the TV, movies or TV series. __<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing/65 __ <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> On the day of the wedding, before the church service, the groom and the bride prepare for the wedding. After, the guests and the new weds dance a traditional dance and the godmother breaks a sweet bread over the bride’s head and shares it with everybody. At the church the priest does the service and puts the wedding rings on the new weds’ fingers. In Romania, there are some traditions like the waltz of the bride, the kidnap of the bride or the bride throwing the bouquet, and a superstition says that the woman who catches it will marry to following year; another superstition is that the rain on the wedding day brings luck. __<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing/75 __ <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Dear Mr. or Mrs., <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I am writing you to express my complaint about the items I ordered from your shop last week. Last week, on Wednesday I ordered a shirt and a pair of trousers and their poor quality makes me feel deep disappointed. First of all, the shirt didn’t have any button, which made it impossible to wear. Secondly, when I tried the trousers, the zip broke and again, they’re impossible to wear. Also, the order didn’t arrive in four days, as you promised, but in three weeks. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I don’t want to change the items for new ones, as they are bad quality products. I wish to return these clothes and receive a full refund; otherwise I might take legal action. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Thank you and waiting for your reply, <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Ana Cirligeanu __<span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing/103 __ <span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Every year, by the time school year ends, the high school’s band has two concerts.

Traditional weddings in Romania

In Romania, when two people get married, they follow some steps.

First, the bride and the groom go to the city hall accompanied by family and friends and they take vows in front of the mayor.Second, they are going to the church and there is the religious ceremony and they are married by the price. The bride is dressed with a white drees which represent purity. After this, the bride and the groom with family and friends go to a party when they eat, drink and dance all night.

About me

Hello there! My name is Corvin and I’m 13 years old. I am a student at “Tudor Vianu” college and I am very passionate about mathematics. I live in Bucharest, one of the prettiest cities in the country. The north has some of the nicest skyscrapers, and the south has old buildings that resemble the Parisian architecture. I love the city for its monuments, however I despise the people that disrespect their country and don’t care about the place they live in.

Letter of complaint May 13th, 2017

Customer service manager

7 Swan street, Sydney, Australia

Subject: Items of clothing

Dear Sir or Madam,

I wish to express my dissatisfaction with the shirt and trousers, which have been purchased online on May 7th. When the order arrived, I was surprised to see no buttons on the shirt, and the trouser’s zipper broke on using them the first time.

I’m not considering myself guilty because of the lack of quality of these products. I think it is unacceptable to receive the items in such poor condition. I have ordered from this website before, and it is the first time I have received faulty products. Therefore, I am writing to ask for a full refund of the $19.99 shirt and $24.99 trousers.

I look forward to hearing from you withing the next two weeks.

Yours truly,

Corvin Ghita.

Romanian weddings

Romanian weddings are some of the prettiest ones I’ve ever seen! The traditions are essential and people always follow them, creating a unique experience that separates it from the others. The groom wears a luxurious tuxedo or a suit, but the bride is certainly the center of attention! Her dress is totally white, with fine details such as silk ornaments. The ceremony takes place in a christian church, and the pope is the one to announce the marriage. Afterwards there is a large party, where the glamorous cake is seen by all guests. The party usually lasts many hours, people leaving even in the morning!

School event Musical: Mamma mia!

Dates/times: Monday-Friday, 6:30 pm

Location: Cinema City, College Avenue no.15

Admission: $15/person.

Phyllida Lloyd’s first musical has become one of the greatest hits of the year!

JIANU IOANA

My name is Ioana Jianu, and I am a student at “Tudor Vianu” National College. I live in Bucharest, in the neighborhood Bucurestii Noi. It is near the exiting of the city. Because of this, it isn’t overpopulated and noisy. It is actually quiet, as I live near the park too. There aren’t too much cars, either: I can play football or badminton on the street with my neighbors without worrying about cars. But, at the same time, I am not too isolated as I can reach school easily by tram or subway. I really like where I live!
 * Writing an article**

Although the tradition says that the wedding should last 3 nights and 3 days, it is only practiced in some rural areas. In the urban areas, the party keeps all night till morning following as much as possible these habits: __The Bridal Waltz__ - The first special moment marking the opening of the party. After that, the godfathers enter the dance floor followed by the rest of the wedding guests. In some areas it is also used to dance bride-father and mother –groom. __Cutting the wedding cake__- It is said to be the first task that the bride and groom do together as a family. __Throwing the bouquet__ - The bride will call all the unmarried girls on the ring and stand with her back at them. She will throw the bouquet over her head. The one who will catch it is said to be married soon.

May 15th, 2017 The manager Hair Shop 14 Abbey Gate, London, UK

Dear Sir/Madam, I’m writing to complain about a hair drier I bought in your shop last week and about the treatment I received when I tried to return it a few days later. I bought the hair drier-Philips X2000-on 5 of May. When I tried to use for the first time, the handle became hot and began to melt. I turned it off immediately and returned to your shop on 7 of May. I explained the situation to one of the assistants and asked for my money back but she was extremely rude to me. So I decided to write to you. Please help me and solve this situation, I want a full refund as soon as possible.

Your faithfully, Corinne Miku

Romanian wedding traditions are kept today by most of the young couples getting married. In Romania, weddings usually go like this: the couple goes to the city hall in the morning to get legally married, then back at home to get all dressed up and, in the evening, they go to church to get married in front of God. From the church, everybody goes to the wedding party.
 * Romanian weddings **

One of the most interesting customs at a wedding is to kidnap te bride around midnight, the bride being kidnapped by the groom’s friends. The bride is most often taken to a bar, a club, in the city center or in a park. The guys who kidnapped the girl call the groom and demand a ransom. They negotiate on the phone and when they reach an agreement, the bride is brought back to the wedding. Usually, the ransom is either paid in whiskey or fine wine bottles for the friends of the groom to drink or it can also be a request for the groom to make a speech to declare his love to his wife. Some Romanian superstitions for the wedding day:
 * 1) Rain means luck in marriage
 * 2) The bride should cry before the weeding so she would be happy in her marriage
 * 3) A spider found in the creases of the dress means good luck
 * 4) No weddings are allowed in feasting time
 * 5) It is really bad luck to see another bride on your wedding day.

MIHALCEA TUDOR

= Article about the town I live in =

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> My name is Tudor Mihalcea and I am 13 years old. I study at National High of Informatics. I live in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. It's a very big city, but it provides all the means of transport, so you can arrive from the north of the city to the south of it in no more than half an hour. However, there are lots of traffic congestions. This is one reason why I don't like this city. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> Bucharest has lots of large shopping centres. Unfortunately, like i mentioned above, even in the underground parking there is a traffic congestion. However, there are some game shops, that's why I like these shopping centers. Whenever I go in one of these, I always make a stop at one particular shop. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> You might think Bucharest is a horrible city, but if I put in their cars all the people that love this city, I am sure i will make a big traffic congestion!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> Traditional wedding in Romania

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> In Romania, most of the couples get married on Saturdays or Sundays. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> Besides the bridesmaids and the best man, the bride and the groom must choose the godparents. These two must be married and they participate at the religious ceremony. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> It is forbidden for two brides to see each other in their wedding day because it means bad luck and divorce. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> Another funny tradition is the kidnapping of the bride. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> These traditions are different from region to region in our country.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Review for the school concert

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Last Wednesday, at around 3:30 pm, I took part at the school's annual concert. The best singers formed two bands. One was a rock band and the other one was singing classic music. I am not getting impressed easily, but i must admit that I was quite surprised when I heard the bands singing. The rock band, H@rdr0ck4lyf3 was the most amazing moment I've seen in my life. The atmosphere was exactly like an ordinary concert, but this one had some more advantages. There was a bar from where you could buy some stuff for free and also some CHAIRS, which are very important if your feet fall asleep. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> After the bands, some children tried their luck and started to sing karaoke and play Guitar Hero. The best 2 singers received from the bands a rock guitar and a classic guitar. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> I forgot to say that even if it is a school concert, it does exist an admission fee: for the parents of students it's 5 pounds, and for the students that not learn at this school it's 10 pounds. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> If you like what happened this year, make sure to participate next year. I promise it'll be way more better than this one!

Traditional wedding in Maramures The weddings in Maramures are very special, thanks to their traditions. The bride has a beautiful white costume, composed by a shirt with beautifully colored decorations and a skirt. She has some accessorices too, like: a flower crown, a while veil on her head and a bunch of flowers. The groom has a similar costume, but he weares long white trousers and a black hat on his head. The wedding cake must be decorated by the wedded pair, and during the wedding, the bride must be „stolen” by a group of friends. They will take her to another place, where she can have more fun. <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;">In the end, the wedded pair will say goodbye to their families, and they will live the rest of their lifes in their house, near their children.

I’m Andreea Patarlageanu, a teenage girl who lives in Bucharest, which is dirty and very crowded. Fortunately, my parents bought an apartement in the green area of this city, so there are lots of parks where I can go, when I want to relax. I really like to ride my bicycle with my dad in this parks. I usually go with my friends too and we play badminton. It’s a very pleasant sensation, especially when it’s spring and it isn’t very hot outside. I like the place where I live, because it’s more beautiful then the rest of the capital, where there aren’t trees and big parks where you can go with your family, but there are lots of cars and a disturbing noise.

 * ABOUT ME AND WHERE I LIVE**

I live in the center of my city: a crowded and noisy area, but, luckly my small street is more quiet and calm than the big boulevards that are around it. I stay in a spacious, welcoming and comfortable house. Around me there are a lot of things to do: shops, restaurants, museums and many memorial houses- that’s the perk of living in the city center! I love my neighborhood: it combines the loud life of a moder city and the calming atmosphere and beautiful architecture of old Bucharest.


 * WEDDINGS IN MY COUNTRY**

Just like in most countries, in Romania the wedding is one of the most important moment in one’s life. Interesting and special about romanians’ weddings are the traditions here. For people trading the veil for a head scarf which symbolizes the transfer from a girl to a married woman. Another one of them is the moment when the bride-before the ceremony- sits on a chair and the grandmother breaks sweet bread above her head for good luck. You ‘re welcome to come and see. It is an unique mix of old and new.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">With updated sound equipement and natural light source was full of families, teachers and members of the local community all of whom had an enjoyable and entertaining evening ,at an acceptable price- only 15 lei, watching the wealth of talent demonstrated by the groups “ArenaX” and “T.A.L.”. Those 2 performed a challenging repertory of old songs with some shinig solo performances.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“ArenaX” conducted by Tomesc Adrian demonstrated a high level of knowledge performing some classical rock. They showed a level of skill and musicalitythat is rarely found in school groups.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I was pleased to see a high standard of solo and smaller performances froma wide range of instruments.

My name is Serban Mario, I live in Bucharest and I am 13 years old.I am a student at“Tudor Vianu” National College. Living in Bucharest is a real challenge, due to the city being really crowded and polluted, but at the same time it gives you the most opportunities and the best chances to live the life you’ve always wanted.

In Romania the wedding is a really important part of someone’s life. It starts with the Church formal ceremony and then the party starts. A wedding party can last up to even 16 hours and can have as many as 7 kinds of food. In Ardeal for example the church ceremony starts at 12 and ends at 14 and then the real party starts ,with good music and food.

On 1st of January I ordered a pair of trousers and a shirt from your site. The delivery was realy fast to be honest and when I opened the box everything looked pretty nice but then is saw that the shirt had no buttons and when I tried on the trousers ,the zip broke. As I am not responsible for these problems I expect to receive a full refund and a sincere apology.

Thanks in advance,

I am a student at “Tudor Vianu” college and I am very passionate about mathematics. I live in Bucharest, one of the prettiest cities in the country. The north has some of the nicest skyscrapers, and the south has old buildings that resemble the Parisian architecture. I love the city for its monuments, however I despise the people that disrespect their country and don’t care about the place they live in.
