Macedonia
My country
I live in Macedonia. The capital city is
Skopje. Macedonia also has a new
name, North Macedonia. It’s also located in Europe.

Population,
language, places and food
In Macedonia the population is around 2
million people. Here in Macedonia most people speak Macedonian language. If you
want to go on a vaccation here in Macedonia, you don’t have to worry about how
much money you bring, because here in Macedonia things are very cheap. There
are so many beautiful places to visit. For example, you should visit the Canyon
Matka, Mavrovo National Park, Ohrid Town, Stobi, the Old Bazaar and many more!
The food here is great. There are many choices on what to eat. There are also a
lot of famous traditional meals that people here love, for exapmle Musaka (meat
& potato dish), Sarma (cabbage rolls with meat & rice), Ajvar (red
paprika spread), Pastrmajlija, Turli Tava (mixed veggies and meat in a pan),
Polneti piperki (stuffed bell peppers), Zelnik/Pita (stuffed pastry/pie) and
many more!

People
and homes
I think in Macedonia people can sometimes be
rude, but also be very helpful and interesting to hang out with. People nowadays
usually live in buildings. But there are also some people that live in houses
as well. Many people that still live in houses, have modern style houses.

Hobbies
and popular activities
Teenagers here like to go out and hang out
with their friends in their free time. They also like going shopping. Adults in
the other hand, like working around the house. Popular outdoor activities here
are Hiking, Rock climbing, Diving, Jogging and more! Here in Macedonia, if you
are a tourist you can Explore Skopje, go on a day trip, go on the beach etc. Also,
you can go on a sightseeing holiday and visit places of interest.
In my
opinion, I don’t mind living here, but I would still prefer to live somewhere else!

"Water pollution, and how it effects us."
Homework
"Water
pollution, and how it effects us."
Aleksandar Davitkovik 8v n.4
Water pollution is defined as the
contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities. Water
pollution is not just harmful to the various animals living in it, it is also
harmful to us.
Water pollution is when bodies of water
get contaminated with industrial and agricultural effluents.
Water bodies in the vicinity of urban
areas are extremely polluted. This is the result of dumping garbage and toxic
chemicals by industrial and commercial establishments.
The effects of water pollution can be
long term and affect future generations.
Some of these water-borne diseases are
Typhoid, Cholera, Paratyphoid Fever, Dysentery, Jaundice, Amoebiasis and
Malaria. Chemicals in the water also have negative effects on our health.
Pesticides – can damage the nervous system and cause cancer because of the
carbonates and organophosphates that they contain.
-The Minamata Incident
In 1932, a factory in Minamata City,
Japan began dumping its industrial effluent – Methylmercury, into the
surrounding bay and the sea. Methylmercury is incredibly toxic to humans and
animals alike, causing a wide range of neurological disorders.
Its ill-effects were not immediately
noticeable. However, this all changed as methylmercury had started to
bioaccumulate inside shellfishes and fish in the Minamata Bay. These affected
organisms were then caught and consumed by the local population. Soon, the
ill-effects of methylmercury was becoming apparent.
Initially, animals such as cats and dogs
were affected by this. The city’s cats would often convulse and make strange
noises before dying – hence, the term “dancing cat disease” was coined. Soon,
the same symptoms were observed in people, though the cause was not apparent at
the time.
Other affected people showed symptoms of
acute mercury poisoning such as ataxia, muscle weakness, loss of motor
coordination, damage to speech and hearing etc. In severe cases, paralysis
occurred, which was followed by coma and death.
These diseases and deaths continued for almost 36 years before it could
be officially acknowledged by the government and the organisation.
Since then, various control measures of
water pollution have been adopted by the government of Japan to curb such
environmental disasters in the future.
Water pollution, to a larger extent, can
be controlled by a variety of methods. Rather than releasing sewage waste into
water bodies, it is better to treat them before discharge. Practising this can
reduce the initial toxicity and the remaining substances can be degraded and
rendered harmless by the water body itself. If the secondary treatment of water
has been carried out, then this can be reused in sanitary systems and
agricultural fields.
A very special plant, the Water Hyacinth
can absorb dissolved toxic chemicals such as cadmium and other such elements.
Establishing these in regions prone to such kinds of pollutants will reduce the
adverse effects to a large extent.

Film Review
Home Alone
Family comedy, 1990
For
the Christmas holiday a young boy's family goes on vacation in France. But, the
morning they leave to the airport, they forget their son, Kevin, who is left
home alone. Kevin has to defend his house of two robbers, who will try to rob
his house. So, he sets traps all over his house and try to keep them away.
I
love the actors in this film. Macaulay Culkin plays Kevin and Joe Pesci and Daniel
Stern play the two robbers, Harry and Marv. My favourite character is Kevin
because he is very smart and funny. Also, I think that this film is good
because it’s the perfect Christmas film to watch with your family.
I
give Home Alone ★★★★★, go and watch it soon!
