Summary of the book "Speak"
The story "speak" describes a year-long excerpt from the life of a twelve-years-old girl. During this year, the girl Melinda had to go through a lot in high school. There was not one people, who wanted to be her friend. Everyone kept away from her and even her best friends had left her.
This all began at a party at one from her schoolmate’s house. She was asked by the most popular boy of her school for a dance and she agreed. After a while the boy called Andy started kissing her and then he took her to a car, where he wanted to have sex with her. But she didn’t want to and so the boy raped her.
After this Melinda went back to the party and called to police. Everyone hated her for doing this but no one knew why she did that. Melinda thought no one would understand if she would tell it to someone, so she decided to keep her mouth shut.
When school started, she met in the school bus a girl named Heather. She was the only one who talked to her but after a while even Heather blew her off. She said that she can’t be someone’s friend who is the whole life depressed like Melinda is.
Melinda really had a problem. On the one hand, her schoolwork went back, she often had trouble with teachers and people and on the other hand, she always had to think about that party and had bad dreams at night and after a while she couldn’t sleep any more.
When the summer vacation was near, Melinda started to speak back to her very best friend. She told her about what happened at the party and the next day the whole school knew about it.
Then Melinda became into trouble with Andy and they actually started to fight. But suddenly some girls came and helped Melinda.
The same day, when Melinda came back home, she started to talk to her mother.
This is where the story ends.

A virtual tour through Cambridge
Today I want to give you a tour through Cambridge, on which we will walk a lot so I hope you don’t feel tired or weak, because Cambridge is a very big city. Anyway I hope you will have fun and enjoy the tour through Cambridge.
We start our tour at the bus station in Drummer street. After a five minutes’ walk through Emmanuel street we turn left into Hobson street and then the next right into Downing street.
In this street there are a few museums. Bur I will show you only one, so let me tell you some important things about the Whipple Museum.
The Whipple Museum is a museum, which shows you the most important things in history of science. For many people that sounds boring but I can promise you that it is quite exciting. It is open from Monday to Friday, from 12:3o pm till 4:30 pm. You can even visit it if you haven’t got any money, because you don’t have to pay any admission.
Let’s walk ahead into Pembroke street and then turn right. Here we now see a very old building.
It’s a college, which is called Corpus Christi and it was founded in 1352. It also has got a famous court in the middle, which is well known because it is so beautiful. This college is very amazing and famous, but not only because of the court. Everyone who is intelligent wants to study here once.
But now I told you enough. We’re going straight ahead to the market.

A virtual tour through Feldkirch
We start our virtual tour at the tank station outside the city of Feldkirch. The tank station, which is very expensive, has got every month new cashiers.
We now move south to the job centre, where from Monday to Friday hundreds of unemployed try to get a job but they never get any.
Let’s go straight ahead and after two hundred metres we can see on the left side the beautiful railway station, where you can see exciting old tramps, who love to drink lots of alcohol every day. If you have time and a little luck you perhaps can watch them fighting with trees or taxi drivers.
If we keep on walking along the street to the south, we get about 500 metres to the centre. On the right side, there is a big bus station and a McDonalds, the most important building in Feldkirch. In this beautiful restaurant you can get healthy food.
We turn now left into the shopping area. Here you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables from farmers from the nearness on every Tuesday.
Walk straight ahead through the shopping area. You are now at the Holiday Inn, which is a beautiful hotel.
Turning to the left you are at the event house, in which are very often concerts and performs.
Walking straight ahead we come to a hill. We finish our tour on the top of this hill. There is a castle, which was built in the 14th century. Outside the castle we can play miniature golf. Inside the castle we can visit the museum or go into a restaurant, which is well known.

2nd Homework
What makes me happy?
In my life there are many things that makes my happy. Now I want to tell you about the 4 most important things that make me happy.
The most important thing that makes me happy is soccer. I love soccer and I cannot live without it. It is my favourite sport and my favourite hobby. In my spare time I always play soccer, sometimes with friends and sometimes alone. For me soccer is the best thing in the world. When I play soccer, I forget everything else around me. When I am sad then I most mostly play soccer, because then I always start to think positively. When I am angry, then I play soccer for a while, because then I always feel better. For me soccer is like a medicine against negative emotions. Soccer is for me important like my health. I think that I have been playing soccer actually since I can walk, because my brother, who is about ten years older than me, always played soccer with me. I think I will play football as long as I live. That is my absolute number one of the things that make me happy. But soccer is not the only sport I like. I like handball, hockey, tennis, basketball, badminton, volleyball, etc.
Making sport is not the only thing in my life that makes me happy. There are a lot of other things too. I like spending time with my girlfriend very much and I enjoy every minute I can spend with her.
Another thing that makes me happy is to eat very good food. On Christmas for example, when my mother and my sisters cook something delicious, then I eat for hours. When I start to eat something that I like, I eat till my stomach cannot hold anything more. Then I feel so good and so happy, that the worst day turns into a good day. When I talk about good food, I don´t mean something healthy, but it can also be food with much fat but I don´t care about those things. For me the taste is the only important thing.
To chill out and hang about with friends is the last point of the four important things that makes me happy. It makes me feel good. With friends I always have a good time and a lot of fun. When I have stress or I have got a lot of things in my head, then I only have to chill out and everything is okay again.
