Writing challenge #16:My postcard for Armenian athletes

Posted by Ruzan on February 6, 2010

Greetings from Armenia!



I love the Olympic Games and the Winter Sports is one of my favourite events.My postcard is for the Olympic athletes all over the world, especially the Armenian ones. We don't usually have enough snow here so I assume that our participation in Vancouver will be modest. In order to be in good shape, our athletes have been training in the Czech Republic, Italy and Tsaghkadzor. I know that it's going to be hard for them to get high scores in the Games but I remember that Michael Jordan once said:" I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeeded".

Dear Srgey,Kristine, Ani-Matilda and Arsen: I wish you all the best! Be strong and believe in yourselves!


BTW:Finnaly we have a lot of snow in Armenia and I took this picture today from my window!

GOOD LUCK!

A day in the life of David

Posted by Ruzan on September 30, 2009

First of all,I must tell you about myself.I'm thirteen. I have a dog ,called Pal,who is very intelligent.What a bad day.I got up late and didn't have time to eat my breakfast.I couldn't find my books.At last, I found my books-in the bathroom.I had to wait ages for a bus and I was almost late for school.(Ann,my class teacher,told me ,that she would give me five hundred lines if I was late again).The first lesson on Monday morning is Maths.What a terrible way to start the week.Mr.Suren,the maths teacher,collected our homework.Then he gave us some sums to do.I was sitting next to Elie,who is fat-but very very good at maths.I asked her what the answers were,but she didn't tell me.The next lesson was English.I like English.It's nice to be able to talk to somebody in another language.At last it was eleven o'clock:time for a break.Susan gave me her Latin homework to copy,because I hadn't done it.I think she likes me,and she's pretty too.After the break,we had two lessons of Latin.They are always the worst lessons of the week.I do not like Latin.My teacher gave me a hundred lines for talking to Susan,but I wrote them out in class instead of reading a Latin book.At half past twelve,it was time for lunch.I sat down at the table very happy because the Latin lessons were over.At three o'clock it was time for the best "lesson"of the week:games.We played a very interesting game of football and I scored three goals.After school,at four o'clock I came home and have enjoy my computer games.At seven I had my supper.I did my English homework,it was easy,but I didn't do my history homework.There was an interesting program on television.I can do it tomorrow,during the break...

94th Anniversary of Armenian Genocide

Posted by Ruzan on April 24, 2009

Every year, on April 24 Armenians all over the world commemorate the murder of their nation. The murder of 1.5 million innocent and defenceless children, women, elderly and men.April 24, 1915 marked the beginning of the Armenian Genocide in Constantinople (present day Istanbul) with the arrest, torture and execution of 300 Armenian intellectuals, writers, poets, political and civic leaders by the Young Turk Government of the Ottoman Empire. Also on that day, 5,000 of the poorest Armenians were butchered in the streets and in their homes.In May 1915, after mass deportations had already begun, Turkish Minister of the Interior Talaat Pasha ordered the Armenian population’s deportation into the Syrian desert.Ultimately, more than half the Armenian population, 1,500,000 people, was annihilated. In this manner the Armenian people were eliminated from their homeland of several millennia.How can we forget the cries of more than 1.5 million innocent victims of this bloody massacre? They vanished almost a century ago but their voices sill echoes in our hearts.“Why did this happen to us? Why did the world let this happen? Where is justice?”As their decedents and conscientious human beings, we have carried on their plea for recognition of their pain and suffering. We have committed ourselves to fight until they would get their fair trial so their tortured souls would lay in peace.The Armenian Genocide of 1915 still hurts and haunts us today. It is an open wound for every Armenian and for humanity. We believe that recognition of the Armenian Genocide will close one of the darkest chapters in humanity, so that we can move on, heal our country.It’s time for the rest of the world to recognize the Armenian Genocide!

Weddings Around The World

Posted by Ruzan on March 29, 2009
In Armenia, a wedding ceremony is one of the happiest and traditional occasions for family gatherings, when relatives from all over the country and world come together and celebrate this important day with you :) Sometimes these relatives are just so far that when they come, and finally recognize you, they say that "I remember you when you were thiiiis young, and now you're getting married!" The recent years less and less customs are being kept and followed , and couples prefer to organize a small and modest wedding only for the closest ones and go to a honeymoon somewhere... But if the couple can afford, they do both !In my country ,you have to get married in a church and a registry office.Are there any lows or customs in your country about marriage? It would be nice if you will share it here and after we can come buck and find out from all wedding customs we have read about,which is the most attractive?Here is a traditional Armenian weeding in CA./i></< ">object>
