Spring Day 2006

Spring day 2006

My name is Găureanu Andreea Renata. I was interested from the beginning about the European program called “Spring Day 2006”. I read all the articles written by students from Malta and Lithuania and I have made my own impression. “Spring Day 2006” was a new experience for all children all over the world, and a very good one. For some of them it was the first time they were able to talk to teenagers from other countries, to share their passions and customs. And they really enjoyed it.
At first, all of us were a little shy, but the time passed and we got used to it. We discovered that all of us have the same hobbies, like listening to music, dancing, reading books or having pets. Our age can influence us to go out and have fun in clubs or in sweetshops. We also like going to the cinema and concerts.
So, despite the different nationalities all of us like having fun, all of us have a lot of friends, and all of us are very independent.
Maybe in time, using this excellent European program, we will be able to start long-during friendships with other children from other European countries.

SPRING IN ROMANIA

Alina Stancu - About Spring

The first season of the year is spring. Weather in spring is mild. There are temperatures between 0C and 20C. It was very cold this year in March. It was not spring, it was winter. Now, in May, the weather is nice, the grass is green and there are lots of flowers in the gardens and fields.
In spring we celebrate one of the most important holiday of the year- Easter. Two weeks before Easter people go to church every evening. The most important evening is the night of resurrection when the priest at the midnight comes out with a burning candle and says “come and take the light”. So, people go home with their burning candles and bring lights in their houses.
One week before Easter, people clean their houses and prepare for that important holiday. They also cook and bake different traditional food
Lamb Pudding
-lambs tounge, heart and liver
-onion, chopped
-bland large
-eggs
-parsley, to taste
-salt and pepper, to taste
Parboil tounge and remove skin and any veins. Cut up lungs, heart, tounge and livers into small chunks, sautee onion, meat, chill. Grind up chilled meat and onions. Turn into a bowl, add eggs, chopped parsley, salt and pepper and mix well.
Place lamb casing in a greased baking dish, place mixture in casing and fold edges. Bake at 350C for one hour or until done.

Ticleanu Claudia - Spring in Romania

Spring means revival… After a long and cold winter the trees, grass and flowers come to a new life. An orchard is a gorgeous view. The trees are in blossom. You can see the white and pink flowers of the fruit trees and you can also hear the sounds of the hard working bees which are flying from flower to flower.
The most important holiday in spring is Easter. People go to churches and pray. The first night, the night of resuraction people come back home with the so called “light” – candles burning – from the church. If you live in the village and the sky is covered and of course there is no light, you can see only the little “lights” dancing on the roads. They are light candles carried by those people who come back to their homes.
The traditional food on Easter is lamb-meat. Women prepare for their families different kinds of food made of lamb-meat.

WINTER IN ROMANIA

Black Sea in winter

Alina Stancu - Winter

Winter in Romania
Winter months are:December,January and February.In winter is very cold.The coldest month of the year is February.Sometimes the temperatures are below -24CThis year the weather was so cold that the Black Sea coast was frozen.So, people could walk in the place where last summer they could have drown.Many tourists went there to admire it.This phenomenon happens once in 20 years.Now is March ,but it's still winter outside,because it snowed and the traffic is slow and there are closed roads.
Winter festivals
On the 1st of December is Romania's national holiday.We celebrate the great union of the three Romanian countries.On the 24th of February the Romanian people celebrate "Dragobete" the lovers' day,a kind of "Valentine's Day".
Winter activities
In winter people stay at home or go to the mountains .There are many mountain resorts in the Carpathians mountains.The nearest of us are those on the Prahova Valley .There they can practise winter sports or visit the Peles castle and Bran castle.
Winter food and recipes
Romanians like to eat much ,especially meat.A very few of us are vegetarians.A traditional Romanian dish in winter is 'sarmale'(force -meat rolls in cabbage leaves).The mince pork is used for preparing it.It is served with 'mamaliga',a kind of maize (corn) mush.To prepare it you must pour 1 litre of water in a pot and add some salt.Bring it to the boiling point and sprinkle maize flour mixing continuously with a wooden spoon, until it becomes a thick paste(1, 2 minutes)Then let it boil for another minute and that's all you can eat it with sarmale.

Popescu Ciprian - About winter

Winter weather
Winter is a cold season. This winter was a very hard one in Europe, so it was in Romania. Some people died here. They were people of the streets. There was much snow at the end of winter. There was a snow-fight at school those days. We enjoyed it a lot.
Winter activities
Winter is a nice season. I like it because only in winter I can go skiing. It snows a lot in the mountains, so those who like to practise winter sports prefer winter rather than other seasons. Those who don’t know to ski can go by cable car or cable chairs.
Winter festivals
On the 1st of December we celebrate Romania’s national day. In 1918 the three countries: The Romanian country, Transylvania and Moldova were united for the first time under the name Romania. There are parades in big cities. People go and admire the army parade.
Winter food and recipes
Being cold in winter, people need to warm themselves. Here in Romania people like to drink hot wine and hot Romanian brandy (tuica).
In 1 liter pot pour 1 litter “tuica”, 10 gr sugar, 5gr pepper/ Mix them together then cover the pot and boil until it reaches the boiling point. Drink it as hot is possible!


Cable cars

Vioreanu Bogdan - Winter in Romania

Winter weather
Winter, one of my favourite seasons is very nice. It is indeed cold but snow covers the ground, trees and houses and makes such a beautiful scenery that you forget about cold. This winter was a hard one with the temperatures of – 32 C in some parts of the country. Some people died of cold but this happened not only in Romania.
Winter activities
In Romania, people like spending their week-ends in the mountains where they can practise winter sports. Those who don’t go in the mountains spend their leisure time staying at home, watching TV or going to the skating rink. Anyway winter means Christmas, New Year Eve and a lot of Orthodox holidays when people like celebrating them.
Winter festivals
There aren’t many festivals here in Romania in winter. The Romanian Eurovision is one of them. This show becomes more and more important. This year a man will represent Romania in Greece. There are many mountains resorts in Romania. In winter, each of them celebrate the so called “Snow festival” at different days. On those days, well known bands and singers come and sing in open air stages. People listen to them and go skiing on the nearby sky slopes. There are also different games and contests on the slopes. Those who go there have a lot of fun.
Winter food and recipes
Because it’s cold people need to warm themselves. Some of them drink hot tea, others “hot wine”. It is said that you can drink a cup of hot wine instead of taking an aspirin, in the case you’ve caught a cold. Pour a cup a black wine in a tea pot add, a tea spoonful of sugar inside and boil it for about 1 minute. Drink it as hot as possible and you will be very well.

Winter Food and Recipes
Romanians like to eat a lot .I think this is one of their pleasures.Pork is their favourite.In old times most of the families used to have a pig in their yard which was sacrificed one week before Christmas.Its meat well prepared was the main dish for Christmas.Now we can find pork evrywhere in the market .'Sarmale'is a traditional Romanian dish.For making it you need mince pork,rice ,chopped onion,tomatoes pasta,pepper and pickled cabbage leaves.

An autumn day

Vioreanu Bogdan - Autumn in Romania

Autumn in Romania
When the days are shorter, the nights are longer, the temperatures are lower and lower and the sunrays don’t shine with the same power they did in summer time means that autumn has come. The trees are in sorrow, their leaves fell down covering the ground with a thick red carpet of dried leaves, although a little somber, autumn is a nice season because its very rich.

School life
Autumn is the season when school starts again. The merry sounds, those of the students' voices younger or older are heard everywhere in the school. Now the school is alife, it’s not dead like in the summer time. We work hard the last days before Christmas holiday because this is the period when we have tests and contests. There was a “Kangaroo” smart at math, now follows another “Kangaroo” contest; this time is a linguistic one.

A carpet of leefs

Mirica Alina - Autumn

Autumn in Romania
Autumn is the 3rd season of the year, here in Romania. It is a beautiful season. It is the richest of all, because at the beginning of autumn most fruit are ripe. The pear tree and the apple tree are full of ripe fruit . Sometimes the weather is not so fine because it’s chilly and rains. The trees change their coat: the leaves are yellow or brown. A multicolored carpet covers the beautiful forests of Romania. The temperature rarely falls under 0º C. This year the autumn was gorgeous.
There were temperatures between 15ºand 18º C.
Life at the moment.
There are lots of contests at the end of November and the beginning of December. They are Arhimede, Kangoroo contests( math contests).

The trees are decorated beautifully at Christmas. A bright Christmas tree invites everyone to share the holy joy.
