HW: A formal letter

The local authorities have recently released plans to build a new office complex on fields near your home.

  Dear Sir/Madam,
  I am writing to complain about  your plan of  to establish a new office complex on the "Blossom-field" on the confines of the city next year. I live near this field, actually in one of the houses opposite. I think, I have the right to comment on this decision as a neighbour.
  First of all, I find the plan illegal. Despite the fact that the field is not my land, it belongs to my environment. There are not many houses in the neighbourhood, but its calmness and natural beauty is important for all of us living there. A new, modern huge building would ruin the surrounding.
  Secondly, the creation of this new complex would have consequences as well. The employees would make noise every day with their cars, not to mention the air pollution caused by the frequent traffic.
  Furthermore, the field is also a home of many animals and plants. For example, a permanent inhabitant, the shrew-mouse is a protected species. Destroying their habitat would kill a whole population, which is an indictable offence.
  In conclusion, I hope you will consider finding some other place to establish the  complex, and take notice of the objections of the tenants in this area.

Yours faithfully,

My nature friendship - thanks to my parents

  If I think over it, I did not really have any summer holidays with my parents. I mean, we have never traveled together to the seaside, for example. Never have I ever gone to another country or for a long journey with them. Well, I would not say it is such a wrong thing. Instead of staying here, I made the Mother Nature my friend by their help. :)
  But what happened to my forceful parents? My siblings started university in Hungary, worked...and moved there. My parents started to grow older, and in my opinion, they would like to relax. I always egg them to travel and go somewhere together. No effect. My brother and me are in the age of spring and would like to spin! But since some years we don't go together. I ask my parents very often to go somewhere. Oh, come on! :)
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of going with parents on a holiday?
  To start with, I used to go camping many times with my parents, when I was a child. Dad was the scoutmaster in my village for many years. It means, I have been in nature since I was born. It was long ago, but I loved it!
  Scouting was one of the most effective part of my life. My parents used to set up a lots of camps and trips every year in the nature. It was the most beautiful world...with tales, magic, witches, wizards, the camp-fire... In addition, it was outside, mainly in the forest. So as a child, I believed everything! Their wise words, patience, love for the children and nature made the atmosphere and the band awesome.
  Furthermore, except from scouting, we used to visit the Szelevényi-forest. My family just sat on the car and dad drove it to the Szelevényi-csárda. It is a very popular jerry in the middle of the wood, because Rózsa Sándor, the highwayman had appeared there many times. It was a huge adventure for a little child! :) To visit that place and waiting for him to pop up out of the trees.
  Since I have became a teenager, I do not enjoy that way travelling with my parents. The space grew between us, and we can not make these kind of trips as before. I better like to go out with my friends, to meet new people and form my social life. I like to border my own rights and limits. :)

My lover, Dorian Gray (HW: Oscar Wilde, The picture of Dorian Gray)


   When the young, beautiful Dorian Gray popped into my, Basil Hallward's house and asked me to make him a favor, I immediately started it. He put a spell over me. He was a masterpiece! When I finished, I realized...the perfect face and body of Dorian doesn't allow me to let him go. So he must have stayed with me.
   I fell in love with him at sight. His blue eyes looked innocently into my eyes, his outlook made him look like a fairy. Always, while he was living in my house, I used to visit him in his room. Then I caressed his perfect face. Dorian Gray didn't move, always was in the same proud position. I absolutely felt that he was mine. In my cage. I know, he liked it! He was always smiling, that thrilled me all the time.
  Once, when I was with him, a man came to my house and claimed: Dorian Gray is his double. I didn't denied the fact, but I was sure, Dorian Gray was nicer. Then he took away him from me. I couldn't go against that, because Dorian was smiling in the man's face, too. Despite the fact that I was everything to him, he left me and went with the guy. I wasn't sure about I could see him again...The man grabbed the picture and stepped out of my house with my lover. Dorian Gray was still in the same position...didn't move. Just smiling and looked into the nothing.

It's a mistery...!

There are some things I have always wondered about.  Some easy, silly questions were out of my explorer period, still haven't got an answer.
Let's look at the inmost questions of life:

1. How can airplanes fly? Well, as we know, these flying machines are huge and heavy mechanisms. How can they challange the order of physic? How can they fly?
The air isn't empty, the pressure helps the airplane to get in the atmosphere. When the speed of the airplane is enough high, the pilot can take-off the aircraft helping by the wings. The lift force makes it possible to fly an airplane. The turbines under the wings heat the air, which help to get it faster.

2. I'd like to know what are the Northern Lights
Electrons and protons from the sun are blown towards the earth on the 'solar wind'. Those look mysterious lights in the north and south pole of the Earth. The collisions of gas molecules generate this dancing magic.
The lights are named "Aurora borealis" in the north and "Aurora australis" in the south. 

The lights of the Aurora generally extend from 80 kilometres to as high as 640 kilometres above the earth's surface.

To be continued...if I get some new ideas. :)
