Три года за драку

МК-Эстония,
23 мая 2007

An unusual incident took place during the first league match between "Kuressaare" and "Ajaks". Women's football matches are known for being rather gentle and cute for spectators to watch, but this one was different.

"Ajaks" team members say that they felt mental pressure throughout the whole match. Not only did "Kuressaare" players insult their opponents but so did people in the crowd. Triin Juulin, a "Kuressaare" player, says that after the match, she was attacked and beaten by two "Ajaks" players, Yekaterina and Kristina. In response, the girls said that they were forced to defend themselves after they were mocked by Triin because of their nationality.

A few hours later it seemed like no one had any complaints, but that was not true. Before going back to Tallinn, "Ajaks" president found out that "Kuressaare" sent a complaint to the Estonian Football Association.

A week ago it was announced that Kristina and Yekaterina are disqualified until the end of 2009. No one expected the punishment to be this tough but there's nothing they can do. Team's coach hopes that the girls will not lose their interest in football.

Another curious incident happened when "Kuressaare" played "TFMK" at home. Ten minutes before the end of the match, a young man appeared on the pitch. He was tall, athletic, wearing black shoes and waving his hands. Girls quickly switched their attention to him. The guy was wearing nothing but the shoes. The referee had to suspend the game until everyone calmed down.
Turns out, the streaker was a 23-year-old basketball player, who is said to get 10 000 krones for what he had done. He is actually proud of himself because there are not many similar incidents in Estonia. So far, there were only a couple of them.

Task 8

Once upon a time, a chiropodist decided to take part in a movie audition. Not only was he hungry for fame, but also he wanted to get some money to open his very own salon with opaque windows. After chiropodist’s performance, a movie director asked him to wait for an announcement to know if he was accepted or not, so the chiropodist decided to spend some time in a buffet. An hour later, when the chiropodist was eating 11^th meringue in a row, the director came back to say that the chiropodist was denied. The chiropodist was shocked so he started screaming at top of his lungs… Little did he know it was April Fools joke. But then he got denied for real because the director seriously questioned his psychic health.

Task 3

It was December and the weather was very cold. It was snowing all the time and when strong winter wind started to blow it caused a blizzard.
Children loved this kind of weather - when their parents let them they spent all their time outside making snowmen and playing snowballs.
Older people didn't like snowy weather that much though because of sudden fall of temperature a lot of snow ploughs got broken and people were stuck in snowbanks.
The weatherman said meteorologists don't know when the snow storm will end for sure yet but the precipitation level has already surpassed the normal rate.
So everything was covered with snow and the sky was overcast with clouds.

"Ooperifantoom"

Minu nimi on Ksenia. Olen 16-aastane, minu sünnipäev on 12. märtsil.
Elan Tallinnas, mis on Eesti pealinn, ja õpin Karjamaa Gümnaasiumis.
Minu vabal ajal ma kuulan muusikat, jalutan sõpradega jne.
Mulle meeldivad vanad filmis nagu "Some Like It Hot" ja "Rear Window". Minu lemmik raamat on "12 tooli".

___________________________________________________________________

"Ooperifantoom" (originaalpealkirjaga "The Phantom Of The Opera") on maailmatunduv muusikal romaani "Ooperikummitus" põhjal.




Salapärane hääl räägib ooperlaulja Krisinaga Pariisi Ooperimaja sügavusest.Ainult üks inimene teab, et selle artistide hirmutava hääle omanik on moonutarud muusikageenius, kes armastab Kristinat.

Fantoom maskis teeb kõike selleks, et Kristina sai ooperdiivaks, aga tema konkurent on rikkas Raoul. Kristina peab oma valiku tegema, aga armastus, kirg ja kiivus oma juba otsustanud Kristina asemel.






Tallinnas on võimalik vaadata "Ooperifantoomi" 4., 5., 6. ja 7. detsembril. Piletid alates 400.- krooni.
