a natural dichotomy.

It is both
beautiful and sad. Depending on how a person feels about winter, it
may be the best time of the year, containing as it does the beginning
of the holidays with the joy of Halloween.
Writers have always been fascinated with both sides of this dualistic
symbolism, and used it in all kinds of literature. Poetry, of course, is
the most obvious source of literary symbolism. Poets such as
Whitman, Browning, Frost and Yeats use autumn extensively in a
variety of ways.
To Autumn
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the mossd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has oer-brimmd their clammy cells.
(J.Keats)




Contemporary poets have a
more pragmatic approach to
autumn. Their autumn images
are more concrete.
Autumn is like an old book:
Marred spines turn mean
yellow,
staples rust red-orange.

Every stained page is
stressed
by a splat of color. Rough-
red,
like an old tavern,

we become hungry birds
and prepare for fall.
Shape and shadow are
candied citron

a hot chilli pepper with
smoky eyes.

Friendship
Friendship is a relationship between some people. There are
different types of friendship: school, university, gang etc. We
consider that the most important features that make the friendship
strong are:
Sincerity
Attachment
Understanding
Help
Fidelity
Goodness
Education
Attention
Generosity.
Generally speaking, friendship occupies the most important part of
our life, because without friends we are helpless and our world is
dark and monotonous. Our friends are our support. If we have any
troubles, we can every time to ask for help. But friendship is not
only help, but it is also sacrifice. Our goal is to be always with our
dear people, because we can see in their souls our reflection. The
friendship doesnt forgive treachery. The treachery kills friendship.
That is why, we are sure that without friendship there is no life. Our
life is very short and we need to value every moment that we spend
with our friends.
(written by D. Bulat and T. Postrevich)

Friendship is one of the life's greatest treasures. Friends are those
who make us laugh when we are down, who are not afraid to make
us avoid mistakes and who always support in different situations.
We are aware of the fact that today the kind of friendship
mentioned above is very difficult to be found. But we all are
looking for a kind of friendship that may last forever.
Still we try to follow the following lines:
Friendship is a place
Where we feel at home
From the very start
Where kindness comes in smiles
and comfort soothes the heart.
We believe that in some years we will use this poem in reference to
us.

A Fairy tale about friendship
Once upon the time there lived a pretty girl about 14 years old in a small
town. Her name was Jane Stewart. She went to high school. Jane was a
very friendly and well-bred girl. She had hazel eyes and blond hair. Jane
liked playing football and she did it very well. All her friends from her
school just pretended to be her true friends, but they envied her because
she was good in everything she did. In her football team there was a boy,
Kevin, which wanted to eliminate her from the team because he thought
that the football team is not the right place for girls.
One day, during the match Jane fainted. She woke at the hospital. Her
parents were crying. In few minutes she found out that she had a very bad
illness, leukemia. She was shocked and she kept silence for several hours.
With the help of psychologist and her parents she accepted the situation
and decided to fight for her life. Days and weeks she was living in the
hospital and no one visited her.
One morning when she was coming back to her ward she saw Kevin. They
spend all day together talking about football, school and many other things.
Jane laughed for the first time. They didnt observe how fast the time
passed. Kevin visited her more often, almost every day. Little by little they
became friends. The boy tried to cheer up her with jokes, movies, music
but it didnt work all the time because she got of medicines. She missed
school and her favorite occupation. She wanted to play football. When the
important day came she was nervous and worried. Then she heard a noise
outside. When she approached to the window she saw the teams there and
the match was played in front of her window. She was very impressed. She
watched the match very attentively and at the end of the play she fainted
and she never recovered.


True friends
A friend in need is a friend in deed. The true friend is like as a mother, a father, a brother, a sister. He is
one of the most important persons in our life. The true friend is the person who helps all the time. He
can keep secrets and has the best qualities. The true friend is always lovely and friendly. He is careful
and kind. He is honest and understanding in the entire situation. He supports us and gives us pieces of
advice. The true friend listens to our thoughts. And all the time he tells us if we are wrong or right. He
makes us happy and every day he is near us. We spend a lot of time together. We are discussing all the
problems. Unfortunately, nowadays there are very few true friends. It is very difficult find them. In
our days there are many people who wear friendly masks and we can easily be delusive. We must be
very attentive when we make friends.
(written by V. Gavaza and Crina)



Friendship is the understanding between two
people, sometimes without words, and reciprocal
help. This relationship implies continuous
communication and mutual help. (N. Birsanu)
Friendship is an essential condition for a happy life.
Friendship is something that cannot be explained in words but in deeds of help and
cooperation. (E.Nelipovschi)
Friendship is the relationship between two people who really care about each
other. It is important to be next to your friend not only when he is happy, but when
he has troubles. (G. Georgeta)

The friendship is something that we cannot
exist without, because we are human beings
and we were born to live in the midst of the
society. For me, a friend is the person who I
can tell everything to.
I think that everyone should have friends,
because friendship colors our life. (L. Eni)
























The day of the 28
th
of April, 2014 is special for the Moldavian
people, because from this date we can travel to Europe without a
visa. This event is a forward step to the European integration. This
fact has started many discussions among the Moldavians. Many of
them like the idea that Moldova might become a European country,
but there are also Moldavians who disagree with this idea, because
they are afraid of the high requirements towards the population like
taxes and prices. They also don't like the idea that many laws would
be changed, and many new laws might be introduced (like the legal
prostitution and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights). The
idea of being a part of the UE is pleasant for some reason; with
Europe we will have the chance to improve our economy, raise the
rate of production, the rate of the import and export. This situation is
very tempting, as there are also risks that could impose certain
things not very pleasant for our population. A thing is obvious, there
are risks, but we hope that the fact that Europe comes in our country
is something that will make us more prosperous and maybe happier.
(written by N. Albu)

April 28, 2014 is already recognized as "historical" for the Republic of Moldova. Beginning with
this day citizens of our country may travel to the European Union only by means of a special
passport. 20 Moldovans were the first to leave Moldova, whose relatives had long ago settled in
Greece. Thus, the official delegation of the Republic of Moldova, headed by the Prime Minister
Yuriy Leanca, flew to Athens, the capital of the Greece. Within the framework of the event
"without visas in the EU, 25 students-winners of the contest organized by the Government flew
to Greece too. The Moldovans are very happy. We believe in the prosperous life of our country.
