(MAC News opening theme)

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,540
Hello. Welcome to our MAC News channel.

3
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:16,576
I'm representing MAC News channel,

4
00:00:16,576 --> 00:00:19,644
and today I'm going to talk about our recent activities.

5
00:00:20,093 --> 00:00:23,004
Chemistry isn't often associated with competition.

6
00:00:23,004 --> 00:00:26,008
However, Mehmet Akif College proves it CAN be.

7
00:00:26,008 --> 00:00:29,529
In an attempt to fuse playing
competitively and learning,

8
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,789
this school held a competition to see

9
00:00:31,789 --> 00:00:34,124
who can memorize the periodic table.

10
00:00:34,919 --> 00:00:36,789
Hello, I'm Krenare Qatani.

11
00:00:36,789 --> 00:00:39,104
I'm a student at Mehmet Akif College Prizren.

12
00:00:39,104 --> 00:00:41,293
Today our chemistry teachers have prepared

13
00:00:41,293 --> 00:00:44,114
an activity for our high school students.

14
00:00:44,114 --> 00:00:46,528
To explain better what this competition is about,

15
00:00:46,528 --> 00:00:50,033
we're gonna have a conversation with
chemistry teacher, Mr. Harun.

16
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:50,860
Hello, teacher--

17
00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:51,235
(Harun Özokutan) Hello.

18
00:00:51,235 --> 00:00:53,612
Could you tell us something [about] this activity?

19
00:00:53,612 --> 00:00:56,572
This is about drawing [the] periodic table.

20
00:00:56,572 --> 00:01:01,945
We have eliminated four classes, and now we will make final.

21
00:01:01,945 --> 00:01:05,467
And 9A, 9B and 12B, 12C;

22
00:01:05,467 --> 00:01:07,307
now they will compete [against] each-other --

23
00:01:07,307 --> 00:01:08,973
and they will draw the periodic table.

24
00:01:08,973 --> 00:01:10,756
They have memorized -- all class.

25
00:01:10,756 --> 00:01:15,257
They shared the elements and they will
draw now, for four minutes.

26
00:01:15,257 --> 00:01:17,986
(Krenare) What are your expectations from this activity?

27
00:01:17,986 --> 00:01:21,647
For this competition, our purpose is --

28
00:01:21,647 --> 00:01:24,208
for the students -- they will memorize the elements

29
00:01:24,208 --> 00:01:27,174
and they will see the periods and group numbers,

30
00:01:27,174 --> 00:01:28,606
and they will memorize.

31
00:01:28,606 --> 00:01:31,527
And they will see how to work together.

32
00:01:31,527 --> 00:01:32,299
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.

33
00:01:32,299 --> 00:01:32,757
(Harun) Alright, thank you.

34
00:01:32,757 --> 00:02:01,801
[inaudible]

35
00:02:01,992 --> 00:02:06,003
Now we're gonna have a conversation with
a student from this competition.

36
00:02:06,003 --> 00:02:06,885
Hello, Arionita.

37
00:02:06,885 --> 00:02:07,432
Hello.

38
00:02:07,432 --> 00:02:09,658
Do you like this activity?

39
00:02:09,658 --> 00:02:13,150
Yes, I like it because it makes chemistry easier

40
00:02:13,150 --> 00:02:15,395
and it is very fun.

41
00:02:15,395 --> 00:02:19,935
And it helps us to work in groups, of course.

42
00:02:19,935 --> 00:02:20,490
(Krenare) Thank you very much.

43
00:02:20,490 --> 00:02:21,246
(Arionita) Thank you.

44
00:02:21,246 --> 00:02:54,259
[inaudible]

45
00:02:54,259 --> 00:02:57,606
Like every year, Mehmet Akif Colleges organize

46
00:02:57,606 --> 00:03:01,522
olympiads at the national level for Chemistry and English.

47
00:03:01,522 --> 00:03:05,783
This year for the ninth time, students
from other schools compete for prizes

48
00:03:05,783 --> 00:03:07,748
and a scholarship from our school.

49
00:03:07,748 --> 00:03:10,714
After this year's olympiad, participants were shown

50
00:03:10,714 --> 00:03:14,095
several experiments performed
by students of our school.

51
00:03:14,095 --> 00:03:18,579
Hello, here we have the chemistry 
teacher, Anduena Ramadani,

52
00:03:18,579 --> 00:03:24,744
who's going to explain to us how the
management of the chemistry competition

53
00:03:24,744 --> 00:03:26,250
in our school went today. Hello, teacher.

54
00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:27,406
Hello, Krenare.

55
00:03:27,406 --> 00:03:30,201
(Krenare) Teacher, how did the
chemistry competition go today?

56
00:03:30,201 --> 00:03:34,401
Very well. Today the chemistry 
competition was held at our school,

57
00:03:34,401 --> 00:03:35,796
the Mehmet Akif College.

58
00:03:35,796 --> 00:03:38,049
So far, everything went very well.

59
00:03:38,049 --> 00:03:41,865
Participating were students from
different schools such as

60
00:03:41,865 --> 00:03:46,231
schools from Prizren, Rahovec, Suhareka
(Theranda) and Dragash.

61
00:03:46,231 --> 00:03:49,997
About 200 students took part in the competition.

62
00:03:49,997 --> 00:03:52,381
(Krenare) Could you tell us a 
bit more about the details of

63
00:03:52,381 --> 00:03:53,490
the olympiad procedure?

64
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:56,668
Of course. The olympiad procedure starts like:

65
00:03:56,668 --> 00:04:01,525
first the students from the 
other schools come here,

66
00:04:01,525 --> 00:04:05,944
they arrive at the secretary
for admission via the lists --

67
00:04:05,944 --> 00:04:09,798
which class they'll be in and
where the test will be held.

68
00:04:09,798 --> 00:04:15,488
The test lasts about 80 minutes,
it contains 50 questions.

69
00:04:15,488 --> 00:04:20,254
After the test ends, all the students 
are free to participate in

70
00:04:20,254 --> 00:04:25,599
the activities held by our school's students.

71
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:29,528
They're the practical or experimental 
part of chemistry, which are

72
00:04:29,528 --> 00:04:33,293
quite interesting and attractive for the students,

73
00:04:33,293 --> 00:04:37,561
which you're going to see later 
from the videos published from

74
00:04:37,561 --> 00:04:39,843
the students or the staff of our school.

75
00:04:39,843 --> 00:04:41,193
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.

76
00:04:41,193 --> 00:04:42,127
Don't mention it, Krenare.

77
00:04:42,127 --> 00:04:45,931

Albania was declared on 28 November 1912.

79
00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:52,975
For 105 years, we have celebrated the 
independence of our nation,

80
00:05:52,975 --> 00:05:55,402
despite the borders dividing our countries.

81
00:05:55,402 --> 00:05:57,854
We have celebrated along with an hour long

82
00:05:57,854 --> 00:05:59,850
of traditional feast, and an amazing

83
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:01,483
performance from our students.

84
00:06:01,483 --> 00:06:03,681
Let's see how this carried on.

85
00:06:03,681 --> 00:06:07,361

"He bought the land for 150,000€ 
for your soul's sake."

87
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:31,692
How do you buy land for 150,000€?!

88
00:08:32,237 --> 00:08:34,348
Do you know what kind of land it is, Agim?

89
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:38,170
Oh brother, now that land is worth 500,000€!

90
00:08:39,625 --> 00:08:43,747
"My last will is to not let your
brother ruin himself

91
00:08:43,747 --> 00:08:48,384
since you know how much trouble he got
into by fighting in uprisings for Kosovo

92
00:08:48,384 --> 00:08:49,940
and for a better day."
