00:00:00.336 --> 00:00:10.583
(MAC News opening theme)

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.540
Hello. Welcome to our MAC News channel.

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.576
I'm representing MAC News channel,

00:00:16.576 --> 00:00:19.644
and today I'm going to talk about our recent activities.

00:00:20.093 --> 00:00:23.004
Chemistry isn't often associated with competition.

00:00:23.004 --> 00:00:26.008
However, Mehmet Akif College proves it CAN be.

00:00:26.008 --> 00:00:29.529
In an attempt to fuse playing
competitively and learning,

00:00:29.529 --> 00:00:31.789
this school held a competition to see

00:00:31.789 --> 00:00:34.124
who can memorize the periodic table.

00:00:34.919 --> 00:00:36.789
Hello, I'm Krenare Qatani.

00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:39.104
I'm a student at Mehmet Akif College Prizren.

00:00:39.104 --> 00:00:41.293
Today our chemistry teachers have prepared

00:00:41.293 --> 00:00:44.114
an activity for our high school students.

00:00:44.114 --> 00:00:46.528
To explain better what this competition is about,

00:00:46.528 --> 00:00:50.033
we're gonna have a conversation with
chemistry teacher, Mr. Harun.

00:00:50.033 --> 00:00:50.860
Hello, teacher--

00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:51.235
(Harun Özokutan) Hello.

00:00:51.235 --> 00:00:53.612
Could you tell us something [about] this activity?

00:00:53.612 --> 00:00:56.572
This is about drawing [the] periodic table.

00:00:56.572 --> 00:01:01.945
We have eliminated four classes, and now we will make final.

00:01:01.945 --> 00:01:05.467
And 9A, 9B and 12B, 12C;

00:01:05.467 --> 00:01:07.307
now they will compete [against] each-other --

00:01:07.307 --> 00:01:08.973
and they will draw the periodic table.

00:01:08.973 --> 00:01:10.756
They have memorized -- all class.

00:01:10.756 --> 00:01:15.257
They shared the elements and they will
draw now, for four minutes.

00:01:15.257 --> 00:01:17.986
(Krenare) What are your expectations from this activity?

00:01:17.986 --> 00:01:21.647
For this competition, our purpose is --

00:01:21.647 --> 00:01:24.208
for the students -- they will memorize the elements

00:01:24.208 --> 00:01:27.174
and they will see the periods and group numbers,

00:01:27.174 --> 00:01:28.606
and they will memorize.

00:01:28.606 --> 00:01:31.527
And they will see how to work together.

00:01:31.527 --> 00:01:32.299
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.

00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:32.757
(Harun) Alright, thank you.

00:01:32.757 --> 00:02:01.801
[inaudible]

00:02:01.992 --> 00:02:06.003
Now we're gonna have a conversation with
a student from this competition.

00:02:06.003 --> 00:02:06.885
Hello, Arionita.

00:02:06.885 --> 00:02:07.432
Hello.

00:02:07.432 --> 00:02:09.658
Do you like this activity?

00:02:09.658 --> 00:02:13.150
Yes, I like it because it makes chemistry easier

00:02:13.150 --> 00:02:15.395
and it is very fun.

00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:19.935
And it helps us to work in groups, of course.

00:02:19.935 --> 00:02:20.490
(Krenare) Thank you very much.

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:21.246
(Arionita) Thank you.

00:02:21.246 --> 00:02:54.259
[inaudible]

00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:57.606
Like every year, Mehmet Akif Colleges organize

00:02:57.606 --> 00:03:01.522
olympiads at the national level for Chemistry and English.

00:03:01.522 --> 00:03:05.783
This year for the ninth time, students
from other schools compete for prizes

00:03:05.783 --> 00:03:07.748
and a scholarship from our school.

00:03:07.748 --> 00:03:10.714
After this year's olympiad, participants were shown

00:03:10.714 --> 00:03:14.095
several experiments performed
by students of our school.

00:03:14.095 --> 00:03:18.579
Hello, here we have the chemistry 
teacher, Anduena Ramadani,

00:03:18.579 --> 00:03:24.744
who's going to explain to us how the
management of the chemistry competition

00:03:24.744 --> 00:03:26.250
in our school went today. Hello, teacher.

00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:27.406
Hello, Krenare.

00:03:27.406 --> 00:03:30.201
(Krenare) Teacher, how did the
chemistry competition go today?

00:03:30.201 --> 00:03:34.401
Very well. Today the chemistry 
competition was held at our school,

00:03:34.401 --> 00:03:35.796
the Mehmet Akif College.

00:03:35.796 --> 00:03:38.049
So far, everything went very well.

00:03:38.049 --> 00:03:41.865
Participating were students from
different schools such as

00:03:41.865 --> 00:03:46.231
schools from Prizren, Rahovec, Suhareka
(Theranda) and Dragash.

00:03:46.231 --> 00:03:49.997
About 200 students took part in the competition.

00:03:49.997 --> 00:03:52.381
(Krenare) Could you tell us a 
bit more about the details of

00:03:52.381 --> 00:03:53.490
the olympiad procedure?

00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:56.668
Of course. The olympiad procedure starts like:

00:03:56.668 --> 00:04:01.525
first the students from the 
other schools come here,

00:04:01.525 --> 00:04:05.944
they arrive at the secretary
for admission via the lists --

00:04:05.944 --> 00:04:09.798
which class they'll be in and
where the test will be held.

00:04:09.798 --> 00:04:15.488
The test lasts about 80 minutes,
it contains 50 questions.

00:04:15.488 --> 00:04:20.254
After the test ends, all the students 
are free to participate in

00:04:20.254 --> 00:04:25.599
the activities held by our school's students.

00:04:25.599 --> 00:04:29.528
They're the practical or experimental 
part of chemistry, which are

00:04:29.528 --> 00:04:33.293
quite interesting and attractive for the students,

00:04:33.293 --> 00:04:37.561
which you're going to see later 
from the videos published from

00:04:37.561 --> 00:04:39.843
the students or the staff of our school.

00:04:39.843 --> 00:04:41.193
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.

00:04:41.193 --> 00:04:42.127
Don't mention it, Krenare.

00:04:42.127 --> 00:04:45.931

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.333
Albania was declared on 28 November 1912.

00:05:48.333 --> 00:05:52.975
For 105 years, we have celebrated the 
independence of our nation,

00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:55.402
despite the borders dividing our countries.

00:05:55.402 --> 00:05:57.854
We have celebrated along with an hour long

00:05:57.854 --> 00:05:59.850
of traditional feast, and an amazing

00:05:59.850 --> 00:06:01.483
performance from our students.

00:06:01.483 --> 00:06:03.681
Let's see how this carried on.

00:06:03.681 --> 00:06:07.361
(loud traditional Albanian drum music)

00:08:24.161 --> 00:08:29.787
"He bought the land for 150,000€ 
for your soul's sake."

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.692
How do you buy land for 150,000€?!

00:08:32.237 --> 00:08:34.348
Do you know what kind of land it is, Agim?

00:08:34.348 --> 00:08:38.170
Oh brother, now that land is worth 500,000€!

00:08:39.625 --> 00:08:43.747
"My last will is to not let your
brother ruin himself

00:08:43.747 --> 00:08:48.384
since you know how much trouble he got
into by fighting in uprisings for Kosovo

00:08:48.384 --> 00:08:49.940
and for a better day."

00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:52.783

Good afternoon, how are you?

00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:14.417
How did it go? Did you like the 
atmosphere here?

00:09:14.417 --> 00:09:16.336
Yes, the atmosphere was very good.

00:09:16.336 --> 00:09:20.066
No doubt, the program was incredibly good.

00:09:20.066 --> 00:09:21.451
We liked it a lot.

00:09:21.451 --> 00:09:23.955
The last part's always going to stay the best.

00:09:23.955 --> 00:09:26.018
(Edmonda) Yes, it was one of the best.

00:09:26.018 --> 00:09:27.809
Thanks a lot for being here.
