(MAC News opening theme)
-
Hello. Welcome to our MAC News channel.
-
I'm representing MAC News channel,
-
and today I'm going to talk about our recent activities.
-
Chemistry isn't often associated with competition.
-
However, Mehmet Akif College proves it CAN be.
-
In an attempt to fuse playing
competitively and learning,
-
this school held a competition to see
-
who can memorize the periodic table.
-
Hello, I'm Krenare Qatani.
-
I'm a student at Mehmet Akif College Prizren.
-
Today our chemistry teachers have prepared
-
an activity for our high school students.
-
To explain better what this competition is about,
-
we're gonna have a conversation with
chemistry teacher, Mr. Harun.
-
Hello, teacher--
-
(Harun Özokutan) Hello.
-
Could you tell us something [about] this activity?
-
This is about drawing [the] periodic table.
-
We have eliminated four classes, and now we will make final.
-
And 9A, 9B and 12B, 12C;
-
now they will compete [against] each-other --
-
and they will draw the periodic table.
-
They have memorized -- all class.
-
They shared the elements and they will
draw now, for four minutes.
-
(Krenare) What are your expectations from this activity?
-
For this competition, our purpose is --
-
for the students -- they will memorize the elements
-
and they will see the periods and group numbers,
-
and they will memorize.
-
And they will see how to work together.
-
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.
-
(Harun) Alright, thank you.
-
[inaudible]
-
Now we're gonna have a conversation with
a student from this competition.
-
Hello, Arionita.
-
Hello.
-
Do you like this activity?
-
Yes, I like it because it makes chemistry easier
-
and it is very fun.
-
And it helps us to work in groups, of course.
-
(Krenare) Thank you very much.
-
(Arionita) Thank you.

Like every year, Mehmet Akif Colleges organize
-
olympiads at the national level for Chemistry and English.
-
This year for the ninth time, students
from other schools compete for prizes
-
and a scholarship from our school.
-
After this year's olympiad, participants were shown
-
several experiments performed
by students of our school.
-
Hello, here we have the chemistry
teacher, Anduena Ramadani,
-
who's going to explain to us how the
management of the chemistry competition
-
in our school went today. Hello, teacher.
-
Hello, Krenare.
-
(Krenare) Teacher, how did the
chemistry competition go today?
-
Very well. Today the chemistry
competition was held at our school,
-
the Mehmet Akif College.
-
So far, everything went very well.
-
Participating were students from
different schools such as
-
schools from Prizren, Rahovec, Suhareka
(Theranda) and Dragash.
-
About 200 students took part in the competition.
-
(Krenare) Could you tell us a
bit more about the details of
-
the olympiad procedure?
-
Of course. The olympiad procedure starts like:
-
first the students from the
other schools come here,
-
they arrive at the secretary
for admission via the lists --
-
which class they'll be in and
where the test will be held.
-
The test lasts about 80 minutes,
it contains 50 questions.
-
After the test ends, all the students
are free to participate in
-
the activities held by our school's students.
-
They're the practical or experimental
part of chemistry, which are
-
quite interesting and attractive for the students,
-
which you're going to see later
from the videos published from
-
the students or the staff of our school.
-
(Krenare) Thank you very much, teacher.
-
Don't mention it, Krenare.

Albania was declared on 28 November 1912.
-
For 105 years, we have celebrated the
independence of our nation,
-
despite the borders dividing our countries.
-
We have celebrated along with an hour long
-
of traditional feast, and an amazing
-
performance from our students.
-
Let's see how this carried on.

"He bought the land for 150,000€
for your soul's sake."
-
How do you buy land for 150,000€?!
-
Do you know what kind of land it is, Agim?
-
Oh brother, now that land is worth 500,000€!
-
"My last will is to not let your
brother ruin himself
-
since you know how much trouble he got
into by fighting in uprisings for Kosovo
-
and for a better day."
