The Case “Scorpion”
Investigated by Valeria Holmes, 11b

The action took place in 1940 in New-York. Detective Briggs worked in the insurance company. He was considered to be responsible, quick-witted employee and he successfully investigated most of the cases.
Once he with his friends turned out to be at the performance of the hypnotist magician, who called Briggs to the stage and hypnotized him, having pronounced the code word “Scorpion”. After leaving the trance, Briggs insisted that he didn’t remember what had happened.
Several days later the hypnotist phoned Bricks and said the code word “Scorpion” and ordered him to get into the house and steal the jewelry, cracking alarm-system, which Briggs had installed himself. And the following day, without remembering anything Briggs started to investigate his own crime.

Crime Investigation
Investigated by Anastasiya Holmes, 11b

Hello. I am a police detective and I have investigated the case of Alison McCollister’s murder. She was found yesterday evening in her flat with a knife sticking out of her head. Steve McCollister –multimillionaire - was her father. Malia McCollister was her step mother. Alison lived alone but once a week (on Tuesday) her maid Becca Fry came to clean her flat.
When police found the body, first of all I investigated the crime scene and searched her flat. No foot prints or finger prints were found because it was Tuesday (the day when the maid had already cleaned the victim’s house).

There are so many different people in the world. Some of them are modern, famous but the only thing that they are living for is money. The others are modest, little-known but with a great heart.

I think I am an unlucky person because I have had all imaginable problems with my health. I always get sunburnt. I have twisted my arm. I have sprained me leg. I have scratched my arm, knee. I have hurt my hand. I would like to tell how I have broken my arm.
It happened when I was 5 years old. I was in the yard and I was playing volleyball with my friends. Suddenly, I fell down and injured my arm. It was so painful! Luckily there was my dad; he took me to the hospital.

Problems at Work
Diana Nedbay, 10b

As you know, I was in China this summer, but I didn't have a rest, I was working there. My mother’s agency "Legend models" found a good contract for me in Guangzhou, China. They got in touch with with the agency called "Fable models" - which confirmed me. By the way, my mother’s mother agency is located in our town, it helps youmg models in this business and which finds jobs for them. So, I came to Guangzhou. Actually I had worked not only in China, last summer I had been to in Japan and sometimes I had had jobs in Ukraine. But my last flight was to China.
What can I say about problems at work? How to solve them? How to communicate with strangers ? I will try to answer all these questions. Yeah, to have a job is igood, you can earn and spend money by yourself, you are an independent and adult person... BUT! Have you ever thought that you can have a lot of problems at work? The first problem is that you are always exhausted after job and sometimes even don`t want to do anything. If I have this feeling, I soothe myself by the thought that I will earn money, that there are a lot of jobs, that are harder than mine (for example, a miner). People always say that model's work is very easy, but they for sure haven’t tried.

China
Diana Nedbay, 10b

I want to tell you about my impressions and feelings after my this summer’s trip to China. This year from 5th of August till 5th of October I was working in China in cozy and not so big city Guangzhou as a model representing our country. At first I travelled a complicated way to get there, cause it's very far from Ukraine. I went to Odessa, then had a flight from there to Istanbul (Turkey), from there had another flight to Shenzhen, after that I made a bus journey to HongKong and finally reached Guangzhou by train. So, this is how I got here, the following part will be more interesting.

Maria Kostenko, 10b

My dear reader, I'm sure you have a problem and need some help. I hope you will find answers for your questions here if you read this article. Teenage years are hard time for all of us. Why? There are several reasons. Firstly, that's because in the beginning of maturation process your body grows at increased rate. Of course, it's scary and you need to explore it again. The second reason is development of the hormonal glands. Hormones are produced in huge number, however, brains can't control them. That's why people surrounding you often complain about your mood changes. You can jump for joy and few minutes later your humour will be spoiled due to an insignificant trifle. The second factor is changing of human outlook at this age.
