Ukradli ste mi sanje, ukradli ste mi otroštvo
You stole my dream, you stole my childhood
Written by Sonja Merljak Zdovc, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Ukradli ste mi sanje, ukradli ste mi otroštvo
Greta Thunberg je svetovne voditelje nagovorila z mešanico žalosti in jeze v glasu.
Greta Thunberg addressed world leaders with a mixture of sadness and anger in her voice.
Ti so se na podnebnem vrhu v New Yorku zbrali pred 74. zasedanjem generalne skupščine Organizacije združenih narodov.
They gathered at the New York Climate Summit before the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
»Kako si drznete! S svojimi praznimi besedami ste mi ukradli sanje, ukradli ste mi otroštvo,« je dejala s solzami v očeh.
“How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,” she said with tears in her eyes.
Obtožila jih je še, da so zanemarili izsledke znanstvenikov.
She also accused them of neglecting the scientists' findings.
»Smo tik pred množičnim izumrtjem, vi pa govorite samo o denarju in pripovedujete pravljice o večni gospodarski rasti. Kako si drznete!«
“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”
In dodala: »Če se boste odločili, da nas boste razočarali, vam ne bomo nikoli oprostili.«
She added: "If you decide to disappoint us, we will never forgive you."
Še s petnajstimi otroki je naslovila peticijo na OZN. Pozivajo k odgovornosti držav, ki najbolj prispevajo k podnebnim spremembam.
Will fifteen other children she has petitioned the UN. They are calling for the accountability of the countries that contribute most to climate change.
Greta Thunberg je pred švedskim parlamentom ob petkih vztrajala sama. Sčasoma so se Petkom za prihodnost pridružili posamezni protestniki. Že pol leta kasneje je njen protest prerasel v globalno gibanje.
Greta Thunberg protested alone in front of the Swedish Parliament on Fridays. Eventually, more individual protesters joined her Fridays for Future protests. Half a year later, her protest grew into a global movement.
Otroci in odrasli po vsem svetu se že drugič množično podajajo na ulice. Zahtevajo, naj politiki poskrbijo za prihodnost planeta.
For the second time, children and adults alike are taking to the streets en masse. They demand that politicians take care of the future of the planet.
V Sloveniji bodo spet protestirali v petek, 27. septembra, ob 11.55.
They will protest again in Slovenia on Friday, September 27 at 11:55.

Gliste iz pradavnine
Ancient worms
Written by Urša Adamič, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
V fosiliziranem iztrebku pume, starem približno 17 tisoč let, so paleontologi odkrili ostanke najstarejšega parazita do sedaj.
In the fossilized excrement of a puma about 17,000 years old, palaeontologists have discovered the remains of the oldest parasite known to date.
Glista, katere jajčeca so našli, je danes zelo pogosta pri mačkah, psih in lisicah.
The worms, the eggs of which were found, are very common in cats, dogs and foxes today.
Dolgo so mislili, da se je na divje živali razširila z domačih, vendar to odkritje kaže, da morda ni bilo tako. V času, ko je puma izločila svoj iztrebek z jajčecami gliste, na tistem območju namreč še ni bilo ljudi, torej tudi domačih živali ne.
It has long been thought that the worms spread to wildlife from domestic animals, but this finding suggests that may not have been the case. At the time when the puma passed its faeces with the worm eggs there were no humans in the area, so no domestic animals.
Fosilizirani iztrebki se imenujejo korpoliti in ne smrdijo.
Fossilized faeces are called corpolites and do not stink.
Na prvi pogled so zelo podobni kamnu. Za znanstvenike so pomembni, ker vsebujejo molekule DNK, ki so prava zakladnica informacij.
At first look they are very similar to stone. They are important to scientists because they contain DNA molecules that are a real treasure trove of information.
Iz njih lahko razberejo veliko različnih podatkov o življenju živali in ljudi v davni preteklosti.
From them we can take a lot of different information about the lives of animals and humans in the ancient past.
Tako danes bolje razumemo, s čim se je prehranjeval tiranozaver ali kaj so imeli na jedilniku ljudje v mlajši kameni dobi v Turčiji.
Thus, today we better understand what a tyrannosaur ate or what people in the Early Stone Age in Turkey had on the menu.
Najstarejše zaporedje DNK so znanstveniki sicer izolirali iz konjske kosti, ki se je ohranila v permafrostu v zahodni Kanadi. Pripadala je vrsti divjih konj, ki so živeli pred 700 tisoč leti.
Scientists have isolated the oldest DNA sequences from horse bone preserved in permafrost in western Canada. It belonged to a kind of wild horse that lived 700,000 years ago.
DNK prvih Skandinavcev, ki so skandinavski polotok naselili pred približno 10 tisoč leti, pa so našli kar v prazgodovinski različici žvečilnih gumijev iz brezovega lubja.
The DNA of the first Scandinavians, who settled the Scandinavian peninsula about 10,000 years ago, was found in a prehistoric version of birch bark gum.

V iskanju druge Zemlje
In search of another Earth
Written by Urša Adamič, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Koliko Zemlji podobnih planetov in Soncu podobnih zvezd je v naši galaksiji?
How many Earth-like planets and Sun-like stars are in our galaxy?
Planeti, ki za kroženje porabijo približno toliko časa kot Zemlja in ki so obenem tudi približno enako veliki kot Zemlja, se po najnovejših ugotovitvah pojavljajo v bližini vsake četrte zvezde.
Planets that spend about as much time in orbit as the Earth, and are about the same size as the Earth, seem to appear near every fourth star, according to the latest findings.
Keplerjev vesoljski teleskop, ki danes sicer ne deluje več, je od leta 2009 v Mlečni cesti iskal Zemlji podobne planete, ki krožijo okoli zvezd, podobnih Soncu.
The Kepler space telescope, which is no longer working today, searched for Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars in the Milky Way since 2009.
Astronomi so z njim opazovali več kot 530 tisoč zvezd in več kot 2,500 planetov.
Astronomers observed more than 530,000 stars and more than 2,500 planets.
Pri določanju Zemlji podobnih planetov so upoštevali dve lastnosti: velikost planeta in čas, ki ga potrebuje, da obkroži svojo zvezdo.
In determining Earth-like planets, they took into account two characteristics: the size of the planet and the time it takes to orbit its star.
Ugotovili so, da je čas kroženja Zemlji podobnih planetov od 237 do 500 dni, njihova velikost pa se giblje med tremi četrtinami ter eno in pol velikosti Zemlje.
They found that the time of orbit of Earth-like planets was 237 to 500 days, with their size ranging between three-fourths and one-half that of the Earth.
Raziskovalci so želeli bolje razumeti proces nastajanja planetov in poiskati takšne, ki bi omogočali pogoje za življenje.
Researchers wanted to better understand the process of planet formation and find those that would provide living conditions.
Še posebej so se osredotočili na iskanje biomarkerjev v njihovi atmosferi, molekul, ki bi lahko nakazovale, da je na teh planetih življenje.
They were particularly focused on finding biomarkers in their atmospheres, molecules that could indicate that life is on these planets.
»Toda raziskava življenja na eksoplanetih predstavlja zahteven izziv, za katerega bo potrebna veliko obsežnejša vesoljska misija,« meni eden od vodilnih raziskovalcev Eric B. Ford.
"But exploring life on exoplanets presents a difiicult challenge that will require a much larger space mission," says one of the leading researchers, Eric B. Ford.
Zanimanje za eksoplanete, ki so podobni Zemlji, v astronomiji ni novost. Pred dvema letoma so odkrili, da se okoli majhne zvezde Trappist-1, ki je od nas oddaljena 39 svetlobnih let, vrti sedem Zemlji podobnih planetov.
The interest in Earth-like exoplanets is not new to astronomy. Two years ago, it was discovered that seven Earth-like planets revolve around the tiny star Trappist-1, 39 light-years away.

If you live in Slovenia then you can watch cable TV with Slovenian subtitles, and if you’re outside the country then RTV Slovenia has a good website and app. You can learn about that here, although it only offers Slovenian audio and subtitles, so not ideal for beginners.
If you know how to use .srt files you can get subtitles for your video files from various places online (such as podnapisi.net), while there are also services like Putlocker, where you’re confronted with a bunch of pop-up ads for gambling, dating sites, pornography and so on, with the possibility of streaming videos along with subtitles in the language of your choice.
Another option is Moj Video, where if you search for Slovenski podnapisi (Slovenian subtitles), you can find a number of movies in English, free to watch, with subtitles to practice your vocab and grammar.
I won’t speculate as to the full legality of all aspects of the site’s operation, but will say that it’s not plagued with pop-up ads, and while the videos are rather low resolution the key point here is being able to hear the audio in English and see a fair Slovenian translation on screen at the same time. You can dig around and see what’s on offer here.

Kako ukrotiti svoje učitelje
How to tame your teachers
Written by Katarina Bulatović, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
V življenju boste srečali mnogo učiteljev.
You will meet many teachers in your life.
Nekatere boste oboževali: ti vas bodo navdihnili, povzdignili, veliko naučili, mogoče bodo celo vplivali na to, kaj boste postali, usedli se bodo v vaša srca.
Some you will adore: they will inspire you, elevate you, teach you a lot, they may even influence what you become, they will settle into your hearts.
Druge boste želeli poslati iz razreda: ti vas bodo naučili, kako se postaviti zase, kako krotiti jezo, kako se dokazati ali kako sprejeti nekoga, ki vam gre na živce.
You will want to send others out of the class: they will teach you how to stand up for yourself, how to temper your anger, how to prove yourself, or how to accept someone who gets on your nerves.
Naleteli boste tudi na dolgočasne, organizirane, zaskrbljene, materinske, hiperaktivne, z zdravjem obsedene učitelje in še mnoge, mnoge druge.
You will also come across boring, organised, anxious, maternal, hyperactive, health-obsessed teachers, and many, many more.
Mogoče vas bodo učili tudi taki učitelji, ki se jih kasneje sploh ne boste več spomnili.
You may also be taught by some teachers that you won’t remember at all.
Ljudje smo različni. In tako kot boste v življenju srečevali takšne in drugačne ljudi, takšne in drugačne prijatelje, sorodnike, šefe, tako boste srečali tudi takšne in drugačne učitelje. Ampak od vsakega se boste kaj naučili.
We humans are different. And just as you will meet many different people in your life, like different friends, relatives, bosses, so will you meet various teachers. But you will learn something from each.
Napotki, kako ukrotiti svojega učitelja
How to tame your teacher
Ko prideš v šolo, ga pozdravi. Majhna stvar, ki pomeni ogromno.
When you get to school, greet him. A small thing that means a lot.
Sem in tja ga malo pohvali. Takrat, ko si zasluži.
Praise him a little here and there. Just when he deserves it.
Delaj domačo nalogo. Preprosta matematika pravi: brez domače naloge = siten učitelj in dolgo predavanje o tem, kako vam domača naloga koristi, da je ne delate zanj in …; z domačo nalogo = srečen učitelj, brez predavanja.
Do your homework. Simple math says: no homework = annoying teacher and a long lecture about how your homework benefits you from working for it and…; homework = happy teacher, no lecture.
Bodi vljuden, učitelja spoštuj. Učitelj je vaš učitelj. Je nekdo, ki vas hoče nekaj naučiti, nekdo, ki vam hoče dobro, nekdo, ki vas ima rad. Če učitelj spoštuje vas, tudi vi spoštujte učitelja.
Be polite, respect the teacher. The teacher is your teacher. He is someone who wants to teach you something, someone who wants you well, someone who loves you. If the teacher respects you, you also respect the teacher.
Pogovarjaj se z učiteljem. Učitelji se radi pogovarjamo s svojimi učenci. Če česa ne razumeš, mu povej.
Talk to your teacher. Teachers like to talk to our students. If you don't understand something, tell him.
Pomagaj sošolcem. Pri učenju, pri pospravljanju, pri pridobivanju prijateljev, v žalostnih dneh … Tako boste postali pravi junaki. Meni se zdi to veliko bolj pomembno kot najboljši uspeh.
Help your classmates. When you study, when you get dressed, when you make friends, on sad days ... You will become a real hero. I find this much more important than the greatest success.
Tako, dragi moji, boste odlično začeli svoje leto. Vse je lažje, če se razumete z učiteljem. Če mu zaupate, če ga spoštujete. In če boste vi spoštovali učitelja, bo tudi on spoštoval vas.
So, my dear, you will have a great start to your year. It's easier to get along with your teacher. If you trust him, if you respect him. And if you respect the teacher, he will respect you too.
In veste kaj?
And you know what?
Učitelj bo ukročen.
The teacher will be tamed.

Največji gozd na svetu izginja v plamenih
The world's largest forest is disappearing in flames
Written by Katarina Bulatović, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Mladi za podnebno pravičnost se bodo popoldan zbrali pred brazilskim veleposlaništvom v Ljubljani.
Young People for Climate Justice will gather in the afternoon at the Brazilian Embassy in Ljubljana.
Protestirali bodo, ker menijo, da v Braziliji ne storijo dovolj, da bi zamejili požare v amazonskem pragozdu.
They will protest because they believe they are not doing enough in Brazil to contain fires in the Amazon forest.
Protesti so potekali tudi v Londonu, Amsterdamu, Dublinu. Finska je celo pozvala k prepovedi uvoza mesa iz Brazilije.
Protests have also taken place in London, Amsterdam, Dublin. Finland has even called for a ban on meat imports from Brazil.
Zakaj?
Why?
V amazonskem pragozdu že več dni zelo gori. Ogenj in gost dim sta vidna celo iz vesolja.
It has been burning in the Amazon for several days. Fire and dense smoke are visible even from outer space.
Amazonski pragozd je pol velik kot Evropa in je največji tropski pragozd na svetu.
The Amazon forest is as big as Europe, and is the largest tropical forest in the world.
Po podatkih brazilskega raziskovalnega inštituta INPE je bilo letos v pragozdu okoli 72 tisoč požarov, kar je 84 odstotkov več kot lani.
According to the Brazilian research institute INPE, there were about 72,000 fires in the primeval forest this year, 84 percent more than last year.
»Požari so posledica krčenja gozda v zadnjih mesecih,« je za BBC pojasnil okoljevarstvenik Ricardo Mello iz Svetovnega sklada za naravo (WWF).
"The fires are the result of deforestation in recent months," the environmentalist Ricardo Mello of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) told the BBC.
Brazilski predsednik Jair Bolsonara je za tuje medije sicer dejal, da je zelo verjetno, da so požare podtaknile nevladne organizacije.
The Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, however, told foreign media that it is highly likely that the fires were started by NGOs.
A te pravijo, da je za požare odgovoren prav Bolsonara. Novi brazilski predsednik je dovolil, da pragozd izsekavajo bolj kot kdajkoli prej. S tem je omogočil več denarja gozdarstvu in kmetijstvu, a škodil naravi.
But they [the NGOs] say that Bolsonaro is responsible for the fires. The new Brazilian president has allowed more deforestation than ever. This means more money for forestry and agriculture, but harms nature.
Amazonski pragozd zagotavlja skoraj 10 odstotkov kisika, ki ga potrebujemo za življenje. Ustvarjajo ga drevesa, ki vsrkavajo tudi ogljikov dioksid iz ozračja in s tem zmanjšujejo segrevanje Zemlje.
The Amazon rainforest provides nearly 10% of the oxygen we need for life. It is created by trees that also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby reducing the warming of the Earth.
Pragozd je še pomemben, ker nudi dom več kot trem milijonom živalskih vrst in rastlin.
The forest is even more important because it provides a home to over three million animal species and plants.
Kaj lahko ti narediš, da bodo gozdove čim manj izsekavali?
What can you do to minimize deforestation?
Varčuj pri porabi energije in pazljivo izbirajo živila. Brazilski kmetje naj bi pragozd krčili ravno zato, da dobijo površine za pridelavo hrane oziroma za pašo govedi.
Save energy and choose foods carefully. Brazilian farmers are said to have carried out deforestation in order to obtain areas for food production or the grazing of cattle.

Janja Garnbret Prva Plezalka S Petimi Zlatimi Medaljami
Janja Garnbret First Climber With Five Gold Medals
Written by Katarina Bulatović, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
»Nepredstavljivo je, kaj mi je uspelo v tej sezoni,« je dejala Janja Garnbret.
“It is inconceivable what I have achieved this season,” said Janja Garnbret.
Svetovna prvakinja je postala še v težavnostnem plezanju.
The World Champion became even more confident in climbing.
Uspešna je bila tudi Mia Krampl, ki je dosegla drugo mesto.
Mia Krampl was also successful, finishing second.
Že dva dni prej je Janja Garnbret navijače razveselila z osvojitvijo zlate kolajne v balvanskem plezanju.
Two days earlier, Janja Garnbret had already been cheered by fans for the gold medal in bouldering.
V tej disciplini je kot prva športnica na svetu drugič zapored ubranila naslov svetovne prvakinje.
In this discipline, she is the first athlete in the world to defend the title of world champions for the second time.
»Oba naslova mi res veliko, veliko pomenita in res sem vesela, da sem obdržala mirno glavo,« je po osvojitvi naslova dejala plezalka.
"Both titles really mean a lot to me, and I'm really happy to keep my head calm," said the climber after winning the title.
»Jaz samo uživam in plezam tako, kot znam,« je po osvojitvi dveh zlatih medalj na Japonskem dejala mlada Korošica.
"I just enjoy the climb as I know it," said the young girl from Korošica after winning two gold medals in Japan.
Jutri se bo potegovala še za tretje odličje na tem prvenstvu.
Tomorrow she will compete for a third in this championship.
V nedeljo se je že uvrstila tudi na olimpijske igre, ki bodo prihodnje leto v Tokiu.
On Sunday she also made it to the Olympics, which will be in Tokyo next year

Mladost naj bi bila norost, a tudi mladi imajo svoje skrbi
Youth is supposed to be madness, but young people also have their concerns
Kolikokrat si zaželiš, da bi že enkrat odrasla? Takrat lahko sama odločaš, kdaj se boš učila, jedla čokolado ali igrala video igre.
How many times have you wished you could grow at once? You could then decide when to study, eat chocolate or play video games.
Fino, kajne?
Fine, right?
Vendar svet dobrih 300,000 mladih, ki pri nas vstopajo v svet odraslih, ni vedno rožnat. Na to ob današnjem mednarodnem dnevu mladih opozarjajo mladinske organizacije.
However, the world of over 300,000 young people entering the adult world is not always rosy. Youth organizations are drawing attention to this on today's International Youth Day.

»Največji izziv današnjih mladih je zagotovo ustrezna rešitev stanovanjskega vprašanja,« pravi Jasmina Opec Vöröš, vodja zagovorništva pri Mladinskem svetu Slovenije (MSS).
"The biggest challenge for today's youth is certainly the proper solution to the housing problem," says Jasmina Opec Vöröš, head of advocacy at the Youth Council of Slovenia (MSS).
Mladi, ki želijo zapustiti dom, v katerem so živeli kot otroci, težko najamejo, kaj šele kupijo stanovanje. Teh primanjkuje oziroma so tako draga, da si jih mladi nikakor ne morejo privoščiti, dodaja Jasmina Opec Vöröš.
Young people who want to leave the home they lived in as children find it difficult to rent, let alone buy, an apartment. They are scarce or so expensive that young people cannot afford them at all, adds Jasmina Opec Vöröš.
Brezposelnost med mladimi se je v zadnjih letih sicer zmanjšala, a mnogi še vedno ne zaslužijo dovolj.
Although youth unemployment has decreased in recent years, many still do not earn enough.
Njihova plača ne zadošča za najemnino, banke pa tistim brez rednih prihodkov ne želijo posoditi denarja.
Their pay is not enough for rent, and banks do not want to lend money to those without regular income.
»To vpliva na osamosvajanje mladih, saj si težko ustvarijo družino,« poudarja sogovornica.
"This affects the independence of young people, because they have a difficult time starting a family," said one interviewee.
Dan mladih od leta 1999 obeležujemo na pobudo generalne skupščine Organizacije združenih narodov (OZN).
Youth Day has been celebrated since 1999 at the initiative of the United Nations General Assembly.
Tema letošnjega je preoblikovanje izobraževanj. OZN si želi, da bi izobraževanje postalo dostopno za vse mlade.
The theme of this year is the transformation of education. The UN wants education to be accessible to all young people.
»Velik izziv je tudi zagotavljanje delovnih mest za visoko izobražene mlade, predvsem v krajih, ki niso večja mestna središča,« še opozarja Jasmina Opec Vöröš.
"It is also a great challenge to provide jobs for highly educated young people, especially in places other than major urban centres," points out Jasmina Opec Vöröš.

Fortnite je zelo drugačen od resničnega življenja
Fortnite is very different from real life
Blaž Lešnik je edini Slovenec, ki se mu je uspelo uvrstiti na največji turnir v igranju videoigre Fortnite.
Blaž Lešnik is the only Slovenian who has managed to qualify for the biggest Fortnite video game tournament.
V kvalifikacijah za nastop na zaključnem turnirju je prek spleta sodelovalo okoli 40 milijonov igralcev z vsega sveta.
About 40 million players from around the world participated online in the qualifications for the final tournament.
Brez trdega dela tudi pri igranju videoigric ni uspeha, pravi šestnajstletni srednješolec, ki ga soigralci poznajo pod vzdevkom K1nzell in ki nastopa za Team Atlantis.
Without the hard work of playing video games, there is no success, says the sixteen-year-old high school student, known by teammates under the alias K1nzell, who plays for Team Atlantis.
V finale na teniškem stadionu v New Yorku se jih je uvrstilo sto, med njimi tudi Blaž, ki je zasedel 30. mesto. Za nagrado si je prislužil 45 tisoč evrov.
One hundred made it to the finals at the New York Tennis Stadium, including Blaž, who finished 30th. He won a prize of €45,000.
Kako je potekal turnir?
How did the tournament go?
V New York smo odpotovali približno teden dni pred turnirjem. Tam smo potem večino časa trenirali, da smo se privadili igranju v drugačnem okolju.
We travelled to New York about a week before the tournament. We then trained there most of the time to get used to playing in a different environment.
V nedeljo smo odšli na stadion okoli štiri ure pred začetkom tekmovanja. Približno ob enih popoldan so organizatorji poskrbeli za koncert DJ-ja Marshmella.
On Sunday, we went to the stadium about four hours before the start of the competition. At about one in the afternoon, the organisers arranged for a concert by DJ Marshmello.
Takoj po koncu se je začel turnir.
Immediately after this finished the tournament began.
Potekal je odlično, saj sem po četrti igri zasedel 5. mesto. Zaradi nesreče in povečanega števila igralcev v mojem izbranem »landing stepu« Sunny Steps pa potem ni več potekalo vse po načrtih.
It went great as I finished 5th after the fourth game. This was by chance and due to the increased number of players in my chosen "landing step", Sunny Steps, then everything went as planned.
Kako so potekale priprave na tekmovanje?
How did the preparations for the competition go?
Fortnite igram že približno dve leti, torej odkar obstaja.
I've been playing Fortnite for about two years now, so they were happening all that time.
Vsak dan sem v igranje vložil veliko ur, kar se je na koncu tudi izplačalo.
Every day I played for many hours, which eventually paid off.
Fortnite je igra, ki združuje bojevanje, raziskovanje in gradnjo virtualnega sveta. Kaj je tebi pri igri še posebno všeč?
Fortnite is a game that combines fighting, exploring and building a virtual world. What do you particularly like about the game?
Fortnite je edinstvena videoigra. Takoj me je zelo pritegnila, saj je bila edina, ki vsebuje grajenje.
Fortnite is a unique video game. It immediately caught my attention as it was the only one which includes creativity.
V kakšnem smislu?
In what sense?
Všeč mi je, kako je lahko vsak posamezen igralec oziroma njegov način igranja drugačen od ostalih.
I like how each individual player or their way of playing can be different from the others.
V Fortnitu si lahko zelo kreativen, zaradi česar si lahko boljši od večine.
You can be very creative in Fortnite, and this can make you better than most.
V igri je tudi kar nekaj nasilja. Kako to razumeš?
There is also quite a bit of violence in the game. How do you understand that?
Na to ne gledam kot na nasilje, saj je igra zelo različna od resničnega življenja.
I do not view this as violence, as the game is very different from real life.
Koliko časa na dan posvetiš Fortnitu?
How much time a day do you dedicate to Fortnite?
Več ur, da lahko ostanem na tako visokem nivoju, kar je pa tudi zelo težko.
Many hours to stay at such a high level, which is also very difficult.
Kaj še počneš v prostem času?
What else do you do in your spare time?
Veliko časa mi vzame šola, zato večino prostega časa posvetim igranju oziroma treniranju Fortnita.
A lot of the time I have school, so I spend most of my free time playing or coaching Fortnite.
Kaj si še želiš doseči?
What else do you want to achieve?
V prihodnosti se ob igranju želim posvetiti še snemanju videov in predvajanju igranja v živo na Twitchu oziroma YouTubu.
In the future, when I play I want to focus on video recording and live streaming on Twitch or YouTube.

Prvi človek na Luni spremenil svet
The first man on the Moon changed the world
Written by Katarina Bulatović, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
»Majhen korak za človeka, a velik skok za človeštvo.«
"A small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind."
To so znamenite besede, ki jih je pred 50 leti izrekel ameriški astronavt Neil Armstrong in se za vedno zapisal v zgodovino človeštva.
These are the famous words spoken 50 years ago by American the astronaut Neil Armstrong and forever written in the history of mankind.
Skupaj z Buzzom Aldrinom in Michaelom Collinsom je 16. julija 1969 v misiji Apollo 11 na raketi Saturn 5 poletel v vesolje.
Together with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, on July 16, 1969, in Apollo 11, the Saturn 5 rocket flew into space.
Štiri dni kasneje sta Armstrong in Aldrin kot prva na svetu pristala na površju Lune.
Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin were the first from Earth to land on the surface of the Moon.
Na Luni sta bili dve uri in pol, nabrala sta vzorce prahu in kamenja, se fotografirala in v njeno površje zapičila ameriško zastavo.
They spent two and a half hours on the Moon, collected dust and stone samples, took photographs, and planted the American flag on its surface.
Odprava Apolla 11 se je na Zemljo vrnila 24. julija. Tedaj so se trije astronavti prvič predstavili javnosti. Sprejeli so jih kot narodne junake.
The Apollo 11 returned to Earth on July 24th. The three astronauts were then first introduced to the public. They were greeted as national heroes.
ZDA in Sovjetska zveza sta tedaj tekmovali, katera bo v osvajanju vesolja prva.
The United States and the Soviet Union were then competing who would be the first in the conquest of space.
Čeprav je bil pristanek na Luni za Američane velika zmaga, je ta dogodek tudi za vedno spremenil družbo. To je bil uspeh za človeštvo, ne le za Američane.
Although landing on the Moon was a great victory for the Americans, this event also changed society forever. It was a success for humanity, not just for Americans.
