So
school is out for summer. For the next two months we don't
have to study for our classes or do any homework, which
is just amazing. It rained a lot the last few weeks,
but now the weather is getting nicer. So everything seems
to be working out for us.

Homer's Job
One day Homer doesn't wake up at seven like he normally does. In fact, he doesn't get up until noon. It's a workday so he's expected at the plant. When he doesn't show up, Mr Burns gets very angry. Even though there is no one at the plant to replace Homer, Mr Burns decides to fire him. Smithers calls Homer and tells him not to bother coming to work the next day. Lucky for Homer, Marge is out shopping so she doesn't find out right away.
Homer hates his job so he doesn't really mind losing it. But he decides not to tell Marge yet. He doesn't want her to know that the family won't be able to afford any fancy food or trips anymore. He worries that Marge will yell at him for getting fired and he's probably right. There is no way he could explain this to her without sounding like a complete moron. Also, Marge would probably make him go back and ask for his job back. This could actually work, but Homer is too proud to beg.
Homer spends the rest of the afternoon watching TV and eating donuts. When Marge gets back from the mall, Homer locks himself in the basement so that she doesn't find him. He keeps hiding for the rest of the day. Marge finally catches him getting beer from the fridge and asks him what's going on. He's supposed to still be at work so what the hell is he doing sneaking around the house?
Eventually Homer tells Marge the truth about getting fired and being afraid to tell her. He blames the alarm clock but Marge says it's his own fault for not fixing it when it stopped working a month ago. Anyway, once Marge gets over her shock she forgives Homer. But she tells him he needs to figure out a way to bring home some money or else they'll have nothing to eat. Homer suggests that he could join the Mafia but Marge doesn't think so.

Minecraft (1)
A year ago I first thought of making a game for little boys. Six months later I hired
some people and started actually working on it. It took us a month to agree what the game was going to look like but we are all on the same page now. I'm really excited about the whole project. If it goes the way I want it to, it will be an amazing little game that I will be very proud of. I want everyone to be impressed with my game, especially little boys.
The point of the game will be to build things and then destroy them once you get tired of them. But you won't actually have to destroy anything unless you feel like it. You will be free to just fool around without building anything if that's what you want. Also, there will be no killing or very little of it. Most games involve a lot of shooting and killing. Mine won't.

You will be free to just fool around without building anything if that's what you want. Also, there will be no killing or very little of it. Most games involve a lot of shooting and killing. Mine won't.
The game is going
to be called Minecraft. You will be able to build as many things as
you want and no one will be allowed to stop you. There will be enough space for everyone to build huge buildings. I'll probably make the game
more interesting by including some cool features like signposts and
secret rooms.
The longer you'll
play the better you will get. It only takes a couple hours to learn
the rules so there is no excuse for not playing the game. If you get
tired of something you built, you can blow it up using TNT. If you
want to show off, you can post snapshots on the Internet so everyone
can admire you.
I'm not doing this
to make money, and I would try to make this game even if I wasn't
paid for it. If it sells well, I won't mind, but I'm not interested
in getting rich. I'm just trying to build something that kids will
enjoy.
There have been
some problems, too. I promised to finish the game by the end of the
year and I'm running out of money. I'll keep working on it even if I
stop getting paid. But I'm afraid my family will make me get a real
job so they don't have to beg for food on the street.
Harry Potter (1) Harry Finds Out About Hogwarts
Harry is growing
up without his parents. He misses them a lot even though he never
really knew them. They were killed by an evil spirit when Harry was a
small child. There was no one to take care of Harry afterwards and he
ended up living with a bunch of strangers.
grow up ... vyrůstat
I miss her ... ona mně chybí
even though ... přestože, i když
evil spirit ... zlý duch
take care of him ... postarejte se o něj
afterwards ... potom, pak
she ended up crying ... dopadlo to tak, že se rozplakala
a bunch of strangers ... pár nějakých cizích lidí
The Dursleys, the
family that Harry lives with, treat him very badly. He isn't even
allowed to watch TV or leave his room in the evening. The Dursleys
have their own son, whose name is Dudley, and they prefer him to
Harry.
Dudley doesn't
like Harry either and the two boys don't get along at all. None of
this is Harry's fault. Dudley is a fat spoiled dumb kid and his
parents are simply mean. They all give Harry a hard time about every
little thing that he does. In fact, they seem to enjoy making his
life hard.
Harry is 11 now
and he is tired of dealing with these horrible people. He is trying
to figure out a way to escape, but he has no idea where to go. He
doesn't have any relatives and he couldn't pay to stay at a hotel.
The police would soon find him and bring him back.
One day a big bird
shows up at Harry's window and leaves a bunch of letters. The
Dursleys hide the letters before Harry can read them and they lock
the door so he can't go out and talk to the bird. But nothing will
stop Harry at this point. He sneaks into the living room and steals
the letters.
By reading the
letters Harry finds out that there are people out there who care
about him and want him to come join them. Harry also learns that the
guy who killed his parents is still looking for him. He realizes that
he needs to be careful. Otherwise he will get killed just like his
parents.

Playhouse
BARA:
Ugh. What an awful day. I'm so bored.
PETER:
Me too. There's nothing to do.
BARA:
Hey, why don't we build a playhouse?
PETER:
Sounds great. Let's do that.
BARA:
Where are we going to build it?
PETER:
How about right here?
BARA:
You mean the living room?
PETER:
Sure, why not? Dad won't mind.
BARA:
What if he does? He hates stuff like that.
PETER:
Not always. He's usually cool with it.
BARA:
Everytime we build something, he gets mad.
PETER:
Well, if he says no, we'll build it anyway.
BARA:
Ok. You'll get yelled at, not me.
PETER:
That's right. So don't worry about it.
BARA:
Ok. Just as long as you don't blame me after.
awful … strašný
you were bored … nudili jste se
stuff like that … takové věci
she's cool with it … jí to nevadí, je v pohodě
get mad … naštvat se
we did it anyway … ale stejně jsme to udělali
I got (was) yelled at … seřvali mě, schytal jsem to
don't worry about it … to neřeš, tím se netrap
as long as I win … pokud vyhraju, hlavně že vyhraju
I blame you … podle mě za to můžeš ty
who else besides me … kde jiný ještě, kromě mě?
roof … střecha
shelf … police, regál
reach st … dosáhnout na něco
the red one … ten červený / ta červená
next to … vedle
fireplace … krb
heavy … těžký
notebook … sešit
even better … ještě lepší
less smart … míň chytrý
pot … hrnec
instead (of st) … namísto (něčeho)
I wonder if... … přemýšlím jestli...
PETER:
So what do we need? I mean, besides the blankets.
BARA:
Some books, I guess, so the roof doesn't fall.
PETER:
How many? Will four be enough?
BARA:
You want me to take some down from the shelf?
PETER:
Could you? I'm too short to reach them.
BARA:
Which ones? The small ones next to the fireplace?
PETER:
No, those aren't heavy enough.
BARA:
What about Dad's notebooks?
PETER:
Those are even less good.
BARA:
Ok. Why don't I take them all down...
PETER:
Actually, you know what, let's use pots instead.
BARA:
But they're not as heavy as the books.
PETER:
Oh. You're right. What else is there?
BARA:
I wonder.
PETER:
Maybe we could use something totally different.
BARA:
Like what?
PETER:
Like beer bottles. There are some in the fridge.
BARA:
I don't think that's going to work.
PETER:
We'll never know until we try.
