Gabriel Ninidze – Phileas fogg’s New Year journey

One day Mr. Fogg and his friends decided to travel and collect toys for the New Year’s tree. They traveled a lot by car, ship, and with ear balloon. They wanted to have the most gorgeous tree in their country. They started their trip from London and went to neighboring countries to buy their traditional tree toys. So they went from London to Paris and they bought an Eiffel tower glass toy. After Paris, they went to Barcelona and bought the Matador toy. After Spain they decided to travel to Greece, but it was far away, so they took a ship to travel by sea.

They liked the ship trip. After one month on the ship, they get in Greece. They bought many antique things. After that they went by car to Poland and then to Germany. They bought toys there too and after that they went back to France and with an air balloon got back to London to have fun and have the best New Year’s evening. They made the best New Year tree and had the best trip time together.

Gulliver didn’t like to live in Blefuscu so he decided to build a time machine.  He was teleported in 2022 and found himself directly in the middle of the street. He did not know that lots of cars were in the street at that time and so he almost was hit by the car. Some children saw him in the street and decided to help him. They took Gulliver home and gave him normal clothes. Then they went to buy a Christmas tree and toys. They started decorating a house, everything was very colorful and it was very fun. Then they went to cook Christmas dinner. Children went to sleep. Everyone was waiting for 12 o’clock. Nearly at 12 clock kids woke up. They went to open the gifts. Children received toys and gifts and Gulliver a phone. Gulliver didn’t know how to use the phone and what could he use it for, so children taught him how to use it and advised him to make his own YouTube channel where he would tell people about his unbelievable adventures. Gulliver became a cool youtuber he stayed very cool, he had over 10 million subscribers and now he has a lot of money and helps children’s families.

About my plans in 2022

I am Ani Kalmakhelidze. In 2021 I was thinking about what I want to do in 2022. I want to watch all of the new movies like Harry Potter or Spiderman and see my friends more often.

 Once upon a time there was a man named Gulliver, the next day it was the New Year and he did not have a Christmas tree, so he went to buy a Christmas tree, when he went to the Christmas tree shop, he saw many Christmas trees, some were big, some medium and some small. Gulliver had a hard time choosing a Christmas tree, but at last he saw one Christmas tree that he liked very much and decided to buy it. Then he put the Christmas tree in the car and started driving. When he was driving, suddenly the Christmas tree spoke. Uch it hurts, drive carefully please. Gulliver stopped the car and said what was that? It must be my imagination, then the Christmas tree spoke again did not I said to drive carefully Gulliver thought it must be my imagination again. when he went home he decorated the Christmas tree and then he went to his friend’s house named Phileas fogg He told his story of what happened and then he went home and what did he saw: the Christmas tree, a stocking, presents, a candy cane, a gingerbread man, a reindeer and even Santa were drinking hot chocolate but what happened Santa gave Gulliver presents so what did you think grownups do not want presents? Ok let’s continue and Gulliver also said: What happened Santa gave me presents. Now I know that New Year’s items can also talk and I even have more friends and they even celebrated Christmas together.

My name is Anamaria Javakhadze and I am 8 years old. In the New Year 2022 I want to celebrate Christmas with my whole family: with my dad, with my mom and with my brother. I also want to: dance,   sing  and do everything that is fun and I hope that covid-19 will go away in the New Year and I hope that this will really happen and I wish that everyone will be good. I also wanted to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Giorgi Romelashvili – New Year with Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg is getting ready for the New Year. He is very fond of the New Year holiday. Do you remember Jean Passepartout? Of course! He is Phileas Fog’s servant, who helps him in everything. Every New Year Phileas Fogg has a tradition of helping poor families, because he is a very kind person.

His wife Aouda prepares delicious dishes for the New Year. Reform Club members have been invited for the New Year. Phileas Fogg’s supper is varied. He also added Georgian dishes to the table (Satsivi, Gozinaki) and made the table more diverse. Aouda also added Indian dishes.

However before the New Year they decided to come to the children’s shelter because there is no New Year without kindness and gifts. They gave lots of nice gifts to the kids. The children were delighted and happy. That evening the big snow came Philia Fogg, Postpartum and Aouda stood with Santa Claus in the yard with the kids, hugged each other, then set up a big Christmas tree in the hall, decorated it with toys and had a fun time.

Twenty returned home with members of their Reform Club, Aouda’s Indian relatives were also welcomed, and they all wished each other a Happy New Year.

Tamar Lotishvili – Phileas Fogg’s New Year

New Year is coming. New expectations, new wishes and new adventures are coming with New Year. It would be interesting for me how Phileas Fogg, his family and his friends are going to celebrate New Year. This is what I am going to write about in my essay.

Phileas Fogg and his wife are decorating Christmas tree , Jean Passepartout is cooking ginger breads and other Christmas meals too, throwing fireworks, singing and playing, inviting close friends but they do not know how to use their phones so Aouda has got a friend whose name is Mr. Seeker. Aouda sends a letter  and asks for help. Mr. Seeker comes to their house and helps them. Phileas Fogg must be very interested in modern technologies, internet and this would be a challenge but he would not be afraid of challenges. He would use the internet and modern technologies to travel again in those countries where he travelled around the world in 80 days. Aouda would learn how to use internet and order food by Glovo.

Finally, if Phileas Fogg travelled in 21th century he would have some problems in learning technologies, but he would overcome it soon.

 As for me, I would like to travel in the USA, visit Disneyland and have fun there in 2022. I can visit amusement parks, a rollercoaster, fairytale land where I can meet Snow White, Elsa and many others.

Hi, I am Gulliver nice to meet you! I want to tell you one story about my adventure but first, I want to tell you about myself.  

 When it’s a New Year, I always get a Christmas tree. My wife son and me, always celebrate the New Year. I always had one big problem, they had missions. My lord always had a mission for me. I don’t have time to enjoy these wonderful times, but there is one way how to avoid these situations. I’ll visit my lord, and say to him that I went to enjoy some time with my family. My lord is very heartfelt, so I think he will say yes. I would like a brand new ship for Christmas.  

Now it’s time to tell my adventure in Lapland.  

In December 31, at 23.30 p.m. my friends and I were going on a mission in Lapland. We had to explore this country and write something about it. It was 23:59 p.m. when something strange happened. Right at 00:00 we flew up in the sky! Our ship was soiling on clouds. I was so amazed! We were flying! 

At that moment, we saw a sled flying in the sky. Of course, we thought it was Santa Claus and we were right! Santa was flying to us. When he jumped off the sled, we said hello to him. We told him that we love him and we followed him to Lapland. We landed on the snow and entered his house. In Santa’s home, he gave us ted with bread and jam. Then he spoke to us:  

– Nice to meet you, young boys! 

– Said Santa.

– It’s nice for me, too! Answered my friend Jack. 

– How old are you, Mr. Santa? – I asked  

– I’m not as old as you! I’m about 64 years old, boys! – answered Santa!   

We all hoped that we’ll set good presents as ship, golds and etc.  

– I wish that I had a new ship I dreamt in mind. 

– Mr. Santa, how do you get all these presents for kids? Asked john (my another friend), it’s a secret, young boys! – said Santa! 

In the end, Santa Claus gave us a few bottles of water and fruit because we didn’t have any and we arrived home happily.  

What do you like for Christmas? 

Me: I’d like a brand new car. 

Saba Kvinikadze – Larry puts Christmas story

It was a normal day, I was watching a movie about a candy machine, the machine that was able to make candy out of anything! Christmas was coming close so I decide to write a letter to Santa! After finishing writing a letter I put it into mailbox and went home. Finally it was January 1st, I ran down to my Christmas tree excited about my present. I saw a candy machine waiting for me under the Christmas tree, and I immediately started to use it. All you needed is to press a button when I pressed it, it gave me candy. After that, I called my friend and told him about the candy machine. He was shocked, he said: wow this is very cool can we test it together? I said that I have already tested it, friend: it’s ok I want to see your machine that gives you candy. Ok just come to my house and I will show you. The next day he came to my house and I showed him the machine. My friend said that we could use it to make Lilliputians happy, I really liked his idea so I decided to tell everything to emperor, he seemed to like it too, I couldn’t be happier.  After that I started to sell candy everyone in the town seemed to like it too, as the time pas candy started to sell even more and more candy, but one day…. something really bad happened. The candy machine broke, and I had to throw it away. Before I could leave it started to work on its own I was very confused but I didn’t have time to think because all of sudden a big monster formed out of candy and started to break and crush everything  that was in the way. It started to run after me, I was so scared I couldn’t even move! But suddenly I saw someone jump on the monster from behind, they when chopped his head off and saved me, to be honest without them I would probably be dead. This was my story. Hi my name is Saba.  This year I want to learn more about English, about the world and other languages. I want to meet more people. And I want the pandemic to end. Thanks for looking

Nutsa Bachiashvili – Gulliver’s New Year

Now I will tell you about Gulliver’s New Year’s Eve and his adventure. Gulliver decided to meet the New Year with his new friends, and he went to the king’s palace. The king was very glad and happy. He asked Lilliputians to decorate the palace to put a very big and beautiful Christmas tree. He invited a lot of people, they had a lot of sweets and cakes. Everybody sang and danced. Suddenly the king saw that there wasn’t a golden star on the top of the Christmas tree. Everyone thought that Gulliver was the thief because only Gulliver could reach the star. One bed man said that he saw how Gulliver took the star. Gulliver was arrested. Suddenly professor Verity has come. He told the bed man to sit on the truth machine chair. Professor Verity put some questions to the men. It was clear that the man was the thief. Gulliver was free and happy. Everybody was happy. Gulliver’s desire was to stay there forever. The king’s desire also was the same, he wanted Gulliver to stay with them forever. At 12 o’clock Santa Claus has come and everybody was gifted with presents. Children made the snowmen in the garden and Gulliver the king and professor Verity played with snowballs with children and Lilliputians. It was the most beautiful night in their life.

Nutsa’s New Year’s Eve

2022 I spent a special time in a new environment in Kakheti hotel Savaneti. My father made me a surprise as I have a birthday on December 31st. There were a lot of people, my parent’s friends with their families. I was very happy. We were dancing, singing and we spent a very good time. When there were 5 minutes left before the New Year, my mother entered the hall with my birthday cake. The cake was super nice with 10 candles. I put out the candles on the cake in front of all guests and at the same time there were the sounds of fireworks from outside. Everybody was wishing me a happy birthday and a happy New Year too. It was super funny for me. I was so proud and thankful for my parents that they organized 10th birthday by this way. It was unforgettable. By 2022 I plan to study well, and also want to take a swimming class to improve my swimming. If I have time, I will take a drawing class too.
