1: Rialacha na scoile Flashcards
It was the first of September and a new year was starting
an chéad lá mí Meán Fómhair a bhí ann agus bhí bilan nua ag tosnú
There was an assembly arranged for that morning in the sports hall and every student was there from first year to the leaving cert year
Bhí tionóil socruithe don mhaidin sin ar a nasi a chloor i Halla an spóirt agus bhí gach dalta an ón gcéad bhliain go dtí bliain na h-airdteiste i láithir
Every one was chit chatting but when the principal walked up onto the stage there was a deadly silence
Bhí chuile dhuine ag giob geab lena gcéile ach nuair a shúil an príomhoide suas ar an stáatse bhí tost marfach ann
She gave a great welcome to everybody and especially to the new students
Choir sí fáilte Uí Cheallaigh roimh chuile dhuine agus go h-áirithe roimh na dáltaí nua
and then she said to them that she wanted to spend a few minutes going back on the school rules and explain each one
agus ansin dúirt sí leo go raibh sé ar intinn aici cúpla nóiméad a chaitheamh ag dul siar ar rialacha na sociale agus ag míniú gach ceann díobh
She read from a long list in her hand
Léigh sí amach ó liosta fada a bhí ina lámh aici
¨ She asked them to create a good atmosphere in the school
D’iarr sí orthu atmaisféar maith a chruthú sa scoil
¨ there was a total ban on every drug, alcohol and smoking
bhí cosc iomlán ar gach saghas druga, alcól agus tobac
¨ nobody could chew chewing gum either
ní raibh cead ag éinne guma a chogaint ach an oiread
If anyone were to break any of those rules they would be put under a certain punishment
Dá mbrisfeadh aon duine aon ceann de na rialacha siúd, ghearrfadh sí pionós áirithe orthu
But she hope that that they would have fun and enjoy that year and that every student will do well in the leaving cert at the end of the year
Ach bhí súil aici go mbainfidis spraoi agus sult as an mbliain sin agus go n-éireodh le gach scoilaire san airdeist ag deireadh na bliana
As long as she was speaking there were one or tow at the back of the hall messing with each other paying no attention to what she was saying
Fad is a bhí sí ag caint bhí duine nó beirt ar chúl an halla ag pleidhcíocht lena chéile gan bacadh lena raibh á rá aici
When the classes were finished that day there was a football match organised
nuair a bhí na ranganna that an lá sin bhí cliche pile agraithe idiot na buachaillí sa séú agus cúigiú bhliain
For a short time everything was ok until one of the boys became rebellious and started to fight with an other boy out on the playing field
ar feadh tamaill big bhí gach rud ceart go leor go dtí gur éirigh buachaill amháin trodach agus gur thosaigh sé ag troid le buachaill eile amuigh ar an bpáirc imeartha
while the two were fighting with each other there were two girls smoking in the yard
fas is a bhí an bheirt ag troid lena chéile bhí beirt chailín ag caitheamh tobac sa chlós!
Did they forget the rules of the school - those rules that they heard only a couple of hours before?
An raibh rialacha na scoile dearmadta acu - na rialacha nár chuala siad ach cúpla uaire roimhe?
Mr. Ryan came out and he gave out to the two boys
Tháining an t-Uasal Ó Riain amach agus thug sé íde béil don bheirt ghasúr
He reminded them of one of the rules that morning - to be mannerly and to create a good atmosphere
Chuir sé i gcuimhne dóibh ceann de na rialacha an mhaidin sin - chun a bheith béasach agus chun atmaisféar maith a chruthú
While he was talking to them, the principal was doing the same thing with the two girls about the ban on smoking
Fad is a bhí sé ag caint leo bhí an príomhoide ag déanamh an ruda chéanna leis an bheirt chailín faoi chosc ar thabac
She didn’t understand why they smoked. Didn’t everyone know that it did harm to their health, never mind the amount of money they wasted everyday?
Níor thuig sí con fáth gur chaith siad tobac. Nach raibh a fhios ag chuile dhuine go ndearna sé dochar don tsláinte gan bacadh leis an méid airgid a chuir siad amú chuile lá?
She was fuming when she was talking to them and there was an edge to her voice. She wanted to call their parents herself and to have a meeting with them the day after
Bhí sí ar mire nuair a bhí sí ag caint leo agus bhí sé ar intinn aici glaoch a chuir ar a dtuistí freisin agus chun cruinniú a bheith aici leo an lá dár gcionn
When the school day was over there was a big problem waiting for them at home
nuair a bhí an lá sociale taart bhí fadhb mhór ag fánacht leo sa bhaile
Every Mother and Father was very angry because they had had to meet with the principle the morning after and according to them it was a waste of time
Bhí gach athair is máithir ar buile toisc go raibh orthu bualad leis an bpríomhoide an mhaidin ina dhiaidh sin agus dar leo am amú a bhí ann
Early the next morning off they went to meet with the principal
go luath an maidin dár gcionn as go brach leo go lair chun bualadh leis an bpríomhoide
