Mary Poppins:
Some people laugh through their noses
Sounding something like this "Mmm..."
Some people laugh through their teeth goodness sake
Hissing and fizzing like snakes

Some laugh too fast
Some only blast - ha!
Others, they twitter like birds
Then there's the kind
What can't make up their mind

How to mark the European day of Languages ?
Hello, friends!
Do you know that 26 September is proclaimed as the European day of Languages?
My colleagues and our pupils like
this holiday. It gives us the opportunity to recognize ourselves as the members
of the great European community, and it is very important for people living in a
small provincial town.
Certainly, it wouldn’t be possible without the help of highly- qualified
teachers of our Foreign Languages
Teachers’ Union.
Have you got any traditions of
celebrating this Day in your school or city? Can you share your ideas with me
and other readers?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Irina

If Friendship were a cake, which ingredients would it have?
The Cake Of Friendship
Michelle Flores
Preheat the oven of love
With plenty of secrets and hugs
Mix in giggles and laughs
That make your sides split in half
Bake with the love and care
And all the things you both should share
Decorate with the frosting of trust
This is really a must
Enjoy the cake do not eat it fast
Just like your new friendship make it last.
What ingridients would you add , friends?
Note
a must - something that you definitely need in a particular situation
Good binoculars are a must for any serious birdwatcher.вторник, 3 сентября 2013 г.

Reading ? For what?
Reading the world in 196 books
Writer Ann Morgan set herself a challenge – to read a book from every country in the world in one year. She describes the experience and what she learned.
I used to think of myself as a fairly cosmopolitan sort of person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and the odd Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever tackled anything in translation. My reading was confined to stories by English-speaking authors.

The rules of behaviour for ladies and gentlemen
Dear Friends!
Today I'd like you to read the extract from Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers (Chapter Five The Dancing Cow)
It's one of my favourite books which is full of wise thoughts and curious situation. And this one - when you have to choose between the comfort of your well-settled life and exciting but unsure future - is typical nowadays, isn't it?
What would you prefer: to continue living the respectable but boring life or start something new? Please, leave your comments here!

The Red Cow — that’s the name she went by.
And very important and prosperous she was, too (so my Mother said). She
lived in the best field in the whole district — a large one full of
buttercups the size of saucers and dandelions standing up in it like
soldiers. Every time she ate the head off one soldier, another grew up
in its place, with a green military coat and a yellow busby.
She had lived there always — she often told
my Mother that she couldn’t remember the time when she hadn’t lived in
that field. Her world was bounded by green hedges and the sky and she
knew nothing of what lay beyond these.
The Red Cow was very respectable, she always
behaved like a perfect lady and she knew What was What. To her a thing
was either black or white—there was nothing in between. Dandelions were
either sweet or sour—there were never any moderately nice ones.
She led a very busy life. Her mornings were
taken up in giving lessons to the Red Calf, her daughter, and in the
afternoon she taught the little one deportment and mooing and all the
things a really well brought up calf should know. Then they had their
supper, and the Red Cow showed the Red Calf how to select a good blade
of grass from a bad one; and when her child had gone to sleep at night
she would go into a corner of the field and chew the cud and think her
own quiet thoughts.
All her days were exactly the same. One Red
Calf grew up and went away and another came in its place. And it was
natural that the Red Cow should imagine that her life would always be
the same as it had always been—indeed, she felt that she could ask for
nothing better than for all her days to be alike till she came to the
end of them.
But at the very moment she was thinking
these thoughts, adventure, as she afterwards told my Mother, was
stalking her. It came upon her one night when the stars themselves
looked like dandelions in the sky and the moon a great daisy among the
stars.
On this night, long after the Red Calf was
asleep, the Red Cow stood up suddenly and began to dance.
She danced
wildly and beautifully and in perfect time, though she had no music to
go by. Sometimes it was a polka, sometimes a Highland Fling and
sometimes a special dance that she made up out of her own head. And in
between these dances she would curtsey and make sweeping bows and knock
her head against the dandelions.
“Dear me!” said the Red Cow to herself, as
she began on a Sailor’s Hornpipe. “What an extraordinary thing! I always
thought dancing improper, but it can’t be since I myself am dancing.
For I am a model cow.”

I didn't go camping.
I didn't go hiking.
I didn't go fishing.
I didn't go biking.
I didn't go play
on the slides at the park.
I didn't watch shooting stars
way after dark.
I didn't play baseball
or soccer outside.
I didn't go on an
amusement park ride.
I didn't throw Frisbees.
I didn't fly kites,
or have any travels,
or see any sights.
I didn't watch movies
with blockbuster crowds,
or lay on the front lawn
and look at the clouds.
I didn't go swimming
at pools or beaches,
or visit an orchard
and pick a few peaches.
I didn't become
a guitarist or drummer,
but, boy, I played plenty
of Minecraft this summer.

My picture story : Prague
Oh Prague!
People from everywhere come here to admire the majestic beauty of this city! You can hear different languages around.
This is a modern city with the medieval spirit filled its narrow streets and lanes! The houses, towers, bridges, castles, squares are terrific and inspirational! A guide will tell you a lot of horror stories from the past and then add that at night it is possible to meet some ghosts in the streets of Prague!
Every hour a big crowd gathers in front of the Prague Astronomical Clock ,called Orloy, to watch the short show of apostles passing above the heads that has been performing here since 1410.
