Last month I had a rest in Australia with my parents, my sister and my dog. It was very interesting and funny to observe the land under the hot sun. We spent a lot of time out-of-doors. While my parents were getting used to the cli-mate, I was walking along the sandy beaches with my dog. Once I couldn’t find my dog for a long time. All the family went searching it. This sad case made us friendlier. In the evening we found our dog. We were very glad!

    This trip was very useful for us, because we spent a lot of time together. Then after three months’ period our dog gave birth to five small dingo-puppies. They were wh ... Читать дальше »

THE PUPILS OF GYMNASIA No2 ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR RELATIVES:

 

 

 -I’ve got a great-grandmother. Her name’s Valentina Lavrentyevna Kozlovskaya. She lives in the village of Luchniki in Slutsk district. She was born on the 27th of December 1929. She worked as a cook for 36 years and makes very tasty things.

 

THE PUPILS OF GYMNASIA NO2 ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR RELATIVES:

- My great-grandfather Pyotr Zakharovich Golubuvich served in the army as a radio operator in the rank of a captain. Some day he and his brothers-in-arms attacked a military entrenchment of the enemy and captured two fascist soldiers who knew all the necessary information about their unit: the number of soldiers, their location, armament, aims. This information helped to fortify the Soviet Army defensive line.

After a while, having successfully accomplished several tasks, my great-grandfather was promoted to a rank of a major and was appointed to serve in the headquarters. But before going there he went to the forest and found those two Germans ... Читать дальше »

Valeriya Krivaltsevich (Form 3 G):

-My great-grandfather Pavel Ivanovich Krivaltsevich was 23 when the war began. He left his wife and children and joined partisans. He was not far from his village but visited his family only several times because the struggle against the fascists was very hard at that time. Those families who helped partisans could be shot. The partisan detachment where my great-grandfather struggled defended the settlements of Skovshin, Ossovo, Zabrodye, Pissarevichi.

In 1942 twelve partisans, including my great-grandfather, were captured. They were brought to the fascists’ chief commandant’s office in Starobin. After being in prison for several days, they decided to run away. Only two of them managed t ... Читать дальше »

I ask myself about it every day!

I can’t say that it is exactly what I’ve dreamed of the whole life.
But it just happened! And you know I’m happy!
It’s not a surprise for me rather a logical ending.
Since my childhood I’ve been among children of different ages. I feel at ease with children. I am one of them.

You still want to know the reasons? Here we are:

T - 1. Teach. If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught.

E - 2. Enrich. By enriching children with knowledge I’ll definitely enrich me with a lot of interesting things and facts. It’s kind of the so called "healthy egoism”.

THE PUPILS OF GYMNASIA N 2 ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR RELATIVES:

Dmitriy Leshchuk (Form 3 V):

- My great-grandfather Anton Antonovich Matkovich was quite a young guy when the war started. He was 17. He was a signalman. He reached Berlin. He was awarded the medals for his bravery. One of these medals found him after his death.

- My great-grandmother Valentina Vlasovna Matkovich was caught and brought by fascists to the concentration camp in Germany. Being in prison badly affected her health. She died at the age of 62 years. I am proud of my great-grandparents.

1. The heart is on the left side of the body.

 

2. Hundreds of years ago, soldiers fought with swords.

 

3. They used shields to protect their hearts. The shields were naturally held in the left hand.

 

4. The sword was therefore held in the right hand.

 

5. It was therefore natural to put the sword away on the left side of the body.

 

6. If you have a sword hanging down on the left, which side do you get on a horse from? Not from the horse's right.

 

7. You get on from the horse's left.

 

8. If you are getting on to a horse from its left, which side of the road do ... Читать дальше »

I will describe a famous picture by Edward Munch "The Scream”. This picture belongs to the style called Expressionism. The fact is, the space of the picture is divided asymmetrically. A strange person with an unusual face is domineering in the centre of the picture. We can see a person and a bridge in the foreground. The person is walking along the bridge. And it is evidently, he doesn’t know where he is going. He is walking without any thinking. He is going somewhere, where his fortune will bring him.

 

In the background ther ... Читать дальше »

 

Night, and I don’t sleep.
I see white snow,
And about love I think.
Love will come I know.
You will love me I believe,
And will kiss me sweetly
And won’t be ever need to leave
And we’ll be together quickly.

I love you strongly,
Because you are very kind.
I love you tenderly
and I HAVE LOST MY MIND
I love you beautifully,
Because you walk with me.
I love you wrongfully,
Because you don’t love me.

I like warm spring
It’s very beautiful and green.
I like cold autumn
All children are always dirty.
I like frosty winter,
Because it’s very white.
I like hot summer,
Because ... Читать дальше »

I can’t run anymore
The shadows everywhere
Don’t leave me alone
Help me, I’m here

I’m living for you
I’m breathing for you
I won’t escape
From this my true
I’m living for you
I’m breathing for you
I swear, I will love you
Forevermore too

I will fight for life
And I won’t cry
I won’t scream anymore
But only smile

I’m living for you
I’m breathing for you
And every day
I’ll give my smile to you
But I can’t take it anymore
They are gaining on me
You still don’t come
And don’t save me
I’m…

I’m living for you
I’m breathing for you
I believe you will come
I need for you

I’m living for you
I’m breathing for you
I believe you will come
And only you

 

This summer I spent in a special way. I visited very beautiful city—Grodno. I visited my uncle. He drove me to the zoo. It was very interesting there. I saw many different and interesting animals, such as : a peacock, an ostrich, a camel, a polar bear, a flamingo, different breeds of the parrots, also different snakes, different kinds of fish.

 

At once I payed my attention to the nearest animal in an open air cages. It was a flamingo. I liked its coloring, and I thought of its feathers, and while the visitors gaped at the flamingo. I pushed silently a hand in to an open-air cage and hulled its feather sharply. I did not know that a flamingo is able to shout so loudly. I thought the whole zo ... Читать дальше »

 

If I were a headmaster I would change the work of the teachers and pupils. I would do more parties at school. I would let pupils use free uniform.

 

What concerns home tasks, I would give them only once a week. I would like to change the duration of the holidays. I wish it were nine months, not three.

 

I would give presents to teachers and pupils every day. I would give money pupils for perfect study. I would give flowers teachers every day. I would participate in competitions, different concerts.

 

I would do the lessons shorter. I think they should last for 20 minutes and the breaks should last for 25 minutes.

 

I would build a shop in the center of the school.

 

I would abolish working a lot. 

 

To begin with, I would like to tell you, that I want to be a headmaster. Of course, I understand that it’s very difficult to be in charge of a school, because you are responsible for everything that takes place in it.

 

The fact is, there are advantages and disadvantages in school process organization. And from the point of view of a pupil, the pluses and minuses are the following.

 

As for me, I would like to change our timetable. To my mind, we have too many lessons every day. We get home too late and that’s why we have no free time to rest and prepare homework for the next day.

 

Another problem I would like to talk about is the system of organization of our optio ... Читать дальше »
