write about everything for everybody” , “no
frames and edges”.
If you are an excellent student and want to learn more about
English-speaking countries, famous people and our school life, we look

Atmosphere of British Holidays
What is the life iffullofcare,
We have notime to stand and stare.
The life of a modern man is full of everyday routine. It`s not easy: we work,
study, solve different problems, but besides weekdays we have such nice things as
holidays and weekends. Many schoolchildren think that these periods are the best
in their school life.
Our working days do not differ much from those of any other pupils of the
country. But once Berfie Forbs said:”Work is the meat of life, pleasure is the
desert.” So we try our students to have as much of this “desert” as possible. As
everybody knows much enough about Belarusian holidays we try to hold American
and British ones to learn more about their lifestyle, customs and traditions.
So, in order to learn the feelings and emotions our students have when
holding and preparing for the holidays at our school we just interviewed some of
them.

Did you know that…
 The first Jack O’Lanterns were actually made from turnips.
 The owl is a popular Halloween image. In Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be
witches, and to hear an owl's call meant someone was about to die.
 According to Irish legend, Jack O’Lanterns are named after a stingy man named
Jack who, because he tricked the devil several times, was forbidden entrance into
both heaven and hell. He was condemned to wander the Earth, waving his lantern to
lead people away from their paths.
 Trick-or-treating evolved from the ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats
and food to placate spirits who roamed the streets at Samhain, a sacred festival
that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year.

What Spring us Bring
St. David's Day
St David is the patron saint of Wales. March 1 is a day of
celebration of both St David’s life and of the Welsh culture in
Wales. Many people attend special church services, parades,
choral recitals or Welsh literature readings.
Children, particularly girls, and some adults wear traditional
costume. Other people may pin a daffodil or a leek to their
clothes as these are symbols of Wales. The traditional meal on
St David's Day is cawl. This is a soup that is made of leek and
other locally grown produce.
– April fool`s Day
April 1 is a day for practical jokes in many countries around the
world. The simplest jokes may involve children who tell each
other that their shoelaces are undone and then cry out “April
Fool!” when the victims glance at their feet. Some April Fool's
jokes publicized in the media include:
In 2002, British supermarket chain Tesco published an
advertisement in The Sun, announcing a genetically modified
'whistling carrot'. The ad explained that the carrots were
engineered to grow with tapered air holes in their side. When
fully cooked, these holes would cause the carrot to whistle.
- Queen`s Birthday
The Queen celebrates two birthdays
each year: her actual birthday on 21
April and her official birthday on a
Saturday in June.
The Queen usually spends her actual
birthday privately, but the occasion is
marked publicly by gun salutes in
central London at midday: a 41 gun
salute in Hyde Park, a 21 gun salute in
Windsor Great Park and a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London. In 2006, Her Majesty
celebrated her 80th Birthday in 2006 with a walkabout in the streets outside of Windsor Castle to
meet well-wishers.
- Walpurgis Night
In the British Isles the 30th
April is known as Beltane, and
shares similar traits with their European neighbours such as
celebrating fire and the coming of Spring. Dracula has a
number of links with Walpurgis night. So if you miss your
Halloween spookiness and horror, then why not take part in the
Walpurgis Night festivals and light a bonfire, crown a Queen
and then dance around a pole! Or you could just sit at home
and watch “The Wicker Man”.

School life
Join Green Movement March 17
Though history saw celebrations of feasts in his
honor, St. Patrick's Day was not officially recognized
until 1976. Saint Patrick has been credited with
bringing Christianity to Ireland. There seem to be
multiple origin stories for St. Patrick's Day, but:
 Most sources agree that St. Patrick's actual name
was Maewyn Succat. They also agree that Maewyn
was kidnapped and sold into slavery at age 16 and, to
help him endure his enslavement, he turned to God.
Six years after his captivity began, St. Patrick
escaped from slavery to France, where he became a
priest, and then the second Bishop to Ireland. He spent the next 30 years establishing
schools, churches, and monasteries across the country. He brought Christianity
widespread acceptance amongst the pagan indigenous peoples.
It is thought that St. Patrick used a shamrock as a metaphor for the Trinity
(Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), showing how three individual units could be part of the
same body. His parishioners began wearing shamrocks to his church services. Today, "the
wearing of the green" on St. Patrick's Day represents spring, shamrocks, and Ireland.
The date of St. Patrick's death is still up for discussion. Some say that he died on
March 17th, 461 AD. Another possibility is either March 8th or 9th - the days were added
together to get March 17th. What is certain is that the holiday came to America in 1737,
and was celebrated in Boston that year.
You don't have to wear a sweater with a giant shamrock on it.(Though that
would certainly help you stand out.)

8. 8
School life
The great thing about this holiday is you are free to go as subtle or as wild as you
like. St. Patrick's Day t-shirts have been a common article of clothing to wear proudly.
Consider the following suggestions when picking out something to wear (see related
Warnings below regarding what to wear):
 An all green t-shirt
 Funny St. Patrick's Day-related sayings (for example, "Kiss me, I'm Irish!")
 A t-shirt screen-printed with Irish beer monikers such as Harp or Guinness
 Green-striped polo or collared shirt (for you professionals out there)
 Leprechaun costume or your own creation for those who are feeling particularly festive.
 It is a tradition in Ireland for all attending parades and generally celebrating to wear a
small collection of Shamrock fastened by a clothes pin to your top (in the same place as a
badge would be worn).
.
 Traditional Irish foods include bangers and mash, colcannon, corned beef and cabbage,
stew, boxty, a Belfast breakfast and praties-potatoes.
 In Ireland, the day is usually celebrated by eating food such as pink bacon or savory roast
chicken. Corned beef and cabbage is from American tradition.
.Ireland has a long history with music, and many incredible
styles have emerged. Celtic, folk and traditional Irish pub songs might just get you in the
St. Patrick's Day spirit!
Not only will it impress everyone you know, but it's also a fun way to increase flexibility
and burn calories!

Her Majesty the Queen
A Day in the Life of
the Queen
The Queen is Head of State of the UK and 15 other
Commonwealth realms. The elder daughter of King George
VI and Queen Elizabeth, she was born in 1926 and
became Queen at the age of 25, and has reigned through
more than five decades of enormous social change and
development. The Queen is married to Prince Philip, Duke
of Edinburgh and has four children and eight
grandchildren.
The Queen has many different duties to perform every
day.
Some are public duties, such as ceremonies,
receptions and visits within the United Kingdom or
abroad.
Other duties are carried out away from the
cameras, but they are no less important. These include
reading letters from the public, official papers and
briefing notes; audiences with political ministers or
ambassadors; and meetings with her Private Secretaries
to discuss daily business and her future diary plans.
Even when she is away from London, in residence at Balmoral or Sandringham, she
receives official papers nearly every day of every year and remains fully briefed on matters
affecting her realms.
The Queen's working day begins like many people's - at her desk.
The Queen's working day begins like many people's - at her desk. After scanning the daily
British newspapers, The Queen reviews her correspondence. The Queen will then see,
separately, two of her Private Secretaries with the daily quota of official papers and documents.
This process takes upwards of an hour.
In front of the camera or away
from it, The Queen's duties go
on, and no two days in her life
are ever the same
MORNING

10. 10
Every day, 200-300 letters
from the public arrive. The
Queen chooses a selection to
read herself and tells members
of her stuff how she would
like them to be answered…
The Queen carries
out around 430
engagements a
year, to meet
people, open events
and buildings,
unveil plaques and
make speeches.
Unknown about Well-known
Every day of every year, wherever she is, The Queen receives from government ministers
information in the form of policy papers, Cabinet documents, telegrams, letters and other State
papers.
These are sent up to her by the Private Secretaries in the famous
'red boxes'. All of these papers have to be read and, where
necessary, approved and signed.
A series of official meetings or 'audiences' will often
follow. The Queen will see a number of important people.
These include overseas ambassadors, newly appointed British
ambassadors, senior members of the British and
Commonwealth Armed Forces on their appointment and
retirement, and English bishops and judges on their
appointment.
Each meeting usually lasts 10 to 20 minutes, and usually The
Queen and her visitor meet alone.
The Queen may also meet a number of people who have won prizes or awards in a
variety of fields such as literature or science, to present them individually with their prize.
In the afternoons, The Queen often goes out on public engagements. Such visits require
meticulous planning beforehand to meet the hosts' requirements. And The Queen prepares for
each visit by briefing herself on whom she will be meeting and what she will be seeing and
doing.
Royal engagements are carefully selected by The
Queen from a large number of invitations sent to her each
year, often by the Lord-Lieutenants (The Queen's
representatives in counties throughout the United
Kingdom).
This helps to ensure the widest possible spread and
to make effective use of The Queen's time.If the
engagement is outside London, her journeys are often by
air using a helicopter or an RAF aircraft.
Such engagements can include visits to schools,
hospitals, factories, military units, art galleries, sheltered
accommodation for elderly people, hostels for the
homeless, local community schemes in inner city areas,
and other British and Commonwealth organisations.
The Queen regularly goes out for the whole day to a particular region or city. If the visit
is a busy one, or if it lasts more than a day, then The Queen will travel overnight on the Royal
Train.
The Duke of Edinburgh will often accompany The Queen on such visits.
AFTERNOON

11. 11
Unknown about Well-known
The Queen's working day does not stop at the end of the afternoon.
Early evening may see a meeting with the Prime Minister. The Queen has a weekly meeting
alone with the Prime Minister, when they are both in London.
This usually takes place on Wednesdays at 6.30 pm. No written record is made of such
meetings. At about 7.30 pm a report of the day's parliamentary proceedings, written by one of the
Government's Whips, arrives. The Queen always reads this the same evening.
On some evenings, The Queen may attend a film première, a variety of concert
performances in aid of a charitable cause, or a reception linked to organisations of which she is
Patron. The Queen also regularly hosts official receptions at
Buckingham Palace (usually with other members of the Royal
Family).
The Queen has numerous private interests, which can
coincide with her public work, to complete her working day.
Her Majesty also attends the Derby and the Summer Race
Meeting at Ascot, a Royal occasion.
As owner of private estates at Balmoral and
Sandringham, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh oversee
the management of the estates which are run on a commercial
basis. She takes a close interest in all aspects of estate life, particularly in the tenant farmers and
employees who live and work on the estates.
Through her public and private work, The Queen is well-briefed and well-known. She has
met many more people from all walks of life both in this country and overseas than her
predecessors. This takes time and effort. Often, one of the last lights on in the Palace at night is
The Queen finishing her 'red box' of official papers.
“I have to be seen to be believed”
“The British constitution has always been puzzling and
always will be.”
Queen Elisabeth II
EVENING
As a keen owner and
breeder of racehorses,
she sees her horses run
at the other meetings.

Blues
Born in the Civil War-era Mississippi Delta, blues music was
heavily influenced by spirituals, ballads, field hollers
and other forms of earlier African-American music.
The blues gained great popularity in the 1940s with
the rise of Chicago blues legends Muddy Waters and
John Lee Hooker, among others.
The lyrics of blues music are often about
loss and regret, but can also be about overcoming
hard luck, triumphing or just expressing innermost
emotions. Usually played in a 12-bar cycle, the blues
also has its own distinct musical scale.

Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond

Charlie is attempting to navigate
through the uncharted territory of

and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The
world of drugs, and music - when all one requires to feel

“The Perks of Being a
Wallflower” is a 2012
American coming-of-
age comedy-drama and
is a film adaptation of
the 1999 epistolary novel
of the same name. The
film was directed by the
novel's author, Stephen

in Pittsburgh, Pennsylva
nia, the film was released
on September 21, 2012
to positive critical
response and commercial
success earning $33

"Children of Heaven''
is very nearly a perfect
movie for children, and
of course that means
adults will like it, too. It
lacks the cynicism and
smart-mouth attitudes of
so much American
entertainment for kids
and glows with a kind of
good-hearted purity. To
see this movie is to be
reminded of a time when
the children in movies
were children and not

Preparing for School Exam
Here wesuggest you reading a text with questions
below and examples of answers attached. It will be
useful for you to prepare for the schoolexam in
English.
I was either ten or eleven when I wrote my first song. I
don't remember. My mum was struggling financially and
emotionally, so I didn't talk a lot. Finally, she told me if I
couldn't talk about what was bothering me, I should write
about it. So she gave me a notebook, and my poems turned into lyrics.
I grew up in a very hardworking family. But we didn't have lots of money. I was the kid
whom friends' parents bought Christmas presents for. One year, though, when I was in the sixth
grade, my mom got a bonus at work, and instead of paying off bills, she bought me a CD player
and four CDs. I eventually got several college music scholarships but passed on them to move to
Los Angeles in 2001. Everyone thought I was crazy to do it, but I moved to California anyway
and got work singing backup. A friend and I lived in a house with some other people, and we
finally saved enough money to get our own place. The day we moved into our apartment, the
building burned down. I stayed in my car for a few days so I could get enough money to drive
back to Texas. When I got home, a friend told me about the American Idol audition in Dallas.
Looking back on the show, I find it strange going back and performing on Idol last
spring. Everyone was always supportive and nice. But I think they were so nice because no one
thought I was going to win. Members of the crew came up to me after the finale and told me they
didn't think I could have won. I recently gave a self-esteem workshop for Girl Scouts in
Nashville, and I told the girls that I wasn't a role model for my weight. Sometimes I'm thicker
when I'm around my family and I'm eating more. Sometimes I'm thinner because I'm on the road
and that takes a lot out of me. But I do feel it's important to talk to girls about weight. They see
these images, and there's no way they'll ever live up to them.
Everyone says I'm down-to-earth. It would be very hard for me to keep up any sort of
celebrity persona. It's just not me. I'm comfortable in my skin. I'm outspoken. I don't know any
other way to be.

Revising Tenses
Tense is one aspect of English grammar that often leaves us confused. Tenses can be
broadly categorised into past, present, and future in connection with a situation, action or state. It
is with tenses that many errors are committed.
Being weak in grammar poses a great challenge to our language, especially while writing.
This often becomes a major handicap, and, can also be a blow to your self-confidence and
esteem. Here we offer you a brief scheme of tenses to remember:
Practicing:
Open the brackets using correct tense form:
The world (to get) ____ warmer and warmer nowadays. Why (to happen)____? One
answer is that it could simply be part of a natural process. After all, there (to be) ____ ice age
and long periods of warmth in the past and now we (to experience) ____ another warming trend.
This kind of answer (to have)____ more supporters a few years ago. What scientists now (to

not know how difficult it is to compete and finally win. Please, tell some words about
your preparation for this occasion.
- At first I learnt by heart all topics. Then I read a lot of English texts and I repeated
grammar rules, which I had already known. I did many exercises and I was often listening
to English speech. And it was important that I did not only learn English but had a rest
too.
- Who helped you to win?
-My teacher helped me. She helped me to write topics. My mum helped me too. She told
me: «Don’t forget to have a rest!».
- Do your skills in English help you in usual life?
-This summer I am visiting my aunt in America. It was easy for me to speak with
Americans. It was very interesting to talk to the
people whose native language is English.
- Thank you for the interview! I wish you new
