Learning foreign languages is very important nowadays. English is without a doubt the actual universal language. It is the world’s second largest native language, the official language in 70 countries. And every well-educated person speaks English, because it is the language of international communication in many areas of life.

The aim of this week was to teach pupils to love, to enjoy and to explore English. Both teachers and pupils tried to create lively English atmosphere at the gymnasia. In order to enhance pupil's interests in learning English, different marvelous and interesting activities were held during the week. On Monday – project works. Pupils prepared posters and newspapers about their school life. They wrote articles about their hobbies, travelling, free time, favourite books, fashion, eating habits, music tastes, school traditions and a lot of other interesting information about their school and after school activities. Planty of different photos confirmed all written information. It was really worth seeing.
On Tuesday welcome to the world of German. On that day the 6th-A and their German teacher invited English teachers to their lesson. They spoke about their household duties in German. The pupils had a lot of work to do. They read, wrote, played, watched video and discussed it, role played funny situations and what not. The teacher and the pupils were really great. And one more thing – brainstorming. Any lesson could be interrupted for two or three minutes. Children were asked questions in German. It was difficult, but they did it! HOORAY!!!
