English language consists of a small number of most common words, a large number of the so-called intermediate words, which are less common and an enormous amount of rare words. The study by Oxford University shows that you need to know 100 words to understand 50% of everything native speakers say and write (except for specialized and scientific literature). This course consists of 3 blocks 5 lessons each (nouns, verbs and adjectives). On each lesson we study 20 most common words and one grammatical topic. Next lesson is on Friday, December 8 at 7 p.m. If you would like to know more about the course or missed the first lesson, then watch video about the course here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nsFKJlB5PM...

Topic: Guilty pleasure Prepare a 5-minute story about the habit, which causes in you both joy and desire to keep quiet. Maybe it's Britney Spears' first hits record?

Small weaknesses break into our lives when we are tired, when we just want to relax and do nothing.

According to Russian – American poet and essayist Joseph Brodsky, poetry is the highest form of locution and more than any other art, poetry is a form of sentimental education. He states that ‘at certain periods of history it is only poetry that is capable of dealing with reality by condensing it into something graspable, something that otherwise couldn’t be retained by the mind’. Brodsky believes that ‘any poem, regardless of its subject – is in itself an act of love, not so much of an author for his subject as of language for a piece of reality’.

You have to prepare 3-5 minute story about people who have influenced you during your lifetime. Maybe it’s your mother, who have taught you to tell only truth or your wrestling coach who have made you believe in yourself and helped you to take the first prize. Sworn enemy, passing stranger, little brother or your dog – tell the story about somebody, who have made you who you are. Why tell stories? Stories have gathered humans by a crackling fire for thousands of years. Some would teach to milk a wild cow, some encourage to discover new territory, some convince to make friends with a neighboring tribe. The reason story lurks around people for so long is that it moves us. Today as from beginning of humans it is a tool with high demand. Steve Jobs said the most powerful person in the world is a storyteller. Come to grow your storytelling skill at our weekly club with Ekaterina Tkach. The meeting is on Monday, November 27 at 7 p.m.
