Humour Collection-2010

The students of Groups 32-E and 33-E contributed their jokes and anecdotes long ago. The collection had been waiting for the right time for months until it finally was published in the Hyde Park bulletin in the last days of March. I really enjoyed supervising the project. If you are to lazy to come to the bulletin, you can enjoy reading our collection right HERE . I personally like this photo very much.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Again.

Halliluyah! The 17th of March has come again. Again EVERYBODY IS IRISH ON ST.PATRICK'S DAY! When I think about the Irish , I feel that we, Ukrainians, and they have quite a lot in common. Of course, it's only one of the reasons why I like the holiday. I'd like to share some Irish wit with you.

An Irishman's Philosophy:

In life, there are only two things to worry about: Either you are well or you are sick. If you are well, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about: Either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you die, there are only two things to worry about: Either you will go to heaven or hell. If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

And if you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends that you won’t have time to worry!

ZANDARO-2010: Humanitarian Aid Project

"There is a country in a tropical region which is suffering virtually all imaginable problems. The name of the country is ZANDARO, with the capital city of Zangora..." These words begin the presentation of project work done by the students of Group 33-E on planning some humanitarian aid to an imaginary country. It goes with Module 8 of New Opportunities Upper Intermediate Coursebook (with "Old" Opportunities it also went well). The project was done last year by the students of Group 43-E, but, unfortunately, they were not able to present it in public. This year we have renovated the whole thing developing their ideas. You can read the project materials by clicking on the following:

Presidents' Day

Two great Americans were born in February: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. That is why the third Monday of this month (which is today) has been made a special day to commemorate their achievements. Anna Samar of Group 24-H has submitted an article about the holiday to the HYDE PARK. You can also read it HERE .

The Most Romantic Day

Hope you all have a sweet St. Valentine's Day! Ilona Chaikovska of Group 24-H has submitted an article to the HYDE PARK, which tells a lot about this holiday. If you haven't seen it in the bulletin you may read it HERE .

Love and kisses!

Martin Luther King Jr. - a person who changed the world

On January 18 this year many people around the world marked MARTIN LUTHER KING's DAY. He did not manage to live a long life and was assasinated when he was just 39, but the world has never been the same since then. Martin Luther King = civil rights. Even his death contributed to the issue. HELEN SKRYPKA of Group 24-H has prepared a report about this outstanding personality. It can be found in the Hyde Park and HERE .
