English Club

FOURTH TIME IN  ENGLISH CLUB It was my fourth time in English speaking club. Today’s main topic was food. Honestly, it was challenging to speak about it when you hungry. Our firsts exercises were to make an advert for our strange drink which contains salo and other unusual ingredients. We made up a story about Cossacks, and I suppose it sounded quite good. All descriptions were exciting and had original names like “bee” or “pilot on a high,” etc. After that, we had to tell the recipe of different dishes. Ours was borsch. I was amazed that boys know how to cook it better than girls. But it was funny and very cognitively. Albina Chasnyk On the fourth time of my English club meeting, I felt a little bit tired. I had two tests on that day, and my mood was not perfect — but in a few minutes, the situation changed completely. Johnny came up with a new, exciting, and unbelievably simple theme of our class - food. I think all of us love food, so the idea was just perfect. We ...

THIRD TIME IN ENGLISH CLUB It was my third time on the English speaking club. But this time it was with Christopher who is very funny, witty and easily can ask you awkward questions. The experience I got there is excellent. There were a relaxed atmosphere and a laugh in the class all the time. I have met a lot of new people from different programs. And it was the best part of this lesson because we speak a lot with each other. Actually, we discuss dog and cats, compulsory navy learning, beaches, and even planning of funerals. It was interesting to speak about things you have never thought about before. Albina Chasnyk The third English club was a small surprise for me. I came up with a decision to try something new in my life - change the English club teacher. My mark for Christopher is 5 points from 6. Our time spending there was almost perfect, almost. So that time, we concentrated not only speaking fluently but also communicating with each other and expressing our thoughts. C...

SECOND  TIME IN ENGLISH CLUB It was my second time in Johnny’s English speaking club. The topic of this club was “ Cockney.” It was exciting because I have never heard of it, so it was new to me. Cockney means like you have to make up collocation for one word with rhythm and use it instead. For, example “bride= fat and wide or mother’s pride.” We had to created dialogues with such collocation and guessed their meaning. In the end, we had to create our own “cockneys,” and that is what I made up: “fat and bad= mad” and “ colors fall=wall.”Unfortunately, we have no analogies to it in the Ukrainian language. I suppose it could be amusing and thrilling. Albina Chasnyk The second English club was much more cognitive, but difficulties with understanding and speaking started to disappear. As we took places, I understood that today we would have something connected with grammar. On the whiteboard was wrote - Cockneys. Later Johnny explained what it mean because I thought about somethi...

FIRST TIME IN ENGLISH CLUB It was my first English Speaking club with Johnny and the first time in the speaking club at all. There were a lot of people from different faculties, so it was a disturbing experience. It was an acquaintanceship, so almost all the time, we played at a "speed meeting" and had to introduce ourselves with just one word.  We have only 3 minutes to discuss some interesting questions and get to know each other better. It was a great possibility to know more about the strange favorite smells of your classmates or strangers and other weird topics. Actually, it was a pleasant, joyful time with interesting people. Albina Chasnyk So, my first English club was a little bit scared — many new faces, another language and, of course, an unfamiliar teacher - Johnny. At the beginning of the class, we were playing a game to know each other better. It was exactly like in our first lesson. After funny, try to remember all the participants, Johnny offered a new a...
