Last autumn I was enrolled at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, cybernetics faculty, program engineering. First semester and the examination session have already finished, and I can share some of my impressions, conclusions and thoughts. University differs from school a lot, and after you graduate from school a new page of your life begins.

In the first semester I studied 7 subjects: introduction to computer programming (on C++), discrete mathematics, analytical geometry & linear algebra, English, mathematical analysis, physical basics of computer electronics, and history of education (a very minor subject).
Learning foreign languages is very important nowadays. But learning a lot of words is a bit boring. How to make it more interesting? We started dramatizing dialogues, sketches & performances. While learning students improve their vocabulary, phonetics & grammar. We played stories of Hot Dog & Cool Cat, Characters of Shakespeare, O’Henry , Oscar Wilde & other writers in the past.
We performed “Sleeping Beauty” “Snow Queen”& “Goldy Locks”. All decorations & costumes students did by themselves. We spent much time rehearsing on the stage. Students usually find music, which suits the performance.
This year our students have presented &ldq

My greetings to you!
I am Natasha Berdychevska, I finished the "Troyeshchyna" Gymnasium in May 2014 and I've entered the Kyiv National Linguistic University. And now I would like to share my emotions with you!
First of all, I want to say that KNLU - is the university I have dreamed about since 7th grade because I want to connect my life with English. So my dream has come true!
Secondly, I can say that studying in the 11th grade (and all time after that too) was difficult and stressful for me (although I am thinking about it now with a smile on my face). I had a lot of tasks in order to prepare for ZNO, I was a bit nervous and I hadn'

On 28 May 2014 our club started with Olya's presenting us her cake baked by herself.
It was very delicious.
Then Andrey and Dima told us the end of the stories and we had to invent the beginning.
It was very exciting.
These are the stories that the boys told us:
1) There is a man in the center of the huge field. He is dead and he has a broken stick in his hand.
2) A cowboy has come in a bar and has asked a glass of water. Then barman has shot. The man has said «thanks» and has gone away.
3) In 1987 a submarine was found in the sea. There were four bodies. They were dead. Three of them were shot and one of them was without any track on his b

On 22nd of May, on the day of reburial of the great Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko,
our English group presented translations of his poetry.
As we know, this year it has been 200 years since Kobsar's birthday,
so we decided to destinguish this anniversary.
Everybody had chosen a poem, special for him or her. That's why our work gave us pleasure.
Everyone prepared the presentation of our translations the way we liked.
We invited our classmates, students from other classes and some teachers to ... Read more »
On 26-27 April 2014 8 students from our school took part in a session of the European Youth Parliament.
On Saturday we arrived at school Consul at 9 a.m.
First of all we came through the registration and then we watched a presentation of the EYP.
After this introductory part we had teambuilding, which helped us to feel more relaxed and confident.
It was a selection of funny games, which we played either together or in our committees (mostly).
Dear readers, I would like to tell you about our club meeting and how we spent it on 20th March.
That was an amazing shiny day. We decided to watch all our videos and remember our different projects, which we made when were younger.
I remember how we created our videos, how we wrote screenplays and invented games for participants for our Wiki TV Channel.
