It'f fun for teachers and students to participate in the Foreign Language Week activities in the gymnasium.
One of them was the intellectual game "English and American Writers", and I was invited as a member of jury.
The game was based on the information taken from the books which had been read by the students before.
The tasks for the students were prepared by their teacher of English Olena Mykolayivna Shatrova who has been teaching them since they were in the 5th form.
