Optional task    43 group

I'm sure that sometimes you dream about what your life will be, how our world will look like in 10, 20 years. Can you imagine what technologies will appear? What devices will you and your children use? How your house will look like? Let's compare your ideas to those that some designers and scientists have.

Do you dream about the same things?

Future World 2050 - A Day In The Future

Living Tomorrow: house of the future

Required task    43 group                                    Deadline 22.01.2016

People always want to know about the future. They wonder what future will look like, how people will live, what they will wear, eat, listen to. Let's try to make a travel "back to the future". 

In 1967, the most trusted man in America investigated the home of the 21st century. Legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite’s regular half-hour CBS documentary program “The 21st Century” was a glorious peek into the future. Every Sunday night viewers of the late 1960s were shown all the exciting technological advancements they could expect to see just 30 or 40 years down the road. The March 12, 1967 episode gave people a look at the home of the 21st century, complete with 3D television, molded on-demand serving dishes, videophones, inflatable furniture, satellite newspaper delivery and robot servants.

1) Watch those videos and make a list of technologies mentioned in the movie.

2) Divide them into two groups: correct and wrong guesses made by the creators of the program.

Dear students of the 43 group,

Hope you had good rest during your holidays: you slept enough, communicated with your friends, watched some new films and spent much time outdoors. This week let you get used to working again, so - Ready .... Steady .... GO!!!

I offer you some books which may be useful for self-preparation for School English Exam and A-Level English Exam. They all consist of two parts: Theory and Practical tasks. I advise you to start with the Practical Part to work on tests as much as you can. All books have keys, so you will be able to check your answers and correct mistakes if you have any. Good luck to you! Let's get started!

Вчора, 13.01.2016 відбувся перший в 2016 році вебінар видавництва “Macmillan” – “New for 2016”! Це була чудова нагода почути про всі новинки, які видавництво підготувало для вчителів у 2016 році: нові ресурси, конкурси, нові та оновлені курси! Цього разу вебінар був міжнародним, отже всі учасники мали нагоду поспілкуватися і обговорити проблеми, притаманні системі освіти в їх країнах, послухати англомовних доповідачів та задати їм свої питання щодо використання підручників видавництва.

Handout-Descriding a picture

Required task      31 group

Throughout history painting has been used for expressing some ideas, feelings and thoughts. New trends and styles appeared and became popular or disappeared with no sign. A lot of deep thought has often gone into developing these new styles but as for me some of them are so deep, that i cannot understand them at all thus I cannot appreciate and enjoy these pieces.

I hope you know more about different types of painting styles. And here are some guiding spider maps to help you. Download them to your device to use them during the lessons,
