I'M A FILMMAKER
Hello, boys and girls! How are you? Now you have a lot of free time and although you can't visit your favourite sections or schools, or take part in favorite sport competitions or train, it won't obstruct you to have fun. Recall hobbies that you can do at home or in the Internet and play lexical game for that. You need to combine the hobby's name with the picture it means.
Indeed, there are plenty of activities to spend our time fun and useful. But it happens that you don't want to do anything and then you can watch a good movie on TV or on the Internet. Movies differ in subjects and genres, someone likes Ukrainian films, and someone is delighted with American or Turkish serials. You see a beautiful story on the screen, and whether were you interested in making movies? Check out the following video for a movie, who creates it, and how the filming process is organized.
Do you think it is interesting or difficult to be a filmmaker or director? I propose to you the following task: Introduce yourself as the director of "Harry Potter" or "One at Home" films. And your film crew is your classmates. Which of your classmates would you nominate for the lead role? Which of them would be the operator? And who would become a cool costume designer or a stuntman? Distribute roles between your classmates. Be imaginative and creative, perhaps this will help you to choose your future profession. Good luck!

CELEBRITIES AND PRESS
Hello, students! How are you? Last time we went into the wonderful world of cinema, became real directors and screenwriters, and someone - actors. Have you become a star or what else is called a celebrity! Well, let's find out how well you know the worlds stars of movie and music:
Very nice! But you know that without the press or the media, all the events of a star's life would be unfamiliar to us. So, in order for the fans of the stars to know everything about their idols, the newspapers follow their every step. How is the press organized? The following lexical game will help you, where you need to combine Ukrainian names with English translations. Write down unfamiliar words or phrases in dictionaries.
We see that working in a newspaper or magazine can be stressful or even dangerous. But still it is interesting and every time unpredictable. In order to attract readers' attention, journalists invent incredible stories and publish various gossip about celebrities. They literally turn everything upside down. I suggest you to become such a journalist for one day and turn a regular article about a Hollywood actress into a funny story. You need to replace certain words with antonyms and rewrite the article as follows. What will happen - see for yourself. Grade 9 replaces all nouns for antonyms, grade 10 replaces all verbs for antonyms, grade 11 replaces all adjectives for antonyms.
Actress Dilaya Swan got married
The star of the films "A Tiny Million" and "P.K. I love you” married for the second time with family and friends.
Hollywood actress 42-year-old Dilaya Swan has become a wife for the second time. Her choice was businessman Philip Klimm. This was reported on the Vogue site.
The ceremony was held under an 800-year-old tree in California's Redwood National Park.
The bride's dress was created by Elie Saab for 150 hours with the help of seven professional tailors. It took 25 meters of French lace, eight meters of silk and six meters of organza.
The festive dinner lasted in the circle of close friends and relatives. The actress herself admitted that she lacked the words to describe the event.
Good luck!

TRAVELING
Hello my students! How are things? How did your weekend go? This week, the world celebrated Easter and it is a traditional holiday when people honor the memory of their loved ones who are no longer on earth and visit their relatives and friends. Sometimes we have time to go somewhere for short vacations or to fly abroad. I suggest a lexical game where you will find something interesting and new for yourself on the topic "Travel". Be sure to write down unfamiliar words in the dictionaries.
And what to do when we do not have this opportunity and want to travel very much? We will be saved by the Internet, namely virtual travel. How does it work? It's not a boring look at someone's photos and it's not just "walking" through the streets on a map. You find yourself in the middle of a savannah or in the desert, underwater in the ocean or at the crossroads of a bustling metropolis. And all this while sitting at home. The following videos are just a few examples of clips on YouTube's National Geographic.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLivjPDlt6ApRq22sn082ZCC9893XtV8xc
You control by your mouse that you want to see - and right next to you is a lion or a huge elephant. Each video is accompanied by a story, and you only have to listen to it and choose what is interesting to you. Embark on a new journey right now, and then write down a few sentences about the place you like to travel the most. In a good way!
