to increase my communicative English.
I hope these courses will help me.

Слайд 9Q&A Session
Personally for you, is it difficult to study foreign
language?
Слайд 10Any language has definite complexity.
First, we have to study grammar
rules.
Then we have to listen to or even watch English
radio or TV programs.
Afterwards we have to practice speaking.
And this hard work will lead you to mastering English.
Well, Ukraine is a brilliant example of bilingual or even multilingual country where historically people used to freely communicate using different languages and easily understand each other. For us English is just one more language into the piggy bank of languages circulating in our country.
Слайд 11Q&A Session
Do you think your time and money is good
investment into foreign language study?

But these
courses provide more deep English language study.
Of course, it requires
additional investments.
More time and extra money is necessary to acquire more professional knowledge and speaking skills.
For further profession it is important.
While we are young, we have enormous energy and plenty of time, and we try to put it into the fundament of our professionalism which in its turn could lead to prosperity and wealth not only for individuals but for the nation as a whole. Life has already taught us that Knowledge is of great worth. Investing into English study is worthwhile.
Слайд 13Q&A Session
Why did you decide to study English, not other
language as, for example, Mandarin?
Слайд 14 Though Chinese language possesses the first position by number of
speakers, English is the second world language slightly giving way
to only Spanish. Hopefully, being able to speak English we’ll be able to travel and communicate in the empire on which the sun never sets.
Слайд 15Learning foreign language is worthwhile
Learning a new language might not
be all that easy, but there are many benefits indeed.
Many people learn languages for many different reasons, but here we will cover 5 fundamental reasons why you should open those books and get learning on a new language.
Слайд 16Learning foreign language is worthwhile
The first reason is because you'll
have a lot more culture. People who have culture are
people who are knowledgeable and who know their way around life. If you know another language, you'll be more cultured simply because this would permit you to travel more and you'll know the world better.
Слайд 17Learning foreign language is worthwhile
The second is because people will
like you. People like people with knowledge, whom they can
learn from, as long as you're not a show-off. People like hearing stories from other countries and from others, so by telling them about your travelling with your new language you may develop new friendships.
Слайд 18Learning foreign language is worthwhile
The third is because you'll discover
so much. Not only will you be more open to
a whole new culture, you'll be able to meet thousands of other people thanks to your extra language. No one knows where life will take us, and knowing this extra language might just make your life completely different.
Слайд 19Learning foreign language is worthwhile
The fourth is because you'll develop
your mind. By learning you're exercising your brain, and so
you should be faster at memorizing and doing simple mental exercises. When you learn a new language you need to put words and verbs together, which works your brain. You'll be very good at associating other things as well.
Слайд 20Learning foreign language is worthwhile
The fifth reason why you should
learn another language is because it's fun. However, you need
to make it fun. Learning a language isn't easy, but by enjoying the experience and turning it into an interactive game you can truly have a lot of fun.
Слайд 22 Мама говорит, что эти пузырьки оставляют ее посуду чистой и
ее руки мягкими.
Но я думаю, что она ошибается, потому что
смотри – они оставляют мои руки чистыми и мою посуду мягкой.
Слайд 23 Mom says these bubbles leave her dishes clean and her
hands soft.
But I think, she’s wrong ‘cause look – they
leave my hands clean and my dishes soft.
Слайд 24What fun!
