There has never been a language spoken
by so many people in so many places

The theme of our today’s lesson is “My English”. On Russian Literature classes we usually have compositions “My Pushkin”, for example, everyone has his own Pushkin and so we have our own Pushkin and so we have our own English. We open things to ourselves, we discover subjects according to our outlook, abilities and even nation.

Summer holiday by Cliff Richard
We're all going on a summer holiday
No more working for a week or two
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday
No more worries for me or you
For a week or two.
We're going where the sun shines brightly
We're going where the sea is blue
We've seen it in the movies
Now let's see if it's true.
Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you.
It was fantastic, splendid.
