IX. Заключительный этап урока

  1. Dear friends! Thank you very much for attending our discussion and sharing your opinions with us. All children want to be independent, do everything they want. We do learn from experience. Each failure teaches us something. But to my mind they should ask parents’ advice and try   to find some understanding. Respect different opinions and make our world better.
