Wow! It happened! The first

Discussion Club lesson on 12th of

May!

And I must ensure you it was an

auspicious start for TRINITY Edu-

cation Group!

What was unique about this

event – definitely there were plenty

of noble gentlemen in black ! We

really expected just ladies and a few

men but in fact I was extremely

pleased with the guy’s company.

By the way, we were performing

on public eye and there is a small

modified recording of the lesson

which you can check on our web-

site www.trinity-group.com.ua in

Video blog.

At first, it is necessary to say that

Helen – our new teacher -was a pre-

senter of our Discussion club. Eve-

ryone characterizes her as a positive

and versatile young lady. I liked her

fluent and soft speaking that is com-

bined with numerous interesting

ideas.

We started with introduction and

discussion of our future plans con-

nected with our occupation. Then

she distributed copies with work-

related situations and criminal vo-

cabulary.

in any team. But alongside with it, I am

a person of principle. Moreover, I al-

ways try to think outside the box. My

favorite expression is “If you always do, what you always did, you always

get, what you always got”.

The attitude to life and to the world

is philosophical. I am inclined to think

that I am capable to find even in the

most dismal situation the positive

sides. For me there are no situations

from which it is impossible to find the

way out. I prefer the golden mean and

try to keep the balance.

Concerning my work, I am a re-

sponsible person. If I'm not sure I can

do something, I try not to undertake it

not to rock the boat. But what's more

important I LOVE MY JOB! Who else

can boast of this fact? Now I keep my

mind on the job, I like to do my bit, I

am full of beans, so I work to excess,

but I relish it a lot!

My name is

Juliya. I work in

the “Trinity Ed-

ucation Group”

as a teacher of

English and

German and I

am proud of this

fact. Of course,

being a teacher

is challenging, but at the same time re-

warding. Frankly speaking, I wanted to

become a teacher from my childhood,

so I enrolled at the Institute of the For-

eign languages. I always had a flair for

languages and got my diploma with ex-

cellent results. As I am a go-getter, I

decided not to stop my education, thus,

I am preparing for the CAE exam.

I easily hit it off with people, be-

cause I am a happy-go-lucky extravert.

My job entails liaising and I'm con-

stantly exposed to people. Having a

flexible character allows me to get on

demic and business research writer and I

am fully engaged in the teaching activi-

ties of Trinity Education Group. I also

have experience in Spanish-English

translation, as well as an enjoyable expe-

rience of living abroad.

I hope I’m really out-going, tolerant,

and extroverted, though not very punctu-

al. I believe I have a creative mindset, a

positive attitude, and an enthusiastic

spirit. The most importantly, I’m pas-

sionate: I’m passionate about the work I

produce, about getting a feedback from

my students, as well as about my own

pursuit of knowledge, which is mostly

inspired by widely polysemantic, stylis-

tically rich, and quite bewildering nature

of English.

Finally, I’d like to quote the words

once said by Martin Luther King, which

always inspire me to be vigorous, initia-

tive, and able to work with zest and effi-

ciency, especially when I’m a bit lazy:

“Take the first step in faith… You don’t have to see the whole stair-

case, just take the first step.”

Hi there!

My name’s

Oksana and

I’m 25. I’m

a graduate

of Gorlovka

State Peda-

gogical In-

stitute for

Foreign Languages, where I gained a

platform of linguistic knowledge and be-

came a teacher of English and Spanish in

2008. Love of these two languages led to

my becoming an avid participant in

speech contests and numerous students’

conferences. However, the most im-

portant philological accomplishment

while studying was participation in two

International Conferences on the Prob-

lem of Methodology of Foreign Lan-

guage Teaching in 2007 and 2008.

ingly. Just imagine male humor! I burst

Vladimir was very cute and funny.

He enlightened us about his future plans

from our lively class

Salary is a punishment because

sometimes you get less money than you

earn.

Holidays – it is a realise from prison

They do everything that the boss asks.

Have you ever dreamt about being a princess?

Kate Middleton is a fan of fancy

hats.

Go www.trinity-group.com.ua


Marrying at 29, Kate Middleton be-

comes the oldest royal bride in British

history.

Kate’s parents are "self-made mil-

lionaires" and run their own company

Party Pieces that is a mail order firm

and sells party decorations and sup-

plies.

Kate was a model at the university.

She walked the catwalk at a student

fashion show in March 2002. The

sheer dress she modeled cost $40 to

make but is to worth $160,000 once

she’s wed.

Kate Middleton and Prince William

are distant relatives - they’re each

other’s 12th cousins. Kate is also relat-

ed to George Washington, she’s his 8th

cousin. Gossiped by Tanya Isayeva

Definitely YES! Consequently, you were excited about the Royal Wedding of Kate

Middleton and Prince William. Let’s pop into their private life and get to know some interesting

facts about the Royal Wedding.

Indisputably, the marriage of

Prince William with Kate was a mag-

nificent moment for not only Britain

but for the whole world. More than 9.5

million people voraciously have

logged on to the official royal wedding

website since it was set up last Novem-

ber when the couple proudly an-

nounced their engagement.

More interesting facts More interesting facts about the about the

Royal Wedding:Royal Wedding:

At one point in the ceremony,

before the exchange of vows,

William also mouthed the words,

"You look beautiful," to his bride,

who was dressed in a veiled ivory

gown and tiara, her dark hair

down.

The gown, created by British

fashion designer Sarah Burton,

had a nearly three-meter-long

train. The "halo" tiara, made in

1936, was loaned to Kate by the

Queen, who received it from her

mother as an 18th-birthday pre-

sent.

Prince William wore the red

tunic of the Irish Guards regiment,

with a blue sash.

Just hours before the wedding

ceremony took place, Bucking-

ham Palace announced that the

Queen was bestowing new titles

on Prince William and his bride-

to-be. "Prince William thus be-

comes His Royal Highness The

Duke of Cambridge and Miss

Catherine Middleton on marriage

will become Her Royal Highness

The Duchess of Cambridge," the

announcement stated. William

also was given two other titles:

the Earl of Strathearn and Baron

Carrickfergus.

The ceremony was watched by

2,000 friends, family and digni-

taries inside the Abbey and an

estimated 2 billion people

around the world.

Kate met William at University of

St Andrews where she adamantly stud-

ied history and he was completely im-

mersed in studying geography.

Kate and William started dating in

2002 but split up in 2007 to reconcile

later that year. Thus, their private life

was constantly in a public eye.

Kate Middleton was born on Janu-

ary 09, 1982, and is 6 months older

than William.

William proposed to Kate in No-

vember while on a vacation in Kanya.

He proposed with his mom’s engage-

ment ring. Queen Elizabeth II chose

this ring for Prince Charles’ engage-

ment some 30 years ago.

Kate’s parents are "self-made mil-

lionaires" and run their own company

The moon is rising and it is time to watch a

gorgeous phenomena which happens every

single night in the high mountain far away

from human being’s eye.

The observer would realize that God

played with colors while he was creating

the Universe and then on the spot his Maj-

esty decorated the endless sky with numer-

ous stars of varied sizes and added planets as satellites of the light bodies. The truth

is that each of them is absolutely unique and has a million-year long life.

If you are curious you should watch this video http://vimeo.com/22439234 and

inevitably it will take your breath away, it will enforce you to think deeper about

your mission on the Earth.

Standing on the surface with you head

up you can hear the explicit music of the

nature, the breath of mountains and the

warming embrace of trees, the holy beauty

of surrounding landscape and captivating

sky.

Morning is coming and weightless

clouds are penetrated by the rays of sun

which give life and vital energy. Slight wind is going to wear off all the negative

thoughts and bring peace and quiet inside every cell of yours. Miraculously, you

have a chance to see the tremendous and overwhelming view on the giant World and

know you were born not in vain. Tanya Isayeva

Did you know how the date of Easter is determined?

Easter falls on the first Sunday , the first full moon after the vernal equi-

nox (Equinox is on March 21).

It can occur as early as March 22 and as

late as April 25.

If the full moon after the equinox falls on

Sunday, Easter follows a week later.

Originally Easter was celebrated on the

same day as the Jewish Passover. Since

the Jewish calendar is lunar, Passover

can fall on any day of the week, and some

church fathers were distressed that the Len-

ten fast should end on a day other than Sunday. They argued about it until the 8th

century, when the church officially adopted the procedure we have now. T. Isayeva

Joseph Pulitzer once said about writing:

Put it to them briefly so they will read it,

Clearly so they will appreciate it,

Picturesquely so they will remember it and,

Above all accurately so they will be guided by its light.

Techniques of effective writing

Use strong, vigorous words

Some words express force and dy-

namism; others are dull and lifeless.

Effective writing will often make use

of strong and vigorous words. Consid-

er the use of ‘boom' versus 'period of

general economic prosperity' or' ty-

coon' versus 'well-known business

leader'.

Nouns are generally stronger than

adjectives, and verbs are strongest of

all. Verbs are strong because they are

about action, and action commands in-

terest.

The essential task of the writer is to communicate the message. The purpose of

this session, therefore, is to consider some guidelines and pointers to readable

writing.

World selection

Word selection is by no means the

easiest part of the writer's task. It

means that the quest for the right word

can be an agonizing one. The objective

is to relay your intended meaning as

accurately as possible.

Sentence construction

Sentences aimed at an adult reader

of middling ability might typically

have 16-18 words.

Thus, remember one of the most essential

rule of all:

The most valuable of all talents is never

using two words when one will do.

Thomas Jefferson

Make it positive

A worthwhile topic in communica-

tion is to emphasize the positive. Even

if you have a negative piece of infor-

mation to communicate, the reader will

respond more effectively if there is a

positive element.

10 million children are starving

to death

Please help

Your probable reaction is sadness,

but a sense of being able to do nothing
