English Speaking club - Mark Twain quotes and Tennessee

The Guest of the Center  was Luba Zhovtonizhko, the ex-participant of the  schoolchildren exchange program  FLEX. At present she  is a 1st year student of the Ukrainian Academy of Customs. She told us about her 10-month long stay and study in Tennessee, about her host family, subjects at school, school friends, sports in America. Luba shared  her impressions about the differences in American and Ukrainian cuisines.
 Luba was a volunteer in the USA, and she continues her volunteer activities  here in Ukraine. She was a wonderful example of charity traditions in Ukraine. Luba promised to come next time and to tell about her trip to Washington,  to show the pictures and video.
The second part of the meeting was dedicated to American writer Mark Twain. There was a book exhibit of his books in WOA. 
Svitlana Kolesnykova reminded the clubbers the biography of Mark Twain and his magnificent contribution to the development of American Literature. Everybody discussed the famous quotes of Mark Twain.
