English Speaking club - South of the USA


Our guest was Peace Corps Volunteer American Andrew Shell, who works as an English teacher in Pavlograd, but visits our center on a regular basis. He prepared an illustrated story about the South of the USA including his own State Georgia. The club-members found out many interesting facts about the State’s geographical position , nature peculiarities , historical events connected with slavery elimination, wonderful mountains Appalachians and the river Mississippi.
Andrew Shell told about his University, about his favorite corners of Atlanta, architectural masterpieces, which create the modern history of the state, about the game of millions – baseball, about the favorite dishes of the citizens of the South USA and the East Coast.
The club-members asked a lot of questions, which Andrew answered easily. That was an exciting virtual trip! We got new knowledge and fell in love with Georgia.
The second part of the meeting was a free topic discussion.
Our guest from Egypt Solo told  us about the revolutionary events which were happening in his country. The members of WOA shared  their opinions. Every member showed  tolerance to  the events discussed.

 Number of participants - 26. (specialists - 15, students - 8, pensioners – 1, pupils - 1, Librarian -1).
