Hawaii Islands


Today’s session of the Speaking Club at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk started with a pleasant surprise –   a tourist from Italy Mr. Roberto Stanzani joined our discussion. The club members had an opportunity to practice their auditing skills with a person for whom English is not a mother tongue. Mr. Roberto lives in Bologna and has told us many interesting things about the city and province. The club members asked him numerous questions about his impressions about Ukraine and have given him useful advice about authentic souvenirs to bring home.
The official topic of the session was “Hawaii Islands”. We have watched several videos about the islands.
The classical American hits associated with Hawaii were introduced to the audience. The traditional ethnic dance – hula – was also presented in a video that impressed the majority of the ladies present.
We have read an article that deals with an important industry thriving on Hawaii – the film industry. We have learned that the islands have exceptionally beautiful locations and many world known films were produced there. The list of movies filmed there was quite impressive.
The session was very educational and all the newcomers enjoyed the atmosphere of the club.
Have a look at more pictures, please
