We have paid tribute to the Teacher’s Day that is celebrated in Ukraine on the first weekend of October by listening to the impressions of Jacob and Anis about their school teachers. Several Club members announced the dates of their professional holidays and the way they celebrate them. The interesting story by Vlad about the space industry holiday triggered the discussion about the terms “cosmonaut” and “astronaut”, “sputnik” and “satellite”. Other club members told about the celebration of Miner’s Day, Metallurgy Day, Library’s Day. We have warned our guests about the problems they may encounter on the Paratrooper’s Day and Boarder Guard’s Day in Ukraine. We have told them about the controversy of the Navy Day celebrations in Ukraine.
The official topic was “Columbus Day in USA”. We have watched several videos about Columbus and the way he changed history of America. The discussion was about the style of narration in several videos. The club members learned to understand sarcastic style in documentaries.
The session ended with a lively exchange of opinions with the American guests about the life in a big city like Dnipropetrovsk.
The session was a success and enjoyed by all the participants.
Participants – 33 persons.
