New things about Americans

Today’s session of the GABFEST speaking club (at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk)was planned as a free-topic session to facilitate the speaking activities of the participants.

We were lucky to have a surprise visit from an American. Mrs. Erica has moved to Dnipropetrovsk due to her husband’s work. It was a great surprise to find out that Erica’s husband is a professional basketball player. Now he has a contract with the local basketball club “DNIPRO”.

Erica told us about herself and her impressions about the city. The club members asked her numerous questions; they have given her recommendation about the choice of the language to study to survive in Dnipropetrovsk. We look forward to more encounter with Mrs. Erica who charmed all the persons with her lovely manners and openness.

The second part of the club was dedicated to the planning of festive sessions. The club members were asked to tell what kind of activities they would like to have for festive sessions in the months to come. The session turned into a “brain-storming” and a lot of ideas were announced.

To draw the line of the speaking activities the club members were asked to tell about the most memorable event of the last week. One group was to tell about positive events and another group – about negative events.

The session was fun and enjoyed by all the participants.

The number of participants – 31persons.
