Today’s session of the Gabfest Club Club (at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine) was dedicated to the celebration of the “President’s Day” in the USA.The group was offered several You Tube videos that reminded them the names of all the US Presidents and their main achievements. The format of this “White House History” video (a funny song ) was enjoyed by all the present club members. We have learned about a book project “Living in the White House” and discovered some unknown to us facts about the events in this symbolic building. The video of the news corporation explained to us why the celebration of the President’s Day is important for the American Nation. The interview of the White House Chef revealed some interesting facts about the life of the acting US President and his family.
The Club had a surprise visit from an English-speaking foreigner. Ms. Maud is a French lecturer working in Dnipropetrovsk. She lived in the USA for 2 years and shared with us her experiences. The group asked her numerous questions about her English language skills and travelling in the USA.
The session was educational and boosted the club members’ motivation to study English.
Number of participants – 25 persons.
