National Moon Day is celebrated annually on July 20 and commemorates the day man first walked on the moon in 1969. This event was reported by NASA as being «… the single greatest technological achievement of all time….»
The topic gave us the opportunity to introduce the group to numerous phrases and words with the noun “moon”. We read and translated the phrases and tried to find the Russian equivalents to them.
The next activity was the introduction of the group to the most popular American songs about the moon. The task was to watch the relevant video and try to understand the lyrics. The group was fascinated by the cult songs “Moon River” and “Take me to the Moon”. We tried to present to our American guest Mr. Josh popular Soviet and Ukrainian songs about the moon. Some club members managed quite well with the tricky task of rendering the song lyrics into English.
Mr. Josh presented his home town Charleston to the Club members and they shared their associations with this geographical name. The associations ranged from the name of the dance to the novel “Gone with the Wind”.
The session was educational and enjoyable.
Number of participants – 15 persons.
