Halloween should not be scary

Witches take flight and begin to soar
Spooky figures stopped and knocked on your door
Spirits, ghosts, and goblins start to roam
One has left tasty treats outside your home
You've been Boo'd the note does say
So spread the fun this autumn day
For some great ideas, visit the site below
And create a Boo bag for a neighbourhood friend, not foe
Include this poem with a sign that says, "Boo"
Keep it a secret ... it didn't come from you
Share some Boos this Halloween season
Making others smile is the only reason
Keep the spell going, joing the cheer
Celebrate the fact that Halloween is here!

Practice makes perfect

To know grammar rules is a good thing but to use them when you speak or write is even better.
After practising Future Tenses for a while, my senior students got an interesting task. They had to describe our world in 25 years' time. Let's read some of their ideas.


There will be robots which will be helping people with the housework. 
I hope that scientists will have invented a device for time travel.

Human relationships will have changed dramatically. People will be making friends only on 
the Internet. 
                                                                                                                 Serhiy 

Scientists will have found extraterrestrial life. We'll be able to talk to aliens via live Internet chats. Maybe, it'll be possible to travel to different planets by special spacecraft.

Five Years and Two months

Five years and two months ago I started writing a new chapter in My Life Book. I got a part-time job at Drohobych Grammar School. 
Although it's quite difficult to say when teaching became my career (when I was born in the teachers' family or at the age of eight taught younger neighbours to sing songs and recite poems), it's really my cup of tea. 
I'm glad this chapter is that long but sometimes I just can't believe it.
