and make it more friendly, peaceful and show the world that Russians are really friendly and open-
hearted! Make the prejudice «Russia is the Bear» disappear, cause it’s not true what mass media
often says about Russia. Make ordinary people understand that Russia doesn’t want to fight with the
West, but only struggles for peace, justice and reasonable system of values. We know how to make it
better and will put every effort to show that Russia is a powerful but at the same time friendly and
open-minded country with great potential and capable of great endurance!

It’s amazing, but American people run a
lot and it’s quite easy to see them running,
especially in the morning:)
And one curious fact about «STOP All
Way» sign – all cars have to stop before
crossroads and a car, that arrives at the
stop line first, goes first. And it’s a really
common sign on all the roads.
These waterparks you can find in different
areas – it’s funny to be there ))
Concerning junk I can say that there’s much more
garbage (rubbish) on the streets than before, but
it is, all in all, rather clean comparing with other
places... “Got Junk? Call us! We are working in

WEEK 1
As promised, I will try to make a blog about
Canada, Toronto in general, and places I visit.
The first week was quiet, moderate, without
many new places, just getting used to the
usual Canada’s conditions – the weather was
quite unpredictable! It can be absolutely
different in one day
Right now it’s cloudy, but it’s going to
rain with thunder, so my plans to go downtown
should be rescheduled for the next week:)

The third week was really hard, but engaging:
– I finally refinished the deck on the backyard
(believe me, it was really time-consuming, but it
was worth doing). You will find some interesting
details under Do It Yourself section
– had some entertainment activities with my
nieces on Canada Day and watched the firework
from Wonderland (not the best in Toronto, but
decent);
– got a tempting offer, but maybe I will talk later
about that; «tennis runs in our blood» is the
motto of one renowned company;
– had a look at really nice sport cars;
– and I was happy to visit a local library one more
time (but not too long).
More comments will appear a bit later, so stay

store which now sells more European
food), Awenda park at the Georgian Bay, great
historic buildings in the University of Toronto

Mt.Royal – mountain, or we can
say a hill, is a large volcanic-related
hill or small mountain in the city
of Montreal, west of downtown
Montreal, Quebec (Canada), the
city to which it gave its name.
The height is 211 m (692 ft), above
mean sea level

WEEK 8
A trip to the mountain or «Haste makes
waste»
It was very interesting how I got to the
Mountain Royal in Montreal! Yes, there is a
mountain, a big hill, in the city itself!
It was already getting dark when I decided
to go on the mountain. There are different
routes how it’s possible to get to the top
of Mt. (Mountain) Royal and I needed the
shortest route because I wanted to get there
before it was dark. So I asked people how I
can get there and they told me to go straight
and then climb the stairs... Easy, right?
There was a serpentine road to the top, it was
not straight and I found it too long. When
I was running along this road I saw a steep
short path (or it looked like a path) and I
thought that this path would get me to the
mountain faster. So I followed this steep path
and I saw a lot of obstacles on the path – rocks,
big plants… and finally, the path ended soon.
But I was quite high at that moment and it
was getting dark a lot faster that time and
there were a lot of hidden sharp rocks under
the plants. So if I had hurt my leg, nobody
would have come for help because I was at
a big height and far away from people. But
with God’s help, I managed to climb down on
the road – I had really dirty hands, but I was
really happy :)
Then I followed the road, saw the stairs and
finally got to the mountain! I was unable to
make good photos of the sunset, but I was
able to make good night photos with the
moon!

It was a great honor to be the journalist and
photographer at a big international event in
Montreal and Toronto – Rogers Cup (Coupe
Rogers in French) – �it was tremendously
fascinating to be just in 3 meters away from
such tennis legends as Roger Federer and
Rafael Nadal. It was also special to have a
small interview �with Aleksandr Zverev, that
day he won only first match coming back from
4 match-points. You can check the recording

unprecedented history and it’s always
interesting to discover its beauty.

Rogers is an official sponsor of the Rogers Cup
tennis tournament, but at the same time is Canada’s
largest wireless carrier, with 10.274 million subscribers
as of Q4 2016,[3] and revenues of just under $7.3 billion
in 2013. It also consists of cable television, telephone,
and Internet connectivity with significant additional
telecommunications and mass media assets.

The meerkat (Suricata suricatta) belong to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari
Desert in Botswana, in the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats
is called a «mob», «gang» or «clan». A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50
or more members. To look out for predators, one or more meerkats stand sentry, to warn others of approaching dangers.
When a predator is spotted, the meerkat performing as sentry gives a warning bark or whistle, and other members of
the group will run and hide in one of the many holes they have spread across their territory.

ata IT IS CLEAR AND EVIDENT

E
verything must be done to prevent
a climate change and it›s not
simple words.
Climate change is happening.
That’s a fact. The science is
sound, and in July we just had the
hottest month ever on record. Sea
levels are rising, ice is melting, and
dangerous weather patterns are becoming more and
more frequent. It’s no coincidence that we’re seeing
more news reports of horrible flooding and violent
tornadoes at odd times of the year. So yes, climate
change is happening and it’s terrifying. But what
is there to be done about it? That’s one of the central
questions of the documentary Before the Flood, which
is directed by Oscar-winning The Cove helmer Fisher
with Elon
Musk, the most Stevens and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio
doesn’t simply pop in and out of the documentary at his
enthusiastic convenience—he’s in nearly every scene, speaking with
enterpreneur some of the world’s top scientists and the individuals
that have the power to do something about climate
1 change, from President Obama to Pope Francis.
At heart, Before the Flood is a film made for mass
consumption in an effort to inform and spur the public
into action. In that respect, it’s incredibly effective.
There’s a fantastic blend of cold hard facts from expert
scientists as well as discussions with world leaders and
those directly effected by the effects of climate change.
Following a worldwide release, the film will be shown on
National Geographic, which is a swell move.
This thing should be seen by as many people as
possible.
the performer is passionate about climate
change, and DiCaprio’s “Hollywood actor” status
is put to great use as he frequently plays the
layman opposite the many experts he interviews
in the documentary.
T IS EVIDENT THAT BEFORE THE FLOOD
IS VERY MUCH AN EDUCATIONAL AND
ADVOCACY DOCUMENTARY. IT’S A CLIFFS
NOTES VERSION OF WHAT’S HAPPENING
TO THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, WHAT’S GOING
TO HAPPEN TO THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, AND
WHAT WE CAN DO TO PREVENT THE WORST
POSSIBLE OUTCOME. IN THAT RESPECT,
IT’S KIND OF LIKE A LESS BORING VERSION
OF AN INCONVENTIENT TRUTH WITH SOME
HIGH-PROFILE INTERVIEWS
Before the Flood covers most all of the bases. The influence
of corporate money into politics is touched on, and DiCaprio
travels the globe to see how other countries like China and
India are handling climate change, and getting a first-hand
account of the effects of climate change on communities that
could very well be a preview of much worse things to come.
We see first-hand how Greenland’s melting ice is causing a
change in color of its terrain, which in turn no longer reflects
the sun but absorbs it, becoming a heat creator instead of
reflector. And we see how Miami Beach, Florida is having to
literally raise the elevation of its roads to combat rising ocean
waters. See Miami 2017 flood.

If it wasn’t for a foundation of love
I actually wouldn’t be happy. Let

who are you and what do you want.
I want to be real with you and tell
you that achieving goals there’s
nothing wrong with achieving
goals.
06:11
There’s nothing wrong with mak-
ing money but your identity and
your value has nothing to do with
what you achieve or what people
think of you or how much you
have.

We need to first get rid of that
mentality of disability of victim-
ization. When we have a challenge
the first disability we have is “poor
me”. I have no arms and legs.

Maybe your situation is differ-

father. Maybe you have a lack of
skills. Maybe you want to start

Be thankful for what you have. Be-
cause if you are thankful for what
you have now you use what you
have. Have you ever thought about
this way? Success is not how much
money you have.
07:25
Success is understanding that
somebody who has success was
a master of using what they had
to the best of their ability. For
instance, if I don’t know how to

time, one step at a time.
09:01
You don’t know what’s around
the corner. I don’t know, I can’t
achieve it with my little foot until
I try. Thomas Edison, he made the
light bulb. Do you know how many
times he tried to make a bulb?
10,000 times. Thomas Edison
changed everything, look how
many bulbs we have!
09:24
They probably have 100,000 lights
in this auditorium. How many
light bulbs are there in the world?
Because that all started with a vi-
sion and a dream...
09:45
He tried his best with what he did
have. And when someone came up
to Thomas Edison and said: “Hey,
how does it feel like failing 9,999
times?” You know what he said: “I
never failed 9,999 times, but know
I do know 9,999 times how not to
make a light bulb!”
10:00
Isn’t that interesting? Is it okay? Is
it okay to fail, Moscow? Is it okay
to fail? Da? If you fail are you a
failure? Net! Is it okay to fail? Yes!
Who do you know who has never
failed at anything?
27
B1 a speaker? And said uh-huh
she said what do you want to
speak about?
11:11
I said I don’t know. She said who’s
gonna want to hear you speak? I
said I don’t know. She said: “Are
they’re gonna pay for you?” I said:
“I don’t know.” She said: “Do you
have any invitations?” – “No!”
“How you gonna get them?” “I
don’t know.” She said: “Even if you
had something to say and some-
one wanted to hear you speak and
they paid you. How are you gonna
get to this speaking engagement?”
Good questions, right?
11:44
now it wasn’t demeaning from my
mum and dad. My mom and dad
are very logical. They’re very wise!
My mum and dad always said:
“Nick, work hard! Life is not gonna
be just something that you get
given things! You got to do some-
thing! Don’t be victimized!
12:04
When I went through the shop-
ping mall and I saw a toy that I
wanted. When I said mom I want
that! You know they said no!
Pay for it yourself! but I have no
money!
12:17
Good! Then figure out how you’re
gonna get money! You see they
were not mean to me but they
didn’t want me to be a victim, to
believe that everything is owed
to me! They said to me: “Your
brother, Nick, takes out the rub-
bish bin. Your sister is too young.
You can do something at the house
and get paid! What do you want to
do? And I said: “you know what?
12:46
I’ll vacuum the floor!” At six
years old I started vacuuming the
floor walking like this and hold-
28
ing the vacuum cleaner like this
and go like this… and a week pay
would be two dollars. If I wanted
something from the store that cost
fifteen dollars I’d have to save for
seven weeks or eight weeks! Do
you know what that taught me? It
taught me patience!
13:16
It gave me dignity! It helped me
to understand how important it is
to save money! To set goals! All of
those lessons came from my par-
ents saying no to that toy! Please,
don’t be a person that gives every-
thing your children want!
13:38
I’m very generous to my children,
but I also set goals for them and I
want you to know that those early
things that my parents did for me
helped me to understand you know
what? I have control over maybe
not everything, but I’m gonna take
control over what I can change.
That led me to a financial literacy
career.
14:06
In my mind knowledge, expansion
of a world of financial indepen-
dence. I went into stock
market investing at age 16. Me and
my brother when my dad was at
work we traded his money on the
stock market for him. We were
teenagers!
14:26
At age 19 I bought my first real
estate investment property and
made 50% in one year! I want you
to know that dreams can come
true, but you need to be faithful
with the little things first and try
to figure out what mental disabili-
ties do we have when it comes to
dreaming big.
14:53
You might think that you will have
people who will put you down.
And you think that maybe my
mom and dad were not encourag-
ers to my dream but guess what?
They were not the biggest discour-
ages either! I was! I was! think of
the 3 biggest discourages in your
life, who are they?
15:21
It only takes 5 seconds for some-
one to discourage you and you
walk away and guess what you do?
You repeat it in your mind! When
I go to school and people look at
me and tease me at school. It takes
three seconds to say you’re ugly!
You’re ugly! you’re ugly! I walk
away and I’m thinking I’m ugly!
I’m ugly! I’m ugly! You are your
biggest discourager or encourager?
Don’t play the victim role.
15:56
Second thing, have an attitude of
gratitude! I want you to think of
something right now! I want you
to think of actually the top three
things that you’re thankful for!
think of them! Are you a person
who’s thankful? Let me tell you,
I’ve seen more poor people happy
than rich people happy! I’ll say it
again.
16:21
I’ve seen more poor people happy
than rich people happy! I would
like to be rich and happy, but that’s
the truth! It’s not about riches that
give you happiness! But if I told
you right now I want you to think
of three things you’re happy for! I
don’t think money is there. I think
your faith is there. I think your
family is there and I think maybe
your friends are there.
16:50
Let me ask you a question, if you
had 15 seconds to breathe what
do you think of your life? When
was the last time you hugged your
wife? Or took her on a date? Or
bought her flowers? Or massaged
her stinky feet? When was the last
time you had a conversation with
your children?
17:23
That’s not got to do with a career
or school or cleaning their room!
You see my dad had three jobs, he
was very very busy and my dad was
a leader of a Protestant Church.
He did that voluntarily and he
did three jobs plus start a church
and he had a disabled son and two
other children and my mom had a
full-time job as a nurse.
17:54
He was very very busy, but you
know who my dad was to me? Not
just my dad he was not just my
role model. He was my friend and
I talked about him in a past tense
because seven months ago he died
of cancer and I’ll never forget the
times he was 62 years old pretty
young.
18:26
Many people say, yes! Very young!
But I’ll never forget when I was
a kid that he will work so so so
hard, but when he was home he
was home! like when I go home I
am home! if I take my phone to the
dining table do you know what my
wife does?
18:49
She grabs my phone and puts it
on a high bookshelf and I cannot
reach! Because when I am home
then I am home! and when I’m
with my family. That’s my great-
est joy that’s my goal, that’s my
passion!
19:06
Yes, you must sacrifice some fam-
ily time for seasons. Especially
when you’re starting a business,
but don’t let the good and excellent
things in this life distract you from
the most important things!
19:20
Because today might be your
last day, make today count! Make
sure that you understand that at
your funeral no one’s going to talk
about your achievements. They’re
going to talk about who you are,
were you kind, were you loving,
were your gracious, were you
forgiving, were you thoughtful or
self-centered?
19:57
I want you to know that culture
doesn’t have to mend who you are.
And yes the business world is dif-
ficult but you don’t have to change
the level of integrity in your life,
either. In fact I will tell you I would
rather be a poor man with peace
in my soul than a rich man who
will never forget the lies he said or
regret or shame or guilt.
20:29
Can you see a limbless man smil-
ing? It’s because it has nothing to
do with arms and legs! And I’m
telling you young entrepreneurs
B1
and older entrepreneurs of Mos-
cow and the future of Russia, your
integrity matters because who you
are and how you do what you do
sets the bar and the foundation of
this nation!
20:57
That practices of many countries
are being – now 68 countries and
there are many business people
who believe that it’s okay to bend
on different integrity levels. I’ll tell
you right now, the moment you are
not integrity as a citizen of Russia,
I want you to know that you have
stopped the full potential of this
country. It is with integrity that we
do everything. We do and that’s
life!
21:28
How do I expect my sons to know
how to be a good husband who
cherishes their wife. If I don’t
show them how I cherish their
mother, how will I expect my sons
to know what generosity is until
they see? Their father donates
his time and money, a million
dollars, through our nonprofit
organization to setting sex slaves
free, orphanages that they can get
medical equipment, wheelchairs,
whatever it is.
22:02
You got to be real and we must step
out of that bubble of wanting more
and not being thankful for what
you have. Ask yourself today who
are you and what do you want to-
day call your mother or your father 3. Spot the differences between the

SkyTeach 2018 и как это было
Самое масштабное событие для учителей английского –
Фестиваль Skyteach прошел 31 марта и 1 апреля
Согласно опросам участники оце-
нивают мероприятие на 4,9 из 5.
Партнер SkyTeach в организации
события — самый первый педагоги-
ческий вуз России — МПГУ. Москов-
ский педагогический университет
предоставил возможность повыше-
ния квалификации для участников,
а также площадки для проведения.
Кроме того, фестиваль поддержали
Macmillan, Академия Росатом,
Pearson, Cambridge Assessment English.
По всей России в организации уча-
ствовало более 50 партнеров и более
150 волонтеров: фотографы, опера-
торы, музыканты, ивент-команда!
ПЕРВЫЙ ДЕНЬ: ТРАНСЛЯЦИЯ
И ИНТЕРАКТИВ
Впервые в рамках одного собы-
тия прошла трансляция в 5 часовых
поясах и 11 регионах докладов спике-
ров из Cambridge Assessment English,
Pearson, МГУ и Macmillan и со многих
других центров.
Мероприятие прошло в 3 этапа:
конференция началась с коучинг-
сессии, где ведущие и модераторы
совместно с участниками составляли
карту мероприятия [2].
Спикеры говорили о своем опыте
и проблемах, которые сейчас волнуют
всех учителей. Как внедрить новые
технологии в уроки? Как заставить
подростков заниматься? Как не выго-
реть и не сойти с ума от перегрузки?
Что делать с ЕГЭ и как помочь учени-
кам подготовиться? О международ-
ных экзаменах — IELTS и т.д…Стоит
ли заканчивать курсы для учителей и
получать сертификаты?
Затем началась трансляция по всем
городам: Наталья Галанина (Макмил-
лан), Екатерина Редькина (МГУ),
Клер Барнс (Кембридж Ассессмент
Инглиш) говорили о языковом
барьере, о методиках и о том, что учи-
теля сами боятся пробовать новое и
доводить до конца, об интерактиве на
занятиях [4]. Трансляцию смотрели
из всех уголков мира, организаторы
видели подключения из СНГ, США,
30
English Teaching
It was a great two-day conference
for English teachers and for those
who are interested in improving
English and highering proficiency
level – all you need is communication
and everything was presented at this
conference!
It was impossible to see everything
in such short time and we also need
to watch other local conferences from
different cities! Meanwhile, check
Voronezh talks and see videos at
https://www.englishmag.ru/skyteach
Европы и даже Южной Америки
Затем в регионы транслировали
доклад эксперта интерактивного
учебника Vimbox Марины Павлу-
ненко из Skyeng о преподавании
онлайн.
После трансляции участники
перешли к квесту. Квест — 10 мето-
дических, психологических и эмоцио-
нальных и практических заданий для
учителей. Нужно было разделиться
на группы и выполнять эти задания.
Цель заданий — выйти из зоны ком-
форта, освоить новые навыки и мето-
дики, которые потом можно в классе
повторить со своими учениками.
На площадках после квеста никто
долго не хотел расходиться,общались,
обменивались опытом, делали фото…
На одной площадке даже отмечали
день рождения участника фестиваля!
ВТОРОЙ ДЕНЬ: 7 ЧАСОВ
ОНЛАЙН-КОНФЕРЕНЦИИ,
КОТОРУЮ МОДЕРИРОВАЛ
ВИДЕОБЛОГЕР ПРЯМО ИЗ
КАНАДЫ (9 ЧАСОВ РАЗНИЦЫ!)
Второй день конференции про-
шел в виде 7-часовой онлайн транс-
ляции! Участники получили ссылки
рано утром и подключились.
Затем подряд прошло 11 докладов
о практике и теории онлайн-препо-
давания: как снимать видео для уро-
ков, какие сложности возникают во
время онлайн-урока, как готовиться
к уроку, как использовать коммуни-
кативные методики…
It was an honor to present and
introduce EnglishMag magazine
project [1] to the wide audience at the
SkyTeach Conference on 31 March
2018! Find out more about this 2 day
offline and online festival here!
Creating a new teacher community
is just great! Thank you a lot to all who
participated in this event!
P.S. Photos from the event: https://
vk.cc/7XjXep and https://vk.cc/7XjXZj
Поднимали также важные биз-
нес-темы: как заработать на жизнь
в онлайне, как развить личный
бренд и многое другое. Участники
задавали вопросы в чате, а выби-
рал вопросы и вел трансляцию Джа-
стин Хаммонд [3: на фото справа],
преподаватель и видео-блогер из
Канады, ведущий канала “Россия
глазами иностранца”. Джастин
выбирал самые интересные и каверз-
ные вопросы и задавал их спикерам.
Для участников, которые купили
пакет London, программа заканчи-
вается только 15 апреля: им нужно
получить задания от методистов
МПГУ и пройти небольшой тест.
Остальные участники ждут записи
докладов и сертификаты: об уча-
стии в Skyteach и о присвоении часов
повышения квалификации по стан-
дарту ФГОС.
МПГУ и Skyteach после фестиваля
планируют запустить платформу
непрерывного повышения квали-
фикации для учителей английского
на базе skyteach.ru. А осенью, как
говорят организаторы, планируется
провести еще одно, 4-е федеральное
событие от Skyteach!

RICHARD MARX –
NOW AND FOREVER

Whenever I’m weary from the battles that Когда я устану с собою войну вести,
rage in my head Ты смыслом бред наполнишь,
You make sense of madness when Не дашь мне с ума сойти.
my sanity hangs by a thread Я сбился с пути, но пока живешь
I lose my way but still you seem ты моей судьбой,
to understand Сегодня и всегда, мой свет,
Now and forever I will be your man. буду я с тобой.

Sometimes I just hold you Утонув в моих объятьях,

Too caught up in me to see Сама не видишь ты,
I’m holding a fortune that heaven Что я обнимаю чудо,
has given to me Сошедшее с высоты.
I’ll try to show you Поверь, я докажу тебе ценой любой:
each and every way I can Сегодня и всегда, мой свет,
Now and forever I will be your man буду я с тобой.

Now I can rest my worries Теперь мои печали остались позади,

and always be sure И я больше не буду один
That I won’t be alone anymore Если бы я знал,
If I’d only known you were there что ты всегда была,
all the time все это время со мной…
All this time все это время со мной…

Until the day the ocean doesn’t Пока не перестанет

touch the sand песок касаться прибой,
Now and forever I will be your man Сегодня и всегда, буду я с тобой,
Now and forever I will be your man Сегодня и всегда, буду я с тобой.

ED SHEERAN –
PERFECT
I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you’re holding mine
[Chorus]
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath
my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we’re so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we’ll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
[Chorus]

Я нашел свою любовь.
Дорогая, погрузись в это чувство и последуй моему примеру
Что ж, вот я и нашел девушку, такую прекрасную и нежную
О, я и подумать не мог, что ей окажешься ты.
Мы были всего лишь детьми, когда влюбились,
Не имея представления о том, что представляет это чувство.
Уж на этот раз я не отпущу тебя.
А ты, дорогая, подари мне тот медленный поцелуй, ведь
твое сердце – все, что у меня есть,
А мое сердце отражается в твоих глазах.
[Припев]
Милая, я танцую в темноте, а ты в моих объятьях,
Мы стоим на траве босиком, слушая нашу любимую песню
Когда ты сказала, что выглядишь растрепанной, я тихо
прошептал,
Но ты услышала, что ты, дорогая, сегодня идеальна.
Итак, я нашел женщину с более сильной натурой, чем у
кого-либо, кого я знал раньше.
Она разделяет мои мечты, и я надеюсь, однажды мы будем
жить под одной крышей.Я нашел любовь, теперь я не слом-
люсь под тяжестью своих тайн,
Буду нести любовь, когда у нас родятся дети.
Да мы и сами все еще дети, но мы так безумно влюблены.
Мы легко преодолеваем разногласия,
Я знаю, теперь у нас все будет хорошо.
Дорогая, просто держи меня за руку,
Будь моей, а я буду с тобой,
Ведь в твоих глазах я вижу свое будущее.

First things first Hoping my feelings, they would drown

I’m fired up and tired of the way that things have been,
oh-ooh ebbing and flowing

The way that things have been, oh-ooh Inhibited, limited

Second thing second
Don’t you tell me what you think that I can be Till it broke up and it rained down
I’m the one at the sail, I’m the master of my sea, oh-ooh It rained down, like...
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
[Chorus]
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking into the masses Last things last
Write down my poems for the few By the grace of the fire and the flames
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me You’re the face of the future, the blood
Singing from heart ache from the pain In my veins, oh-ooh
Take up my message from the veins The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
Speaking my lesson from the brain But they never did, ever lived,
Seeing the beauty through the... ebbing and flowing, Inhibited, limited

Works and How it Works
«6th International Exhibition of career and education abroad» was a very interesting event held at Marriott
Hotel on 17-18 March 2018! Although it was snowing hard and it was -10 degrees outside, TravelWorks
| Career and Education abroad had organized really active and interesting talks and presentations! All
presentations were held on a high level!
Great language schools and well-known colleges were presented from
– Canada (St. Lawrence College, Durham College)
– United Kingdom (Bloomsbury School of English, Languages United)
– Germany, Switzerland, Cyprus (LAL Language Centres, Swiss Education Group and The Language
Gallery English to Cyprus)

TravelWorks interview
It was a good opportunity to take a small
interview from Maksim Kostiuchenko, head
of international relations at TravelWorks and
he was able to share some secret stories about
the company.
Just the first question, TravelWorks what
is it? How does this system work? How is it
organized?
This company has a unique history, this
organisation was created as not something
that was initially planned and organized. This
project was started from one basement room
in Voronezh State University 17 years ago.
That small department was working with
international programmes for students. 17
years afterwards, we have grown up into a
big international company with offices not
only in Russia, but in Kazakhstan as well.
At the moment we are cooperating with
700 entities (universities, colleges, language
school) all around the world. Now we have
a lot of inquiries from students who want to
know how to develop their own career and
improve their communication skills.
Could you tell us about this 2-day
exhibition project? How was it evolved and tell
us something about the speakers and what was
interesting in their talks and presentations?
The Career and Study exhibition is
organised not for the first time. First of all,
it is an exciting opportunity for students,
young specialists and their parents. We
organise special educational sessions for
them where they can discover their abilities,
get specific skills abroad and then fulfill
themselves in Russia. Of course, they ask lots
of questions to our speakers to know more
about educational and working experience
in foreign countries.
How often is such exhibition held?
This event is usually held once a year, but
we are planning to have this event two times
a year because we have a big demand now.
Which perspectives can the participants of
this 2-day exhibition forum ( or event ) find
helpful for them in their studies and their
future plans?
The perspectives of the participants, in
general, are not limited by anything. If it
can be limited, then it is only by their own
will and their imagining of what they want
to achieve, so limits of a person can only
be set by the person himself/herself. We
help them by giving the keys which other
participants used to achieve their goals.
Those keys and skills are really gained by
the experience of traveling and researching
and then these skills can be used afterwards
to make something a solid reality, whether
it’s their own project or even starting a
career in different companies within our
country.
The fully-packed Marriott Conference Hall was
absolutely interested and were satisfied how
everything was organised
Yes, a good question about employment
in companies and employers! Where can the
students be offered a job after graduating
foreign universities? Are you working with
some companies who are searching for
students with specific education?
I want to say, not only in Voronezh,
but overall in all countries, if two equal
candidates with the same background have
different working or studying experiences –
one graduated college or university abroad
or just had small apprenticeship abroad
and another without such experience –
the one with a foreign experience will be
highly preferable no matter what city we are
talking about, Moscow, Voronezh, Lipetsk
or others…

Dog’s Purpose – there is a
purpose in everything
A Dog’s Purpose has grossed $64.5 million in the United
States and Canada and $131.9 million in other territories for a
worldwide gross of $196.4 million, against a production budget
of $22 million. [OfficeMojo]
In the 1950s, a feral puppy named
Toby is whisked away to the dog pound
and quickly euthanized, wondering if
«fun» truly is life’s purpose.
His strong spirit is reborn and
reincarnated as a newborn Retriever
puppy in 1961. Toby leaves his cage at a
puppy mill and is found by two garbage
men who plan to sell him for their own
profit. They leave to drink and Toby
is spotted locked inside their pick-up
truck by a young boy named Ethan
and his mother, who rescue him from
the brink of death by heatstroke. After
they convince Ethan’s father, the dog is
allowed to stay and renamed Bailey.
Bailey and Ethan bond quickly,
especially over the summer when
the family visits Ethan’s maternal
grandparents’ farm, and Bailey now
believes Ethan alone is his purpose.
Years pass and after several attempts at

Movie Time
advancing in his job failed, Ethan’s father
has become a deadbeat alcoholic, though
teenage Ethan still tries to respect him –
inviting him to a football game now that
he has been named starting quarterback.
Over the summer, Ethan goes to a
fair with Bailey and meets Hannah,
who he quickly begins dating, with
Bailey referring to her as «part of the
pack». Ethan and Hannah spend their
summer happy together through their
senior years are upcoming, but they plan
to go to the same school; popular Ethan
getting a football scholarship and Hannah
following him on an academic one.
Later, at a game watched by scouts,
Ethan is offered a full 4-year scholarship
to Michigan State, but that night a
vindictive classmate named Todd throws
a lit firecracker into Ethan’s house as a
prank, which unintentionally results in
a house fire. Bailey alerts Ethan, who
goes to save his mother. Unable to get
out of the door, they head out through
his mother’s bedroom window upstairs.
Ethan first lowers her with her sheets
below, then Bailey – but when trying
to jump himself, Ethan badly fractures
his leg, ending his dreams of an athletic
scholarship. Bailey attacks Todd, who is
apprehended and arrested by the police
when firecrackers fall out of his pocket.
Now, Ethan must go to an agricultural
school where he will learn to take over
his grandparents’ farm. Falling into
depression, self-pity and bitterness,
Ethan grudgingly breaks off his romance
with Hannah before leaving for college.
Sometime afterwards, an aged Bailey
slowly expires at the veterinarian’s office
having the last goodbye with Ethan.
Bailey reincarnates into another dog
life, a female German Shepherd police
dog named Ellie, sometime in the late
1970s/early 1980s, while possessing full
memories and experiences of his past lives.
Ellie is partnered with a widowed officer
named Carlos from the Chicago Police
Department, and works hard at «seeking»
and «finding», now seeing the job as life’s
purpose. Their close relationship ends after
Ellie jumps into a rushing river and saves
a kidnapped girl from drowning, and is
then fatally shot during a struggle with
the armed kidnapper who was a moment
away from killing an unsuspecting Carlos.
In late 1990s Bailey is again reborn
and reincarnated, this time, as a St.
Bernard-Australian Shepherd mix,
sometime during the next decade,
only to be taken in by an abusive and
neglectful urban couple who name him
Waffles. Waffles is eventually dumped in
an abandoned lot and sets off in search
of a new life. Walking past a dog park
and remembering how long it had been
since he played, Waffles meets a dog and
her human who hold a familiar scent to
him. He gradually makes his way to the
country area where he spent summers
as Bailey without even realizing at first
where he is headed. He joyfully reunites
with his old master Ethan, who is now
somewhere in his 50s, living a lonely
life and apparently broken in spirit at
his grandparents’ old farm, which he
now owns and runs. Ethan, of course,
initially has no idea who this wandering
dog really is.
Buddy finally convinces Ethan that
he is his beloved childhood pet by
performing some tricks that were known
only to the two of them long years ago.
The dog in voiceover tells the viewer that
life is about having fun; saving others;
not getting caught in the past or regrets;
finding someone to be with, and living
for today.

Puddington is alive
This is a story about a young Peruvian bear (Puddington) who is fond
of marmalade. After severe earthquake in the darkest Peru he decides
to look for a new home in London… and the most interesting begins.
This film has got many laugh-out-loud funny episodes when Paddington
has dinner at the café, cleans ears with toothbrushes and so on.
It’s good not only for adults but also for children who are taught family
values: kindness, friendliness, good manners at the station (Hi. Good
morning. How do you do? I’m just looking for a home. And I…), respect,
mutual understanding and help.
This highly entertaining all ages family film is worth watching
everybody. By the way, Puddingtons are among us. Be polite to others.

An explorer named Montgomery
Clyde (Tim Downie) documents his
trip to Darkest Peru. He comes across
a rather intelligent species of bears.
Although he tries to take one in, he
decides to bond with them and learns
that they can talk and have a great
appetite for marmalade. Clyde says
he’s learned a lot from the bears, and
he wonders if the bears have learned
anything from him.
Years later, a young bear (voice of
Ben Whishaw) awakens to find that the
marmalade fruits have been produced.
He excitedly runs to his Aunt Lucy
and Uncle Pastuzo, the same bears
Clyde met. The bears gather the fruits
and produce their own supply of
marmalade for their sandwiches. That
night, an earthquake strikes the forest,
wrecking the bears home. Lucy and
the little bear hide. When they wake
up the next morning, they discover
their home is destroyed and Pastuzo
is nowhere to be found. All that’s left
behind is his hat.
Lucy takes the little bear to a ship and
places him on a lifeboat with a supply
of marmalade sending him to find a
home of his own. The bear eats all the
marmalade until he arrives at a train
station in London. He tries to find a
home from anybody passing by, but they
all ignore him. He sits alone with some
birds, sharing his marmalade sandwich,
when the Brown family walks by. The
mother Mary (Sally Hawkins) spots the
bear and immediately takes a liking to
REVIEWS
This is an instant classic. The
raw materials, a heart-warming, but
lightweight children’s story are not the
obvious stuff of a great film, the hybrid
real life and cgi high risk. But it works,
spectacularly. Translated into over thirty
languages, and comprising over twenty
books, the simple adventures of a bear from
darkest Peru have enchanted parents and
children alike. Hamish McColl has done a
fabulous job with the screenplay creating a
story inspired by events in the books, but
not telling a particular previous story.
The ingredients are carefully crafted.
Casting is almost perfect. Nicole Kidman
is wonderful in her baddie. All dads will
love the lingering shots of her from the
soles of her vertiginous heels upwards.
She flounces and pounces and generally
has the most fun, particularly when
enhanced by her no-hoper admirer Mr
Curry (Peter Capaldi).
him, while her husband Henry (Hugh
Bonneville) is less than enthused. Their
son Jonathan (Samuel Joslin) also likes
the bear, while his sister Judy (Madeleine
Harris) is not very interested. They treat
him to a meal, and Mary decides to
name him Paddington.
At the eleventh hour crisis struck the
production when Colin Firth left the
production as the voice of Paddington.
But sweet are the uses of adversity, and
Ben Wishaw stepped in to capture the
spirit and essence of the bear perfectly.
Director Paul King creates a
wonderfully British landscape without
wallowing in nostalgia too much. Tower
Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the Natural
History Museum, Red telephone boxes,
double decker buses and English Bobbies
are of course on show, but multi-cultural
bustling London is also there.
Ninety minutes is about right for a
family film and not a second is wasted,
nor dramatic lull endured. The special
effects are fabulous, particularly a
flood, and the essentials, a hat, duffle
coat and marmalade are all present
and correct.
A certainty to be around for many
Christmases, and years, to come.
