Summer camps are always fun!

On Sundays we usually go swimming in the morning, play board games in the afternoon and sing in the evening. On Mondays we go on a long trip in the morning and in the afternoon . In the evenings we watch films. On Tuesdays in the morning we usually go swimming; then have a picnic in the afternoon and have a concert and disco in the evening. On Wednesdays we learn to read maps, go on a hike in the afternoon and play board games in the evening. On Thursdays we go fishing, then – cook Polish food from the fish we have caught and play ball games in the evening. On Fridays we go swimming in the morning, then – draw or read favourite books and, finally – sit by the campfire in the evening. On Saturdays we make presents for our visitors in the morning, have visitors in the afternoon and again have a disco and concert in the evening. My favourite day is Friday. I love sitting by the camp fire and telling stories. Welcome to Pulawy. Have the time of your life!

Nick:I go to summer camps every year. What do I like about them? Many things, actually. Every year I go swimming, I go on a hike every week in the camp. I often sit by the fire with my new friends.

Unit1, Lesson 5, Ex. 3a
H- Host, WS - Wes Shaw, JM - Jess Morton, AG - Amy Grey
Host: Hello, everybody! Today in “Summer Time” we’ll talk to Wes Shaw, Jess Morton and Amy Grey who are summer camps coordinators. Hi, guys!
WS, JM, AG: Hello! Hi! Hi!
H: And my first question is … parents don’t sometimes want to send their kids to summer camps. Is it true?
WS: Well, yes, that’s right. And not only parents. A lot of children at the age of 11 or 12 are very nervous when going to a summer camp for the first time. I remember I thought that I could meet aggressive and unfriendly children and I believed it was very difficult to make new friends when I went to a camp for the first time.
H: But was it really so?
JM: Absolutely different! You see when a kid goes to a summer camp, far from home and parents, grandmas and granddads they feel they are big and they can learn and do a lot of things themselves. Let’s look at some examples.
H: Oh, yes. I see you’ve brought some pictures with you. Hmm, these faces are very well-known. This is Cindy Crawford, a famous top model, and this is my favourite actress Natalie Portman, a star of “Star Wars”, ha-ha. And look at these two. Robert Downey junior, a famous Sherlock Homes and a star of the world basketball Michael Jordan. Why do you have their pictures with you, guys?
WS: You know they all were happy campers at the places where we worked. For example, Cindy came to our US Air Force Academy Science Camp back in 1980.
H: Science Camp??? What a surprise?
WS: Yes, she went there and exercised her brain a lot. She learnt a lot of things that helped her to do better at school. And of course she went on hikes, played different team games, did sports and sat by the fire.
H: Did you think she could become a top model?
WS: Well, she was a very beautiful girl at that time and other campers gave her a nickname. Her nickname was “Legs”.
H: Wow! That’s interesting. What about Natalie Portman? Did she have any nicknames?
JM: I don’t know really! She went to our Stagedoor Manor Arts Camp as a normal girl. She was a nice girl and very talented. Robert Downey Junior was our camper as well.
H: Really? Two future film stars at one camp!
JM: Yeah. I think they both got their first chance to shine at Stagedoor Manor. They played at out theatre a lot, they made fantastic shows, they sang and danced.
H: Did they stay at your camp at the same time?
JM: No, no, of course not! Robert Downey was our camper in 1978 and Natalie stayed at Stagedoor Manor in 1993.
H: And Amy, tell us who packed his bags to go to Five-Star Basketball Camp in Pittsburgh?
AG: It was Michael Jordan of course! He went to our camp to play basketball as much as possible. He also watched basketball videos and film, read books about basketball and worked with basketball instructors.
H: Oh, basketball, basketball, basketball!!! Did he draw anything or walk in the forest?
AG: Yes, he did. But the most important thing was basketball. Years later Michael said that the camp changed how he felt about basketball and his future. It was the turning point in his life.
H: That’s great! So what did the examples of your campers show?
AG: I’m sure they showed that going to a camp gave all these people a chance to understand what they really like doing. They found their future in a camp.
WS: Our idea is that it’s hard for parents to say “good-bye” to their children, but a camp can help kids to try something new, surprise their family and friends and choose their future.
H: Thank you, it was …

Unit 1, Lesson 8, Ex.2a
Tom: I like holidays, it’s sunny and warm and I can have fun and do what I love. I like my grandma Angela and I always go to visit her in summer. I can help her to look after her animals, three cats, two dogs and a horse.
Karen: Summer is always a good time to meet new people and make new friends. When I was small I went to my grandparents, but now I think it’s boring to live in the village for three months. I like summer camps. They’re fun.
Tim: I often go to summer camps in different places. But I don’t like them very much. There you can’t sleep as long as you want and do what you want any time you want. I love spending holidays at my granny and grandpa. They’re always happy to see me and I can play, run and jump all day long.
Bruce: I’m a big boy, it’s not interesting for me to go to the village. In a summer camp I can learn new things. For example, last year I learned to ride a bike and next year I’ll learn to make fire.
Sandra: In my summer camp I went on a hike, sang songs and met a lot of interesting people, for example our coordinator, Mr. Matlock. It was great!
Jenny: Summer camps are good to spend two or three weeks of your holidays. But it’s nice to go to our grandparents after. My granddad is fantastic. He goes to the river with me every day. Last year he bought a boat and we went fishing with him at night.
Unit 1, Lesson 9, Ex.1b
Four weeks ago we came here,
Me and my friend, settled down.
Now, me and my friend, we are leaving
Going back to our cities and towns.
Good-bye, my friend, good-bye.
Good-bye, my camp,
Good-bye, my camp,
Good-bye, my friend.
I hope we’ll meet again.
We were so happy, so busy
Thirty long days were such fun
Saying good-bye isn’t easy.
Thirty long days passed like one.

Have you ever visited Belarus? Mother Nature gave Belarus beautiful blue lakes, thick forests and many species of animals and plants. There are 111 species of trees and about 12,000species of plants and mushrooms in Belarus. There are fir and pine wood trees, oaks and ash- trees in Belarusian forests. Some oaks in Belovezhskaya Pushcha are from 300 to 700years old.
More than 30,000 species of animals live in the wilds of our country: elks, wild boars, deer, wolves, hares and beavers. You’ll never forget meeting a herd of European bison. This animal is one of the symbols of Belarus. Unfortunately, people have always killed wild animals uncontrollably, so many of them are in danger now. There are also about 60species of fish and 30species of birds in our republic. Belarusian lakes are rich in fish, especially LakeNaroch, where you can find eel, trout and pike. There are practically no dangerous snakes in Belarus.
Have you ever been to our national parks? In PripyatskyNational Park you can see 200moss species!
Welcome to our beautiful blue-eyed country! You will fall in love with our nature.
