Anna's "Characters" Excursion

There are many aspects why I chose Daphne as my favourite character.

She got over the difficulties.She's a poor girl, she got acquainted with a wealthy Englishman, Maxim de Winter. Daphne wanted to make a success of new life and above all to make Max happy. But when she was sitting in arm-chair it occured to her that she wasn't the first one to sit there in that one.

She was sure that people were curious and wanted to criticize her manners, figure, compare her to Rebecca.
Certainly, Daphne made the mistakes. She broke Rebecca's wedding present, she wore the same dress like Rebecca at the last fancy dress ball at Manderley. After it Max was angry. He thought  that she had done it deliberately. Mrs. Danvers hated Daphne. She said that Daphne tried to take Rebecca's place.

Max said that he had killed his first wife. Rebecca wasn't drowned. It was Rebecca who's lying dead there on the cabin floor. But Daphne stayed with him. She didn't want to listen to Max's evidence.
In the end, they wanted to get home. They'll be back to Manderley.

Also, I'd like to say some aspects about Daphne's life:

Daphne's love for Max made her to stay with him in a trouble time. She loved him genuinely. Daphne liked the idea of going to Manderley. She disliked Mrs. Danvers's a cold look. She looked after Max. Daphne didn't feel herself comfortable in Rebecca's house. Max seemed to love his first wife, but it wasn't so. Daphne's behaviour was worthy of great praise. She was stuck by news about Rebecca's killing. She stood with horror- stricken. It seemed to Daphne that she was hardly ever able to win Rebecca. Daphne was afraid that Mrs. Danvers might spoil her life with Max if she always said about Rebecca. Mrs. Danvers's behaviour got on Daphne's nerves. Daphne turned out a strong girl. Daphne's appearance excited everybody's interest at Manderley. I think Mrs. Danvers didn't have got to treat Daphne so cruelly.

Anna's"Narrative 2"

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

The little girl was walking the forest alone when she saw a cave.
Suddenly she noticed the green being with hair. It was very the Grinch.
She heard him crying and his groanings, and he saw her.
So then she learned of his plans and tried to persuade from it.
Eventually the day of vengeance came.
According to this plan, the Grinch dressed in Santa Claus and even come into the first house.
He insisted that the inhabitants had been rude and impolite, they had been happier than he.
The girl said that the Grinch liked Christmas and loved the people in the deep of heart, whereas he said that the inhabitants had expelled him.
She was absolutely certain that the Grinch had stolen Christmas because of loneliness and envy.
The girl mentioned the fact that Christmas wasn't only gifts, but it was the family holiday and the mood of the soul.
She didn't mention anything about it that the state of holiday the people create it themselves, because they must understand it.


Based on the classic story

Anna's "Narrative 1"Excursion

Paris story

There is a saying that if you want smth to know and to be done well, do it yourself. So, the friends - Kate and  Maria were following this wise saying. I must tell this story now.

They decided to go to Paris without their parents. But the parents were against the trip. Maria had told them that she had the brother - Tom and it would be no problem.

The trouble is that her brother had left for Madrid. He couldn't meet their there. The girls were standing in airport. They couldn't  help noticing that the other people saw them strangely. Because they weren't dressed and weren't speaking like they. Unfortunately, Kate had lost the money. She claimed that she had been looking for everywhere, but she couldn't find them.

The girls had met Aaron, who helped them. He was a student. He brought up the both to their hotel.
He said that he was shocked when he saw the little girls among the street in the latest evening. He had many businesses, but he decided to help them.

As I said, if you want smth to know, do it yourself. But it wasn't right in this case. These girls were very young in order to travel without the parents. Finally, the girls had arrived home. But there are many bad stories when the children didn't come back home.

In conclusion, everyone must think many time before they do smth. Anyway, every person has a right of choice.

Anna's "UK Independent Schools" Excursion

Eton College is one of the best known schools in the world. Americans think of colleges as small universities. Colleges in most of the rest of the world are secondary schools, as is Eton College, albeit a prestigious one. This school has produced a different famous people Sir Robert Walpole, Thomas Grey, Robert Halley.

As for me, I think private schools are very effective. But these schools have a major disadvantage. It's their cost. Since they aren't funded by tax dollars, they've 10 change tution. The average yearly tution cost for a private secondary school can be around 6,500 Euro.

On the other hand, private schools have a good quality of education so people say. I consider that the quality of education depends on the school. I don't see the difference between state school and private. Actually, the schools must have good teachers and bright pupils, I think so. Private schools can create their own curriculum which may be an advantage or disadvantage depending on our personal viewpoints.

I like that private school has many opportunities for schoolers. Teachers may be look after every child, because they must follow for their behaviour. I think these schools have large libraries, classes, swimming pools. Teachers get a good wages. I don't like high payment for education.

I'd like to send my child to the state school because I want what will best for his. I want the very best education he will able to possibly receive. And guess what – it will all free! I wouldn't send my children to private school if I had the money.

Anna's "Survey" Excursion

"...Feel" Excursion

1. One thing that really frightens me is when I see the spiders and snakes. They look so disgusting. But people eat snakes in some countries. One reason perhaps that people might  are more likely to try the delicacy.

2. Another thing that really embarrasses me is when I spill or damage smth. It isn't well. And people say: " There's no point in getting upset about it or Don't worry. It doesn't matter." But I know that it isn't so. It sounds so hypocritically.

3. I hate it when people complain about excess weight, but they do nothing in order to discrease it. There's a low - fat diet. It's beneficial physical exercise. It will be good for their waistline.

4. It really annoys me when people criticize other people. It isn't right. They've many shortcomings, but they don't notice it.

5. Mother's smile makes me very happy. A smile costs nothing, but gives much. When people have depression, unhappy, lonely or they've problems in their relationship, lack of confidence in what they're doing, they should smile, because it the one thing is cure for these people. If you give a smile other people, you'll be the happiest person in the whole world.

Songs in my life

http://www.watch-americanidol.net/

I've chosen this song because it's very positive.I thought it is anthem of my life. It helps me to fight and never walk away and give up. Every person can go higher or can go deeper,there are no boundaries. They can break every rule because their's nothing between they and their dreams. When I've any difficult I listen to this song.

Anna's "Cafe" Excursion

It was awesome excursion! Many people were happy in it. The children were playing in the playground. If I were a child, I would watch  the cartoon with them.

We had to go to the cash, because it isn't restaurant, and it's Bakers. There are booklets on every tables. I read  many interesting facts about this Bakers. Maybe it's advertisement for people in order to attract many visitors.

It was a comfortable and cosy atmosphere. But the loud music got on my nerves. Such meetings don't occur every day, because people don't have enough time. But we could afford such meeting on week-ends. I enjoyed myself at there.

"How we kept my birthday" Excursion

Birthday is a very wonderful day. Everybody likes to celebrate it. It's a good opportunity to spend time with close friends, parents, relatives.

Usually we hold my birthday party in the evening. in the morning of birthday party day my father and mother go shopping and buy everything we need. My mother bakes a cake or a pie.
By the evening food is cooked, the table is laid. We put on evening suits and dresses and wait for the guests. The flat looks nice and cosy.
I'm always very glad to meet my guests. I like to get flowers and presents.Mom brings in the birthday cake. I blow the candles out. We dance and sing songs, play games and laugh, joke, tell funny stories.

I think that my birthday is one of the best days in a year.

Anna's "Grammar Tenses" Excursion

It was our first excursion. Because of this it, we learnt verbs, tenses etc. We had a good time. At that time, The Pagoda was being decorated by the workes. I like the way they work.  The people were sitting on the benches. If we had a lot of time, we would go to the Park "Friendship".

Anna's Favourite Place Excursion

My favourite place is Park "Friendship". Why do I love this place? I like this park, because it's quiet, calm, wonderful place. Many people gather by the statue of Buddha. This place attracts crowds of visitors from abroad every year. A lot of sport competitions happen in Park "Friendship". There're many green trees, flower-beds, benches, monuments, statues there. Our park is smaller than Hyde Park, certainly. But it's very comfortable and nice. The old people come to it in order to talk with other people, breath with a fresh air, and rest from city bustle.
A lot of children, young and old people should gathered in park If we had had a river or many different attractions. If I were a tourist I'd take many photos by the monuments and visit "Immortal Fire".And If I were a foreign student I'd talk my friends from my country about this park.

ANNA'S "Life Circle" Excursion

The excursion was fine! We're talking about our childhood, favourite places, important events, dates. All stories were interesting and exciting. I've known many facts from life of other people.We've  understood  the most important things such as we must help our relatives in any situation, nevertheless how difficult it's. Don't forgive  our friends, to support one another and  to solve all the problems together.
As I've said before,  the excursion was good, but the weather was dull. The wind was too cold. Because it's  usual autumn now.But it isn't main.

ANNA'S "LONDON" EXCURSION

The excursion was so wonderful! We're driven in the excursion train. I felt myself like a child:) The weather was overcast. I think,it's symbolic. So the English say "Other countries have a climate,in England we have weather " . It happens because the weather changes more often than in other countries.
We're talking with each other about sights of London. But,also we're discussing our city. For example, London has the largest university. But we have the main university too. It's Kalmyk State University. Many students of other countries study in it.
I've known many interesting facts and history this city.Then i can say London is an ancient city.This city has long history of foundation.It's one of the famous capital cities of the world,and every year attracts crowds of visitors from home and abroad.There are many nice squares in London. Trafalgar Square is one of them and it's in the centre of the West End.
There're many museams, libraries and galleries in London.The famous clock is situated there.Big Ben is really the bell which strikes every quarter of an hour.
In conclusion I should say if you're lucky enough to find yourself in London some day you'll have a lot to see and enjoy there.

Anna's "Dreams" Excursion

September 14. "Dreams" Excursion

Daphne is simple and usual girl.She has a short,straight hair.She wears teenage clothes.But she's dreamful girl.Daphne dreamt about Manderley.She imagined a huge estate,beautiful rose garden,lilac in bloom.She walked like enhanted in the garden.She felt like supernatural powers helped her to jump through gates.

Daphne liked a fresh air in Manderley.Also,she wanted to make friends with good and kind people there.

The weather was always so fine in her dreams.The blue clouds spread over her head.Her ears listened singing of birds.

But she knew the reality wasn't so.Daphne hated Mrs.Van Hopper, because her curiosity was a disease, almost a mania.Sometimes she would employ Daphne as a bait.She was a terrible woman.And when Daphne was so tired,she plunged in her fantastic dreams.So she was so happy girl in the whole world.
