4-B Speaking

  SPRING

I love spring. It is a wonderful season. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with fresh green grass and the first spring flowers. 

Birds sing and build their nests. The air is fresh and the sun shines brightly.

The weather is warm and everything is full of life and joy. 

Children like to play outdoors. Families go to the parks to have picnics.

In spring we can go to the country and have a walk in the woods or by the river.

We have a lot of holidays in spring: Women's Day, April Fool's Day, Easter, May Day, Mother's Day and Victory Day, That is why spring is my favourite season.

SUMMER

 Summer is a beautiful season. Everything is green. You can see flowers everywhere. The sun shines brightly in the blue sky. The weather is fine. 

Children in Ukraine don’t go to school in summer because they have summer holidays. They travel a lot. They visit different cities and countries and make new friends.  Some children go to the sea or to the river with their parents. It’s a great pleasure to swim in a hot summer day.

Children like to spend their time in camps. They have a lot of fun there.

 Many children prefer to visit their grandparents in the country. They work in the gardens and look after farm animals. Summer is full of adventures! It is the best season of the year!

MY SCHOOL

 My name  is  …  I am a pupil of the fourth form. I go to school number 13. My school is situated in the center of the town. It is not very big. More than 3 hundred pupils study at my school.

 My teacher’s name is …  She is very kind/strict/nice/clever.  Usually we have 5 lessons a day. We study Math, Ukrainian, Reading, English, Nature Study, Computer Studies, Music, Art, PE and Handicraft.

We have English 4 times a week. At our English lessons we speak English, read texts, do exercises, sing songs  and play games. Sometimes we have tests and dictations.

 There is a nice library and a big gym in my school. I think, it is the best school of our town.

VICTORY DAY

 In Ukraine and other countries Victory Day, or 9th May, is one of the greatest holidays of the year. In all towns there are decorations and flags in the streets, in the shop windows and on large buildings.  On Victory Day morning there are meetings and demonstrations of the veterans.    

On that day there is a military parade in all big cities of our country.

There are a lot of people in the streets and squares. They all celebrate the holiday. Many people go to see their friends or go for walks in the parks.

In the evening there is a holiday salute and a minute of silence to remember all those who did not come back from the war.
