Don`t Spoil Nature!

We mustn`t, exactly mustn`t spoil nature!

Who gives us such a right?

We were born by Mother-Nature not to kill her! But, it seems, we are going to...

Before the mines and factories came, and long before we went from bad to worse with our arterial roads and petrol stations and horrible brick buildings, this Planet must have been enchantment. Oh, God! How beautiful our Planet must have been!

But I, and, I hope we all want our children live in a lovely planet. It must be a planet happily compromising between Nature and Man, blending what was best worth retaining from the past with what best represents the spirit of own age!

And we really can do it! We can just not to break off branches of trees and bushes, avoid throwing litter and rubbish about, but put it in plastic bags and take it to the next place where waste is collected... It`s so simple! But if we all will follow these rules, our Planet will thank us!

Is It Hard to Be a Parent with Special Needs?

Is it hard to be a parent with special needs? 

Certainly it is.

In «I Am Sam», we can see the difficulties such parent has to face and, the most important thing, how it will be hard to retain the right to be a parent for him.

Sam Dawson is an adult with a child's intellect, but he is an incredibly kind, sincere and honest person. Even sugar packets in the coffee shop he lays out the order with such care that you believe this man loves everything on the planet. Ignorance of some educational moments Sam compensates for absolute dedication and attention to his child. Alas, the modern society is not ready to accept the idea that for successful education of a child you should just genuinely love him and give him the proper attention and care.

The film is just permeated with love, warmth, kindness, and good grief. It shows a sincere love as it should be. The point here is not in Sam`s intellect. The film tells us that everyone can love and everyone needs love. Does such feeling like love depend on the ability to multiply the number or know the names of all the U.S. presidents? No fear. Parents give moral education and ideas of goodness, evil, honesty and compassion. And all this things Sam has taught his beloved daughter.

This film shows us how it hard to be a good parent, but that it`s possible. Even if you are an adult with a child's intellect.

"I Did Knock"

It`s a great fairy tale for children, which makes us believe in magic and offers us to take a part in a short journey into the life of a large family, which also lacked a bit of magic...

The owner of funeral Mr. Brown is a widower and a having many children… oh, well, a having very many children father. Seven restless unruly offsprings are always driving him crazy by ugly hooligan pranks.  And I must say, they cope with it quite well – a demoralized father, himself almost a child, looks like mad, thinks bad, and during attacks of melancholy talking to an empty chair.

Also there are female servants in the story. The maid Evangeline and the cook Blezervik get a lot more from little devils. They resist desperately, but two people cannot resist to a gang of little varmints. After all, none of the seventeen nannies, who were hired by Mr. Brown, didn`t deal with them. And no one else wants to work for Browns. But, one day in the late evening ...

Late one evening, a new nanny knocked on the door - Nanny McPhee: ugly, with an ugly protruding tooth, warts and a big nose, leaning on the curve (and of course, magic) stick. She would look quite repulsive if not a wise, insightful and thoughtful look. With her appearance there is everything has changed in the house. But the children are very unhappy. Now, any their prank harms to themselves.

«When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go». This Nanny McPhee`s main phrase causes a children protest: Never! Never such ugly, breaking their fun and uncontrolled freedom, she would be desirable. And of course, they're wrong.

Nanny McPhee says her aim is to teach the children five lessons. They are to say "Thank you" and "Please", go to to bed and to get up when them told and to listen to others attentively. During learning these lessons, the children will have to grow up very quickly - they will realize that their family, its unity, is very important for them, but that it is in a very precarious position. The father is deep in debt, and they can be sent to an asylum, if they cannot cope with their selfishness and accept what they fear the most - the evil stepmother. At the same time as they get rid of their inner ugliness, the Nanny is changing in appearance and turning from a witch into a fairy. Because, only overcoming the evil in yourself, you can see the true beauty.

The Project!

Yesterday I was asked a very interesting in my opinion project, which combines tourism, educational activity and of course the language practice. Now I won`t reveal the details, only say that I am very interested in it and hope the project is destined for success.

Well, this video is a small key to the plot.

With Love, Kate!

My First Acting Experience

For many years, my mother worked as a music teacher in a kindergarten. And when I was 11, my mother asked me to play the role of Tsarevna Never-a-Smile at the children's Christmas matinee. I do not know why it was up to me to play this role, but I was very pleased. 

For two weeks I learned the text and we rehearsed it every evening. And then came a day of the dress rehearsal with other actors. Everything was well until the time I should sing. The music started, but I didn`t dare to say a word. I felt fear and embarrassment. But my fear had nothing to do with the fear of the stage. It was the fear that my mother will fill disappoint for me rather than the fear of the stage. I do not really remember what happened next, but I performed well. Before I started to sing  there was only one phrase: "Right now," in my head and then I started. The matinee went well and everyone liked it. And I am very glad that I had a chance to try myself as an actress.

I'll never forget my first acting experience.
