How to prepare your child for successful participation in a competition
1. Take a poem whose meaning and words are clear to the child, a poem that he likes. Children love poems with dialogue or first-person narration.
2. Take a short poem from one to four quatrains. It's better to be short, BUT bright. The length of the poem is not assessed and does not give additional points to the contestant.
3. Performances where you can convey the character of the hero and have emotions look winning.
4. Learn the poem in advance so that the contestant has a good command of the text and does not forget it even in a moment of excitement. The duration of preparation, according to experience, takes about three weeks.
The first week we learn the text and tell it with expression.
The second week we talk with a microphone (use a dummy: comb, tablespoon). You can add musical accompaniment (pick a melody without words and play it on a tape recorder).
The third week we add rehearsals in stage costume. You can invite your child to recite a poem in front of a mirror, this is what real artists do.
Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!!!
See you in the auditorium!
×"To possess a second language means having a second soul" (Charlemagne)
Let me introduce myself. I’m_______, I am Russian. My mother language is Russian which is considered to be one of the richest but the most difficult languages in the world. Russian language has a large vocabulary. Moreover, there are many synonyms that greatly enrich the language. So we can totally exactly and clearly express your personal feelings and thoughts. I’m sure, by learning Russian literature, history and language culture, I’m creating my First Soul.
While learning a foreign language, I realized that it’s a very complicated but fascinating and exciting process. For example, let's take English. It is a bit easier on its structure than Russian, but English is beautiful and laconic as well. You would never understand it if you don’t dive deep into the language’s knowledge. Sure, you can tell that our life consists of only a job and the “net” of friends where anyone hardly speaks English. It seems - you don’t need this knowledge. But you're mistaken. Just begin learning the history of England and its language then you will defiantly feel how your Second Soul is creating!
In my opinion, the Second Soul appears only when you study the culture and plunge headlong in the traditions of the English-speaking country. Let's assume that the
Second Soul
appears only if you start thinking in this foreign language feeling both formal and informal atmosphere. Only in this way you"re getting closer to the Native speakers possessing skills and deep understanding of the traditions, details and standards of the foreign culture. It goes without saying, language environment and constant communication with native speakers are necessary conditions for the appearance of a personal
Second Soul.
I'm totally sure that n
owadays the knowledge of a foreign language is increasingly important ‘cause it helps people in the world get a better understanding. So, in my opinion, it’s extremely necessary!
This means that with the knowledge of every new language and every new culture we discover another
soul
which enriches personal identity over and over again. As for me, I would also like to develop myself during the adult life and find the same multifaceted
Soulmates to come together & join our souls.
Why not?
"Knowledge is a treasure that everywhere follows the one who possesses it" (Chinese proverb)
Knowledge is “the state of awareness or understanding gained from experience or study…learning specific information about something. Soknowledge stands for information about the world and understanding of what a human being gained through learning and experience. According to Francis Bacon`s words knowledge makes people able to promote and control human progress.
At home we have a lot of modern equipment, like smartphone, we can't use it without knowledge. At work place, have a great knowledge can help us to success. For entertiment, internet or many communicate tips should under knowledge.
But ,in my opoinin,practice is the key to knowledge .As we know ,knowledge comes from ancestors" wise .But how did they know that? From practice ! Everything should practice many times before they were punished.In china ,we named" bookcase" as a person who just read,like zhaokuo.Thousand years ago,there were two countries in war.At that time a man famous in his great knowledge in warcraft.But in the end,he was fail in the war.He just know it how to practice it. From that story we can know: knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
I agree that knowledge is a great treasure that accompanies its owner everywhere.
To begin with, intelligent and well-informed man is successful person. Knowledge has an influence on our life. On twenty first century knowledge have a first position in the world.
It builds our lookout and fixes condition in society. Clever person always find enter in different situation. Moreover, intelligent man tries to improve himself. That person is usually rich and famous.
"To a worthy goal, no short cuts." (Helen Keller)
I have a dream, a song to sing. To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale. You can take the future even if you fail
The truth is that goals accomplished through taking shortcuts are never quite as gratifying as those obtained through hard work, persistence and dedication. When you know you have earned your success through sheer effort, a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment can be found.
Nowadayswe are always looking for the quickest way to do anything. It would be great to be able to accomplish every goalyou have swiftly. However this way isthe pushing throughdisappointmentsandfailureswhich teaches youdetermination. It’s the consistency of taking action day in and day out, that teaches youself-disciplineanddedication. Believe me, much experience you should haveto achieve your goals that will make the biggest impact on your life. Those benefits are the ones that far outweigh any immediate effect from any single goal.Thoseresults obtained fromhard workandstruggle, along the uneven roadsuccess, which buildsself-confidenceandself-esteem
I have a dream, a fantasy to help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
The lessons of life needed for personal growth, all lie on the road paved byhard work.Hard work will be rewarded! Have you ever been a success? As for me, I have! So now I can state thattrue success does not happen overnight, it’s a road paved by mastery. The road to accomplishing your goals and dreams will be a long and bumpy one, but don’t get discouraged by that fact. Stay patient,staypersistent,staypositive, and most of all enjoy the journey! Accomplishing your goals and dreams through hard work will make everyone feel satisfied."There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." This Helen Keller's quote really speaks to the heart.
I believe in angels - Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels - When I know the time is right for me
I"ll cross the stream - I have a dream, I"ll cross the stream - I have a dream
