7. Конкурс капитанов.

Captains, are you ready to compete? Will you listen to a story and practice yourself in drawing the main characters? We’d like to know if you are able to retell the story. The beginnings of the sentences are in one box and the endings are in the second box. Good luck.

One day a fox met a tiger in the forest. The tiger rushed at the fox ready to tear him to pieces. But the fox was not frightened. He said to the tiger, “Don’t think you are the strongest animal in the forest. It is true that I am smaller than you, but people are less afraid of you then you are afraid of me. I can prove it to you now. Come with me to the road where the people pass by. I’ll walk in front of you and you’ll see that they run away as soon as they see me. After that you can tear me to pieces”.

The tiger agreed and they went to the road. Not long afterwards a group of travelers came along the road. As soon as they saw the tiger walking behind the fox they ran away terrified.

“Do you believe me now?” asked the fox. The silly tiger was so frightened that he didn’t reply. He ran back into the forest. He really believed that the fox was a terrible dangerous animal.

11. Конкурс “в храме природы”.

Try to create a short essay about your attitude to nature. Do you consider that our nature a church is?

How I help the world.

The problem of ecology is important in our country. There are a lot of children who take care of the environment.

Our family is responsible for nature. We think that our environment is a church. We ought to behave ourselves properly and believe in God. The God created the world we live in. We must protect it as we are part of our beautiful nature.

In winter my father and I build bird’s houses. Every day I feed birds. In spring we plant trees and flowers. My mother grows beautiful tulips and daffodils, roses and poppies. I hate people who destroy the beauty of our nature, break baby-plants and pull out flowers. I want to be the kid who saves the world.

A summer sunny day. I looked out of the window and saw beautiful flowers. I run quickly to the flower-garden to admire them. I was only 5 years. I haven’t seen these flowers before in the garden. They were nice pink, white, red, yellow and even purple and black. I touched one flower and it pricked my finger, because it was sharp. I was near tears, it was rather painful. The flower looked at me and bowed its head. It was ashamed, I think.

Soon my mother came into the garden. She comforted me and explained that I shouldn’t touch the roses but mustn’t forget to take care of them. We became friends with roses. I run home, took a glass of water and watered the rose which bowed its head. It seemed that it thanked me.
