  On the 25th of December millions of Catholics all around the world celebrate Christmas. However, heavy snowfall throughout parts of France, Germany, Spain and Poland has caused dangerous driving conditions and transport disruptions. Famous landmarks were covered in snow in Paris and Berlin , while Warsaw's temperatures plummeted 10 degrees below centigrade. 
   Europe saw the heaviest snowfall in 17 years in the last 4 days. London Heathrow Airport had to scrap flights for the fourth day due to the snow in Europe that is making weather conditions impossible for flights to take off or land.
  Tens of thousands of people have been waiting to get home or go on vacation for Christmas since the weekend. Europe’s busiest airport, Heathrow has been affected the most in terms of flights and number of passengers stranded. London Heathrow Airport operated at one-third of its capacity due to the heavy snow.
  More snow fell in different parts of Europe this morning and Frankfurt airport was closed down.
  Due to the current weather situation in many parts of Europe, delays and cancellations of flights may force many people to meet Christmas at airports or railway stations.

My dear friends!
As you know, there was a two-week checkout at our school. Anyhow it has influenced teachers and students' lives. In what way? Has it changed anything? What results are going to be?

Well, you weren't very inventive and just found the right answer. Anyway, it was our first attempt.

Now I suggest an article for you to share your ideas on the topic.

President: Ukrainian language will continue consolidating society President Viktor Yanukovych expressed confidence that the Ukrainian language as a precious asset of the people will remain a consolidating force of the society. He said this in his congratulatory message to the compatriots on the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language. "The Ukrainian language is the soul of the nation, the greatest spiritual treasure that we inherited from our ancestors," the press service of the head of state reported citing the message.

What do you think about the place of Russian language in our country?Should it become the second state language or not? Why?

Cannibal Fruit

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial.

The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw ... What did he see?
