Kolomyia Gymnasium Епоха незалежного оцінювання вимагає від сучасної школи нових підходів до викладання іноземної мови. Підготовка учня до такого серйозного іспиту вимагає неабиякого креативу від учителя. Уже починаючи з початкової школи, учні повинні накопичувати свій словниковий арсенал, знайомитися з різноманітними видами тестових завдань у різних видах діяльності - чи то сприйняття на слух, чи то робота з невідомим текстом, чи то граматичні вправи-тести, чи то підбір синонімів / антонімів… Закони словотворення теж допоможуть у майбутньому не розгубитися у безкрайньому морі лексики. Ситуативне мовлення дозволяє учням висловлювати свою думку, навіть якщо і хибну. І тільки мудре поєднання будь-яких підходів до вивчення мови допоможе учневі висловити на папері своє розуміння тієї чи іншої крилатої фрази, які і є лейтмотивом запропонованих казок. Чому казки? А тому, що ми всі родом із дитинства… Підбірка казок складена так, щоб політ у вир казки не затьмарювався пошуком незнайомих слів. А якщо раптом хтось хоче перевірити правильність виконання того чи іншого завдання, то можна скористатися відповідями. Збагатять ваш кругозір і крилаті вислови, які запропоновані вам у Writing Tasks. Підбірка найпопулярніших казок перенесе не тільки учнів 6 -7 класів шкіл із поглибленим вивченням англійської мови у ще таке близьке їм дитинство, але і стане віддушиною для дорослої аудиторії, яка так і не спішить розлучатися з ним.

Tales of My Childhood
Daria Pertsovych Kolomyia Gymnasium
Long ago in a kingdom far away, a princess was born to a happy king and queen. Three good fairies were invited to bless the child. Flora gave Aurora the gift of beauty. Fauna gave her the gift of song. Then the evil sorceress Maleficent appeared. She was very angry that she was not invited. "Oh, it is a shame that you are not happy to see me," she said. "There was no invitation. I thought that was a mistake. Well, never mind, I have a gift for the child. She will grow in beauty and grace, but on her sixteenth birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die."
The fairies said Aurora could live with them in the woods and be safe. After her sixteenth birthday she would come home. When that day finally came, the fairies sent Aurora into the woods to pick some berries so they could surprise her with a party. As Aurora walked along, she sang. A handsome young man was riding through the forest and heard her.
The fairies hurried to find Aurora, but they were too late. She had fallen into a deep sleep. Only True Love's Kiss could awaken her. Then, the fairies remembered the young man Aurora had met in the woods. They were sure Aurora loved him. Casting a spell, the good fairies had everyone sleep until they found Aurora's true love. Before falling asleep, the prince's father said his son was in love with a girl he had met. Remembering what Aurora said, the fairies understood. Prince Phillip was Aurora's true love! Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather hurried out to look for the prince. They found him prisoner in Maleficent's castle and set him free, giving him the Shield of Virtue and the Sword of Truth. Maleficent turned herself into a dragon and charged toward the prince. The dragon forced the prince out on the edge of a cliff. He had nowhere to go, but he could not fall. He had to save Aurora. He threw his enchanted sword into the dragon's heart. The dragon roared in pain.
That night there was a ball. Aurora and the prince danced for a long time. The two fathers watched for a while. Then they started to plan a royal wedding.

Cinderella Once there was a kind and gentle girl named Cinderella. Everyone loved her, even the mice in the hall and the birds in the garden. Cinderella’s stepmother pretended to be kind, but she was lazy and mean. Her step-sisters were mean and lazy, too. Poor Cinderella had to do all of the cooking, sewing, and cleaning. One day, Cinderella was sweeping. She heard a knock on the door. "Open in the name of the King!" someone called. She hurried to the door. It was a messenger. He gave her a big white envelope. It said that every maiden in the kingdom was invited to a ball. The mean Stepmother said Cinderella could go IF she finished her work.
"Oh, and of course you will need a ball gown," she added.
She thought Cinderella would not be able to find one. Cinderella did find a gown. It had been her mother's. It was pretty, but old. While Cinderella was finishing her work, the birds and the mice fixed the dress using sashes and ribbons the stepsisters had thrown away. When her stepsisters saw Cinderella's gown, they were angry. They tore off the sashes. The gown was ruined. Cinderella sat down in the garden and cried. Her Fairy Godmother came to help. She waved her wand. A pumpkin became a fine coach. Cinderella's mice friends became four white horses.
Cinderella's old shoes became sparkling glass slippers.
The Fairy Godmother said the spell would end at the last stroke of twelve. Everything would change back into what it had been before. She told Cinderella she had to be back before midnight. The Prince did hot like any of the girls he met at the ball. Then he saw Cinderella. He walked right by the stepsisters, who were bowing to him. He asked Cinderella to dance. She said yes. They danced and danced. Cinderella was very happy. Then she heard the clock chime. It was the first stroke of midnight! "I must go," she said. She ran out the door and down the steps. One of her glass slippers fell off. The Prince and the Grand Duke ran after her. The Grand Duke found the slipper that she had left behind. When the clock struck twelve, the spell was broken. The coach, horses, and ball gown were gone, but Cinderella still had her glass slipper. She also had happy memories of the ball. The Prince did not know Cinderella's name. The slipper she had lost his only clue. He promised to marry the girl whose foot fit the shoe.
The wicked Stepmother had locked Cinderella up in her room, but she got out. She came to the top of the stairs. She asked to try on the slipper. "Yes, come down. Every maiden must try on the slipper," the Grand Duke said. Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper. It fit perfectly. She had always known it would. The mean Stepmother and her daughters were very angry. Cinderella and the Grand Duke went to the palace together. The Prince was happy to see Cinderella
again.

Comment on the proverb:
“Every man is the architect of his own fortune”
Beauty and the Beast
Once there was a pretty girl named Belle. She loved to read and dream. A hunter named Gaston wanted to marry her, but she did not like him. She dreamed of someday meeting a handsome prince. Belle's father was an inventor. He was always trying to make things. One day her father showed Belle a wonderful new invention. "I will take it to the fair tomorrow," he said. "I know you will win first prize," Belle said. Just then there was a big BOOM. It came from the invention. "It just needs a little more work," her father said. Her father worked hard to fix his invention. The next day it was ready, so he started off for the fair. He got lost in the woods. There were wild animals. The horse was afraid of them. It threw the old man off of its back. Then it ran away with the cart. Belle found the horse and cart. Her father was not with them. "You must take me to Papa," she said to the horse. She climbed up on its back. Thick fog filled the woods making it hard to see. Wild animals growled all around, but she rode on. At last she saw a castle. Belle went into the castle. Her father was locked up.
An ugly Beast in a cape appeared. "I found this man in my castle," the Beast said. "Now he is my prisoner." "Please let him go. I will stay in his place," Belle said.
The Beast made Belle promise to stay with him forever. After letting her father go, the Beast led Belle to her room.
Over time Belle learned that the Beast was not really mean. He was gentle and sweet. One night she danced with him. Then Belle told the Beast that she missed her father. She had to go home. The Beast did not stop her. Back at home, Belle took care of her father. Gaston came to visit them. He asked Belle to marry him. She said no. Gaston got angry. He could tell that Belle's heart belonged to the Beast. He convinced the villagers that the Beast was dangerous. Belle and her father rode through the woods as fast as they could. Belle did not want anyone to get hurt. When they got to the castle, Belle saw Gaston and the Beast. They were out on a high balcony. Gaston was raising his bow. He shot the Beast with an arrow.
The Beast saw Belle standing there. He picked Gaston up by the neck. "Let me go!" said Gaston. The Beast put Gaston down and told him to go. Gaston did not go. He stabbed the Beast in the back. The Beast roared in pain. Gaston stepped back. He slipped and fell off the balcony. The Beast lay in Belle's arms. He was dying. "You came back," he said. "I got to see you once more." "No! Do not die," said Belle. "I love you." Then something strange and wonderful happened.
Belle and the Prince danced together. "I am so happy," said the Prince.

Write a passage interpreting the proverb:
“The true nature of heart is seen in its response to the unattractive”. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Then one day it gave a different answer. It said Snow White was the most beautiful. The Queen was very angry. She called her Huntsman. She held out a box to him. "You must take Snow White into the forest and do away with her. Put her heart in this box and bring it back to me," she said. The Huntsman told Snow White that the Queen wanted her to pick some wildflowers for the table. The princess sang as she went into the woods with him. She ran here and there to pick flowers. Even if it meant giving up his own life, the Huntsman realized that he could not hurt her.
Kneeling down before her he said, "Princess, the Queen is jealous of your beauty. She wanted me to kill you. You must run away. You must never come back."
She started to cry. Birds and animals came out to see her. She felt better when she saw them.
"Is there a place where I could sleep?" she asked. They led her to a little house in a clearing. There was no one home, but the sink was full of dirty dishes. There were seven little chairs and seven little beds. Snow White thought seven children lived in the house. "Poor little things, they must not have a mother," she said. Snow White liked to help. She swept and dusted, washed and scrubbed until everything was clean. Then she went upstairs and fell asleep. When she woke up, a lot of little men were staring at her. She told them dinner was almost ready. They would have to wash their hands before they ate. Every one of the Seven Dwarfs did. The soup smell led good, and they were very hungry. After they ate, they sang and danced. Then Snow White told a story. It was about the prince of her dreams. In her room at the palace, the Queen asked, "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" The Mirror said Snow White was still alive.
That made the Queen very angry. She mixed up a pot of poison. She dipped
a pretty red apple into it. She put the poisoned apple in a basket. Then
the wicked Queen dressed up as an old peddler woman and set
off the woods to find Snow White. Snow White took just one bite of the apple and fell to the floor. Snow White's animal friends had seen the old woman coming. They did not trust her. They went to get the Seven Dwarfs. The Dwarfs ran fast as they could. They got to the house just as the wicked Queen was leaving. They saw her running away. The Dwarfs chased the Queen through the woods, and out onto a high, narrow ledge.
When the Dwarfs came back home, they found Snow White. She was still beautiful. She seemed to be asleep. They made a bed of gold for her. They put it in the woods.
Soon the Prince of a nearby kingdom heard about the girl in the forest. He came to see her for himself. When he did, he fell in love. She was the most beautiful girl he had seen in his life. He bent down and kissed Snow White, and the wicked Queen's spell was broken. Snow White was very happy. She had dreamed this handsome prince would ride into her life. She knew the two of them would be together always. She thanked the Seven Dwarfs for their help. She kissed every one of them and waved good-bye.

Write a short paragraph explaining the proverb:
“Appearences deceitful”.
The Little Mermaid
Once there was a Little Mermaid named Ariel. She was tired of living under the sea. Sometimes she swam up to the top of the water, even though her father did not like her to. Ariel wondered about the world above the sea. "I love new things. I want to see more of them," Ariel said.
One man asked the prince when he would marry. "Oh, the right girl is out there somewhere, just haven't found her, yet" the prince said. Just then, a storm came up. Big waves tossed the ship from side to side. Prince Eric fell into the water. Ariel pulled him to the shore.
She left before he could see her. When her father, King Triton, found out what Ariel had done, he was very angry. He told her to stay away from human beings, but Ariel loved Prince Eric. The evil sea witch, Ursula, was the only one who could help. Ariel went to see her. "I know what you want," Ursula said. "I will make you human if you give me your voice." Ariel thought about it. "Oh, and one more thing," said Ursula. "If Prince Eric does not kiss you in three days, you are mine!" "So, will you give me your voice?" Ursula asked. "Yes, I will," Ariel said. As soon as she spoke, Ariel had human legs. She could not swim.
Her friends helped her to shore. When Prince Eric found Ariel, he did not know who she was. "Can you speak?" he asked. She shook her head. The next day, Prince Eric showed her around the kingdom. They went for a boat ride. Eric leaned over to kiss Ariel.
The evil Ursula sent her pet eels out to the boat. The two eels swam around the boat. They swam under it. The eels were big and the boat was small. On the third day, Ursula changed herself into a pretty girl. The girl had Ariel's voice in a shell. She wore the shell on a ribbon around her neck. When Prince Eric heard that voice, he forgot all about the real Ariel. He could not help himself. He asked the girl to marry him. Ariel's sea friends found out what Ursula had done. They all went up to the ship.
The shell broke. Ariel could speak again. She told Prince Eric who she was. He did not have time to kiss her before the sun went down. Ariel turned back into a mermaid. The evil Ursula took Ariel down into the sea. An old ship appeared in the battle that followed. Prince Eric jumped off the ship and fought Ursula. He saved Ariel. But Prince Eric could not stay in the sea with her. He had to breathe air to live.
Ariel was safe under the sea, but she was not happy. She and Prince Eric could never be together. Her father, King Triton, loved Ariel very much. He did not want her to be sad. He made Ariel human again. Prince Eric was very glad to see her. They were married right away.
