10.10.2020. Culturestudy Lesson 6 Theme: Portrait of a british family. Family traditions and values. Read the text and answer the questions Family The average British family has classically been understood as a nuclear family with their extended family living separately. However, today the archetypical family (husband, wife and children) can no longer be the exact social expectation. In the UK, one in three people is a step-parent, step-child, adult step-child, step-sibling or step-grandparent. According to the Office for National Statistics, more children are being raised in single parent households. Also, as the stigma associated with premarital intercourse has diminished, the number of unwed mothers has increased. Families are increasingly incorporating LGBTQI + relationships. As such, children of same-sex couples are becoming more common. However, while the traditional archetypal British family structure is no longer an expected cultural standard, the f...

School of Tomorrow. English. 10D, 11D. 01.02.2022 Topic: Degrees of Comparison of adjectives Study the theory block and do the task: Since our early childhood, we keep on comparing things, people, feelings, tastes, kisses, etc. This comes natural. “My mom is prettier than yours”, “Your shoes are cheaper than mine”, “I can jump higher than you” - we always wanted to be the best, didn't we?

Example: We live in the biggest house on the block. (Ми живе...
School of Tomorrow. Word Building. 10D, 11D 18.02.2022 Topic: The role of prefixes and suffixes Study the theory block and do the task: Grammaticalization is not only something that creates a word, it is also what creates most prefixes and suffixes. How could someone not knowing any language, figure out what that first language was going to be? A close-up of the word 'prefix' in a dictionary. Prefixes and Suffixes If someone doesn’t know anything about English, French, or Spanish, and tries to figure out how the first language would be, would they stick endings on “I speak”? How likely is it that they would say, “I speak” and then stick something at the end? “Yo hablo,” “Tú hablas,” “You speak.” English speakers are used to dealing with that when learning other languages. Endings in a language start out as free-swimming words, kludging on to another word and wearing away. They’re like the male anglerfish, becoming just a bump in the end.
