One of the things I love most about Mkhitar Sebastaci is that our education is based on creativity and real-life experience. Instead of only reading from textbooks, we learn by doing. We often work on various projects that help us discover our own interests and talents. These projects allow us to explore art, science, technology, and many other fields in practical ways. Through this kind of learning, we understand not only the subjects but also ourselves better. Another great part of studying here is that we travel a lot. Our school organizes many trips and outdoor lessons where we explore new places, learn about nature, culture, and history, and meet new people. These experiences teach us to see the world from different perspectives and to appreciate diversity. Traveling together also strengthens our friendships and teaches us teamwork and cooperation. At Mkhitar Sebastaci, we are encouraged to take responsibility for our actions and decisions. We learn to work in groups, share our ideas, and respect others’ opinions, even when they are different from ours. The atmosphere is open, creative, and friendly. Everyone feels free to be themselves, and that makes our community strong and supportive. For me, this school is much more than a place to get an education — it’s a place where learning feels alive and inspiring. It helps me grow not only academically but also personally. Every day I gain new experiences that give me confidence and motivation to believe in myself. Mkhitar Sebastaci Educational Complex teaches me to dream about the future and to work hard to make those dreams come true.

Family weekend – “be going to”

My family are going to stay at home this Saturday afternoon.
However, we aren’t going to spend the time together, thanks to the internet.
I am going to do some research online on my laptop; my daughter and her friends
are going to make videos and post them on YouTube; and my son? He is going to play online computer games, of course!
Meanwhile, my wife is going to watch her favourite soap opera on the tablet.
When I asked her, “What are we going to eat tonight?” she replied, “I am not going to cook today.”
So later, we are going to order some Chinese food from justeat.com.
It’s delicious!

Reading – The Power of the Introvert (bottom of page 57–58) The text explains that introverts are people who prefer to spend time alone and think deeply. Although society often values extroverts more (because they speak more and seem confident), introverts also have great strengths they are creative, focused, and good problem-solvers. Many famous scientists, leaders, and artists are introverts. The message is that introverts shouldn’t try to be like extroverts their quiet nature can be powerful.

Video (Vox Pops Video 6) The video is about different personality types — introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. People in the video talk about how they feel in social situations and what makes them comfortable. Some people say they are introverts and like quiet places, while others are extroverts and love being with people. The main idea is that everyone is different, and both introverts and extroverts have positive sides.

Writing. Dear students, try to find famous shopping streets or addresses around the world. Post the one on your blog and be ready to present in class.

Fifth Avenue is one of the most famous and luxurious shopping streets in the world. It stretches through the heart of Manhattan, New York City, and has become a symbol of style, fashion, and modern urban life. Walking along Fifth Avenue feels like walking through the center of the world’s fashion and business industry. Many international designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Versace, and Tiffany & Co. have their flagship stores here. These stores are not only places for shopping but also architectural masterpieces that attract millions of visitors every year. In addition to shopping, Fifth Avenue offers many famous landmarks and cultural attractions. The Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the New York Public Library, and Rockefeller Center are all located nearby, making the area one of the most visited in the city. During the winter season, especially at Christmas, the street becomes even more magical with bright lights, decorated shop windows, and festive music. Many people come just to see the holiday displays of Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue, which have become part of New York’s Christmas tradition. Fifth Avenue is not only a shopping destination but also a place where fashion meets history. The street reflects the power, wealth, and creative energy of New York. Whether you are there to shop, sightsee, or simply walk and feel the atmosphere, Fifth Avenue offers an unforgettable experience that captures the true spirit of New York City.
