Valentine's Day Stories 5-7th graders, school N22, school N148	An excersize for you 7th graders, school N22, school N148
The pupils of the 7th grade (Gymnasium N10, Novosibirsk) and their English teacher visited your web site. We liked it very much. This is what my students think about the projects. I think the best of all stories we have seen is the story called “Thanks to St. Valentine” created by 6th graders, school #22 because it is funny and interesting and looks like a real story. The language is not difficult. Andrey I. In my opinion “Valentine’s Day Story” is the funniest story of all stories. “The Hearts of London” is the best because famous characters are involved in it. I’d like to take part in the project like this. Sasha S. I think that “Happy Family” is the most interesting and the funniest story. The story “The Hearts of London” seemed a bit dull. Ilya S. The most interesting story is “The Hearts of London”. The pupils combined one of the most popular holidays and the legendary detective. We liked costumes and makeup. It was a good idea. And the story “Thanks to St. Valentine” is very funny. Situations like this sometimes happen in life. We liked all your works. Katya M. and Masha K. I like the story “The Hearts of London” best of all. I find it funny. Children imitate grown-up actors and they do it well. They are very funny. Ksenya G. It seems to me that the most interesting story is “The Hearts of London”. The characters are cool! The funniest story is “Thanks to St. Valentine”. Sveta K. I liked the story about Happy Family. It is the most interesting. “Thanks to St. Valentine” is really funny. Though the actors are young they did their best. The language is easy to understand everything. I liked also the pictures. Andrey P. All stories are good. I like the plots of the stories and there are many useful words and sentences. Kolya R. To crown it I like all your projects. I find each of them both funny and interesting. It was a brilliant idea to create projects like these. This work is useful and challenging. I am sure it helps your pupils not only acquire necessary language skills but also learn to work in a team, to cooperate with each other, to develop their imagination and creative abilities. We wish you success and good luck! Irina Michailovna Batishcheva, Gymnasium N10, Novosibirsk.
