Are you a saver or a spender?


Are you a saver or a spender? 🤑 That’s a very tricky question was asked our participants of English Speaking Club 🗣️. Most people said they were 50/50 and of course the expanses depend on different situations. As you understood the topic our last meeting was dedicated to money 💰 and purchasing 🛍️. We learned some phrases and expressions to talk about money and how to do the shopping in English; we discussed questions and had fun 🤩.

Life Lessons

How to be positive and successful in everyday life? Does it happen by chance or you have to work hard?

Last English Practice we talked about how to succeed in everyday life, how to be optimistic and of course how not to give up after some failures. Our friend and volunteer from Canada taught us some useful phrases and idioms which are very common. We all could improve our English practicing the vocabulary.

The life we used to have

How often do you dream about your future 💫?

Sadly nowadays that’s a tricky question for Ukrainians because when you’re away from home or your family you easily get worried. However we looked through some of the which are used to talk about the past events:

*a blast from the past,
*trip down memory lane,
*living in the past,
*turn back time,
*the good old days.

We all were reminiscing about the live we used to have using these phrases and shared positive experiences.
We do believe that we’ll have a peaceful life soon with our beloved ones 🙌

Being Unproductive

Why do many people like weekends but others can’t fully enjoy theirs? And would you say they are usually productive or unproductive?

The last English Practice we dedicated to the weekend and discussed different questions. Also there was one video shown “How to make the most of your weekend” with lots of great ideas and vocabulary. So after watching it we shared our thoughts and compared those ideas with our own activities we usually do during this time.

Thanks to our friends from the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 who taught us some useful phrasal verbs to talk about our days off.

What's love and kindness in this world?




What does it mean to be kind anyway🤔? Is it helping or giving? Should it be easy?

These questions were discussed during the last English Practice with our native speakers, VSPP Varley Paul and former PC Volunteer Nina Jackson.
We started off with an ice-breaker “Name it…” where our club’s members shared their thoughts about what love and kindness are.
After that we looked through some phrasal verbs and idioms related to the topic.
