British Common Sense
Dear Reader,
I am going to share with you my impressions of a book I read quite recently. I bought it during my stay in England in January this year after seeing a copy at my friend’s. It deals with something quintessentially British, that is ‘common sense’. What is it? Al Murray, the pub owner, TV personality and author of the book ‘The Pub Landlord’s book of British Common Sense’ gives a definition: “It’s the sixth sense, the others being: hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching.” The book is lavishly illustrated with photos and pictures, full of humour (English, of course!) and easy to read. There are funny quizzes dealing with British history and way of life.

A Little Pretty Pocket-Book

A Little Pretty Pocket-Book

Dear Reader,
Much has been written about the different perception of things on the part of men and women. (You know: “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”!) I started pondering about it when I was thinking over the topic of my column. I decided to choose the article “Little Pretty Pocket Book” written by D. Wright. There was a link attached to the article and I followed it. So I read extracts from the book for Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly. David has chosen the topic connected with sport and games which are introduced in the book, but what drew my attention was the question of upbringing. The Little Pretty Pocket Book is a well of everyday wisdom for girls and boys. It is extremely (in a good sense of the word) didactic which is no wonder considering the date of publication. At that time, literature was fulfilling educational purposes, not only entertaining ones (as we see sometimes see now).

Isn’t it Good That
Dear Reader,
Again I want to share with you an inspirational message from Mary Rau-Foster who is the editor of an E-magazine on positive thinking. Nadezhda

Winnie-the-Pooh

Winnie-the-Pooh

Dear Reader,
This year is rich with jubilees; not long ago we marked the 80th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II and the 70th birthday of our permanent author, David Wright. But for the readers of School English, it would be interesting to know that this year is also the 80th birthday of the literary personage Winnie-the-Pooh! Created by Alan Alexander Milne, he is enjoying a long life and has become a loved character for many children (and grown-ups) all over the world. Pooh and his friends are gentle caricatures of human characters and habits of mind. The mood, as in all Milne’s books is relaxed and happy. Milne’s son Christopher Robin was born in 1920 and it was his toy animal that inspired him to write the book which became a children’s best seller for many years to come.

No Ordinary Blanket
He bought it at the Sav-On Drugstore for $4.97.

It was an unassuming wool blanket – red tartan plaid with fringe on each end. When new, it was starchy and its colors vivid; but after nearly twenty years of service, the colors were faded and so threadbare in places you could see right through it. I thought the blanket itchy and hot, but Dad stubbornly defended its merits.

Flowers and Vegetables
This is one of the chapters of the new book by Mr David Wright “Tales from the English Garden”

There was one tussle that constantly recurred in and about Hodge’s garden. This was between Hodge and Mrs Hodge – you can guess who usually came out best in the arguments! Hodge said that it was unfair to threaten him with the withdrawal of his Sunday dinner privileges and Mrs Hodge said that she wouldn’t have to if he just did as he was told. At that point, Hodge would go out into his garden muttering “Women!” under his breath – but not until he was out of earshot3 of Mrs Hodge.

Special Delivery
This is an extract from the first chapter of a new book by David A. Wright. The main character of the book, Peter, the pilot, the Special Messenger, is given an assignment which he has to fulfil “at all costs”. The story narrates of Peter`s adventures.

Harry Potter effect
Samara Municipal Nayanova University students ask:
We know that Harry Potter is very popular now all over the world and there is talk about ‘The Potter‘ effect on children’s reading. What other books are popular now among the British?

My favourite books in English
Dear Readers,
Last time I was sharing with you the Internet links concerning learning the English language. But in the pre-Internet era people read BOOKS! And today, on the eve of St.Valentine‘s Day I am going to talk about love of BOOKs! Yes, with the capital letter! For these are high quality books for all times.
