A LUCKY SNOWMAN
Last Christmas the snow was falling on the ground so soft and white. Children made a beautiful snowman. Its eyes were made from black round buttons and its nose was made from a carrot. There was a nice red scarf all around its neck. It was wearing an old grandpa’s hat.
At midnight there happened a miracle… the snowman came to life. And the next morning it played with the children. They skated and had a snowball fight. The children and the snowman loved each other.
Suddenly one of the girls said: “It’s a pity that the spring is coming and our snowman will melt and become a running stream”. But one of the boys said: “Wait, no, it won’t. I’ve got an idea. I know what to do. We’ll take our snowman to the ice cream factory. It is always cold there even in the summer”.
I’m glad to tell you that our snowman still works at the factory and makes the most delicious ice cream in our city. All children know it. We promised to make a snowwoman for him next winter, so that he wouldn’t feel lonely. I’m sure he will be the happiest snowman in the world.
Oh, well… I think that our fortune is in our hands. Don’t you?

FORTUNE AND FATE
We, people, believe in our fortune and fate. Fortune is a chance, luck, success. But fate is something that is certain to happen. And it cannot be a luck and success. So when schoolchildren get a high mark they say that their fortune is good and successful. Many boys and girls think that a bad mark is their fate and it is not necessary to work hard and learn lessons every day. What is the purpose to do it if it is impossible to change one’s fate, they think sometimes.
A lazy person considers that only a lucky man has a fortune, and he forgets that a lucky man did, does and will try and work very hard practically every day. But I am sure that it is not so difficult to change one's fate. Just put a very ambitious goal before you, and step by step go towards it. On this way you can learn and benefit from the experience of some famous people who have already achieved very ambitious goals. You should take into consideration not only positive but negative experience of these people as well. You should find out why a man is doomed to this or that fate. And you should try not to make the same mistakes. Other people's experience can teach a lot of things. It is very important to be thankful to any person who helps and teaches you. For most young people the most important teachers are their father and mother, and of course school teachers. Only they help overcome all mishaps and make good fortune become fate.

BLOB FISH FAIRY TALES
Once there lived a Blobfish deep in the Atlantic Ocean. She happened to be terribly ugly. In her childhood, nobody wanted to play with her. But her great-aunt Barracuda Agnes used to say: “It doesn’t matter how you look, if you are honest, clever and you have a kind heart”.
The years passed. The Blobfish studied diligently, helped relatives and never said “no” if anybody asked for help. Gradually the Blobfish got so many friends that nobody paid attention to her appearance anymore. All the sea creatures came to her for advice and help in the most difficult situations.
One sunny day a crab called Tommy sailed to the Blobfish. “I walked along the beach and suddenly saw a shoal of small shrimps that got in trouble. They got lost and could not find their way home to the depth of the sea", said the crab. “Shrimps could die, but I saved them. Those shrimps were so helpless and there were so many dangers around. Shrimps can easily die if there isn’t a sea creature nearby who takes care of them. What can I do? Life is so cruel! But I can't change it. I'm too small and too weak. I can't change the world! It makes me unhappy!” he added.
“You should not try to change the world. Take one of the shrimps to your home. Take care of her. Play with her. Teach her. You can't save all the shrimps. Your home is too small for this. But you can change the fate of the shrimp that you take. If all other crabs do the same, the world will change. You can't change the world alone. But together we can do it,” said the Blobfish.
The water glittered in the sun. Seaweeds floated peacefully. Crab Tommy and his shrimp Dustin were swinging happily in a beautiful shell.
So what is the moral of the story? It’s not important what you were born, but what you have become. When we are together, we can do a lot. Even change the world. Start from small things. Never be afraid. Do not stop.

A TALE OF TWO FRIENDS
Once upon a time, there were two friends. Their names were Alan and Charlie. Charlie had a good fortune and did not have to do much in life to be happy. Alan did not have too much luck, but he always studied very hard, even at weekends.
Charlie was so lucky that even when he had exams and did not study, schools would close because of snow. Then Charlie would go home and study in the last minute to pass the exam. Alan always studied very hard and was always ready for the exams on time. Charlie was also fortunate because he had a rich family, who gave him everything he wanted. Alan’s family was not that rich but they supported Alan in getting good education.
When Alan and Charlie finished school, Alan entered a good university because he studied so hard in school. Charlie’s fortune helped him again and he won a lottery and got rich. He was making parties and dancing with his friends in night clubs. Alan was studying very hard at the university and finished the university with the best grades. Alan’s parents were proud of him. He became a very good economist and found a very good job in one of the best companies.
Suddenly, Charlie lost his good fortune. He won no more lotteries and his family had only enough money to survive. Since Charlie didn’t finish the university, he could not find a good job. Alan became a successful businessman and his family got rich and happy. Charlie got very poor. He had to sell his big house and his party friends disappeared. He lived with the help of his old friend, Alan, who gave him a job.
The moral of this tale is that you should never count on luck. Luck can be with you today but it can leave you tomorrow. You should create your own fate yourself. Fortune does not come every time, but hard work always brings success.

MY BIRTHDAY WISH
It was on a nice summer day, on the sixth of June 2013. Our whole family went to our summerhouse in the countryside.
The weather was hot as the sun was shining brightly. The birds were singing cheerfully and the butterflies were flying all over our beautiful roses, violets and tulips. That day was special for me as the sixth of June is my birthday. I got a lot of birthday presents from my relatives and friends. There were game sets, toys, books and even a big bicycle. I liked all my presents but I was still waiting for something magical.
Late at night when I came to my bedroom I saw a little angel sitting on my pillow. I couldn't believe my eyes. I even pinched my arm, but it was still there. He said that the wheel of Fortune chose me and that I could make one magical birthday wish. To tell the truth, I was ready with my wish: I wanted to speak English as a native speaker...or even better.
The next morning I woke up. Was it a dream? My grandma came in. She said: Доброе утро! But...stop. WHAT WAS IT? I could not understand her. I asked Granny for a glass of water. Now she looked very surprised. She could not understand me either. My birthday wish came true.
After that birthday the Angel comes to me every night. He takes me to the wonderful land of Great Britain where I can speak English with British people and understand them very well. Every day I go to school and work hard to learn Russian to be able to talk to my parents and friends.
The Angel gave me a chance to live in two countries: In Russia during the day time and in Great Britain in the night.
The wheel of Fortune goes round and next time it may choose you. Magic happens when you believe in it!

What is «storytelling»? Telling stories, of course! In 2014, there are so many diverse, wonderful, and sometimes overwhelming ways to do this. What I want to explore is traditional, oral storytelling, which has been a part of human life since we first left Africa 200,000 or more years ago. Perhaps storytelling was the reason language developed in the first place, as our minds began to inquire, wonder, think.
Why Do We Tell Stories?
Whether in caves or in cities, storytelling remains the most innate and important form of communication. All of us tell stories. The story of your day, the story of your life, workplace gossip, the horrors on the news. Our brains are hard-wired to think and express in terms of a beginning, middle and end. It's how we understand the world.
Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every single culture tells stories.

Talented schoolboy and treble singer, Tom Deazley aged 14 from Belfast, will travel to Moscow in August for his role as ‘Miles’ in Benjamin Britten’s opera, The Turn of The Screw, which will be performed at The Kolobov Novaya Opera Theatre of Moscow.
http://ukrussia2014.ru/event/the-turn-of-the-screw-benjamin-britten/
This much-loved opera will be produced by Northern Ireland Opera and staged in Moscow for a two-night run later this summer, supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and The British Council.
Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw is widely regarded as one of the finest operas by perhaps the greatest British composer. Scored for a small chamber orchestra and a cast of six, its haunting music and tautly dramatic plot (based on a Henry James novella) has also made it one of the most popular twentieth century operas.
The Moscow performance will shine a light on NI Opera as Northern Ireland’s national opera company whose 2012 tour of The Turn of The Screw received considerable critical acclaim: “a Screw that any company would be proud to tour…remarkable” (Independent on Sunday); “absolutely superb” (Opera magazine); “electrifying” (The Daily Telegraph); “not to be missed” (The Sunday Times).
Commenting on the opportunity, Tom said, “I’m very excited to travel to Moscow to perform in The Turn of The Screw. This is a fantastic opportunity for me, and I feel privileged to be representing Northern Ireland internationally.”
NI Opera's Artistic Director, Oliver Mears said, "We’re very excited to be performing in Russia for the first time, and we’re proud to have been asked to showcase Northern Irish opera in this UK-Russia Year of Culture. The Turn of the Screw is an incredibly atmospheric opera which I’m sure will be well received in Moscow and in Northern Ireland when it tours next spring”
Ciaran Scullion, Head of Music, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, commented, “The performance of this Northern Ireland produced opera in Moscow by one of our best young artistic companies, celebrates the quality of our arts sector internationally. Tom has a wonderful career opportunity to perform to an international audience, see how an opera is staged there and bring this experience back to his colleagues in NI Opera. The Arts Council wishes Tom and NI Opera every success.”
