A2-B1. New Year's celebration

A story written by the best Soviet children's writer Arkady Gaidar. Adapted for B2-C1 level. The podcast with vocabulary. The vocabulary contains words that are not included in the minimum vocabulary of level B2. Book a lesson at http://italki.com/yulia.stepanova to check your listening comprehension, One day little Svetlana and her father took offense at her mother and went wherever they wanted… A kind lyrical story tells how much they saw during this long day and how wonderfully it ended. This story is about how the family should not hold grudges against each other and should be able to forgive. I love Gaidar's works, his ironic language, lyricism and subtle understanding of the human soul. During the lesson, we will work on vocabulary,  on verbs of movement with prefixes,  НСВ  and СВ  verbs. We will see fragments of the Soviet movie "Blue Cup" and we will search differences in the story and the movie. We will analize behaviour of characters like real psychologists and we will do many other speaking activities. In the end, use pictures to retell this entire story.
