AN INTERNET COUNTRYSTUDY CONTEST "GO WEST" WAS HELD*

On November 18 - 20 2015, the gymnasia 9th formers took part in VI International Internet-Olympiad in countrystudy "Go West", which was held in the gymnasia multimedia center. 31 pupils who wanted to try their hand and show knowledge of the history, traditions and customs of the peoples of English-speaking countries participated in the first round of the contest.  The contest tasks were very interesting. The pupils learned a lot (for example, the other name of a well-known red London bus besides “double-decker”). They got a desire to study and explore the countries in English.

         The countrystudy contest is held for pupils and students of Forms 5 – 11 in 2 rounds via telecommunication. 30 participants of the first round scored enough points to pass to the second round. An especially high level of knowledge was shown by Oleksiy Chuguy, Form 9-B (100 points out of a possible 100), Karpenko Kristina, Form 9-A (98 points), and Kotychenko Alexander, Form 9-A (98 points).

We congratulate the participants of the olympiad on the first achievements, and wish them optimism and inspiration in reaching other summits, namely the victory in the second round of the olympiad, which will take place in February 2016.
