First of all, I didn't say a word about some great experiences that we had during the sessions.
To begin with, the attitude of the trainers and the trainees to the work we did, it was really something that impressed me a lot! Generally it was very positive, enthusiastic and the groups were real communities and that is a rare thing (we've known each other just for 10 days!). We all seemed to be thinking in one direction, but could often find different ways to do so.
Second, the relationships were really friendly, warm and we were interested in each other. It was great not just to have good and intensive language practice, share ideas, watch and talk to our trainers and group-mates from professional point of view, it was surprising that we managed to be sincere and understanding to each other, but not just polite and politically correct (I hope you understand what I mean)! that was stunning and I appreciate it most of all.
Third, I'd like to say a couple of words about the training sessions in general. Even for experienced teachers and trainers there was much to learn, discuss and share which proves that the sessions were much more than just useful and the trainers were absolutely involved in the work not only during the sessions but all day long whenever we needed their help. Thank you Eilidh, Svetlana, Susanne, Leo, Sasha, Shirin and Raimond!!!!
One remark which I can't but make, is about the pecha kucha session delivered by Leo. It was a masterpiece and I saw something that I can't do at all (I'll definitely try to as now I have a perfect example of how to do it). I also enjoyed the session by Shirin on Web-resources that we can use. It was very helpful.
To sum it up, I just can say that the school was more than worth trying to get there, so join on-line courses held вy British Сouncil, come to the seminars and schools organised by British Сouncil and you'll feel brand new!
Best wishes to all of you!

When I was a little girl I thought that a good girl should be beautiful;
When I was a teenager I thought that a good girl should be clever;
When I had married I thought people should be happy;
When I became a mother I thought people should be kind …
Then I thought we all should be healthy
…And now I think that the best people are those who’re grateful.
