We were very glad when we found out that Ted would
come to us, but we were happier because we would take part in the play
A Midsummer Night's
Dream by Shakespeare. For most of us it was our debut on the stage and
especially in English. At first it seemed that to learn our speeches
by
heart in English would be difficult because we have read Shakespeare
only in Russian. But all proved to be very easy. [Editor’s note,
I have to say that this perception is due much more to the hard work
of the students
and not necessarily the ease of the task! One night at 7:00 after we
had been working all day I tried to make Luda go home because she had
a cold
and she wouldn’t leave!] The main merit in it is through Ted. Thanks
to his enthusiasm, openness, friendliness we said the speeches with
ease
trying to be as close as possible to our heroes. We were ready to spend
the whole days with Ted. The communication with him helped us to improve
knowledge of English language. He is the ideal teacher for us. His methods
of teaching were unusual. They helped us to feel ourselves better on
the
stage. We have known some subtleties of actor's skill. We were surprised
to see how many children who could speak English a little before have
started speaking English with ease. It was difficult to believe it. Ted
has helped to open a lot of talents both in English and in actor's business.
Participation in Shakespeare's play has helped us to plunge into his
work to understand his plays better and certainly to improve the knowledge
of English. We enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Ted, for everything
that you have done for us!
