Ambition. Discovery. Success

“Ambition. Discovery. Success” is the title of the Conference, which has taken place today at the gymnasium of Pogranichnyj agritown. The aim of the fifth Scientific and Practical Conference is to find out gifted pupils and develop their abilities.

The conference focuses on the following aspects: the humanities (History, Geography, Regional Study), Mathematics and Physics, Biology and Chemistry, The Russian language and Literature, The Belarusian language and Literature, Foreign languages, and Primary Education, which was held for the first time.

Anna Pugachevskaya, the 7 form pupil, took part in this conference. Our work is titled “Speech Models of Greeting in the Project of Postcrossing”. (Anna is also a postcrosser).

In this work we studied peculiarities of English speech etiquette and distinctive features of levels of politeness in the English language.  We also made a research – we found out the most popular variants of greeting. So, we examined 120 postcards received from different English-speaking countries and concluded that “Hello, (Name)!” is the most popular model which is used 67 times (or 56%). It’s very important to know how to greet unknown people.

Anna defended her research work and was given the 1^st place. Congratulations!
