cultural relations between the UK and Ukraine.

4. Read a pupil’s story about an excursion to the British Council and answer the questions.

        I would like to share my impressions about our excursion to the British Council. We wanted to learn how it operates, how it can help us in learning English. It was quite a revelation. There you can find out how to get involved with one of the projects or initiatives.

        We have found out that in the British Council you can explore the creativity of the contemporary UK, its cultural diversity and recent achievements. Whatever you want to learn, and whichever way you prefer to learn, the British Council can support your studies. It can also tell you about your opportunities in the UK education and advise you on funding your studies. If you teach English, it can offer professional networks and resources.

        Moreover, the British Council can help you if you want to develop and test your English skills. Whatever your level is, it can offer courses, resources, and exams to suit your needs. Whether you are a person of science or a professional, the British Council can offer you the latest information on scientific innovations through the range of projects, partnerships and initiatives.

        If you want to relax using English, enjoy contemporary British films. Have fun with British bands and DJs, feel the magic of modern British playwrights and actors, and, of course, travel to the world of books with modern British writers. All in all, the visit was really helpful.
