Guest from Texas

In March our library's guest was Lauren Selensky from Wharton, Texas.
Lauren, being a teenager, found very easy the "common language" with our students.

The topics were also "teenagerish": about school, spare time, home customs, differences between the two countries.

Lauren is a very friendly person and our students loved to listen and discuss with her.
Thank you Lauren for all!
Thank you to Bodor Katalin, Sylvester Anna, Szőcs-Torma Katalin, Szmolka Zsuzsa, Gocz Katalin, Tana Éva, our English language teachers for cooperation!
