His first song became popular at once*. You could hear everywhere “It’s so great that all of us are here and now today!” Now the song is a kind of anthem* of bard music and the festival.

Appendix 4.

Text 4.1. Read the text. Find nouns and adjectives describing Oleg’s songs (pupil 1) and some other ones with the description of people’s character (pupil 2).

His songs are very kind and a bit sad though he likes jokes very much. Oleg has a good sense of humour. He considers that a funny joke is a pressed form of genius* thoughts of people.

He likes nature and notices every beautiful detail. It can be a picturesque sunset*, unusual fog, “a yellow leaf* stuck to the glass of the window”. Nature is always alive* and very sensitive*: “August can pat fir-trees on* their heads”, “quietly falling leaves can whirl* the trees”. You can be touched with white snow and red berries on it, you can feel “the happy” warm May opposed* to “the black smoke” of the war and the cold of death. His poems are very impressive: you can listen to “the wind playing the amber-coloured* strings” or “the flute* crying quietly in the dark of the night”, you can enjoy “the beauty of the dancing autumn” and hear “the leaves of the trees whispering tenderly*”, you can see “the yellow paradise* of the blue February” when the author describes Africa thinking about Russia. Every time his characters go anywhere, they look forward to* returning to their native place: the country, the city, the town, the street, home. In his songs people are courageous, strong-willed but at the same time kind, careful and sympathetic. His songs are rich in philosophy, romantics, they are moving*, touching*, expressive, full of love, great love of life. O. Mityaev tries to enjoy every minute, every moment of his life.

*** genius - гениальный, a picturesque sunset – яркий, живописный закат, leaf - лист, alive - живой, sensitive – нежный, чуткий, pat on - погладить, whirl - кружить, oppose - противопоставлять, amber-coloured - янтарный, flute - флейта, tenderly - нежно, paradise - рай, look forward to – с нетерпением ждать, moving - волнующий, touching - трогательный

It’s So Great… (Как здорово )

Translated into English by Nikolay Lavrov

The string like echo splinter will pierce the endless space.

The sky dome will sway round, so big and starry-snowy…

It’s so great that all of us are here and now today!
