Bulgaria
English competition "Mum knows better" as the famous Bulgarian TV cooking show organized the School council. Students and their parents took part in with pleasure and had a lot of fun. Even Daddies came to support their children in the competition and showed surprising knowledge in English. The students had to choose the correct answers,parents just to pronounce it but we found that some of them are really good at English. At the end, of course we had certificates and lots of small prizes. The main idea of this event was to show the parents how important is nowadays to speak English and of course how hard can it be sometimes.
