My Day

Good morning everyone! My name is Anastasia Uspenskaya. I’m a student of Lyceum 113. Today I’m going to talk about a very interesting topic, in my opinion: it’s My Day or the day when I was born.

• Looking at this slide you can see the main points of my presentation.
• Pay attention to the picture. It helps to understand that my day is connected with summer, more over with the first summer month.
• You know, everybody has his or her day. What does it mean? It means the day when we come into this world.
• Let’s start with horoscope. My sign is Gemini. Those, who were born on that date have an extremely acute mind, physical dexterity.
  They are very talented and interested in different ideas and projects wherever they lead you. They’re witty, people don’t feel bored in their company.
  Those who are born on that day are good at studying foreign languages. Their interests are very wide – from sports to comics.
• When I started my exploration, I decided first of all to ask my mum what she remembers about that remarkable day. She said I came into the world on Thursday at nine o’clock sharp. I was only three kilograms weight and fifty centimeters long. All my relatives were waiting for appearing of me. They were very happy. It was really a magic holiday! My elder sister Natasha offered to call me – Nastya. All of them liked this name. In Greek Anastasia means “revival”. Now my mum’s proud of me.
• As I said above the first of June is not only my day. It belongs the history and the whole world. First of all it’s the International Children’s Day. The first Children’s day was celebrated in China in 1950.
•   On the first of June people celebrate a lot of national holidays. E.g. the Day of a Mother and a Child in Mongolia, The Labour day on the Bahamas.
• The Statehood Day in the USA, The Independence Day in Samoa, The Constitution day in Tunisia.
• The freedom day in Kenya, Child’s Day in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
• The Day of planting trees in Cambodia, The President’s Day on Palau.
• The Northern Navy’s Day in Russia
• On the first of June there were so many changes in the history of the world.
• In seventeen century before the Christ Roman princeps Augustus marked the beginning of a new era. It was the era of universal peace.  In seventeen seventy nine the town of Mariupol and in seventeen ninety eight in St. Petersburg St. Ekaterina’s institute for noble maidens were founded.
• In eighteen o six Smolny institute was founded. In eighteen sixty two on the whole territory of the USA slavery was forbidden. Toronto was proclaimed the capital of Ontario in eighteen sixty seventy.
• The football club “Eintracht” was created in Germany in eighteen ninety nine. In nineteen twenty two in the USSR the first airline from Moscow to Konigsberg was opened. Donal Douglas’s first airplane was launched in nineteen thirty three.
• In nineteen thirty five in England the examination on getting the driving license started. In the same year the first flight of airplane – amphibian S-43 took place. A year later Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard’s wedding befell.
• In nineteen thirty eight the first comics magazine with Superman was published. Do you like comics? As to me, I do. I found out in nineteen forty six TV license was given for the first time in Britain. In nineteen fifty the gramophone Recording firm “Decca Records” let out the first record on thirty three and three revolutions per minute.
• I shared my birthday with a lot of famous people.
• For example, Queen of Castile Berengaria, Composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka, people’s singer Zoya Gaidai, cosmonaut Georgy Dobrovolshy, English architect Norman Foster
• Actor Morgan Freeman, Guitarist of “The Rolling Stones” Ron Wood, Miss Universe two thousands eight Dayana Mendosa.
• But most of all I’m proud to say that Merilyn Monroe was also born on the same day with me, but seventy for years before.
• To summaries, I enjoyed working on this project. It was exciting and interesting for me and my relatives because I have found a lot of useful information, a lot of fascinating websites and I have learned that the day I was born is a great day in the world history.      
• That’s all I wanted to tell you about.
