focus of the training was to improve knowledge and skills of teachers in reading and writing. During the training teachers have learned
new for them strategies of work with different activities to teach their students
about reading and writing. We practiced with story writing, story- telling, and
story building, Teachers could understand better the structure of several essays
and to practice writing in several prompts. Some of the teachers wrote several
drafts on the topic "Music in our life" and rewrote it again and
again before the last version.
There weren't easy tasks for partcipants at the training , because each time they
had new activities or exercises to complete and discuss. Teachers could learn better about
the thesis statement and the structure of essay, tried to write thesis
statements for different topics. We used variety of handouts and videos. In the first Day, teachers could learn more

scientific report, newscast for report, reading a story "One day like no

As the result, teachers have worked individually,
in pairs, in groups, and discussed issues with others. They presented their
ideas in a positive atmosphere and accepted different opinion . They have got new knowledge and skills that they will implement
in their teaching. Teachers are planning to organize between students a contest for essay writing. In order to organize such activity, they have to learn better about the structure of essay and the ptrocess of essay writing.
These are examples of essays from some of the partcipants:
Music is a part of our life
"Music is a type of art that attracts your feelings and emotions. There are different types of music in the world that are played with different musical instruments, that every person enjoys listening to different types of songs or music. The music I enjoy the most is our national music, which is played with different national musical instruments and mix modern music.
Firstly, I want to say about our national music which is played by a group of singers in weddings, parties, and ceremonies. It helps people to dance and enjoy the day.
In addition, our national music which is played by a group of musicians is very popular not only in Badakshan, but in different countries. As a result of taking part in festivals of the best musicians in France, the musician who played with the national Rubob, setor, and dutor, they were awarded with a great price.
In fact, every music has its style. Nowadays, a lot of musicians mix old music with modern music. Listening each song or music gives you different feelings and emotions.
In contrast, there is some music which makes you feel sad, if you listen to the song. It reminds you your sad moments in life, even it makes you to burst into tears.
In conclusion, music is helpful for us. It takes our stress; it gives us energy; and leads us to a better way of life."

an important role in our life. We can’t imagine our life without music. I think
there is no person who doesn’t like listening to the music. When we listen to
the music, we relax. Music attracts everyone and sometimes we begun to dance.
The music which attracts my attention, it’s an English music. There are three
reasons, that why English music attracts my attention more. First, English
music is played with different types of instruments. Second, the English songs
have a great meaning and the third one it is their singers are very good, their
voice is perfect.
English music
is played with different instruments, which are great and when person listen to
English music, he can really relax and
it can help to feel better.
Music has no
boarders and it’s not matter which genres it is and in which language it is
singing.
The English
songs really have great meanings and when I listen to them, I really relax and
they attracts me more, that at the same time I begun to dance also. Whatever I
have in my mood, I always listen to English music.
Sometimes, I
can’t understand the meani9ng of some words, when I listen to English songs,
but I like listen to the songs. I like their singers, I like their voice, I
like the way how they sing the songs. Their voi9ce is perfect.

Day2
The role of music in our life
"If you want
to forget about your problems or to find some decisions to them, one thing that
you can do is- listen to the music! Life consists of many problems and people
don’t have to think only about their difficulties, sometimes it is good not to
forget about your hobbies too. Mainly,
there are three reasons why music is important: staying young for a long time;
it really takes the stress and help people to make an important decision in
their lives.
In fact, we
know that music is good for keeping us young, because whatever we have in our
heart, we can express our feelings by singing songs with music. People can
write some songs about their own life and share them with other people their
happiness and sadness, and of course, they will keep their youth more and more
than other people. Listen to the music for pleasure to have better feelings and
to stay young.
Furthermore, listen
to music means to avoid the stress. One thing that is really bad for health is
stress. By having stress, people can face many illnesses, like high blood
pressure and headache. Stress can be reduced by different ways. Some people can
have dogs and cats which really help people to forget about their stress with
the help of music too.
At last, to
make some important decisions, music can be the source of that decision. Why?
The answer is everyday life person is loaded by his problems and there is no
time to think about something else. But once, you have listened to music and
relaxed a bit, good ideas come to your mind spontaneously. Listen to the music
and a lot of nice thoughts will come to your mind.
In my
conclusion, I want to write that music plays an important role in human beings ‘life.
Moreover, it helps us to make a correct decision in our lives. We need to
forget about our stress, in order to get pleasure from life with the help of
music."

Day3
Music and people
"Music plays
an important role in our life. People like to listen to music everywhere, if
they are in travelling in the car, on a boat, or flying by a plane. Even, if
people are sad or happy, they like to listen to the music. Also, according to
the music we know the feelings of the singer and sometimes it helps and motivates us to think.
There are
three reasons why is music important in our life. First reason is that people
can’t imagine their life without music, because when we listen to the music we
can forget about our problems. In the past, the life of the people was so
difficult and they gathered in one house and sang songs with the drums. The
music helped them to relax.
Secondly, day
by day the style of the music is changing. A lot of young people like rock and
roll music. They express their feelings and emotions. For these reasons, young
generation like to listen to these kind
of music.
The last
reason is that when we listen to the music, we know the feeling of composer and
a singer and we enjoy the life. I can’t imagine my life without music, because
of these reasons.
In
conclusion, I want to say that music help us to relax and calm down and help us
to forget about difficulties. Even if it if a modern or a national music, all
people enjoy it!"
