They went with their teacher to a cool little artsy cinema called The Picturehouse.  It’s just a 10-minute walk from the school in Greenwich and well worth visiting. “It’s a kind of [...]

Article by Ksenia Lukina “Work for no pay! Does it sound ridiculous and even incredible to you? Well, it is easy to understand your feelings, but volunteer work without any payment is very popular in the UK. The other day we had a meeting for students who want to volunteer.
