Furhermore, our member Song Kwong had a birthday next day, so we made two celebrations in one))
 By this "sweet" project we want to say thanks to our professor Jeff Lebow, one of the best English teacher in our University. We really enjoyed not only his classes, but also his  incredible homework. It was exciting to made projects, listening audio and speaking in front of the camera.

#RockysBalboaSpeechBefore 
 #RockysSpeechAfter

 I would like to practice one of my favorite speech from my favorite actor Sylvester Stallone. This speech is from famous movie "Rocky". Rocky is speaking to his son about life and gives him some advices how to change it. Rocky speaks tough, but it helps his son to be a good man!
 In my case, practicing this speech made me to understand better English pronounciation from native speaker. It also helped me to read the text and speak more faster with approproate intonation and pauses at the certain points in this speech. Even though Rocky`s speech is just one and the half minutes long, it was not easy to express all feelings through audio.
 Practicing inspirational speech of Rocky Balboa made me a better English speaker! It also rised up my mood and self-esteem. I would like to meet Rocky Balboa as a hero in real life!!!

Spalding Gray Segment From Swimming To Cambodia (On Cold War Soldier)

                           Uniqueness of Contemporary Playwright Spalding Gray

“I say that I can`t make anything up. I think of myself as a collage artist. I`m cutting and pasting memories of my life. And I say, I have to live a life in order to tell a life. I would prefer to tell it because telling
you`re always in control, you`re like God.” /Spalding Gray/

 Spalding Gray was a famous American film actor, contemporary playwright, and screenwriter. He was also a talented theatre and television actor who wrote and performed his own roles in the films “Monster in a Box” and Gray`s Anatomy”, which became his most memorable performances.

 Spalding Rockwell Gray was born in 1941, in province, Rhode Island. After he graduated Emerson
College, he began to perform in Off-Broadway plays as a supporting actor. Gray is best known for his
monologues and he had an amazing talent for live performances. He was also a co-founder of the Wooster
heater Group in New York, where he performed his first monologue “Sex and Death at the Age of 14" in 1977.

  Even though Spalding had appeared on television numerous times, the greatest glory and national attention was brought to him from his play “Swim to Cambodia”, which was written in 1985 and filmed in 1987. Thanks to his play, he received the Guggenhiem Fellowship and a National Book Award. In 1992 Gray published his only novel “Impossible vacation”, based on his personal life experiences. Spalding Gray became a writer and an artist of an original genre. He invented a very unusual and rare form among artists. His autobiographical monologues people call “epic monologues” because first they were spoken and then written down. He also minimized all things in his plays, using just a table, a glass of water, his notebook and a mic. By just simply sitting and telling the audience the stories of his life, Spalding Gray portrayed himself in a huge world, using his unique style of writing and acting. At that time, there was really no one like him. He created a new kind of theatre piece for the solo performer, named “talking pieces”. Gray improvised from his memories, free associations, and he told the audiences about his childhood, his adventures as a young man, his struggles and private emotions. He also used old family photograph albums and slide projections. “He
was the most fantastic raconteur”, says his close friend Ken Kobland. “ He would come home at night, and we`d open cans of India pale ale, and he`d tell the story of his day. And we would just be totally broken up by this. He`d describe the symmetry of the world with such wit and self-awareness, such incredibly
rich detail and complexity. It was…talent is a funny word- it was a gift, a madness.”

Unfortunately, Spalding Gray suffered severe injuries in a car crash in 2001, and after that he suffered from deep depression and severe pain. He committed suicide at the age of 62. However, the world remembers him as the greatest American storyteller of his generation, a performer who turned his life into a series of brightly incisive monologues.

The Lion King 3D: Morning Lesson With Mufasa

 This is the scene where Mufasa shows Simba the whole kingdom and tells him about the Pridelands and the Great Circle of Life.



 Mufasa: Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom.

 Simba: Wow...

 Mufasa: A king`s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.

 Simba: And this will all be mine?

 Mufasa: Everything!

 Simba: Everything the light touches...What about that shadowy place?

 Mufasa: That`s beyong oud borders. You must never go there, Simba!

 Simba: But I thought a king can go whatever he wants.

 Mufasa: Oh, there`s more to being a king that getting you away all the time.

 Simba: There is more?

 Mufasa: Ha-ha... Simba... Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.

 Simba: But, dad, don`t we eat the antelope?

 Mufasa: Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eats the grass. And so we are all connected in the Great Circle of Life.
