Проблемы орфографии определяются объективными трудностями ан глийского языка. Как известно, английский язык имеет более сложные правила правописания по сравнению с другими языками, что связано со сложной историей формирования английского языка, в котором почти каждый звук может быть написан более чем одним способом, а многие написания слов могут быть транскрибированы более чем одним способом. Однако это не повод, чтобы не работать над правописанием. Необходимо выписывать слова, в которых вы допускаете ошибки, использовать кар точки для работы над правописанием, группировать слова по определен ному принципу и т.д. Помните, что целенаправленная работа является залогом успеха.

Books for children should be based on real events and real peo ple.
Books should contain different aspects including fantastic and magic details.
Children have vivid imagination and they should be taught by the examples from real life.
If children read about real events they will learn the history of their country better.
It will be a very efficient motivation and children will want to look like real people from the books they’ve read.
Books based on real life don’t develop children’s imagination and creativity.
In this case children won’t be able to discover the world of fairy tales which contains wisdom of different nationali ties.
Children always wait for magic. It’s one of the main features of childhood.
____________________________________________________ Quotations and proverbs
When you sell a man a book you don’t sell just twelve ounces of paper and the ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there’s all heaven and earth in a good book. (Christopher M orley)
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. (Francis Bacon)
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten. (Neil Gaiman)
If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. (Albert Einstein)
