С сентября этого года я принимаю участие в волонтерском проекте по обучению английскому языку. Раз в неделю мы проводим для всех желающих занятия: рассказываем о своем опыте и учимся вместе с ними. Для этого проекта меня попросили ответить на десять вопросов. Можно сказать, что это мое первое интервью.
Hope, you will enjoy it! )

Tatyana Yakubets volunteers at English Speaking Club Bro for Beginners as a tutor. Her involvement is a great example of dedication and hard work. Being volunteer is a new role for Tatyana but she knows it makes difference since volunteering can have a real and valuable positive affect on people, communities and society in general.
Tanya you are very proactive, good job! Where does your inspiration come from?
I think my inspiration goes from people of ESC Bro and first of all from Alexander Plakhov. He encourages us for good thoughts and actions. I love our club’s atmosphere and Alexander’s attitude toward this volunteering project. He’s a good person and a great example to follow.
Give some advice those who still can’t make up their mind to join English Speaking Club Bro.
There is only one advice: come and see with your own eyes and only then make your own decision. Remember the stairway to your dreams and goals begins from the first step. So, just do it!
It is not a secret there are some teacher’s pets in the class. Do you have one? Ok, maybe two? :-)
Honestly, I don’t have pets yet. But I want to mention one girl named Kate. She had a bad luck with English teachers in the past. Despite that she didn’t give up and kept on trying. She even didn’t miss a lesson at ESC Bro for Beginners.
What do you like about your teaching partner Kate? You may describe three of her personal qualities.
First of all, I would like to mention about Kate’s courage. Kate is not afraid to speak her mind and she easily participates in any discussion or debate. I think her public speaking skills are very good. Secondly, I’m impressed by her attitude when it comes to lesson’s preparation. She is always ready for the lesson. And if I say always I mean ALWAYS! Discipline is her strong side, I think. Thirdly, I have to stress on Kates’ ‘level up’ skills. She never stops learning about new things and she is an interesting person to talk to about anything and everything. And that's the main reason why Kate is so loved by all of us in ESC family.

What is your favorite English word?
Hm…I have never thought about it. Let it be peninsula. It was during ESC lesson when I heard this word for the first time actually.
Thank you for being open about your volunteering involvement. Now it is time to get to know you better as a person. Which life section you enjoyed most? School life or university life? Or maybe the one you live now?
Life is beautiful and each section is filled with special moments and memories. Talking about study period, well, my university life was much better if compare to a school life. I was a drabbie in a high school so I really don’t like these years to remember. My best section started 7 years ago when my daughter was born. Being a mother is a real miracle and incredible life experience. And I’m blessed to have my little Angel!
Please share your most exciting travel experience?
I do like travelling. I have been to Russia, Egypt, Israel, Italy, Czech Republic and Belarus. Also I visited many beautiful places in Ukraine with my husband. The most exciting travel experience was my journey to Moscow in 2010. I went to U2 concert. U2 is my favourite music band. It was great time! Despite the pouring rain during the concert I was the happiest person in the world. My dream came true! It was amazing, unforgettable day ever!

Tanya you are a blogger. You write about your life and different experiences. Have you ever thought about writing a book? If so what title will you pick for your book?
A lot of my friends say I’m a good writer. But I have never thought about writing a book. I guess it takes a lot of time and inspiration so I’d better listen to music. But If I write a book I would call it “Thank you”. Thank you, Universe, for everything and everyone I have in my life.
Let’s imagine you have been invited in the films. What would be your movie character?
Ah, this is the hardest question. When I was 13 years old I had to play in a school performance Little Prince. My role was a beautiful Rose. But unfortunately the performance did not take place. My favourite movies are: Prisoner of Chateau d'If, Three Musketeers, Dog in the manger and others. I love Margarita Terekhova and I would play one of hers roles, for example Miledi from “Three Musketeers” or Diana from “Dog in the manger”.
If you are granted three wishes, what would they be?
First of all, I wish my husband's oldest daughter would be alive and healthy. The second one I want to be a mom again. And the third one I would wish to live with my family somewhere on Mediterranean coast, because it’s warm there.
Thank you and wishing you all the best in your volunteering experience!
