Слово вчителя: Good morning dear jury, our teams and guests. Welcome to the intellectual English contest «Brain-ring». Our aim is to show students’ knowledge not only in English but science and inventions as well to widen outlook and encourage students to speak. Now I’d like to introduce our jury to you…

I know they will judge our competition fairly.

Привітання команд.
