For the last three questions. I
know from my experience, that students often
mention famous English-speaking writers and poets. Their pictures are hung in
the classroom. A list of the best known English-speaking newspapers and magazines
is available in the classroom also. I give more points to the students, who try to "go outside"
of the classroom.
