                       Dedication to English

Asel is from 5^th “Z”
O, English! You are a joy, delight,
That makes us busy, friendly, and bright.
You are a chance to see the world,
That is so beautiful and old.
You are a chance to realize
If man can try to be so wise,
To understand unknown speech,
And then exclaim: “It is so rich!”

Sabina is from - 5^th “A”
It’s so nice to grasp creation
And master thoughts and inspiration.
It’s so great to keep in touch,
With all the world and speak so much.
I know that people mustn’t fight
And English helps them all to unite.
O, English! You’ve become my friend
Whom I should better understand.

                    Посвящение Английскому

Aknur is from 5^th “A”
О, Английский! Ты отрада
И большим трудам награда.
И возможность для открытий
Дивных мест, красот, событий.
Ты тот шанс, что даст понять,
Что возможно мудрым стать
Так, чтоб столь чужой язык
Полюбил я и постиг,
Мастеров узнал творенья,
Мысли, чувства, вдохновенье,
С миром здорово общаться
И в толпе не потеряться.
Английский другом смог мне стать,
А друга нужно понимать…

                     Ана тілім

Zhalgas is from 5^th “A”
Ана тілім – ақ қанатты тұлпарым,
Биіктерге самғап ұшар сұнқарым.
Ана тілім – ақ сүт берген анамсың,
Ана тілім – махаббатым құштарым.
Ана тілім – әнге қосар ардағым,
Тек өзіңмен қанаттанар арманым.
Туған тілім, бабам тілі, төл тілім,
Қазақ үшін баға жетпес бар мәнің,
Тілім менің – қасиетті бесігім,
Шаңырағым, ақ босаға есігім.
Ана тілім – ар – ұятым, ожданым.
Жоқ қой оны білмегенге кешірім.
