A Tour Around our PremisesA Tour Around our Premises the shade of Shevchenko avenue

that is situated right across the

street.

The school itself has a spacious

and cosy reception where you can

lazily wait for the beginning of your

class idling your time with

'GoTrinity' or 'TrinityBiz'.

It may come as complete sur-

prise to many people that our

school started functioning in its fool

capacity within the few days of its

existence. Before you could say

Jack Robinson it was furnished and

equipped with necessary staff. Fi-

nally, we can unveil all the peculi-

arities and ideas behind our design.

The prevailing colour of our in-

terior (as well as exterior) is green.

It is just in its own right. Green re-

flects the colour of life, flourishing

and, obviously, TRINITY. Besides,

as one of our students pointed out

later, this colour is the symbol of

success and prosperity. I would not

be able to put it even better!

The school can boast a breath-

taking view, especially at night and

secure area around and beyond the

school premises. After having a

productive lesson, why not to enjoy

the stroll with a cup of tea or coffee

on our huge balcony that is going to

blossom in the late spring and sum-

mer. Or, you can venture outside in

Thus, we have three cool

classrooms: green, yellow and

blue.

Naturally, the colour corre-

sponds to the colour of the elements

of the exterior within the classroom.

A huge conference room is second

to none for throwing parties or hav-

ing team challenges and other

events in English.

This is a brief account of our

school but you'd better see in your

own eyes as irrefutably we can of-

fer You the best ambience com-

bined with a congenial atmosphere

for studying and acquiring new

knowledge. Go beyond the limits

with TRINITY Education Group.

Steve JobsSteve Jobs

Hard to find appropriate words to summarize. However, I would say that

Apple is now one of the most powerful and influential high-tech companies

in the world. It is the most innovative brand in the computer industry, a

leader in the music and phone businesses, and a likely consumer electronics

powerhouse for decades to come. As for Pixar, it is the single most success-

ful movie studio in the history of Hollywood, having yet to release a dud

after more than twenty years of existence. The founder of both these com-

panies is Steve Jobs. A genius, but also a man, an icon with flaws, full of

paradoxes, a visionary who has sometimes proven dead wrong.

Steve Job is a legendary person! A

self-made millionaire, who appeared

from nowhere and achieved unbelieva-

ble results in IT-field and vast recogni-

tion all over the World.

He grew up in a foster family and

hardly finished school. Together with

his best friend - Steve Woźniak he cre-

ated Apple company – a giant of com-

puter technology and then became a

founder of Pixar.

Positive thinker, pretty impudent,

creative and innovative worker, bold,

daring and strong believer, completely

confident person - this is a real face of

Mister Jobs.

He popularizes the phrase – Reality

Distortion Field. The clue is how to

make people believe in what you say

and use the power of persuasion with a

purpose to increase sales .

Thus, Steve Jobs became one of the

richest and the most famous person in

our days and age.

His presentations always have a

resound success, moreover all prod-

ucts produced by Apple immediately

upstage the rival ones in the computer

market.

Many years ago a simple course of cal-

ligraphy had a great impact on him

so Mr. Jobs understood how to deal

with numbers for computer programs

Some interesting facts from his life:

Steve Jobs drives his luxurious Mercedes SL55 AMG without ID num-

bers and parks it in park place for disabled people. It is quite understanda-

ble after he got over a serious illness and suffered a surgery.

He is constantly a center of attention which results in disinformation

bound to his health condition.

He prefers to dress a black turtleneck, jeans Levis and sport shoes.

His annual salary in Apple is 1 dollar. Rather weird but absolutely

true.

He is an owner of 5 billions dollars and takes 136th position in the list of

the wealthiest people (Forbes magazine information).


If you are thinking about getting

the hack out of this country

(kidding) then perhaps you need

to take either TOEFL or IELTS

Exams. WE went out of our way

to ensure that now it is more

than possible. The school de-

vised an effective and speedy

course of Exam preparation with

the highly relevant materials.

The hilarious situation that happened to us

All we know that the 1st of

April is the day of humor and

laugh. Everything is dedicated to

smiles, jokes and tricks. However,

our life can be so versatile and un-

predictable that sometimes we are

trapped in some peculiar and hi-

larious situations that we can’t im-

agine or made up on purpose.

Thus, Ann and I experienced

both formidable and funny occa-

sion when we hopelessly tried to

open the front door of our English

school which was deadly locked,

and the only door key we had on us

was broken.

Here is a story. At very begin-

ning of March when we just moved

to our premises, we had to tackle

numerous new things. One of them

was new key that locks the front

door. Once I decided to explain

Ann how to open and close it be-

cause the locking mechanism had

some intricate secrets. Obviously,

two of us came into the staircase

platform without coats, bags, mo-

bile phones and pocket money -

willing to try new keys out. Then,

it came as a surprise when we

couldn’t reopen our dear door.

Oh my God! We did every-

thing possible. We pushed it trying

to turn the key clockwise and coun-

terclockwise, shook the handle and

even begged it to be opened. Un-

fortunately, all our endeavors were

in vain. Moreover, the dismal situ- Tanya Isayeva (CAE)

ation was aggravated by forth-

coming furniture guy with new ta-

bles and another guy with blinds to

fix them on our windows. Never

had I experience such a complete

failure. No money, no possibilities

to phone and even no idea how to

get in the school.

Maybe we should call 1501 or

just crash the door? – Ann pro-

posed.

Nice choice! But what else can

we do? – I sad desperately.

Suddenly that guy from Design

-blinds Company took a lead and

tried to open the fatal door on his

own. He repeated all our previous

actions but applied his man force

and skills and finally he opened the

lock with flying colours. Wow!

Have you ever

seen two young

ladies happily

jumping in the

staircase platform

and embracing the

strange guy they

had never seen be-

fore. That was a

happy end for the founders of The

Business school of English « Trini-

ty Education Group» who bore such

a terrible tension under the mixed

feelings in unbelievable situation

that turned to great joy and a great

memorable story.

The Saga of Hotel Soap

The following letters were taken from an actual incident between a London hotel and one

of it's guests. The Hotel submitted the letters to the London Sunday Times for their humor col-

umn.

Dear Maid,

Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have

brought my own bath-sized Dial. Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf un-

der the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way.

Thank you, S. Berman

Dear Room 635,

I am not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I

took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I

took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change your

mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today which my instructions from the management is to

leave 3 soaps daily. I hope this is satisfactory.

Kathy, Relief Maid

Dear Maid - I hope you are my regular maid.

Apparently Kathy did not tell you about my note to her concerning the little bars of soap.

When I got back to my room this evening I found you had added 3 little Camays to the shelf

under my medicine cabinet. I am going to be here in the hotel for two weeks and have brought

my own bath-size Dial so I won't need those 6 little Camays which are on the shelf. They are in

my way when shaving, brushing teeth, etc. Please remove them.

S. Berman

Dear Mr. Berman,

My day off was last Wed. so the relief maid left 3 hotel soaps which we are instructed by

the management. I took the 6 soaps which were in your way on the shelf and put them in the

soap dish where your Dial was. I put the Dial in the medicine cabinet for your convenience. I

didn't remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed inside the medicine cabinet

for all new check-ins and which you did not object to when you checked in last Monday.

Please let me know if I can of further assistance.

Your regular maid, Dotty

Dear Mr. Berman,

The assistant manager, Mr. Kensedder, informed me this morning that you called him last

evening and said you were unhappy with your maid service. I have assigned a new girl to your

room. I hope you will accept my apologies for any past inconvenience. If you have any future

complaints please contact me so I can give it my personal attention. Call extension 1108 be-

tween 8AM and 5PM.Thank you.

Elaine Carmen Housekeeper

Dear Miss Carmen,

It is impossible to contact you by phone since I leave the hotel for business at 7:45 AM

and don't get back before 5:30 or 6PM. That's the reason I called Mr. Kensedder last night. You

were already off duty. I only asked Mr. Kensedder if he could do anything about those little

bars of soap. The new maid you assigned me must have thought I was a new check-in today,

since she left another 3 bars of hotel soap in my medicine cabinet along with her regular deliv-

ery of 3 bars on the bath-room shelf. In just 5 days here I have accumulated 24 little bars of

soap. Why are you doing this to me?

S. Berman

The smart way to catch the burglar!

It was late and Charlie was

about to climb into bed when his

wife informed him that there was a

light on in their garden shed. Char-

lie started to go outside to turn off

the light but noticed some people in

the shed who were busy stealing his

things.

He ran back inside right away

and called the cops, who asked him

"Are there any intruders in your

house?" to which Charlie replied no

and explained his circumstances.

The cops told Charlie that all patrol

cars were otherwise occupied, and

that he should just lock his door and

a uniformed cop would be at his

house when one was free.

Charlie answered, "Alright,"

hung up, waited 30 seconds, and

then called the cops again.

"Hello, I just called a short

while ago because there were peo-

ple stealing things from my shed. I

want to let you know that they're

not a problem anymore because I've

just shot every one of them."

Charlie then hung up the

phone. In five short minutes, three

patrol cars, a SWAT team, and an

ambulance arrived, and Of course,

the cops caught the burglars in the

act.

One of the cops snapped at

Charlie: "I thought you said that

you shot every one of them!"

"I thought you said there were

no patrol cars free!" Charlie an-

swered.
