No. it is not an island. It is a country in Europe. I want you to guess its name!
Do you remember what country our director Danguole is about to visit? to be about [ tiu bi: ebaut] - būti netrukus ką nors darančiu; I'm about to read - aš tuoj skaitysiu, I'm about to cry [krai] - aš tuoj verksiu., you are about to see - tu tuoj pamatysi, it is about to rain - tuoj lis, they are about to leave - jie jau ruošiasi išvykti..... and so on...ir t.t.....
It is not Ukraine. Our director isn't about to visit Ulkraine because she's back from there. She's about to visit a country near Italy and Austria [o:strija]. She's there with Audra from the 5th to the 8th of October. Do you want to know the capital city of this country? to be back [beak:] -būti sugrįžusiam; near [niea:] - prie

high society [hai sosajeti] - aukštuomenė; of high society - iš aukštuomenės.

Hooray! You are a winner! It is Gulliver's Travels [galiverz travelz]
I like Gulliver's Travels very much. It is a good and clever story. I have Gulliver's audiobook specially [spešali] for English learners. It has exercises to learn words and grammar. I hope one day you can listen to this audiobook with me
