What do I think of Shakira? I admire her because she was a poor Colombian, but she became a famous pop star.
to admire [admaje] - žavėtis, ypatingai gerbti
I also admire Barack Obama, the current ([karent] - dabartinis) president of the USA. Sadly, he has to go and leave the office (=aukštas tarnybinis postas) to the businessman Donald Trump. I like president Obama because he's good-looking and funny He cares [kie/r/z] (rūpinasi) about poor, he wanted to give more money for healthcare [helth kiea] (sveikatos rūpybai) and a lot of rich businesspeople got angry (get angry [engri] - tapti piktam, supykti) about this. He also sent American soldiers to the Baltic States, they came to Pasvalys too, do you remember? He wanted to show Russia that the USA was with us, with the Baltic states. I think Obama is not a businessman but an idealist [aidijalist] (idealistas), a dreamer [dri:me] (svajotojas) and I like him a lot.
Barack's second name is Hussein. He was born in Hawaii in 1961. He didn't know his father, he saw him only once. Obamas's father was from Kenya. Obama's mother was a white American and I think she took good care [tuk god kea] (take good care - gerai rūpintis) of her son. Now he is the first black president of the USA!

This is Barack in his childhood [čaildhud] (vaikystėje) with his grandfather, his mother and his little sister.

Jennifer Lawrence began career actresses 14-years being. 2016-08-15 she celebrated the 26th birthday. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is best known for playing Katniss Everdeen in movie "The Hunger Games". I really liked this movie, built by the popular book. "The Hunger Games" brought her worldwide fame. She is the youngest actress to accrue four Academy Award nominations. Lawrence was renamed one of the most promising actresses of our time. But My husband thinks that this film is awful, silly and uninteresting.

It was a lot of years ago. I and my friends went to Moscow on the train. We were frendly, funny and happy. So it was a great holiday for me.
We stayed at school hall. There were students from Ukraine too. It was fun. We walked in the city centre. We saw Moscow City Ballet ,,Icarus". Icarus thought about liberty. His father made wings for him. Icarus flying high but fell into the sea and died. A lot of actors played in this Ballet. It was wonderful. We enjoyed the Pushkin States Museum of Fine Arts. This is the wonderful two-story building. Here we found Greek and Egyptian art, various minerals from Greece and Rome and a lot of old paintings. It was very nice but once we saw the view of Panorama of Borodino battle. This is amazing. The Borodino battle is painted but it seems that everything is moving. It surprised me and it was very interesting. I don't recommend this travel because no one can to repeat it and everyone feels differently.

My favourite artist


My favorite artist is Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
Rembrandt was born in Leiden on July 15, 1606.
His father was a miller who wanted the boy to follow a learned profession, but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden to study painting. His early work was devoted to showing the lines, light and shade, and color of the people he saw about=around him. He was influenced by the work of Caravaggio and was fascinated by the work of many other Italian artists. When Rembrandt became established as a painter, he began to teach and continued teaching art throughout his life.
Rembrandt, dutch=Dutch painter, draftsman, and etcher of the 17th century, is a giant in the history of art. His paintings are characterized by luxuriant brushwork, rich colour, and a mastery of chiaroscuro. Numerous portraits and self-portraits exhibit a profound penetration of character. His drawings constitute a vivid record of contemporary Amsterdam life. The greatest artist of the Dutch school, he was a master of light and shadow whose paintings, drawings, and etchings made him a giant in the history of art.
The artist went deep into the man's inner world, his feelings, tried to convey the human interior, naturalistic beauty.
The number of works attributed to Rembrandt varies. He produced approximately 600 paintings, 300 etchings, and 1,400 drawings.

1. Antonia spent her great holiday in an exotic country in South America, she flew there just one year ago...
2... and me, I had a great holiday in my home country Lithuania. This holiday was about twenty years ago. I went to Vilnius with my friends to see the Festival of Songs and Dances. We were students, we didn't have a lot of money and we didn't want to buy expensive bus tickets. We stopped cars on the road to Vilnius and there were some friendly drivers who took us to Vilnius for free. We arrived in Vilnius in a hot summer evening. We didn't have a reservation at a hotel. We had sleeping bags with us. At night we slept on the hill of Three Crosses in the centre of the city and we enjoyed the view of Vilnius at night. Next day we listened to Lithuanian songs and watched Lithuanian dances in the park of Vingis. The festival ended late, people built a big fire and everyone was invited ([uoz invaitid] buvo pakviestas) to dance around the fire. We were tired but happy. This holiday is unforgetable ([anforgetebl] - nepamirštamas) for me but it wasn't very comfortable because we didn't have a shower and a bed for two days and we ate fast food. I recommend this holiday only to adventurers ([advenčerez] - nuotykių mėgėjai).
