FRIDAY 2016

1.
I'm sorry, everyone! I made a mistake in the first question of homework. The word order in my question was wrong (What's full Jennifer's name?...), it must be: What is Jennifer's full name? Būdvardis 'full' (pilnas) turi eiti prieš daiktavardį 'name' (vardas).
2.
a cafe [kafė] or a coffee shop [kafi šop] = kavinė; a coffee [kafi] = kava
3.
We use 'the' with things we know (I would like to visit this cafe, because I want to look at the interior - nes aišku, kad tai tos kavinės interjeras ir jis tik vienas).

3.
Write a little about your family.
Are you interested in your family's history? Do you have your family tree? Do you know who your great-grandparents were and where they lived? What did your grandparents do? Did you know them well? Do you have a lot of uncles and aunts? Are you from a big family? Do you have a lot of cousins? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Do you have nephews and nieces? Do you have any children? Do they live far away from you?

I'm not very interested in my family's history and I don't have my family tree. When I was little I loved to listen to my mother's stories about her childhood on a remote farm. She told me a lot about her parents and her grandparents. And my father's mother liked to tell me about her young days, how she met my grandfather and how they became a family. That's how I learnt a little about the past of my family.
My mother's great-grandparents were servants in a house of a landlord in the district of Radviliskis. That's where their children, my mother's parents, met and married. After their marriage, my mother's parents bought a piece of land near Radviliskis. My mother grew ([griu] augo) there with her other four brothers and three sisters. She always remembers the woods and the fields around her parents' farm, she loved this place. Later, she went to a vocational school ([vokeišnal sku:l] - profesinė mokykla) in Panvėžys to train as a painter. There she met my father who studied construction. They married and came to Pasvalys, my father's hometown. I am their only child. I never met my mother's father and I saw her mother only once.
But I know my grandparents on my father's side very well. I spent a lot of time at their home in my childhood. They come from Joniškėlis. When they married, they moved to Pasvalys where they lived all their lives. They had two sons - my father and my uncle. My uncle married a Latvian woman, he and his family live near Pasvalys, behind the junction ([džankšn] sankryža) by "Maxima". My uncle's children or my cousins have their children too. I am an aunt to two little girls - my nieces.
I'm not very close with my cousins on my mother's side. Some of my cousins live in Radviliskis, some in Siauliai, in Klaipeda and in Italy. My cousins on my father's side live here, but we rarely meet. Last time I saw them at my grandfather's funeral this summer.

Go to page 112 in your Student Book -->Writing. Do the exercise about Jack, read the article about the Spanish student Cristina
Then write about your favourite day on the Forum. Which one is your favourite?

I like every day, because every day something interesting happens.
I wake up at 6.30 a.m. I get up, I go to the bathroom. Then I get dressed. The same time I prepare my breakfast. After breakfast I have a cup of coffee. At about 7.30 a.m. I go to work. My working hours begin at 7.50 a.m. I have lunch time at about 12 a.m. On Mondays and on Thursdays I get home at 4.15 p.m. On Tuesdays and on Wednesdays I get home at 5.30 p.m. After working hours I go to the supermarket sometimes. At about 6 p.m. I prepare my dinner. After dinner I prepare something I need for the next day, I read, I talk with my friends by mobile phone. If I have more free time I do dance exercises in the living room. These months I really don't have time for them. At about 9 p.m. I go to the bathroom. I spend about 1 hour here. At about 10 p.m. I go to bed and I read a little. At 10.30 p.m. I turn off the light and I think I'm happy it was a good day. Good night!

... At the same time I make my breakfast. ... At about 6 p.m. I make my dinner. After dinner I prepare something I need for the next day, I read, I talk with my friends on mobile phone...
Please, note that 'prepare a meal' isn't a mistake, but In everyday English, people usually say that someone makes a meal.
To speak/talk by phone - it isn't a mistake too, but people usually say "on the phone" , because 'by phone' means 'naudodamasi telefonu'

Thank you!
I forgot to post this exercise. It is from page 131 in Student Book:

My favorite day of the week is Friday. I get up like every morning at 6.25. My morning is very fast because my family get up together too. Only children has the breakfast and sometimes I have too. My first cup of coffee I have at work with my colleagues. I have luch time from 11.30 to 12.15. I like Friday because work day is shorter. Usually I finish unfinished works, have a methodical day. And mostly I like Friday's evening. It's fantastic sence to know that two free days wait me. I like to invite my friends, to plan small our weekend's trips or do nothing. I can go to bed later and stay in bed longer on second morning.
