2017 FRIDAY

I read Bridget Jones‘s diary from the beginning till May.
I saw this book is for intermediate level students. I feel I‘m only pre intermediate
I'm ready for this funny quiz.
So, my answers:
1. My favourite emoji - two girls
2. energetic
3. Getting bored too easily
4. yellow
5. Who knows where it goes

Simona parašė: I read Bridget Jones‘s diary from the beginning till May.

Marvellous! How did you find this book? Was it fun? I hope it wasn't boring!

Simona parašė: I saw this book is for intermediate level students. I feel I‘m only pre intermediate

Was it difficult to understand? I think I will explain a little about present tenses next time. One professor advises not to pay attention to levels, just take a language as it is

Your New Year's Resolution could be : Try a new sport! .

Do you agree?

to do a somersault on the trampoline - apsiversti aukštyn galva ant batuto
I don't know about rugby, but the dictionary says that in rugby 'to score a try' means 'to get 4 points by putting the ball behind the goal line' !

Oh,
B.J. diary is fun and easy to read. I just think about my level.
OK. I agree. I'll try a new sport

Thank you for your funny sugestions.

About Brigitte=Bridget: She is fine, I need to read more (I read only January ) and I'm finding specific identity features, because there is a very typical feminine. = they (the features) are very common in women.

1. More sports.
2. More travels.
3. More adventures.

1. Monkey.
2. Friendly.
3. Not answering messages.
4. Green.
5. Who knows where it goes.

PS. I will be in tomorrow's (2017-01-07) classes

I like Bridget Jones. I sew(saw) a film and I read a book in Lithuanian but it was a long time ago. I read January very carefully. It is interesting sense when I can read and understand almost everything. I found some words and underlined them (or it?) and I try to remember. (both - 'it' and 'them' - are correct)

My resolutions: 1. More exercises.
2. Less dinners.
3. More time for English.

1. A girl with red dress.
2. Friendly.
3. Eating badly.
4. blue.
5. Who knows where it goes.

This year, I will try to eat less sweets, catch more fish, the gym to lift more weights, to be more natural.

Simona, is the second photo from your childhood when you were at the nursery? I have old photos with Santa from my New Year's celebrations at the nursery. In one photo, I'm sitting on Santa's lap (kelių) by the Christmas tree. Santa is holding a massive stick, he's looking at the camera and smiling but I'm not smiling, I look (atrodau - nėra present continuous) very scared

Arunas' quiz answer is the same as for Marius! Maybe you both must stop having parties at night ?
