2017 MONDAY

My favourite place at home is my bathroom! Every morning I go to my bathroom and prepare for my work. There are I take a shower, wash my hair with shampoo and do make-up. When I am tired I like relaxING (arba: to relax) in the bath.

My garden is my favourite place in Pasvalys. There are A lot of flowers and trees. I like sitTING on the grass and TO relax. It's wondeRful, because I can merge with nature. (or: 'I can feel one with nature")

THANK YOU. THIS IS VERY GOOD

My favourite place at home is a THE / MY bedroom. Because I like to have a rest, I read the book, I browsingE the Internet with =ON the phone. I love my bed, which is in the bedroom.

And now, write on the forum:
1. What can you say about the weather (and nature?) in Lithuania? What do you like and don't like about it?
2. What shops or cafes or restaurants do you like or do you not like in Lithuania? Why?
3. Do you think Lithuanian people are friendly? Do you think Lithuanian drivers are nice? Are they polite with other drivers? Do they let pass pedestrians?

Jurate's opinion about Lithuania
1.The weather in Lithuania is nice when it isn't too hot and dry. I don't like it in summer, when the temperature rises over 30 degrees, because then I feel tired and it isn't nice to be outside in the sun. But I love Lithuanian spring and early autumn when it isn't too cold and the rain is warm. But I don't like when it rains in winter and there is no snow. It happens (nutinka) often in Lithuania now. I think it is because of global warming [uo/r/ming] (atšilimas)...

2. I like Maxima shops. They look clean and tidy. I always go there to buy food. I find everything I need and it isn't expensive. I sometimes find nice cheap clothes there. Also, I don't have to wait for long time at check-outs ([čekauts] - kasos), the line ([lain] eilė) moves fast.
i don't like eating out in Lithuania. I think food in Lithuanian restaurants and cafes is expensive and not very fresh or delicious. I prefer to cook and eat at home. I'm happy that I work and live in a small town and I have time to make my meals. I see lots of Lithuanian people eating their homemade food at work.
I don't like Lithuanian banks because they ask costumers to pay for all bank services when in the UK bank cards and ATMs are for free.

3. I think Lithuanians are polite but they aren't very friendly with strangers ([streindžez] svetimais). They like to keep distance (išlaikyti atstumą), they prefer to spend their time with their families. Lithuanian drivers are very polite and they usually let pass the pedestrains on the crossing. But some drivers don't stop if there aren't traffic lights, so pedestrians have to be careful.

So , what do you think of life in Lithuania? Write soon!

1.I think the weather in Lithuania is nice when we can watch the changing seasons and colors in nature. I love autumn because there is a lot of yellow.But I'm sad when it rains and there is a little sun.
2.I like Agis shop.Here I can find good and fresh food.I buy vegetables in IKI shop.I prefer to cook and eat at home.I think food in Lithuanian restaurants and cafes is expensive.But sometimes when I go to another city,I like with and my girlfriends or my daughter like to go to eat or drink coffee in a cafe or a restaurant.I like to taste good and more interesting dishes.
3.I think in Lithuania you can meet different people.There are good and fun people,but there are angry and who aren't friendly.Because there is bad policy,everything expensive or there is [color=]a[/color] little sun and missing=lack of vitamin D.The same I can say --->the same about drivers.

Wonderful!
Remember:
little - mažai; People in Lithuania soetimes are angry, they are in a bad mood because there is little (mažai) sun.
a little - truputį...like in the popular Lithuanian song: a little sunshine, a little loving (truputį saulės, truputį meilės ir šiam pasaulį vėl gera bus)
missing - trūkstamas, tačiau trūkumas (daktavardis) - lack [lea:k]

1. The weather in Lithuania is nice. I like the spring because nature is beautiful. Everywhere THERE are green trees, a lot of flowers, birds are singing. I like summer. In the summer the weather is warm. I can swim in the river. I can work in the kitchen-garden. The autumn is also beautiful. Tree leaves are red, yellow, brown. Birds are flying to warm countries. In my kitchen-gardenTHERE are vegetables, in the garden - fruits. It's great. The winter is white, wonderful. You can take photos and you can see why it is wonderful.
2. I usually go to Maxima's shops. Maybe I like these shops? I don't know. I shopping fast. I go to another shops too.
I like homemade food. I sometimes eat in a cafe. Then I think food in a cafe is delicious.
3. I usually meet friendly people. Drivers let pass pedestrians but pedestrians always have to be careful.

Well done! Just don't forget THERE (there is, there are = yra)
Maxima shops, a Maxima shop - 's usually goes with people names, but not with company names...('s paprastai būna su žmonių vardais, o ne su kompanijų pavadinaimais)

1. The weather in Lithuania is different, but I like summer, because summer can be a=has more nature.But in the summer is very short. I don't like bad weather when it is
cold, wet, and windy.
2. I live near IKI the shops and there I often visited. In Lithuanian restaurants and cafes are=it is (yra) expensive, but sometimes I visit a cafe and drink coffee or juices and
order to eat.
3. I think drivers is=are different. I was spalshed with water many times.

Very good!
I agree with you! Drivers who splash water on pedestrians are very bad! I feel for you (užjaučiu jus) because it happened to me too!

1. I think, that Lithuania is a very beautiful country. It has a lot of green forests and fields. A lot of cities are nice and tidy. But we have a little (mažai) sun, a lot of clouds in the sky and rain. I love winter, when it's snowing and I like summer, when the sun is shining.

2. I like the supermarkets (you speak in general - kalbate apskritai), here you can find everything. I make food at home. I don’t eat in a restaurants, I thingk, that food in Lithuanian restaurants is expensive. But there are in Vilnius city many cozy cafes and restaurants, where I would love to drink coffee and chat with friends in=at the weekend.

3. I think, that Lithuanian people are friendly, but they are sad, do not=there is no smile in=on their faces. Lithuanian drivers are very different. Some drivers are very polite. Other drivers are irresponsible, they are dangerous in the roads.

Lithuanians - lietuviai; arba Lithuanian people - lietuviai;

laikosi taisyklių - they keep to rules

2. Write very shortly about your job by answering (atsakydami) to the questionaire (page 22 in the student's book):
special qualifications [spešal kalifikeišns] - profesinis parengimas, to earn [io/r/n] - uždirbti ([io:] tarimą rasite šios pamokos iTutor)

Jurate's answers about her job:
I usually work inside. I spend hours in my office at the library, but I also go outside a few times a month and I walk round Pasvalys with invitations and posters
to library events (bibliotekos renginius)

I work regular working hours: 5 workdays a week from Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 5 pm with one hour for a lunch break. Sometimes when I'm late with a task, I work extra hours at home on my computer.

At my work, I spend a lot of hours at the computer. There are a lot of people around me: library staff, library visitors. I sometimes start to feel stressed and I start to dream about quiet time alone. Then I usually take a week off work to relax at home.

I don't make things at work, I do paperwork (dirbu su dokumentais) and I advertise. We don't wear uniforms at the library but we have to dress clean and tidy. At work I speak Lithuanian and English. Very rarely I have to use French and Russian. I don't drive, although (nors) I have a driving licence. I travelled for work in the past. I went on business trips to Spain, to Greece, to Germany and to Slovenia.

I don't have special qualifications for a job at the library. There is a new law in Lithuania that librarians who don't get qualifications in five years, must be fired (to be fired [fajed] - būti atleistam iš darbo). I still don't know what I'm going to do. I'm thinking at the moment...
