2017 TUESDAY

The best way to get from Lithuania to Canada is to fly by plane.Of course we can sail by ship and I think it will be very interesting,but it will bi=e a very long time and expensive.We usually fly by this route:Vilnius-Warsaw-Toronto-Vancouver-Kelowna.This year we will fly by the new route :Riga-London-Calgary-Kelowna.

My favourite city is Riga. Riga is the capital city of Latvia. There live abaut 700 000 people. I often goes his car in Riga.The city is the river Daugava. Riga is Airport, train and bus station, central Market, National Opera and theatrer, zoo. Many hotels, restaurants and cafes. Very nice old buildings, narrow streets. There are four churches. There Riga is very nise the summer and vinter.


In English 'there live' is wrong, 'there is', 'there are' are correct . You can say: There are 700000 people in Riga ... 700 000 people live in Riga...

Agne's favourite city
My favourite city is Ventspilis. Ventspilis is a town in the northwestern Latvia in the historical Courland region of Latvia, and it is the sixth largest city in the country. About thirty-nine thousand people live in this town. The best way to get to Ventspilis from Lithuania is by car or by bus.
I know Ventspilis, because I was there three times. I love Ventspilis because there are a many beautiful places. There is the Livonian Order Castle, the Seaside Open Air Museum, the South Pier, the Old Town, the Market Place, the Ostgals Park, the Deer Park, the Jungle Trail, the Anchor Trail, the Ostas Street, the Fountain “Sun Boats”, the Fountain “Ship Watcher” and there are a lot other fountains. There is the Swedish Rampart, the Bridge Garden, there are a lot of flower sculptures, cow sculptures. There is the International Writers And Translators House. Ventspils is a very beautiful city with many impressive buildings and other famous places. People are friendly and they speak English or Russian.
People go to eat to restaurants or to cafes. Food isn't very expensive. People can stay in camping sites, in guest houses, in country houses, in hostels, in holiday houses, in apartments, in hotels and other locations.
I think the best way to go around in the city is by cycling or walk it.(, o jei reikia pasakyti po - around. vaikščioti po jį = to walk around.)
I recommend to visit Ventspilis to everyone!

Jurate's week from the twentieth to the twenty sixth of March

On the twentieth of March it was Monday. The morning was terrible. The night before I went to bed late and I got up at 8:50 (eight:fifty) AM! I was late to my work and my director wasn't happy with me (nebuvo patenkinta manimi). I had my lunch at home at about one o'clock. After lunch the day was better [bete] (geresnė). I had an English class with four people from four to six o'clock. I love English classes! Then (tada), at six o'clock PM I went to the gym and I did exercise with a group of women. I love doing exercise! We did exercises until [antil] (iki) 7:30 (seven thirty) o'clock. I came home happy.

Tuesday morning was stressful (įtemptas, stresuotas) too. We had a meeting in our director's office. I don't like meetings at work. But in the evening I had an English class and I had a good time! After the class, I went for a walk for an hour. I went home happy.

Wednesday was a good day. At work we greeted [gri:t id] (pasveikinome) our colleague on her birthday. We bought flowers for her. After work I went to the gym again. After the gym I went for a walk with my cat.

Thursday was nice. At work I thought about my weekend. After work I went shopping and bought some food for my cat and three tulips for my Mom. Because tulips were beautiful and I liked them.

On Friday I went to work happy because it was the last day at work in this week. I was late twenty minutes and the director didn't see me. I had an English class in the afternoon. Six people came to the class and four of them didn't do their homework. After work I went out. There was snow outside, it was beautiful,
I walked to the town park and back. At home I watched videos on my computer until [antil] (iki) two o'clock in the morning.

I love Saturdays. On Saturday I stayed in bed until twelve o'clock. Then I got up and had my a big meal. I made a hot egg and sausage sandwich. The sandwich was huge. After the meal I went to my garden. I stayed at home in the evening. I was on my computer and I watched films and news in English.

On Sunday I was at home. I did housework. I cleaned my room and our kitchen, I washed [uošt] (ploviau) my clothes. In the evening I thought about tomorrow [tiumorou] (rytojus) at work. I don't like Sunday evenings! I stayed on my computer until two AM.

Thanks.Have a nice day Jūrate

Thank you! Every day has problems but nice words make big problems small. Have a good time at work and at home!
