MONDAY 17/18

Christmas
I really love Christmas and it's my favourite holiday. I always decorate our home for Christmas. So I decorated windows with fairy lights, on the table I put the Advent wreath with four candels. On the door I hanged beels. On our Christmas Tree I put baubles, stars and fairy ligths. All our family got presents from Santa Claus. I like this presents. At Christmas we ate a lot, but didn't put on weight. Wasn't my favourite dish, because all dishes were delicious. I usually wear a Christmas sweater at Christmas. It's read and with snowflakes. We never stay at home at Christmas. We went to my parents home.

candles.... bells.... There wasn't my favourite dish.... We went to my parents' home....

This is about me eating out (apie save valgančią ne namie):

I don't like eating out because homemade food that I make is the best for me. I'm lucky to work near my home so I have time to come back for lunch.
But sometimes when I'm on a trip I have to eat out. The last time I ate out was in September when I visited Birzai castle with some guests. We went to Birzai castle restaurant for a lunch. I ordered vegetable soup and potato pancakes and I drank a double espresso with a shot [šot] (taurele) of vodka.
Birzai castle restaurant is very luxurious, the furniture is vintage [vintadž] (old) style . All the tables are dressed in white. The restaurant is dark and there are some private areas. They serve high quality food and it's expensive. The waiters wear smart uniforms and are very polite.

Last Sunday we were in Vilnius. We walked down the center of Vilnius. We looked at the Christmas tree, there were many outdoor market places so we took coffee and tea. We went to the Cathedral. We visited the Rotuse and Vilnius Old Town, which is very beautiful ,colourful in the summer.
After then we went to '' Extra Pizza'' and ordered two big pizza_ with cola.
It was a good and fun day spend with _ family.

Wonderful!
Two mistakes:
1.. .. ordered two big pizzas (daugiskaita)
2. It was a good and fun day spent with the family (spent - praleista; to spend - praleisti)

Rotušę galima versti angliškai : The City Hall [hol]

and order cepelinus .It isn't my favourite place to eat.Our lunch was terrible.not
delicious.So we cam_ back home very angry. = We came

Hi, Nina. I think homemade cepelinai are the best! I can make delicious cepelinai or potato dumplings. I have an electric potato grater [greite] (el. bulvių tarka)

learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/learn...series-03-episode-17 (some exercises)

I rarely eat out. Last time I ate out in the China restaurant. There I was _ the first time. I ordered beef dish with rice and I drank white wine glass. The restaurant is small but comfortable. The food it's tasty but expensive. Though expensive everywhere! So I like eating homemade food.
In one caffe in Panevežys there is a very delicious green cocktail. It is made of apple, banana, spinach and ... I forget about what else. So my favourite place to eat out is where the cocktail is made.

Wonderful!
Some very small mistakes:
There I was for the first time (kokį kartą - for)

Do you like adverts like Annie does (kaip Anė)? Do you have a favourite ad?

I don't watch TV ads. They usually annoy [anoi] (erzina, įkyri) me, because the Lithuanian TV channels like to put long advertisements in the middle [midl] (į vidurį) of a film or a TV show.
I like short ads that are about 10 seconds long. I like ads that are funny (juokingi) and have a good song.
I don't have a favourite ad now, but I loved one Christmas ad on British TV.

I don't like tv adverts because they are long and many seen. I like funny and short ads. Sometims they provide information about tv shows, concerts , events . Then don't need tv programs and I use them...
