Friday 2018/19

Hello. This story I read= I read this story. He forgot his keys and he could not get back in without them. Hi would have to ring the front door bell. His alibi was destroyed.

Yes, that's right. Isn't it sad and funny that he didn't kill, but was sentenced to death (nuteistas mirti) because he didn't have an alibi?

Here's a question for the fourth story about a French thief and a priest:
3. Why did the thief and the detective take off their hats to the priest?
to knock over - išversti, išvartyti; a heath - dykynė, laukai; Hampstead Heath - a park in London


The last question for the final story:
4. Why did the killer murder the beautiful lady's maid?
a maid - kambarinė; cash on delivery - grynieji įvykdžius darbą; to deliver - atlikti/pristatyti užsakymą

If I understood correctly. Becouse the priest deceived Flambew and helped the detective catch him.

Please write on the Forum: Are you a spender or a saver? Why?

I would say that I'm spender. I spend money on things like concerts, o on trips or buying clothes. I like to spend money. I think I'm working when I‘ll spend money and not save them.

I spend all my money fast. I earn over 200 euros. It's a low salary. But I like my job. I sometimes give money for charity. Because I see people need money on food, clothes and various things. We need money on stupid things too.

Mine salary is low but I like mine job.I dislike to waste mine money.Money is money and I soon spend it.I like shoping in tne internet and in the big shopcenters.Usually I am spend money for buying clothes and small things.

Do you live on your salary? Where do you spend it on?

Jurate's income
My monthly income is fairly enough to live on sufficiently [siu-fi-šentli] (patenkinamai) for me. There's enough to pay my household bills which I share with my Mom, because we live together in the same flat and she insists (reikalauja) on paying half of the bills with her pension [penšn] money. And after paying the bills, I still have enough money left on my bank account to go to a local supermarket and shop for daily food and some clothes without thinking about expenditure [ekspendiče]. I'm not a saver, but my daily needs are moderate, so I don't waste much. That's why there's always an amount of money on my bank account. My bank has given me a consumer credit up to 100 euros on my card, but I never use it. I have saved up enough to afford to pay in the nearest future for my mother's wish - a fence [fens] (tvora) around our garden. I was very surprised to learn how expensive a simple fence is nowadays! (It's over 1000 Euros with the installation. )

Vilma's and Arvydas' homework

Our monthly income is enough to live on for us. There's enough to pay household bills. I share it with my parents and Arvydas shares it with his parents. After paying the bills we still have money for daily food and other things we need. We don't waste much. But we like to go to the cultural=culture centre and we buy tickets there. A few times a year we go to the opera house or to the cinema to watch new films. We like comedies and romantic dramas.
But I need more money. So, this week I started my second job in Biržai.

20 years ago, when I was a student in Vilnius, I didn't submit my papers in time and I didn't get my allowance for a whole year. I thought this money was lost forever for me, but next autumn I found an incredible sum of 500 Litas in my bank account! I felt like at Christmas. I spent all the money in a few days. On the same first day I went to the biggest electronics shop and I bought a juicer for my mother and a food processor for my gran. I also bought warm leather shoes for myself in an expensive department shop. The rest of the money, I spent it with my friends from the hall of residence. I invited them to a pub in the old town.. It was a nice celebration of the start of a new year at university

Vilma's homework
1. Arvydas' mother set up a business. It was successful.
2. I'm not interested in politics or economics. So, I don't know what to answer.
3. I have never been completely broken. Maybe I would borrow some money.
4. I have never got a large sum unexpectedly.

Arvydas' homework
1. My friend Saulius set up a business. He worked with investment funds. That business was succesful.
2. During last recession I was in UK. I didn't know anything about troubles or difficulties.
3.I have never been completely broken. I have saved money.
4. I have got one bonus from my last job in UK. I saved this money.

broken - sulūžęs
It doesn't matter that you've never been broke. The question is: what would you do if you were broke?

2. The last recession in Lithuania was ten years ago. This recession was one of the strongest. It affected all markets. There was a lot of borrowing.
