Today we will revise (pakartosime) have lived, have done (present perfect: gyvenu, veikiu nuo tam tikro laiko ir dabar ):
www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/co...session-3/activity-1




Put the words in a correct order. Some words aren't necessary!
1
year for lived UK in since four Melissa one three months the has and
2
has for in lived three months London 2012 since Arta
3
Maryam for months years UK have lived has since the in eight
4
have in since Javier lived London eight for has months
5
years UK lived in have the has since is Jie for three

How did you do? Here’s a reminder of the form:

He has lived in London for 3 years.
She has studied at the college for 3 months.

When we are speaking, we often contract the verb has like this:

He’s lived here for 3 years.
She’s studied at the college for 3 months.


You heard three of the students talking about what has happened to them since they came to the UK. In the next activity, you’ll be able to read a bit more about this. What do you think is the most interesting thing that’s happened to them?

www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/co...session-3/activity-2



Now you've read what the students said, how much can you remember about what they said? Try the exercise to make sentences about what they've done.
1
Melissa has/ have/ had improved her English since coming to the UK.
2
Jie has finded/ found/ finding the weather in the UK quite strange.
3
Since/ For she came to the UK, Kinga has seen popstars perform on stage.
4
Maryam has experienced/ experience/ experiencing more peace in the UK than in her country.
5
Javier has taken/ left/ made some new friends since he moving/moves/moved to the UK.

We hope you enjoyed hearing about the ESOL students' different experiences of life in the UK. You've heard all about their lives and how long they've lived in this country. They used for to talk about how long they have been here and since to say what their life has been like since the day they arrived.

My special experience of this year:
I have discovered a special and unique artist, music composer and performer John Maus. He has moved me deeply:



He is different from other singers because he doesn't care about his looks and tries to show emotional breakdowns [breikdaunz] (palūžimus) on the stage.
Sad fact: when he was on the world tour in the summer 2018, his brother, the guitarist of the band, died in Latvia because of the heart attack.
This is the only artist I would like to see to perform live [laiv] (gyvai). Now he is touring in his home country - the USA :( I can't go there...

This is his song "Hey, Moon" (Sveikas, mėnuli...)


I know it's been (=has been) so long since we saw each other last
I'm sure we'll find some way to make the time pass
Hey Moon
it's just you and me tonight
everyone else is asleep
hey Moon
if I was to fall, i won't fall so deep

Though I doubt I'm gonna
You can wake me up if you wanna
and your pale round face
makes me feel at home in any place
It happens to be
at a quarter past three

The Moon chased the Sun out of the sky
Goodbye, Sun!
The night's begun (=has begun - yra prasidėjusi ir dar nepasibaigusi)
the Moon chased the Sun out of the sky
Goodbye, sunshine! .....

Aš žinau, praėjo tiek daug laiko, nuo tada, kai mes matėmės paskutinį sykį.
Tikiu, kad surasime, kaip praleisti laiką kartu.
Sveikas, Mėnuli,
Tai tik tu ir aš šiąnakt.
Visi kiti miega.
Sveikas, Mėnuli,
Jeigu aš pulčiau,
Pulčiau taip žemai...

Nors visgi, abejoju, ar taip nutiks,
Tu gali mane prikelti, jei nori.
Ir tavo apvalus kūdikiškas veidas
Leidžia man jaustis namuose bet kurioje vietoje.
Taip nutiko, kad dabar yra
Penkiolika po trijų...

Mėnulis nuvijo Saulę nuo dangaus.
Sudie, Saule!
Mėnulis nuvijo Saulę nuo dangaus,
Sudie, saulės šviesa!

Transcript of the video:
DĖMESIO: Spoileris! [ Spustelėkite, kad išplėsti ]


Write on the Forum:
a generation [dženereišn] - karta;
the noughties [noti:z] - pirmas dešimtmetis 2000-aisiais; žodis kilo nuo britiško nulio pavadinimo: nought [not] Amerikoje "the noughties" nesakoma .
a catering company - vaišes renginiuose organizuojanti kompanija; to cater for - patenkinti poreikius: I catered lunch for twenty people (Aš buvau nusamdytas ir suruošiau pietus 20 žmonių) The school caters for deaf children (Mokykla yra skirta/tenkina poreikius kurčių vaikų)
a savvy consumer [se: vi kan sju: me] - išprusęs, įgudęs vartotojas

1
What generation are you?
2
What interesting did happen to you in the noughties (the first decade of the 2000s)? Was there a lot of struggle?
3
Have you ever hired a catering company for celebrations in your family or at work?
4
Are you a savvy consumer? Do you think twice before buying? Do you check online the brand, where the purchase comes from and what other costumers are saying?


Jurate's answers:
1. I'm from Genertion Z. I was born in the middle of the 1970s, the time when people started to be more relaxed about divorces and mothers had jobs instead (užuot) being housewives.
2. In the early noughties I moved from Vilnius to Pasvalys and found a job in two years. It was a little bit of a struggle being jobless and trying to save money for household bills. I also passed my driving test and got my driving license. I don't drive though. I'm not savvy with cars!
3.I've never had to hire a catering company myself. When we had our grandparents' funerals my uncle did it for me. He hired cooks At Rimas' pub and we had our funeral receptions there.
4. I'm not a very savvy consumer because I rarely think carefully before buying something. I just go for it at once!
