Tuesday 2019/20

In the summer I like cycling in Pasvalys. I live near street Biržu. This street has been renovated recently. The cars drivers usuaally drive carefully. The road near the our garden is narrow and winding. I go slowly there. I would like more bikes trails in Pasvalys.

My first trip to abroad was to Paris. It was ten years ago, in march=March. There I liked the nice behavior of people on the street, lots of smiles. I tasted unusual food: real sushi, fried snails, seafood, dried frog legs and original red wine. I loved watching the street artists. These were young , brilliant black guys.The weather was very good. I didn't want to go home because it was vinter here.

A wonderful comment. Thank you for sharing

Hello,
Zita's opinion:

1. I think Pasvalys is not safe for cyclists because there is no bicycle paths. On weekdays there are lots of cars. Often people take their bike on the sidewalk.
Outside the city, it is dangerous to drive because of the many big trucks.

2. I did not visit Britain. My trip to abroad was to Ireland. The weather in Ireland changes several times a day. It's the sun, it's raining. Very windy. In Ireland vegetation are green all year round.
Beautiful landscapes of Ireland. Many ancient castles.
Irish roads are narrow and winding, similar to bike lanes. Difficult to pass for two cars. The drivers are polite, stop and miss each other.
Ireland has many pubs. They taste beer there, talk, have fun. Their famous national Guinness beer. We were also at the bar and tasted Guinness beer. I would like to go to Ireland again.

I LOVE your comment . It was so interesting to read. No mistakes. Wonderful! Thank you a lot!

Jurate's first date
I went on my first date in Vilnius with a student I met at a dance night. We went to town to a bar. He was a nice and polite guy, but I was shy and felt uncomfortable. We didn't have much to talk. After an hour we said our goodbyes and went our ways. We never met again.

I went on my first date when I was 16.I was a student at the time. The guy Vytautas was a student at another school. We danced together at a school party. We met several times during the summer. We had a good time. We went to the cinema, biking, swimming in the lake. Vytautas was older than me. He was called up to the army for three years. We exchanged letters, but later
communication stopped.
We met when he came back. But we were only familiar=friends. Sad, but he died young in the =an accident.


I'm sick today. I'll not come to the English lesson. Sorry.

Get well, Birute! You wrote a wonderful memory!

Hello,

Write on the Forum!
How much coffee do you drink a day?
What kind of coffee do you like?
Do you go to a cafe to have a coffee? Do you buy coffee to take away?

Jurate's coffee drinking
I usually have one or two coffees a day. I drink coffee in the morning and sometimes in the evening. I like black coffee with milk. I have it without sugar but with a piece of chocolate.
I don't usually buy coffee at a cafe. If I go to a cafe when I'm travelling or with friends I prefer to buy tea. Maybe because tea is more refreshing [refrešing] (gaivinanti). I don't use coffee vending machines [vending mašyns] (kavos automatai).

Hello,

I usually drink three coffees a day. In the morning I usually drink Espresso from the machine. I like black coffee with a little sugar. I like something delicious with coffee.
Usually I don’t buy coffee at the cafe. If I travel by car then I drink coffee for take away.

Thank you! There are no mistakes!

Hello, I usually have coffee in the morning. I and my husband like black coffee with milk or cream widhout=t sugar. Sometimes I buy coffee in the market, especially when the weather is cold and wet.
I rarely buy coffee at a cafe. Such a small occasion requires more time. In the evening I like to drink a glass of warm milk or cocoa. This is a winter drink.
A cup of tea or coffee are best during an English lesson in our library.
