Tuesday 2019/20

We are in the quarantine until April. The English classes are cancelled.
Stay safe, protect yourselves and others.
We will win the war against coronavirus!
Mes karantine iki blanadžio. Anglų pamokos nevyks.
Būkite saugūs, saugokite save ir kitus.
Mes laimėsime karą su koronavirusu.


Please, do your English homework.
I am waiting for your comments!
Darykite namų darbus. Laukiu Jūsų komentarų!

Later I will post more homework for you if you want. Let's not forget English...

What to do at home:
1.
Open your Student Book, go down (žemyn) to Vocabulary Bank and open page 155 - The Family.
Learn new words, do the exercises b and c .

MARRIED - vedęs; DIVORCED- išsiskyręs

Per vedybas įgytos giminės anglų kalboje gale turi priedelį -in-law [in lo]: mama - mother, uošvienė - mother-in-law; tėvas -father, uošvis - father-in-law; duktė -daughter, marti - daughter-in-law; sūnus - son, žentas - son-in-law ir taip toliau. Giminių pavadinimai tiek iš vyro, tiek iš žmons pusės vienodi, visi yra "in-laws" [in loz]
Jei tėvai veda antrąkart, jų nauja šeima gauna priekyje priedėlį step: tėvas - father; patėvis - stepfather, pamotė - stepmother , įbrolis - stepbrother ir taip toliau...

2.
Do the exercises in Workbook, pages 24-25 (File 4A) :
to be interested in - domėtis kuo nors (I am interested in politics)
royalty [rojalti] - karališka šeima
celebrity [selebriti] - garsenybė

Daina apie rankų plovimą vietnamiečių kalba su angliškais subtitrais:

Let's wash our hands - Plaukime rankas
Rub, rub, rub them! - Trinkime, trinkime, trinkime jas!
Don't put your hands - Nedėk savo rankų
on eyes, mouth, nose - ant burnos, akių, nosies
And limit going to crowded places - Ir apribok ėjimą į žmonių pilnas vietas
Fight back against corona! - Kovok prieš koroną!
Always strengthen your health - Nuolat stiprink sveikatą
And keep your environment clean - Ir palaikyk savo aplinką švarią
Together let's raise our awareness - Drauge ugdykime savo sąmoningumą
Fight back against corona! - Kovokime prieš koroną!

Jurate's family
My close (artimiausia) family isn't big: it is only me and my mother. We live together in the same flat. My father and my mother were divorced and my father died twenty years ago. I have my father's family in Pasvalys: his brother - my uncle, and my uncle's wife -my aunt. I have two cousins and to nieces who live near Pasvalys, but we don't meet.
My mother's family is from Radviliskis. There are three my mother's brothers and three sisters who live in Lithuania and abroad. I have a lot of cousins who are also in Lithuania and abroad. We don't meet often. The last time I met my cousin and my aunt was three years ago when they came to visit us in Pasvalys.

Hello, I' m very happy about beeing at home. I think, this is a special situat
ion. I don't remember that much. A fire, storm and accident has clear
boundaries,beginning and end. But now it is unclear what can happen and where. Our society is spotty=erratic and disobedient. Especially the younger part of it. Coronavirus is a test and a tutorial=a lesson.

Now I will write about my family. My family is small now. I live with my husband in our apartment. We are retired. My daughter lives in London and my son lives in Vilnius. They both are unmarried. I have no grandchildren. I have one brother. He with =and his family live in Kaunas for a long time. There live my brother's two children live - my nephew and niece. They are both married recently. My brother and his wife have one granddaughter. They and son's family live in one big private house. I like their large backyard and surroundings.
My parents are dead=died long ago - 10and 12 years. They had several brothers and sisters. I have a lot of cousins. They live in Lithuania and abroad. One son of my cousin (aged 24) lives in Japan. He had a plan to explore the world.
My family members live for=a apart. I meet children and relatives not often. It happens during public holidays. Information technology helps me communicate with everyone.

Wonderful account!

I totally agree with you Birute! This quarantine is unprecedented [anpresedentid] (be precedentų), it will test our health services and the unity of people. I like what the French President Emannuel Macron said -that we are fighting the war against the invisible ennemy.
The situation feels very strange. Today I went for a walk across Sinkholes Park , the weather was very good, the sun shined, birds sang, but the streets were empty, almost no cars.

I went to the shopping centre, bought some products. When I got home I washed all the products with water and soap. That's what British doctors told people to do on TV. They say that soap destroys [distroiz] the virus [vaires] and it can't get inside the cells [sels] (ląstelės) anymore.

Write how you are doing. It is always nice to hear from you

Also, here is a new task (nauja užduotis) for you:

Kurie žodžiai yra pardavėjos, o kurie - pirkėjos?

2.

Good news! Chinese doctors have medicine against coronavirus. It is called Favilavir:

Hello,

My family is not big. I live with my husband. Now we are both retired. We have two children: a daughter and a son. Both children live and work in Denmark. We talk to them over the phone or Skype. We meet once or twice a year. We fly by plane or they fly to Lithuania with family. The son has a girl and a boy. So we have two grandchildren. The daughter is unmarried but has a friend.
I have two sisters. I'm the eldest. I have no brothers. I have two nieces and two nephews. I have six cousins. We meet rarely. Mostly we talk on the phone. I have two aunts and two uncles.

Wonderful! Thank you, Red Rose

Here is a new song about corona from Africa:


The bad news is that everyone is a potential victim
the good news is that everyone is a potential solution
Sensitize the masses to sanitize
Keep a social distance and quarantine
Bloga naujiena, kad kiekvienas yra galima auka
Gera naujiena, kad kiekvienas yra galimas išsigelbėjimas
Paprotinkime žmones dezinfekuotis,
Išlaikyti bendravimo atstumą ir karantinuotis.
The corona virus is sweeping over mankind
Everybody must be alert
'It's a global pandemic we can never take for granted
Korona virusas lekia per žmoniją
Visi turi būti pasirengę
Tai pasaulinė pandemija, kuriai mes turime nepasiduoti
Discipline and personal hygiene
and make sure you regularly wash your hands
Keep a distance from everyone
Report anything like a symptom
Disciplina ir asmeninė higiena,
Ir pasistenk reguliariai plauti rankas,
Išlaikyk atstumą nuo visų,
Pranešk apie bet kokį simptomą
Seriuos fever is a symptom
Dry cough is a symptom
Itchy eyes and flu is a symptom
Aukšta temperatūra yra simptomas
Sausas kosulys yra simptomas
Paraudusios akys ir gripas yra simptomas.

Hello! Diferent thoughts come in my head about virus COVID - 19. I see disturbing images from the world. It is hard to believe for us that whole world is so connected. People travel a lot. It is difficult to stop quickly international business, trade, tourism. We believe the vaccine will be developed. It's sad , but now we need human sacficies all over the world.
We cannot help each other if we have a corona virus and we are in the hospital. Children cannot be with their parents even when they die. It worries me.
There is also a good thing here. We realized that hygiene, cleanness, discipline, orderliness are necessary and important for every nation. We are waiting for more sunshine. A good mood and outdoor work will improve our health.
Every day I make a vegetable salad and boil a lean soup. I made a mixture with lemon, honey,ginger root,aloe. We take after a teaspoon.
I wish you good health. Everything is by the will of God.

I want to correct - sacrifices [aukos}

Sorry Jurate, I was so so lazy to do my homework. But now I am sitting at work and chilling

Some information about my family:

I'm single, I mean I don't have brothers or sisters
My family isn't big. I have a mother and father but I live alone in a flat. I have my father's family in Pasvalys: my cousin, aunt, grandpa and grandma. I have four cousins. My cousin Kostas lives in Šiauliai, he is the croupier. Cousin Akvilė is a student, she will be a cosmetologist=beautician. Another cousin Elvyra now lives in Germany, she works with American football as a trainer. The youngest cousin Gustas is going to school. We don't meet often. We usually meet each other during the holidays.
My mother's family is from Pervalkai. There are =is one of my mother's brothers who live=lives together with my grandmother.

Thanks, Monika, but you have written not in your group.

It reminds me that I should make a new online Forum for Pasvalys English learners...

Laba diena, keletą sakinių rašau lietuviškai. Angliškai parašysiu rytoj. Sužinojau, kad mūsų susitikimai nebevyks įprastu būdu bibliotekoje. Taip nurodė bibliotekos administracija . Kai būsite šiame puslapyje, parašykite mums, kaip mes galėtume bendrauti. Jeigu atsiras Facebook grupė, tai parašykite, koks bus jos pavadinimas. Linkiu sveikatos ir nenusiminti. Birutė.

Thank you Birute for not forgetting about our classes
I came back from my distance learning classes on Sunday and on the second of November I went to work, but my director told me to go home and work there .
Almost all the librarians are working from home now. It is going to be like this for three weeks I think.
I think we will meet and practice our English online.
Maybe we could organise video meetings online and talk a little live? At Kaunas College we had our classes through Google Meets website ( apps.google.com/meet/ ) . Google Meets are free and for everyone, it is very easy to use.
I also will make a Facebook Group for us this week or next. I will post a link on our Forum.
How are you? Have you done your English exercises? Haven't you caught a cold? How is Pasvalys market? Is the Latvian fishmonger still coming with fresh fish?

Hello, Jurate. It is a pity that we cannot meet in English lessons. Last spring diferent thorghts had come
in my head about virus COVID - 19. Now we have more clarity and less fear. I and my husband had vaccinated against the flu. I have linden blossoms ,raspberry leaves,,calendula, chamomile for tea. We wear masks on the street and in the market. I don't like them. My nose was injured 12 years ago. Now my nose gets wet quickly , it's very uncomfortble. We worked in Pasvalys market last Saturday and Sunday. The Latvian fishmanger had come with fresh fish. People usually come to the market just to buy food..
I did my English homework . It is quite difficult to use the required time. Write if there will be any news.

Let's meet online at Google meets on Wednesday (November the 11th) at 5 PM

At the time copy this link into your browser's address box: meet.google.com/vur-scrn-tug

It will open a window to our live online meeting. Allow your computer (or smartphone) to use the video and the microphone. You will be able (galėsite) to switch it on and off if you wish.

I hope it will work OK. It is my first time to present a Google meet

See you ❤️

Is 5 PM on Wednesday convenient for you to meet?
