About Jurate's job:

2. For me the most interesting place I have ever visited was Berlin. I saw only a little part of Berlin but I was amazed.

In the day I visited a huge art museum and a wonderful zoo and in the evening I went to the night club district but I did't go inside any night club.
3. My normal day is sitting at the computer most of the time and posting photos and texts online. Also, going around the library with the camera and taking photos of events at the library.
4. I meet a lot of interesting people at my work. They are writers, social activists, politicians, students. The most memorable person I have met at the library was the writer Juozas Glinskis. He visited our library ten years ago and was very simple and modest. His hands were shaking because of Parkinsons' illness and it was difficult for him to give autographs. Also, the poet Vitalijus Šopis. He arrived at the library a little bit drunk and read a poem about "shit" for old ladies.
5. Sometimes at work I feel scared when I make a silly mistake in an advertisement.
6. I relax when I go out the library with posters and invitations to deliver to the schools, to the municipality and to put posters on the town advertisement boards.
7. The worst thing at work is the stress when planning something new or getting ready for big events.

Today we are continuing to talk about Present Perfect.

Susan Boyle has been famous since 2009 (since - nuo)

Because she sang at the contest "Britain's Got Talent"


I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed, that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

We are going to do the exercise:
