Monday 2019/20

Do you remember? We listened in the class about the book " Order of Birth". The author of the book believes the children have different personalities:
the oldest is the most responsible, reliable and bossy; I think responsible.
the middle child is sociable, affectionate and relaxed; -sociable.
the youngest is outgoing, spoiled and rebellious.-outgoing.
an only child is independent, selfish and mature. – selfish.

1. What child by the order of birth are you? I‘m the youngest child in my family.
2. What character traits [karakte treits] do you see in yourself? My sibling says I'm a spoiled child. but I don‘t think so. I did all the housework. Maybe I‘m outgoing and stubborn.

1. What child by the order of birth are you?
I‘m the only child in my family.

2. What character traits [karakte treits] do you see in yourself?
My parents say I was a very moody person in my childhood. My moods used to change very fast, but now I think I have learned how to control it.
I was ambitious, if I set a goal for myself I would make it. I used to be reactive, impatient and stubborn, but now I have become more calm and responsible.

I'm the only child too!
People often tell me that I seem sociable and outgoing, but I need a lot of time to myself, I prefer being alone than in a group. I don't like talking much about my feelings - I am reserved. Also, people say that sometimes I'm being childish, but I think that I'm very mature, I just care about different things!

Next time we are meeting on the 17th of February!
You have a two-week break.
Don't neglect (neapleiskite) English, practice it a little bit every day!

Have you heard the new Lithuanian Eurovision song "On Fire" ?

I'm a human, not a stone
I can make a change and go
Wherever I want to.
They told me maybe I'm too old
But there's fire in my soul.

The heat is getting higher,
I feel that I'm on fire.
The world is my desire,
I feel that I'm on fire.

There's no doubt I'm strong enough
To reach the state I've dreamed of,
It's gonna happen
And I will do what I can,
Just to be a better man

The heat is getting higher...

( I ) Can't believe it took so long
To take an action and move on,
No one can stop me
Through the clouds, there comes the sun
And I'm ready for some fun!

The heat is getting higher...

See you!

The great song

We are also going to listen to song "Girls And Boys" in class.

Please answer these questions on the Forum:
Do you prefer to pay in cash or by card at shops?
Do you buy things with a loan (išsimokėtinai)? Or do you save up (susitaupote) and pay at once?

Jurate's answers:
These days I always use my card to pay for my shopping in supermarkets. I only pay in cash when buying a ticket on a bus because bus drivers don't have card readers with them.

For big purchases [pe:/r/česiz] (pirkiniai) I usually take a loan. I bought my washing machine, my cooker and all of my computers like this. Now I am going to buy a smartphone with a loan. I will need to transfer (perversti) a 60 euros monthly payment for 10 months. I have chosen to buy Huawei P30 Pro because of good online reviews about its camera. Do you think Huawei are good phones?

Are you worried about the spread [spred] (plitimas) of coronavirus [koronavaires]? Do you know the latest facts and what to do in case of the virus outbreak [autbreik] (protrūkis) in Lithuania?
We are going to talk about coronavirus a little bit on Monday, the second of March!


www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51048366





Let's not panic!


Should we wear masks against coronavirus? A doctor answers:

We had a number of questions about practical matters, especially prophylactic. How do we reduce the likelihood of being infected. People wrote in about face masks, do they really work for this specific virus, one person wrote in about antibacterial hand gels. She points out surely antibacterial won‘t work against viruses. What are the measures that we should or could be taking that will reduce the likelihood of infection?
So if we deal with the face masks first – there‘s very little evidence that they will protect us from the coronavirus or indeed any other viral infection. Because we wear the masks for too long a period, we not particularly very good at changing the masks, so that we can pick up viruses on our fingers and then when we change the mask we can accidentally touch our eyes, our nose or our mouth. So the general consensus view is that they are mot very effective.
What is effective is good personal hygiene. So we know that most of the time we pick up these sorts of viruses by touching contaminated surfaces, things like computer keyboards, door handles or the handrails on the underground. So once you have got that virus on your fingers, if you then touch a susceptible part of your body, like your nose or your mouth, you could transfer the virus and you can become infected. So the best way is to keep your hands as clean as you can. Soap and water is very effective against things like coronaviruses. The hands‘ gels, the alcohol-containing hand gels are also effective against it. And of course, the other thing is that we need to ask our fellow citizens to be considerate when they‘ ve got respiratory infections themselves by sneezing into a tissue or sneezing into a fold of their elbow. So that they can limit the amount of the contamination that they generate and also for them to wash their hands regularly.

Sometimes I use my card, sometimes I settle in cash. I pay my taxes online.
I don't buy thigs on a loan. I'm trying to save up or I don't buy altogether.
I don't buy things with a loan. I try to save up or I don't buy at all.

Hello, Vytas! How are you? Are you staying at home?
I am staying at home. I'm working from home now.
I go shopping once a week. I cycle to my garden almost every day.
I and my mother have made masks from paper towel and tissues:



The bad news is that everyone is a potential victim
But 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.
Paprotinkim žmones dezinfekuotis,
Išlaikyti atstumą ir karantinuotis!

The virus on the surfaces is killed best by bleach, alcohol (more than 60%) and hydrogen peroxide
Virusas ant paviršių sunaikinamas geriausia su chloru, alkoholiu ir vandenilio peroksidu
It is important to ventilate rooms, but not with air conditioning
Yra svarbu vėdinti patalpas, bet ne su kondicionieriumi.
The virus dies at 56 degrees. It survives in a freezer.
Virusas žūsta 56 laipsnių temperatūroje. Išgyvena šaldiklyje.
