    Story about one trip with past and present perfect or continues It was boring to sit there and watch at the middle age people were doing their workout. You know, this exercises at the swimming pool, where you need to flop and flounder to the music beat and coach commands. I have been sitting there and it was totally boring. It was early morning of the first week of May. The sea was cold yet and I've been trying to consider what to do for the rest of the day. It was obvious that there is nothing to do at the hotel, I had finished my coffee, grabbed my phone and putted it to the jeans’ pocket and went to the room. I had decided to go to the big city. While I had been crossing the receptions desk, I have seen the weather forecast. Its promises to be hot so I had decided to change. Shorts, sandals and T-shirt. It is good to wear light clothing - that’s another reason why I love the summer so much! We have been walking at the central Beldibi's street heading north, when one passing car were suddenly stopped. The car was old and simple and there were sitting a guy. He rolled down the window and offered to take us to the city because he was on the way. The man was Turkish in his late forties, had brown skin, dark hair with gray hair, one-week beard and childish-round smiley face. In all kind he looks nice and friendly. By agreeing to his offer we have headed to the Antalya together. From Beldibi to Antalya is about 20km so the road passed by very quickly and totally fun because this fellow were funny, knew not much of English or Russian and we knew not much of Turkish. That facts have turned the conversation to the mooing, laughing, hand's waving and gestures. He had showed to us some famous places near the road. We had seen the beaches, quiet fish restaurants, beautiful parks and a lot of more where we've taken many photos for the memory of that fun road trip. Thus was held our way to the center of the Antalya and the day was just beginning

    Москва

    Вчера я высказал свои мысли о жизни в деревне; сегодня хотел бы поговорить о жизни в Москве. Надеюсь, никого не обижу этой записью. Как я уже говорил, Москва - очень красивый город со множеством восхитительных зданий и богатой историей. Люблю русское метро и думаю, что было бы здорово, если бы такое было в каждом городе России. Но всё же, с точки зрения иностранца, мне не хотелось бы жить в Москве. (последнее предложение оторвано от смысла, т.к. "Но всё же" подразумевает, что ты опровергаешь предыдущее предложение или всю фразу. Кроме того фраза "с точки зрения иностранца" обобщает всех иностранцев, а не только твоё. Таким образом, если я правильно понял смысл, то лаконичнее будет звучать: Не смотря на то, что я нахожу этот город таким прекрасным, я не хотел бы в нём жить.). 

    Однажды я рассказал это другу из России; он был сильно удивлён этому, так как полагал, что каждый второй иностранец хочет жить в самом популярном городе России, в самом её центре - в Москве. Но почему? - спросил я. Ведь в России так много интересных городов. Возможно, они просто очень мало знают о стране.

     

    На ютубе я нашёл видео, снятое в Германии, в котором проводился опрос о России. Люди давали реально глупые ответы. Я сам часто замечаю это, когда говорю с немцами. Возьмём, например, Волгоград. Среднестатистический немец, с большой долей вероятности, даже не знает, где это находится и что это вообще такое. Ты ему говоришь: - "Это город в России, рядом с Волгой. Волга - одна из крупнейших рек на земле и самая большая в Европе. .... Примерно 900 км от Москвы." И, наконец-то, он поймёт.

    Слышал, что в Москве даже есть район, где, в основном, проживают одни только немцы. Я совсем не понимаю людей, которые живут там добровольно. Почему они вообще уехали из Германии? Чтобы в другой стране построить себе Новую Германию? И вообще, зачем ограничивать себя только общением с соотечественниками, когда в России можно встретить так много интересных людей, выучить их язык, проникнуться их культурой?!

    Specialized meat shop Today I saw a shop named "специализированный мясной магазин" ("Specializirovanniy Mjyasnoy Magazin" or "specialized meat shop" in English) in the city I living. It was an usual evening, nothing special about it. I was going to a local shoping mall to buy a new pair of jeans instead of the old one and there it is! That name! The shop sign was glowing red and very attractive. In the next 30 minutes I was not able to think about anything else but that name. You see, here, in Russia, I found this name for the first time and I think that there is not a lot of shops named like that. First word is really special, you know. "Specializirovanniy ". As you can see it's very long and it's more often used here for military shops or maybe for workwear shops where items are very specialized for their use. Therefore, the word's height is the most lowest of three because of its length. The second one is "mjyasnoy" (meet) - the tallest one and there is nothing special about it, I think. The last one - "magazin" (shop) is mid sized by height and there is notnig about it too. Thereby, the shop sign consists of three words of different heights and it's unpronounceable at all. And, yes, it glows red! It would be cool if is also flashes, I think, but unfourtunatly it wasn't. I'm not sure what were they thinking, but as you can see - the whole sign looks "awwwsome". - Hey, Ivan, where were you been? - I've been shopping at the "Specializirovanniy Mjyasnoy Magazin", you know. As usual. - Is it that one "Specializirovanniy Mjyasnoy Magazin" on Lenina street? - No. That was closed last Sunday. It's the same, but on Repina street. - Ok, meet me at the "Specializirovanniy Mjyasnoy Magazin" next Sunday at 6 o'clock. - Deal! See you!

    Averchenko Arkadiy Timofeevich. The Impossible. The teacher of History, Maksim Ivanovich Tachkin, was sitting bowed his head to the teacher-journal and was listing it in ominous silence. -- Let's call to the blackboard... well, though, at least... Sinyuhin Nikolay! Sinukhin Nikolay immediately turned pale, lowered his head, approached the chair and opened his mouth twisted frantically. -- Well? - encouraged him Tachkin. -- I do not know the lesson... - looking out the window, frightened Sinyuhin said. -- Yeah? - seemingly surprised Tachkin. -- Why not? Would you explain me?.. Sinyuhin Nikolay would need to be explained that the system "from here to here" and "repeat what was set last Wednesday" - so dry system that it could not interest Sinyuhin. Sinyuhin could be said that he tried several times to get a gasp of the book, serveral times started "from here", but the dry facts that not excited a fervered imagination were mixed, scattered and interfered Sinyuhin to get this "to here" with their unnecessary bulkiness; to get this lovely "to here" that luring each swoted diligent student with its comfort and freedom.

    Homework 1 EG, Unit 4, Introduction We use continuous forms for actions and happenings that have started but not finished (they are eating / it is raining etc.). Some verbs (for example, know and like) are not normally used in this way. We don't say 'I am knowing' or 'they are liking'; we say 'I know', 'they like'. The following verbs are not normally used in the present continuous: like, want, need, prefer know, realise, suppose, mean, understand, believe, remember belong, fit, contain, consist, seem Examples: I'm hungry. I want something to eat. (not I'm wanting) Do you understand what I mean? (not Do you understanding) Anna doesn't seem very happy at the moment. B) Think When think means 'believe' or 'have an opinion', we do not use the continuous: - I think Mary is Canadian, but I'm not sure. (not I'm thinking) - What do you think of my plan? (= What is your opinion?) When think means 'consider', the continuous is possible: - I'm thinking about what happened. I often think about it. - Nicky is thinking of giving up her job. (=she is considering it) C) See, hear, smell, taste We normally use the present simple (not continuous) with these verbs: - Do you see that man over there? (not Are you seeing) - This room smells. Let's open a window. We often use can + see/hear/smell/taste: - I can hear a strange noise. Can you hear it? D) Look, feel You can use the present simple or continuous to say somebody looks or feels now: - You look well today. or You're looking well today. - How do you feel now? or How are you feeling now? but - I usually feel tired in the morning. (not I'm usually feeling) E) He is selfish and He is being selfish. He's being = He's behaving / He's acting. Compare: - I can't understand why he's being so selfish. He isn't usually like that. (being selfish = behaving selfishly at the moment) -He never thinks about other people. He is very selfish. (not He is being). (= He is selfish generally, not only at the moment) We use am/is/are being to say how somebody is behaving. It is not usually possible in other sentences: - It's hot today. (not It is being hot) - Sarah is very tired (not is being tired)
