Даже если ты и забывала какие-то отдельные слова, мне кажется, важнее то, что ты правильно понимала вопросы и отвечала на них даже если это было непросто. Молодец!)

    Всем привет!))))))) Пожалуйста, можно ли кто-нибудь обьяснить значение слова "погнали"? Часто слышится в сериалах, но я не понимаю! Гугл переводит как 'drove' на английском - сдаётся мне, что это не правильный смысл. Спасибо большое! Извините за мой русский!!!

    Heatstroke

    It is dangerous for humans to spend so long time in hot environments because they may faint from losing a lot of water from their bodies. This is called heatstroke. Humans are thought to contain about 70% water. If the water in your body is lowered to less 60% you could be in risk of dying. To avoid such a situation, you need to drink water frequently when you move or exercise in hot environments for more than 30 minutes. However, just drinking water isn’t sufficient to prevent heatstroke. When you sweat you lose not only the water but also salt. So, I’d like to recommend drinking sport drinks to supply both to your body effectively.


    Great work!!! :) :)

    My diary - 22

    I have vacation coming up in August, and I still haven't planned exactly what I will do.
    On the one hand, all my friends travel and I would also like to go somewhere.
    But on the other hand, I need to save money for a big purchase and I don't need any extra expenses.
    Initially, my Ukrainian friend and I planned to go to Odessa (Ukraine), but he left for France to work. So I don't have a good partner for this trip.
    So, I think most likely I will go to my parent's in the village. There I will eat fresh berries and learn things on the internet.

    Well done! Your writing is great!! I hope your vacation goes well :)

    "Sick love"

    We watched a video called "Sick love" in our English lesson. It was funny!

    In the video a man tried to find a girlfriend. His ex- girl had broken up with him, so the man was sad. When he was going to the station he saw one young girl. She liked him! But a tram arrived and girl got on. The man decided to follow her. He knew where the next stop was and he knew how long does it would take to catch her. He ran a lot, he stole a bike... But in the end he was hit by a car.
    When he was going home he saw her again! She was sitting in the cafe. The man felt happy and walked into the cafe because he wanted to talk to her. Suddenly, the girl's friend appeared before him and hit him!
    We might think that after this the man would lose hope in finding a girl, but instead he saw another girl in the park and decided again to follow a girl...
    _________

    In the video we recognised a contemporary problem: people are afraid of loneliness, people don't want to be alone. Maybe this is why social networking is so popular.


    Really great work!!!! Your writing is great :). What a deep subject for a lesson aha. Well done!!! :).

    Cursed Summer

    Lately, it has been warm everyday. I don't like the heat/warm weather. So I won't go out in summer.
    Moreover, summer's twilight makes me unstable. I can't do anything. I am in trouble.


    Sounds poetic :). Well done!!

    Where to Begin Learning Mandarin

    Hey everyone :) 

       I was wondering if anyone had any tips on starting with Mandarin? I'm curious about Mandarin and wanted to look into it just for fun at my own slow pace. So far it's been much more difficult than other languages I'm studying mainly due to the character system. I don't know even where to begin with pronunciation! I don't really understand how the characters work. Can anyone explain?

       If anyone knows of a site with the International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions of words that would be amazing! I've used Wiktionary in the past for Russian, but I can't search for words because I don't know how to spell in Mandarin. Even when I can find words there it doesn't have the IPA. 

    Any tips, or even any music or movies you know of in Mandarin, I would love for you to share!! I literally know nothing. Help plz aha. 

    Thank you heaps in advance :) 

    All the best

    Children find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to their study in school.

    Many children find it difficult to concentrate on or pay attention to their school work. What are the reasons for this? How can we solve this problem?
    In this day and age, children easily find that the world is like a kaleidoscope (?), and they are easily distracted by various things. We should try our best to take tackle this issue.
    There are three main factors which distract children from their school work. The first of which being that since the development of the Internet, many children are now addicted to various kinds of activities, such as games, TV shows, and social media. They are able to access the Internet via mobile phones, which allows them to play online games or to browse through social media while they are in class very easily. Secondly, many students are unable to focus their attention on their lessons because they often are lacking adequate sleep. This is due to that fact that in most Asian countries, children have to burn midnight oil as there is so much homework that they must complete. Finally, many teachers may not be equipped with enough knowledge or training, which can cause students to lose interest.
        There are some steps which can be taken in order to solve this problem. It is necessary to install disciplinary procedures which limit children from utilizing their phones frequently, especially in the classroom. Also, students’ autonomy should be encouraged while also being balanced between study hours and leisure time. In addition, educators should give priority to developing children both psychologically and physically, instead of giving them a plethora of homework. Furthermore, it is imperative that we should provide some training courses for teachers to improve their teaching skills.
    In conclusion, many different factors can affect children's ability to stay concentrated.  We have the responsibility to deter children from becoming distracted.

    I'll have been married with my husband for ten years tomorrow!

    Time flies.
    I will have been married with my husband for ten years by tomorrow!
    We have experienced a lot together.
    When we got married, we were young and still acted like kids. Now we are parents! We are both learning and growing through raising a child. Family is my place (or you could say 'Family is where I belong').

    I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow! :) Congratulations on 10 years! Wow! :)
