One other way to say it is: “I’ll get you up to speed.” It is less common, but people still say it.

Theater 🎭

Some people think that today the cinema industry replaces theater and modern people prefer to visit a cinema. But I can’t agree with that opinion. I love to visit theaters and I visit them very often. I notice that during every play the hall is full, regardless of whether it is a workday or a weekend. Plays at the theater have something magical and intriguing. You can see the emotion of the actors and you experience emotions with them. Good acting is exciting! A visit to the theater is not only a good form of relaxation, but it contributes to the cultural enrichment of the individual. Friends, let's go to good performances more often😊#moreфон2018

I’m not sure what you mean by “The play of the actors.” Do you mean how well the actors are at acting? I would say “they are very good actors.” Or “Good acting is exciting!”  молодец!

Internet

The Internet makes our lives easier. We can find any information in a few minutes, have lessons with someone from the other side of world and other good things. But there is another part of the internet: we spend a lot of time here without purpose using different social networks. We seldom read good books. I have heard of an interview with a good scientist who said that our mental abilities have become lower because it is easier for us to find information on the internet than to think. And he gave an example that Bill Gates allows his children to use the internet for only two hours a day. #moreфон2018

Good job, you used some hard words correctly! It is hard to recognize when to use “in” and when to use “on.” When Americans are talking about the internet we usually say “on the internet.” For example, “I’m on the internet learning English.” Good job!

The Russian salad

Every New Year in our country people cook a dish called a Olivier salad. We traditionally drink champagne and eat Russian salad on New Year's Eve.

The original version of salad was invented in the 1860s by a cook named Lucien Olivier who was the chief of a famous restaurant in Moscow. Later, the original ingredients were replaced with cheaper foods. Today the salad contains peas, eggs, carrots, cucumber, boiled chicken and potatoes, and mayonnaise.

Cooking
- boil eggs for 7-8 minutes
- boil chicken
- boil peeled carrots and potatoes for 30 minutes, then vegetables are taken out of the water
- chop carrots and potatoes into blocks
- chop chicken into blocks
- chop cucumber into blocks
- chop the boiled eggs
- add peas to the salad
- add mayonnaise and salt to the salad
- mix all the ingredients

Bon appetit!
