How to understand if the teacher is really qualified after a trial lesson? What advice would you give for those who are not very experienced or are the newbies in online studying?

Russian "dacha", individual plot of land If you live in a big city the problem of getting really fresh and nontoxic food occurs. In Russia we have "dachas", the individual plots of land outside the city where people can grow plants for their own use. It's a great help for maintaining ourselves if we don't have much money (this is very common thing here), not saying about pure products we get by ourselves. Also dachas are the place where elderly people like to live during the summer. The word "dacha" itself means "something given". Usually we construct a building there that more or less suits for the living. Some dachas are so far from city that they don't even have electricity and water supply. What to say about good roads. In winter no communal service takes care of snow and the roads there are impenetrable for the cars and the people. Other dachas are right near or in the city itself. And some people construct not the simple summer houses but good warm houses or even palaces to live instead of blockhouse apartments. And they can plant flowers there instead of usual potatoes or carrots. Do you have something like this in your country?

Ecological situation nowadays Everyone knows about our bad ecology situation nowadays. When I, working as primary school teacher, tell children about the global ecology situation, they are shocked. Yes, we, adults, pass them an inheritance of the contaminated world. In some countries the situation is more or less fine still. Others are contaminated badly. But the big cities are always the places where lack of pure products exists. Next post I will write about Russian way of dealing with it. Locally of course.

Generic scenarios - do they exist? People who love psychology topics discuss this one also. Generic scenario is a kind of situation that happens in every generation of the family. For example every woman in the family is being left by her husband and lives alone. And it's said the cause is that every new generation pretakes the scenario unconsciously. The girl being raised by her mother adopts her attitude to men and sooner or later the same result comes. Do you believe in such things? What kind of generic scenarios do you know? Do you discuss topics like this in your country?
