Самира Is it "Three people's hearts?" It's difficult. Would you give us some more information? Molly Malone Is this maniac a vampire? Serdar Yes, you're right! It's "Mimino". See you!

The answer is: "Can you hear me?" Guess the film A pilot lives in a small village among the mountains. He wants to fly big planes. He comes to the capital and meets another man there. This man is a driver. He looks funny (from our point of view) They become friends. The pilot falls in love with a girl and invites her to the theatre but she doesn't come. Bad luck follows the friends. They spend all their money in the restaurant. The pilot is put to prison. In the end the pilot's dream comes true but it doesn't bring him happiness and he returns home.

Да она у Вас просто красавица! А лапы какие! (выразительные) А кто сказал, что это жаба? Это лягуха, а они в пруду очень прикольно плавают. Берегите, а то у нас таджики ставили забор, кто-то из них наступил на лягушку и все лягухи после этого куда-то пропали, долго не было. Мы так переживали...

Serdar I think I know the answer! "Electronic's Adventures"? Serdar! We know everybody's birthdays except yours. When were you born? Please, write the date, not the year if you don't want to.

Molly Malone Oh, Molly! Do you think you can beat me? It's from "Devoted Friend" by your favourite Oscar Wilde. I've read this tale many times: adapted, abridged and in the original. "Real friends should have everything in common," the Miller used to say, and little Hans nodded and smiled, and felt very proud of having a friend with such noble ideas." ("У настоящих друзей все должно быть общее," бывало говорил Мельник, а Ганс кивал головой, улыбался и очень гордился тем, что у него есть друг с такими благородными идеями.) Poor Hans! (He drowns at the end of the story) Every time I read this tale I can't help feeling sorry for him though I realize he's just a perfect fool. Самира I'd recommend you to read this book in Russian and then in English: an adapted version, because the original is uneasy to read. See you!

Molly Malone Your internet is very idle and it wants you to be idle too. Stay in bed with your laptop... My favourite scene. "Бодры - надо говорить бодрее, а веселы - веселее". This is one of the best comedies I've ever seen. The name of the film is "Welcome or No Admittance" (Добро пожаловать или посторонним вход воспрещен.) But I can't remember the boy's surname. Can you, Molly? Do I deserve one more chocolate? I prefer Babaevski or Rot-Front.

Самира According to the rules I can ask three questions. My first question is: "Which figure?"

Самира In my opinion you needn't translate the whole text into Russian if it doesn't contain difficult words. Our guests understand everything. It's EASY reading. Serdar I agree with Самира. You've given us very little information.

Самира Yes, you get a very big delicious virtual chocolate! When I was a little girl, Fantomas was the most popular character. This name was written on every fence. I think this is the first word I learned to write in English.

Guess the film OK, I'll try too. It's an old Russian cartoon. A little boy likes animals but his mother doesn't and his father is too timid. The boy runs away from home with his pets. They live in a village and often get letters. One day the friends' cow has a calf. The boy grows up and becomes a farmer. He sells dairy products. The name of the village the friends live in becomes a famous trade mark. Lady LG often buys sour cream with this brand in the nearest shop. Easy reading for our guests One day a man was walking in the park and met an elephant. He didn't know what to do with him and took him to a policeman. "Take him to the Zoo," the policeman said. The man did as the policeman had told him. Next day the policeman saw the man again. The man still had the elephant. "Why didn't you take him to the Zoo?" asked the policeman. "I did," said the man, "and now we are going to the cinema." Good luck! See you!

I want to get a virtual chocolate! A very big one! (without nuts, please) I know!!! Is his name FANTOMAS?

Никита I Желания румянить корочки в жару у меня как-то не возникает, а из прессованных дрожжей надо дольше держать, за ночь не получается.

Самира, mamLusik: да туда что угодно можно добавить, не испортишь, мой вариант для самых ленивых или когда в холодильнике пусто.

А я делаю так: на 5-литровое пластмассовое ведро пол-бутылки концентрата, примерно 0,5 кг черных сухарей (зимой запасаем корочки), или черного хлеба, 1/3 пакетика сухих дрожжей, сахар по вкусу, можно горсть изюма, заливаю теплой водой и оставляю на ночь. Утром процеживаю, по бутылкам и в холодильник. Квас потрясающий - крепкий, коричневый. Кстати, отжимки можно сразу же залить оставшейся половиной бутылки и вечером разлить. Попробуйте, всем нравится!

Molly Malone One of my favourite books is Animal Farm by George Orwell (1903-1950), a famous English author and journalist. It's a fairy-tale for grown-ups. In the book a group of animals decide to organize a society in which they are all free and equal. But the pigs become the leaders and say that they are in fact cleverer and better than the others. My favourite quotation from the book is: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others (Все животные равны, но одни более равны, чем другие) This phrase is often used to say that it's impossible to organize a society where everyone is equal, because some people will always become learders sooner or later. I suggest that everybody should read this book (in English or in Russian). You won't be disappointed. Bye!

Читаю постоянно, а хвастаюсь первый раз, ну очень просто и вкусно! Рубленые куриные котлетки 1 кг сырой куриной грудки режем кубиками примерно по сантиметру, солим, добавляем 3 столовые ложки муки и 3 столовые ложки майонеза. Эту жидкую массу берем ложкой и жарим на сковородке как оладьи, до хрустящей корочки. Котлет получается очень много. Потребляем с чем угодно, горячими и холодными, можно заморозить, но до этого не доходит, потому что съедают.

Never mind, Serdar! You're both right! "Кристи побеждает Левиса в 100-метровом финале" A joke from me: Customer: Is it tea or coffee? It tastes like kerosene! Waiter: If it tastes like kerosene, it is certainly tea. Our coffee tastes like petrol! So long, see you!

Let's sum up. There're 7 tasks for fun and profit: 1. A riddle: "What question cannot be answered with "No?" 2. Misprint 23. The text below contains a mistake where ONE letter in a word IS MISSED. For example, if the word should be BOX it is printed as OX. "Olympic Shock: Christie Eats Lewis In 100 Metre Final!" 3. Quotations. 4. Proverbs. 5. Songs. 6. The story "Natasha from Russia" (I was the last to write) 7. Euphemisms. A joke from me: - Bill's wife always laughs at his jokes. - They must be very clever. - No, she is. Easy English for our guests(Легкий английский для наших гостей): - I don't understand why we study English. - It's because half of the world speaks English. - Well, isn't that enough? Good luck, see you!

He is an independent greengrocery trader. Molly Malone Make your suggestions! See you!

victorian Good bye, victorian! Have a pleasant journey! We'll miss you! Don't lose your way in taiga!

Ladies and gentlemen! I have an idea. We see that a lot of people read our posts every day. It means they're interested in English but don't join us for some reason. We can't ignore them, it isn't polite. Let's write something interesting for our guests from time to time. We could call this section "Easy English For Our Guests" for example. But remember: the text should be written in easy understandable elementary English without difficult words or grammar constructions. Some words should be written out and translated into Russian. Let our guests read, understand and enjoy English. It will help them to overcome their uncertainty and our work will be more interesting. What do you think of my suggestion, Самира, Molly, victorian, Serdar?

Самира First you can read adapted stories. By the way, you can buy books in English in "Detskii Mir". Look through "English Club" series. They publish books for children and grown-ups; for elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced learners.

Thanks a lot, Molly, but you make me blush...

You meant "in Russian"... It's quite another matter. But Самира asked about English books. Now I'm sure you aren't a blond! Do you also mean "in Russian" ? One more anecdote about blonds. It's a story with "a beard". I'm afraid everybody knows it but it doesn't matter much. It may be interesting for guests, people who read our posts. " A blond goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner. The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blonds. So she goes home and dyes her hair black. The next day she returns to the store and asks for the same thing, and again the clerk says he doesn't serve blonds. In great surprise the blond goes home and dyes her hair again to a shade of red. Sure that this time she will get what she wants, she returns and asks a different clerk to sell her the TV in the corner. To her astonishment, this clerk also says he doesn't serve blonds. The blond says to the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blond?" The clerk looks at her disgustedly and replies, "That's not a TV - it's a microwave!" See you tomorrow!
