Molly Malone The books you recommended are very interesting indeed, but they're mostly for intermediate and advanced learners. They are uneasy to read and understand. Besides they are long. That's why I advised Самира to begin with short stories. I'll answer your question tomorrow. Bye!

Natali 55 Нет, Наталья! Около арки - это совсем не то! А трактир он так и называется "Трактир на Полевой" (кажется). Это там, где начинается Полевая улица, куда от 50 лет ВЛКСМ все машины заворачивают, чтобы попасть на западную сторону. Идите по Чехова до конца, упретесь в ворота "Зеленого городка" и налево в сторону Надсоновской (спросите!) Это метров 200. Удачи!

victorian I admit you're the best poet in our club. I can do a lot in English but writing poetry is always a problem for me. I liked your poem, especially the last lines. Do boast, victorian! We don't mind. And write something else! See you!

Самира I'm afraid I can't agree with you. It's hot and stuffy. I can't stand heat! But fortunately we had a wonderful shower half an hour ago, it's very good for plants and trees and I hope it'll be a bit cooler in the evening. Have you got any English books at home? I'd advise you to begin with short stories by O'Henry. They are easy and enjoyable to read. Molly, victorian, Serdar, what's your opinion? See you!

Euphemisms: She is engaged in men's entertainment business. I'm sure there're a lot of people who can speak English in our town, but very few of them are registered in pushkino.org. That's a pity. I wish we had more members.

natali 55 Это я Вам звонила по первому сообщению, помните, район банкомата на Чехова? Час назад видела ту же собаку у "Трактира на Полевой". На шее что-то оранжевое. Это точно Фрося, там и стадион рядом. Вместе с большим белым псом они что-то ели. Подойти не смогла, они очень шустро убежали за гаражи. Еще раз уточняю: это район между Чехова и Надсоновской, по обе стороны от 50 лет ВЛКСМ, начиная от ворот "Зеленого городка." Наталья! Она точно там! Выглядит бодро. Удачи!

Спасибо! Значит и гравий красивый, раз округлый.

Is Molly blond? I didn't know that. Blonds are supposed to be stupid... One more story about blonds: A blond phones her boyfriend and says," Please, come over here and help me... I have an interesting jig-saw-puzzle, but I can't understand how to get it started." Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it is finished?" The blond replies, "According to the picture on the box it's a cock." Her boyfriend decides to come to her place and help with the puzzle. The blond lets him in and shows him the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment and looks at the box. Then he takes her by the hand and says,"I'd advise you to relax. Let's have a cup of coffee and then..." he sighs, "let's put all these Corn Flakes back in the box." jig-saw-puzzle - составная картинка-загадка

victorian You're at your best today! One more joke from me: STRANGER: I'm looking for a man with a wooden leg called Johnson. LOCAL: What is his other leg called?

victorian Ha-ha-ha! A joke from me: - Doctor, Doctor, I've had a terrible stomachache since I ate three crabs yesterday. - Did they smell bad when you took them out of their shells? - What do you mean "took them out of their shells"?

Может быть кто-нибудь подскажет: 1. щебень и гравий - это маленькие камешки неправильной формы, как я понимаю? 2. булыжник - какого размера? 3. хотелось-бы маленькие круглые камешки для декора - это галька речная? или еще какая-нибудь бывает? кто-нибудь покупал? Molly Malone Очень страшный жук! Да еще с рогами! Такой ночью в дом залетит...

Let's sum up. There're 8 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) 8. Euphemisms: 1. He earns his living selling cucumbers from his garden. 2. I want to spend the night with you and make love. 3. He delivers pizza. 4. She makes dog clothes. 5. He collects empty beer bottles to earn his living. 6. She is (pardon) a prostitute. Good luck, see you! He is a Greenpeace activist.

Yes, Molly, she bathed once a month. As you know, English people have never had "banyas" unlike the Russians. (It's awful!) A joke from me: - Doctor, Doctor, these pills you gave me for body odour... - What's wrong with them? - They keep slipping from under my arms!

Euphemisms: She is a pet fashion designer. A quotation: "If you want to be on top, don't let education stop."

Let's sum up. There're 8 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. Guess the last word: " Queen Elizabeth I was considered very fussy about her personal cleanliness as she bathed once a ............................ " 4. Quotations. 5. Proverbs. 6. Songs. 7. The story "Natasha from Russia." 8. Euphemisms: old and new: post 05.07, 16.52 Good luck! See you! PS Molly, your answer is quite right!

Euphemisms: I want to spend the night with you and make love. = Do you like coffee Jardin?

Why don't we compose some euphemisms to these phrases? I want to add two more plus Molly's, so we have six: 1. He earns his living selling cucumbers from his garden. 2. I want to spend the night with you and make love. 3. He delivers pizza. 4. She makes dog clothes. 5. He collects empty beer bottles to earn his living. 6. She is (pardon) a prostitute. Good luck and have fun!

A special reminder for Самира (she has missed the task) and everybody: Molly's task: Why don't we compose some euphemisms to these phrases? 1. He earns his living selling cucumbers from his garden. 2. I want to spend the night with you and make love. See you!

Never mind, Molly! I corrected the preposition as soon as I saw it and nobody noticed.

One more anecdote abote the Chinese: A smiling Chinese man entered a shop with a colourful big parrot on his shoulder and the shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise, "Where did you get it?" "In China, there're millions of them there," answered the parrot." Molly, I demand more euphemisms! (I can't think of any myself) So long, see you!

"Hello, darling!" she said, "Where have you been? What have you been doing? Where have you been hiding? I've phoned you many times this week but nobody answered!" "I've been on a business trip," Jack replied. "I've just come back and feel exhausted."

Molly Malone I liked your joke about the parrots. And what did the priest say? To my mind that's a great idea! It's not necessary to inform everybody what year we were born in if we don't want to, but we can write the date. Then we'll be able to congratulate a person and give something to him or her as a birthday present. We can write a poem, send a postcard or organize a concert like victorian's. I was born on the 20th of October. Oh, Molly! I guess Father Frost brought you in his sack. It must have been the best present for your father! Самира, Serdar, victorian, when were you born? What do you think of Molly's idea? (See some tasks: page 54, 03.07, 12.32) See you!

Molly Malone Very understandable Chinese English.

victorian Now it's OK! You look nice, Molly! You're dancing barefoot and wearing a mini-skirt. You're very graceful and flexible. Thanks!

Serdar Sorry, Serdar, I didn't recognize you. Then victorian was wearing a yellow shirt. No, unfortunately your answer is wrong. victorian I mean I couldn't see her dance either. I couldn't open the link.
