Very good, Самира! My answers were worse.

[Самира 26]

Even his father didn't know that Jack and Jane were married. He thought Jane was just his son's girlfriend. Jack and Jane's children were charming twins: a boy and a girl. They were two years old.

 

No one knew they were married because the wedding took place in Las Vegas when they came there for the weekend. At first they both gambled heavily, then drank, and then got married.

 

"I wish i were a captain on a ship," he thought. "Then I could have a wife in every port"

 

(I'll add from myself: Men...)

 

 

Jack so has strongly plunged into memories that has not heard at once as Natasha calls him.

he has answered without having become puzzled - We will go to Colorado, as soon as I earn money to pay for our trip.

Let's sum up, ladies and gentlemen.

 

For the present we have 5 tasks for fun and profit:

 

1. A new riddle: "In what tree does a crow sit when it's raining?"

 

2. An old one: "What makes a road broad?"

 

3. Misprint 20. (Such tasks are very useful because they make us read every word carefully.)

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.

 

HOLIDAY ADVICE

1. Always pack a small first-aid kit.

2. If you're bitten by an animal, go to a doctor or hospital.

3. Make sure the drinking water is safe. If you are not sure, boil it or use sterilization tables.

 

4. A practical task:"No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven times."

(Take any piece of paper, big or small, for example, a newspaper or A4 format and try to fold it. Can you?)

 

5. The story: "Natasha From Russia".

 

Let's wait a little for Molly and victorian and after that I'll give you the answers and explanations to "Men and Women" test.

 

Good luck and have fun!

[Самира 26]

2. An old one: "What makes a road broad?"

 

maybe the letter B

road - broad?

 

Molly and victorian :!!!: Where are you??????????????

[Lady LG 4 159]

Самира

maybe the letter B road - broad?

No doubt!

 

I'm afraid it's my or Serdar's turn to write the story, but I have no inspiration...

 

Have you tried to fold a piece of paper?

 

Bye!

In the meantime Jack had to solve all problems concerning English school. Condition of the project there is at the level of idea and intention.

PART VII Even his father didn't know that Jack and Jane were married. He thought Jane was just his son's girlfriend. Jack and Jane's children were charming twins: a boy and a girl. They were two years old.

Jack was so strongly plunged into memories that didn't hear at once as Natasha called him. he has answered without having become puzzled - We will go to Colorado, as soon as I earn money to pay for our trip.

In the meantime Jack had to solve all problems concerning English school. The condition of the project was at the level of idea and intention.

"Well, let's go to the editorial office and put an advertisement in Pushkinski Vestnik", Natasha offered. "But first you should make it up. Here's a pen and some paper. Get to work, darling and I'll go to the kitchen and cook some pelmeni. You enjoy eating delicious pelmeni with sour cream, don't you, my chick?"

 

Half an hour later Natasha returned to the living-room. Jack was lying on the sofa with a bottle of beer in his hand and watching "You Just Wait", the famous old Russian cartoon about a bad wolf and a clever hare. The girl took a sheet of paper from the table and began reading... Oh, dear! Natasha wasn't very good at English but even she got horrified. Jack's handwriting was unreadable and the text was full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes. He couldn't even write the word "school" properly, he wrote "skul".

"Did you go to school, Jack?" she asked. "And what was your mark in English, I wonder?"

Jack's face turned as red as beetroot. "To tell the truth, honey..." he began,

 

See you!

I think that word 'advice' is missed for letter 's'. My answer is 'advices'.

[Lady LG 4 159]

No, Serdar, I'm afraid you're mistaken. The word "advice" is uncountable (it's an exception)

 

advice - совет, советы

 

His advice is reasonable but I can't follow it.

Его советы разумные, но я не могу им последовать.

 

an advice, advices

 

See you!

"To tell the truth, honey, I was not the first student in my school, but it doesn`t matter! For example when I read this russian forum I see a lot of terrible mistakes and all users are native speakers, aren`t they?. So don`t worry my darling!". "Oh you are so cute", Natasha babbled.

"Well it`s business and I`m going to make it in american way. I know how it is".

Soon astonishing things started to happen in Pushkino. Huge billboards were everywhere - " Come to Jack`s school and you will be cool!". All local newspapers were full with this ad. Hundreds boys and girls in bright t-shirts stood in all streets and handed out the special flyers. The huge balloon hung above town and big letters shone in the sky - "Did you join Jack`s school?". Every evening great and noisy conсerts were arranged near Pobeda cinema where Alla Pugacheva, Phil Kirkorov, Nadya Babkina and others singers sang songs about Jack`s school.

- And now let’s think about the premises where the school is to be situated. Do you have any ideas, Natasha?

- I think I do know. Our school is going to be a competitor of tents with beer.

- How is that?

- Wait and see.

And two weeks later the big empty shop from the right of Pobeda (the one that used to be “Hoztovary” and that has been closed for many years already) turned into a school.

(However, from Molly’s point of view, it has to be a Macdonalds…Sorry, I am hungry, dying for a Big Mac)

- So, who is going to be a headmaster?

- Well…I have a crazy idea. I know one person in Pushkino. Let it be……
