It will help them to overcome their uncertainty

 

Perhaps the guests are just too lazy to write

 

We could call this section "Easy English For Our Guests"

 

It should be something funny

Make your suggestions!

 

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!

Olympic Shock: Christie Eats Lewis In 100 Metre Final!"

 

Beats Lewis?

I would be surprised if he ate him, though he must be very delicious

"Olympic Shock: Christie Eats Lewis In 100 Metre Final!"

I suppose that Christie is not cannibal. If Christie is winner, then 'Christie Beats Lewis'.

[Serdar 2]

While I thought about answer...

answer was already done.

Never mind, Serdar! You're both right!

Olympic Shock: Christie Beats Lewis In 100 Metre Final!"

"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!

[Самира 26]

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!

what are your most, most, most favourite books?

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!

Three lawyers and three engineers are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three lawyers buy their tickets and watch in amazement as the three engineers buy just one ticket.

“How are three people going to travel with only one ticket?” asks one of the lawyers.

“It’s easy. Just watch,” one of the engineers answers.

So, all six of them board the train. The lawyers take their seats, but the three engineers cram into a toilet and close the door behind them.

Shortly afterwards, the ticket inspector comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says,”Tickets, please.”

The toilet door opens just a bit and a single arm appears with a ticket in its hand. The conductor takes the ticket and moves on.

The lawyers see this and agree that it’s a very clever idea.

After the conference, the lawyers decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. So, when they get to the station, they buy just one single ticket. But to their astonishment, the engineers don’t buy a ticket at all.

“Hey! How are you going to travel without a ticket?” asks one lawyer.

“Watch and you’ll see,” says one of the engineers.

So, all six of them get on the train, and the three lawyers cram into one toilet, and the three engineers cram into another toilet nearby.

The train departs. But shortly afterwards, one of the engineers leaves his toilet and walks over to the other toilet where the lawyers are hiding. And he knocks on the door and says: “Tickets, please.”
