Let's talk about your summer holidays!

Here are some examples for you ;)

I always enjoy summer. Do you? In summer, I like to relax and forget about school. I don't have to get up early and I can see my friends any time I want.

       My holidays are usually with my parents. We go to different places in Britain and sometimes abroad. In Britain, I like going to Devon, Somerset and Scotland – but my favourite place of all is Yorkshire. It  has lovely countryside and fantastic old buildings. The only problem is the weather!

       Last summer, I had two holidays. One was in Somerset, in a little village by the sea, and another was in Naples, in Italy. I went with my mother to Italy – by train! The journey took twenty-eight hours.

It's hot in the United States in summer. In Washington State, it doesn't rain much, but it still stays very green.

       During summer we love to swim, lie in the sun, go camping, and spend nights at our friends' houses. We usually go somewhere with our parents. Last year we went to California for the first part of summer and then to Disneyland. We also looked at international stars in Los Angeles. We met Nelly Furtado! After a rest, we went to Maine and Massachusetts with our mom, sister, and a friend. We stayed with our grandfather in Massachusetts, and then we went camping in Maine. We played on the beaches, and went sailing.

Back to the FUTURE

We have different ways of talking about the future. We often use going to (+ infinitive), the present continuous (to be + -ing) or will (+ infinitive). The structure we use depends on the function of what we want to say, whether we are talking about arrangements, plans, predictions, etc. 
  
present continuous (to be + -ing)------] запланована діяльність, домовленість

 going to (+ infinitive)-----------] плани та наміри, реальні передбачення


 will (+ infinitive)----------] незаплановане майбутнє, передбачення, обіцянки, пропозиції...

Your day in 2020...

This week my students talked a lot about the future. They were 
thinking about their lives and the world in general. There were plenty of interesting ideas: such as space travelling, flying cars,  living on Mars and so on...

Continuing the theme of the future want to offer the awesome video from YouTube about the development of technology in a few years.
I hope you'll enjoy it!!!

Will we have this technology? How do you think?

Do you want to have it ?

First Conditional

Here you can find some more useful information about First Conditional.

Перший тип умовних речень. На противагу чаcовим формам дієcлова, що позначають реальні дії, дієcлова умовних речень позначають дії нереальні, нездійcненні або ті, що можуть відбутиcя тільки за певних умов.

Вживання

В умовних реченнях першого типу виcловлюєтьcя думка про дію, яка наcправді може здійcнитиcя в теперішньому чи майбутньому чаcі:

 If I hear any news about him, I’ll phone you. (Якщо почую якіcь новини про нього, подзвоню вам.) 

If you lose the money, I’ll help you. (Якщо ви загубите гроші, я вам допоможу.)

Long time no see......

St.Valentine's Day

It's a pity that the celebration we've been waiting for ended so quickly...

A bit of history:

Valentine's Day, or St Valentine's Day, is celebrated every year on 14 February.  It's the day when people show their affection for another person (or people!) by sending anonymous cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love.  And traditionally on Valentine's Day in a leap year - every four years - women can propose marriage to their lovers!

The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are several stories of who he was. The most popular belief about St Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD.  Emperor Claudius II had banned marriage because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine thought this was unfair, so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in secret.  When Claudius found out, Valentine was sentenced to death and thrown in jail. There, he fell in love with the jailor's blind daughter. His love and belief in God cured her blindness, and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he sent her a love letter signed "From your Valentine".
