[Ресницы до небес]

let's discuss smth
do you feel depressed because of such a cold autumn?
I'm really looking forward to winter, holidays, bunches of presents, etc..

[Leto]

I don't like winter, because it's too long and too cold.
Such a cold autumn is not well too, but anyway it is warmer.

[Ресницы до небес]

I adore winter not only do I enjoy all the fresh-air stuff (I mean, going down the ice-hills, skiing, ice-skating and others), but it's also a chain of birthdays in my family! let alone the New Year and X-mas holidays I'm already anticipating

[Ресницы до небес]

and with the weather like today - I feel energy-deprived

[WhatsApp]

I prefer summer....even here in Siberia with all its insects......

[Ресницы до небес]

waiting for someone who likes spring

[WhatsApp]

Every Sunday I and my friends go to sauna, I adore hamam, this helps me to survive the cold......

[Ресницы до небес]

_юля_,
The first part of the phrase reminds tge one from the movie "destiny irony"

[Ресницы до небес]

But I really appreciate that the heat is over, since it was a torture for me
And I seem to be one of those naive people who believe that the forethcoming year is going to be better than this one I don't overestimate this holiday, but it's really one of my favourite

[Leto]

naive - это что?)
I like spring, but not in Tomsk (except in may), because it´s too dirty, and there is a lot of snow And summer is the best season)
It´s too hard move around the city in winter with children, if you don´t have a car. And stay at home most of time is deprived.
как тяжело выцарапывать остатки английского из памяти
ошибки можно и нужно исправлять)

[Ресницы до небес]

Leto,
Naive (тут не хватает диактитического "и трема" из французского) means a gullible person (now it's definitely easier, right?/ ) who trusts everyone, believes everything, especially when it comes to positive things

[Ресницы до небес]

Moving around the city with children, I mean, not by car, is quite a challenge in any season

By the way, what do you think about teaching english to really small kids? Now it's extremely fashoinable to start speaking two languages to toddlers and to assert that thus, a kid will know the language so early. But do they really need it?
I was asked many times, about my daughter - she is supposed to speak pre-intermediate english but I'm only getting her acquainted with the idea of foreign countries and so on
What are your opinions?/

[WhatsApp]

Ресницы до небес,
I start teaching English to my son, he is seven, but my daughter who is 4 repeats words by herself....I think it's enough, because we only start learnig Russian alphabet))))

[Leto]

Ресницы до небес, можно напишу по-испански, быстрее будет I think, it will give any results if the kids study english from birth))
I mean the mother speak english all the time.
Μy teacher of spain speak with her daughter spanish from birth. Now she is 7 years old y speaks both languages perfectly. And for the children of 3-6 years old learn english sometimes .... it is fun, it's fashion. May give certain results but seldom, only if their mother use english в течение of the day
Не помню как сказать)))
В общем, я думаю, что просто занятий ИНОГДА недостаточно, нужно большее погружение

[Ресницы до небес]

Leto,
Spanglish
I'll correct the mistakes later

I get you, and agree it's pointless to have like an hour or so of English speech a week and expect a baby to speak perfectly at the age of two. my daughter sings songs (at least, she repeats the way she hears it) like "mommy finger", she understands what "a finger" is, but it's only for fun. last year I explained to her that Santa Clause is Ded Moroz in Peppa Pig's country and she already got the idea that there are other countries and that ppl speak other languages there. I think, at the age of 5 I'll deliberately start teaching her, not until then. one of the reasons is that I don't want to overlaod her

Ресницы до небес,
children have different abilities...even in one family children very differ from each other....it's necessary to notice one's willingness in order not to draw a protest ....My son is not a precocious child, very average one.....that's why we put emphasis on Russian

[Ресницы до небес]

so, a new week and a new topic to discuss
1. Do you like taking photos? What do you usually take photos of?
2. Tell about your favourite photo.
(Who took it? What was happening there at that time?)
3. Do you have a favorite photo of yourself?
4. Where do you keep your photos: on your laptop or in an album? Why?
5. Why do people take photos?

[WhatsApp]

Ресницы до небес
I never ponder such a question.......My children don't like this process, that's why we are constanly in a hurry to have time to take photos....As other children they prefer examining their presents and they are very busy at that moment

[Ресницы до небес]

_юля_,
I'm just trying to give a topic for a discourse

[WhatsApp]

Ресницы до небес,
What about pets?Do you think it's reasonable to have a pet?Is it a benifit for children?

[Ресницы до небес]

_юля_,
I've had a pet for 7,5 years and he's like our zero-child I can't think my life without a pet (we have a cat), especially when I was alone (my husbband was on a 1-month shift), it would be so lonely without him..
for a child... well, a pet is supposed to be incredibly useful for his/her development, ingrain the bases of responsibility, blah-blah, but my daughter and cat do not really interact, since he sleeps during the daytime and prefers not to be touched by anyone from time to time she makes some "injections" to him when playing the doctor game or tries to oerforn a new fur-style to him but the cat is okay with that

[WhatsApp]

We also have pets....At first I worried a lot....My children were small while our new friends were just tiny.....After a year I am calm about them.....but I can't understand how I could have made such a thoughtless step.....There are so many problems with them and I am often so tired and don't have time to solve these problems.....Formely I told that I would never take a pet to my home and now I think it was a kind of witchcraft Moreover I have an obsession about cleanliness and these little stinkers unbalance my nervous system

[Ресницы до небес]

choose an interesting one or cover all of them

1. People spending a long time in front of computers have less social skills.

4. Designer clothes are a waste of money.
5. Cyclists should pass a test before riding a bike.

3. Brothers and sisters don't usually get on well.

As for me I don't have siblings.....but my children quarrel all the time.
