100 questions for my Valentine:
I've been preparing some tasks for praticing writing business letters but instead of tasks I'd like you to try next
Business Letters Generator
Business Letters Samples
I'm sure it will help you whenever you need to write any business letters.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
If I'm not mistaken I gave the new task only to the first year. Here it is. Verb Tense Tutorial
First year is going on with Passive Voice. And with Internal Combustion Engine. And with Computer Art. You can find all this stuff in previous posts.
Second year has started Gerund. PN has to read a text about Ethernet. Here is everything for this.
Third year has started dealing with business English and the first topic is business letters. You are also revising conditional clauses.
( Here it is )
Books. I've finished reading one of my favourite books "In Desert and Wilderness”
by Henryk Sienkiewicz and I was full of emotions again although I've read it for more than ten times. I wonder if anyone of my students has ever read it. Football. Or is it better soccer? ((( I feel disgrace! No more comments. And I don't want to think about Wendsday match.
Video. I only managed to watch Shrek the Third on Saturday. I didn't like it so much as I liked Shrek 2 but still there were some really funny moments. Especially I liked that one with Snow White singing her beautiful song that gently transformed into Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song - I was surprised to here it there.
Weather. I like the landscape outside but unfortunately I can't really admire it as I've cought a cold.
And right now I'm dealing with a very serious problem of parallel universes and I'm trying to define if I believe in them or not.
Do parallel universes really exist?
What's the worst thing that anyone has ever said to you? - I love you
What's the best thing that has ever happened to you? - Entering KPI
What's the most luxurious thing you'd like to own? - A red grand-piano. An island
What's the ugliest thing you have? - Not fresh milk in a fridge
What's the silliest thing you've ever done? - A guy from PN-72 shot his own palm with a pneumatic gun
:)))

1. So, the first place belongs to Zhenya from PN-62 (Two trips to Mosсow, two visits of orphan houses, one week at the seaside, a work in a recording studio, a visit to a VIP gym and so on)
2. Alena from PO-51 (A visit to St. Petersburg, one week at the seaside and canoeing trip)
3. Michael from PM-51 (a trip around Europe)
( and another )
4. Max from PM-51 spent his summer diving at the Cape of Meganom.
5. I was happy to hear from 2 of my students about their expierence of sailing. Elena from PM-51 tried windserfing and Olya from PN-62 - sailing on a yacht. The girls expierenced real extreme and I'm sure have become real fans of sailing.
6. Crimean caves visited by Anton and Aipetry under the rain - by Alexsey from PG-61
( and some more )
There were also beautiful sunrises and sunsets, cool birthday parties, discos, campings, girl- and boyfriends, tatooes and even scars - and that I'm sure you will never forget. And I hope those students who spent that summer working and earning money have got good experience for future and enough money to make some of their dreams become true.
I was extremely happy yesterday: almost all the groups I had last year are in my schedule again! I will be also very glad to meet first year students: I've got 3 groups! Unfortunately I'm saying goodbye to ПМ 51-52, ПН 41-42 and ПН-42 but I still hope to meet with you and will always be glad to help you. Good luck!
See you on Tuesday :)))
P.S. I've got my ICQ program reinstalled on my PC and I don't remember login, I'm terribly upset, but I can't get there :(((
Alex and Yaroslav, it's a real mysticism or great luck: it seems you are real friends and are always together and even those 2 English "sharas" were received by both of you - my congratulations
Oh, I was surprised to see that you remember how to do it
My opinion can be unfair but I really think that scenery with English head teacher A.M. Simonova was the funniest one.
I also heard 2 of my students singing: Polina and Dasha, you are real talents!!!
Or even worse
That's why this wonderful day I want to wish real happiness, true love and eternal spring to all the girls of PBF especially those I see every week (I think the boys of PBF will join to these greetings)
Unfortunately I didn't manage to take pictures of the girls from PM-51-52 and PN-62 because almost all of them had gone home but my best wishes for you as well!
P.S. Special thanks to Sasha from PB-51 who made this wonderful picture!!!
And here is my present for you
1. Zhenya and Rostislav from PN-62
2. Dennis and Dmitriy from PG-62
Next week celebrators:

Instead of this post there must have been the story about St. Valentine's celebration but there were no
celebrations as everything was spoiled by my 'flu. I forgot that I should wrap up well in winter and I should keep my feet dry and warm. I've had to stay at home for the last week and I'll probably be back to my job next week. I hope we'll have more opportunities to celebrate some other holidays with you. Let's start working, shall we? Working? Oh, no, I've really forgot what it is...I really miss summer with its sun and warmth and sea and...

What is good about it: groups are comfortably placed according to the course, my time-outs are on the 3d lessons, not on the 2nd - 3d lesson is just the right time to drink a cup of coffee
What is bad about it: unfortunately I have to say goodbye to ПМ-62; some lessons are in the 21st building - I hate it, there are no lessons in 324 - my favourite classroom
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays – not simply because of some nice traditions and presents. I love this holiday because it’s really a Holy Day – and I really miss such days in my life – days full of light and mysteries, full of hope and faith, full of confidence that our life is a miracle.
