Good afternoon Today is our tenth lesson. We continue free creative communication on all topics that interest us, that are pleasant to our ears and interesting for discussion.
As you noticed, when such a free exchange of opinions, free discussion begins (of course, not everything turns out exactly and correctly), I try not to correct it along the way. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of receiving pleasure, enjoying the fact that I communicate, I interact. Everything else is sanding...
You can only polish what you already have. Then you can make adjustments, add something, change something, enrich it. This is the first. But this does not save us from the need to constantly hammer out these basic schemes, so that we never have to be distracted by thinking about what is there: didn’t, will I, will you, and so on. So that this works absolutely automatically for us.
So, well, let's continue our stories. Nastya, what did you do yesterday or on Sunday? Was the something interesting in your life?
(Nastya, what did you do yesterday or on Sunday? Did anything interesting happen to you?)

The topic of numbers ends. New words are taken to denote months. In this lesson, students answer the questions - how old are you? When is your birthday? What will you do tonight?

Conclusion:
It is necessary to make do with a few words in colloquial speech, in Russian this is exactly what you do. And when you start speaking a foreign language, it seems to you that you need to create some text in Russian and then translate it into another language. But, most often, people use a small set of words that can be expressed or understood.
We are starting the tenth lesson from the first course using Dr. Pimsleur's method of American English for Russian speakers.

Lesson summary:
Petrov emphasizes that when a free exchange of opinions and discussion begins, naturally not everything turns out exactly and correctly, and Dmitry tries not to correct the students during the conversation. Because the most important thing is to reach the level of pleasure and enjoyment from communicating in English. Speech polishing happens after - you can polish what you already have. Then you can make adjustments, change, enrich English speech. But this does not eliminate the need to constantly “hammer” basic schemes, so that later we do not have to be distracted by thinking, so that the correct grammatical formulation of words occurs automatically.

Today's lesson will be devoted to casual communication on various topics related to our life experiences. When studying foreign language it is very important to remember that the best way to study a foreign language is to speak (The best way learn a foreign language - speaking). Expressing your own thoughts allows you to develop and improve your language skills.
Relaxed communication as a tool for mastering a foreign language
Grammar is undoubtedly a useful thing, but it only serves the basis of our oral speech , practical communication. The grammatical structures we study in such detail are, in fact, nothing more than foundation, on which we build brick by brick building, spoken word. Trying to master a new language, string the words you know like beads onto fishing line - grammar diagram, but do not be afraid to make a mistake, because fear paralyzes and enslaves. Remember, language is given to a person for communication, and silence in this case is by no means golden!
So, the main grammatical tense, which helps to talk about what happened to us at the nth time ago called Past Simple and is formed as follows:
| Positive Sentence (+) |
Negative Sentence (-) |
Interrogative Sentence (?) |
| V(2/ed)…. | didn't V... | DidV...? |
| 1.It gave gave | 1.It didn't give me a chance to see wonderful paintings. - This didn't give I have the opportunity to see wonderful paintings. | 1. Did it give me a chance to see wonderful paintings? – Gave Is this an opportunity for me to see wonderful paintings? |
| 2.We rehearsed a new play yesterday. - We rehearsed new play yesterday. | 2.We didn't rehearse a new play yesterday. - We didn't rehearse new play yesterday. | 2. Did we rehearse a new play yesterday? - And we yesterday rehearsed new play? |
* is the subject of the sentence, expressed by a pronoun (I, she) or a noun (price - price, game - game), and V- verb conveying action, placed in second form, if it is irregular or regular verb with added ending -ed.
How to figure out if a verb is correct? Very simply wrong you just need learn by heart ! There is a table for this irregular verbs. Here are some of them:
| Verb (Verb) | Verb 2 | Verb 3 | Russian Translation |
| feed | fed | fed | feed |
| go | went | gone | walk |
| See | saw | seen | see |
| meet | met | met | meet |
| lose | lost | lost | lose, lose |
| win | won | won | win, win |
| take | took | taken | take |
| be | was | were | be |
| give | gave | given | give |
To form a sentence, select a form from second speakers!!!
If the verb does not appear in the table of irregular verbs, then there are no problems, just add the ending to the stem -ed.
If the sentence is negative or interrogative, we use the verb in the first form, since we use auxiliary DID !
Now let's get back to life situations
Imagine yourself on tour actor or actress(actor, actress), who is asked about what has happened in his life recently. Let's carry out discussion(discussion) on a given topic.
– What did you do yesterday?(What did you do yesterday?) – the interlocutor asks interestedly. – Was there something interesting in your life?(Did anything interesting happen in your life?).
You, of course, begin to describe the events that occurred. The first thing a wandering person needs is to point out the fact that he does not sit still, but travels. How? The fastest and most common way is air transportation. "Fly" in English to fly, and if your flight (a flight) took place yesterday, then you flew(form of the verb in the simple past tense). Did you fly to Riga yesterday? Let's say
I flewto Riga yesterday – I am summer yesterday l V Riga.
Note! the direction of your flight is indicated by a preposition “to” – flu to Riga, to Moscow, to London.
We've sorted out travel, let's get back to your occupation. Are you an actor (or just creative person), which means people, spectators are extremely important to you, their perception is important - perception, the way they perceive(perceive) and absorb[əb’zɔːb] (understand) what you want to convey to them. As a rule, for good game the public remains extremely Grateful[‘greɪtf(ə)l], grateful.
However, there are no two identical people in the world and, especially, identical nations, which means that the question should be answered:
What is the difference between….? - What is it? difference between….?
And, of course, describe your impressions[ɪm’preʃ(ə)ns] impressions of visiting a particular city, city[‘sɪtɪ].
Expressions for dialogue
Let's give a few more useful words and expressions that can be useful in a friendly dialogue, dividing them into groups.
Firstly, are very important introductory structures type:
- I will be short - I will be brief.
- At the end of the talk - at the end of the conversation.
- At the same time - at the same time.
- Fortunately/unfortunately – fortunately/unfortunately.
- In a positive/good sense - in a good sense.

Don't forget to use expressions like these!
Secondly, It is impossible to do without naming objects and phenomena of reality in speech.
- Price – price.
- Team - team.
- Opinion [ə’pɪnjən] – opinion.
- Space – space.
- Stage - stage. On stage - on stage.
Thank you to our team spirit we won. - Thanks to teams in our spirit, we won.

- To spend time - spend time.
- To keep silence - to remain silent.
- To go to bed - go to sleep
- To feel – to feel/to feel.

And, of course, adverbs indicate time and frequency of action.

- Usually [‘juːʒ(ə)lɪ] – usually
He often repeated that on air – He often repeated this on air.

One more thing! To each to modern man you need to be familiar with the names of some realities. For example, we often use biblical names in speech:
- Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ
- Virgin Mary - Mother of God
- Trinity - Trinity (the famous icon of A. Rublev, exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery, has a similar name).
- And, of course, the Bible itself – the Bible.
So for modern (modern) knowledge of a foreign language is an essential necessity, but learning it is not easy, because you have to (you must, you require) remember and constantly keep in mind a huge amount of information. And nothing will help with this better than practical training.
