    НОВАЯ КВАРТИРА ИВАНА ИВАНОВИЧА
   В этом году я купил новую квартиру. Эта квартира находится в центре города. Она большая и удобная. Я взял отпуск на работе, потому что я хочу купить новую мебель.
   Теперь я весь день занят. У меня много дел. Я уже купил диван, стол, стулья, ковёр. Я ещё должен купить кровать, лампу, шкаф, картину. В комнате жены ещё нет зеркала, а в комнате дочери нет телевизора. Я думаю, что в квартире будет красиво.

ВОПРОСЫ:

1) Что есть у Ивана Ивановича?
2) 2) Чего у него нет?
3) 3) Что он хочет купить?

Can Watching Movies Help Improve My English? If Yes, How?

Movies are great sources of learning, including for improving your English. 

Even for people who don’t intentionally learn English, they can start to enrich their vocabulary and grammatical skill by watching many films.

 Although it is still highly advisable to learn English through formal education programs, movies can become an excellent tool to know how a native speaks and behaves.

Dive into my podcast and improve your listening skills, I'll ask you some questions so you can think in English & I'll get you to speak too. Have fun doing it

To hire me to understand your situation with English (IELTS speaking improvement, Job Interview Preparation or Confidence Boosting) - please check my class types and choose the most appropriate one for you now.

I am excited for our future productive collaborations together

SERBIAN TO GO

ПОКАЗНЕ ЗАМЕНИЦЕ – DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS (explained in Serbian) (A1 level)

A smile, a “hello” and a “how are you” will make an immediate
positive impression. Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles, and
you will soon be saying “hello” and smiling with more people than
you can remember.
TOP TIP: When referring to the self in Thai, as in “I”, there is a
form for male and a form for female, just as there is with khrup and
ka. Men say “Phom”, and women say “Chan”, or “Di-chan” when
speaking very politely.
There are also forms where age is concerned. When speaking to
an elder, you should refer to that person as “Pii”. To get the
attention of an elder you would say, “Pii khrup/ka”. To get the
attention of a younger person you would say, “Nong khrup/ka”.
When referring to a child you can use the word “Luuk”, which
literally means child.
