My favorite proverbs are :
-A friend in need is a friend indeed
-A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved.
-Forbearance is not acquittance
-Every Jack has his Jill.
When I was a child we lived in a house in a country. We were two girls. We had a big mountain garden and when my father came home we had a lot of things to do. We went to the garden and had to harvest some fruit and mow the lawn.
My Mum stayed at home and prepared the dinner for us. After dinner my Mum put us to bed. My sister told me some funny stories and her problems before we slept. We had a lot of fun.
When I (be) was a child life (be) was quite different . We (live) lived in small house in the country an we (have) had a big garden . We (spend) spent most of the time outside . My father (go) went to work every morning and Mum(stay) stayed at home .She (have to) had to look after us. We (be) were two boys and a girl . When Dad (come) came home he (take) took a shower first and then he (play) played with us. That (be) was always great fun. Our parents (insist on ) insisted on having dinner together.We (like) liked that. My mother (cook) cooked wonderful meals and my father often (tell) told funny stories. After that Mum (put) put us to bed and everybody (listen) listened to her brilliant good night stories . Those (be) were great times .
When I was a child life was quite different. We lived in a big flat in the city and we had a very big garden. We spent most of the time outside. My father went to work every morning and my mother stayed at home. She had to look after us. We were 3 boys and 3 girls.

Every time when Iâm listening to the song âPoor Boyâ by the Lords I think about my childhoodâŚ
I was born in the year 1949. When I was a child I lived in a small town near Nordhausen. My father worked as a post office clerk and my mother commuted every day, because she sold childâs shoes in a special shop in the town of Nordhausen. When I was 4 year old, my sister was born. Because I lived in this small town, we had a big garden, twenty chickens, twenty ducks, many rabbits and a goat. My father didnât earn a lot of money, neither did my mother and therefore my parents fed us on the fruit and vegetables from the garden and on the pets. I only had a few toys. My favourite toy was a crossbow my father made for me. When I was nine I began to play the accordion and the music teacher came up to us three times a week and taught me to play this instrument. Later I played in a band. Unfortunately I couldnât fulfil my dreams to learn playing the drums.
My childhood ended when I went to the grammar school in the town of Nordhausen. The whole week I learned in a boarding school and was around my friends who also lived in Nordhausen. At the weekends I delivered newspapers to earn money. When I was 18 year old I moved to Magdeburg and went to the University of Technology and studied construction and design of power stations.

Hi Georgeta and Torsten,
nice to hear you and to know that you and your groups are well. As you know I lived nine years in the town of Magdeburg and I would very pleased if I could go again to the town of my studies. Am I right if I think that this school is located in the area of the former well-known factory âKarl-Liebknecht-Werkâ in Magdeburg? I had there an internship in 1968. Yes, I have wonderful memories when I think about the time when I was a student at the UniversityâŚ
So, Iâm looking forward to the replies of our groups

Hello Torsten!
I donât know if it is a bad idea to have all three groups start posting and sharing their Media Library. It would be a way to enrich each studentâs listening arsenal. Yesterday was the first day in the IT room, they familiarized themselves with the english.best homepage, but, unfortunately, we have no headsets and many computers do not have flash player installed. After lunch, I will take the group to the IT room again and ask them to post their thoughts.
Best regards,
Georgeta

Hello Anje, Martina, Christin, Wolfgang Guenther, Jeniffer, Georgeta and Christine, how are things with you today? Thank you very much for all your feedback and your questions. The mood in Eilenburg is excellent, we have already explained a number of new words to each other and now we are going to discuss an LCCI picture together. Later weâll try to get online so we can all read your messages and ask you some questions.
Speak to you soon,
Torsten
Hello Torsten

Today we did so many things at first we played a game with a bomb Christine told us a topic and we answered a noun or a subject or a animals etc.
And then we got a worksheet with tongue twisters and we read this that is very interesting and funny the we listened to the 8 o´clock news from BBC and spoke about them!
After that we got many little cards and we assigned to DO or MAKE !
And at the moment we speak about Vocabulary from Job .
