Write an essay about the following topic “SOS – Save Our Space. We need your help to clean up our city. What have you ever done or are going to do to keep it clean?”

It’s up to all of us to look after the environment. So what can we do?

Use less paper. Paper comes from trees, and we need to protect the forests where trees grow.
Recycle things like glass and plastic. When we use things more than once, we help to protect our environment.
Turn off taps when you aren’t using the water. Water is a very precious thing, and we shouldn’t waste it.
Don’t throw litter on the streets! Always put your rubbish in a bin! Try to travel less by car or plane. Cars and planes produce fumes which pollute the atmosphere. And remember – that’s the air that we breathe, so we should do our best to keep it clean!

to be up to sb – մեկից կախված լինել
look after – հոգ տանել, պատասխանաատու լինել
environment- շրջակա միջավայր, բնաշխարհ
recycle – վերամշակել (թափոնները), նորից օգտագործել
come from – ծագել, առաջանալ

tap – ծորակ
precious – թանկարժեք
waste – վատնել, անտեղի ծախսել

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
The Moon	Týr	Odin	Thor	Frigg	Saturn	The Sun

In the Nordic countries, the Sun (Sunday) and the Moon (Monday) also became the first two days of the week, and the Roman gods became four of the Nordic gods with similarities:

Mars became Tyr (Tuesday), Mercury became Odin (Wednesday), Jupiter became Thor (Thursday) and Venus became Frigg (Friday). Saturday came outside the system: The Norse form ‘Saturday’ means ‘hot water day’ – which can be translated as ‘washing day’ or ‘washing water day’.

Sunnudagr – Sunday, the day of the Sun

Sól is a goddess in Norse mythology. ‘Sol’ means Sun. Over time, the day of the sun became Sunday.
In the runic alphabet, the rune-S name is Sun.

Mánadagr – Monday

The name Monday is related to the moon. The Latin name for moon is ‘Luna’, and in French Monday is still called ‘Lundí’.
In the Nordic areas, the moon was called “Mani”, and in time Mánadagr became Monday.

In Norse mythology, a distinction is made between two different meanings of the name ‘Maní’, meaning moon.
One is the cosmic phenomenon ‘the moon’, and in the other sense it referes to a mythical person. Monday was the day of the moon, and is named after the mythical person ‘Maní’.

Tysdagr – Tuesday

Mars is a god of war, and so is the Nordic god ‘Tyr’ or ‘Tír’.
It is Týr who has given his name to Tuesday.
In Norse mythology, Týr is one of the Aesir. He is primarily known as the god of justice and war, but is also described as wise and brave.
The T-rune was associated with Tyr.

Óðinsdagr – Wednesday

Odin can be compared to the Roman god Mercury, so in the Nordic tradition, Odin (also known as ‘Woden’) gave his name to Wednesday.

Odin is the most prominent god in traditional Norse mythology.
He is particularly associated with war luck, royal power, rune power, and wisdom.

Odin is the most powerful and eldest of the Æsir. He rules all things, and is mightier than the other gods, they all serve him as children obey a father. Frigg is his wife, and she knows all the fates of men, though she speaks no prophecy.
Odin is called All-father because he is the father of all the gods. He is also called the father of the Slain, because all those that fall in battle are the sons of his adopt on, for them he appoints Valhal.

Þórsdagr – Thursday

Thor is reminiscent of Jupiter, as they both deal with lightning and thunder. So this day of the week became Thursday.
Thor is in Nordic mythology Sif’s husband and was the god of thunder.
The name Þórr (Thor) is related to the word ‘thunder’.
Thor controlled the weather and fought the enemies of civilization, who at that time were giants and trolls.
He is associated with strength, aggression, and reliability.

Thor is strongest of all the gods and men. He has his realm in the place called Thrúdvangar, and his hall is called Bilskirnir, in that hall are five hundred rooms and forty.
Thor has two he-goats, which are called Tooth-Gnasher and Tooth-Gritter, and a chariot draen by the he-goats.

Frjádagr – Friday

Venus is the goddess of love, and so is Frigg (and maybe also Freya, as they may have originally been the same goddess).
Frígg gave the name to Friday.
Frigg is Odin’s wife in Norse mythology. She was perceived as the goddess of marriage.
She was also a protector and helper in traditional women’s work, such as weaving, sewing and cooking.
Frigg has a farmstead called Fensalir, and it is most glorious.

Laugardagr (sunnunótt) – Saturday

Most inexplicable among the Old Norse day-names is laugardagr.

‘Laug’ mean bath or hot water and ‘dagr’ means day. So you can translate the Nordic word for Saturday into ‘the day of the hot water’ or ‘bathing dag’

Saturday was also known as Sunnunótt – the night before Sunday and can be recognized – in some parts of Germany – often used words for Saturday: ‘Sonnabend’

In Latin the day was named after Saturn (Saturni), and we can recognize it in the English language; Saturday.

Present continuous
The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements (համաձայնություն, պայմանավորվածություն, պլանավորվածություն) for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. e.g. I’m meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this.

PAST SIMPLE TENSE (PS) Անցյալ պարզ ժամանակաձև
Verbs can be regular (կանոնավոր) or irregular (անկանոն). Regular verbs form their past and past participle forms by adding –ed. Irregular verbs form their past and past participle forms in different ways.

You worked/You did your homework.
Did you work?/Did you do your homework?
You didn’t work/You didn’t do your homework.

If a verb ends in -e, you add –d.
agree – agreed, like – liked, escape – escaped

If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before –ed.
stop – stopped, plan – planned

If a verb ends in a consonant and -y, you take off the y and add –ied.
try – tried, carry – carried

There are three kinds of pronunciation: /d/, /t/ and /ɪd/. Look at the table below.
[d]- arrived, failed, agreed
[t]- asked, crossed, stopped
[id]- wanted, decided, started

PS is used to talk about events in the past that are separate from now (the moment of speaking).
PS is used with adverbs and phrases (expressions) referring to time completely in the past, such as
yesterday -երեկ
the day before yesterday– երեկ չէ առաջին օրը, նախանցյալ օրը
the other day – անցյալ օրը,
last night – երեկ երեկոյան
last time – անցյալ անգամ
last – վերջին անգամ
the night /year / month before last– նախանցյալ երեկո/տարի/ամիս

last week/summer/year/etc անցյալ շաբաթ, ամառ, տարի
an hour/a week/two days/a year ago/etc – մի ժամ, մի շաբաթ, երկու օր, մի տարի առաջ
in June / 2019/etc. – հունիսին, 2019թ. և այլն

https://listenaminute.com/a/advice.html

I don’t know what I would do without my friends’ advice. They’ve all given me so much good advice over the years. It’s sometimes very difficult to make decisions on your own. Listening to advice can be great for helping you make the right decision. The greatest piece of advice I’ve received was from my father. He told me I can do anything in life if I try hard. He was right. I am now passing on his advice to my own children. Right now I need some advice on money. My financial advisors are telling me to be very careful. That’s very sound advice. I would advise anyone to do the same. Someone asked me the other day about the worst piece of advice I’ve ever had. I couldn’t answer. I don’t think I’ve had any really bad advice.
