Safari Ya Mombasa | Trip To Mombasa 

We all like to plan ahead and sometimes, especially at work, we have TO WORK TO DEADLINES. 
Deadlines can often seem DAUNTING and stressful, particularly if you have lots of work to complete and the deadline is j JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 
However, not all deadlines are bad! 
At work, deadlines give us a goal to aim for and can push us to achieve far more than we might expect. 
Remember to set yourself daily, weekly and monthly OBJECTIVES to achieve, and perhaps use a smartphone app to track your progress. 
You can then use this information next time you meet with your boss to show how productive you are. You never know, it might also help with a promotion or pay rise! 
While personal plans such as meeting a friend for drinks or playing tennis next weekend involve deadlines, these arrangements are more flexible, so you needn’t be OVERLY worried about the time.  
However, remember that you don’t want to be late for your appointments and keep your friends waiting, so think about what you need to do BEFOREHAND and give yourself enough time to achieve it successfully, with just a little extra time added JUST IN CASE.
Take your next vacation for instance. What do you need to plan? 
Tickets, a hotel reservation, or a taxi to the airport. 
Someone to look after your pets or houseplants while you are away. 
Don’t leave all your planning to THE LAST MINUTE. After all, it’s never too early to plan ahead!

Dialogue Comprehension 

В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь со сказкой "репка". Эта сказка очень известная, потому что в ней говорится о простых вещах: важность работы в команде и важность семьи. 
Дедушка сажает овощ репку, но репка вырастает слишком большая, поэтому дедушке сложно сделать всю работу одному...

А здесь вы найдете новые слова, которые вам могут быть нужны: 
Свернуть горы - move mountains;
Посадить - to plant;
Тащить/вытащить, тянуть/потянуть - to drag/to pull;
Земля - land, soil.

А вот текст в конце сказки (spoiler alert): 
"мышка за кошку,
кошка за Жучку,
Жучка за внучку,
внучка за бабку,
бабка за дедку,
дедка за репку 
тянут-потянут, — вытянули репку!"
- Почему ЗА + падеж 4? - Потому что мышка ((держится)) за кошку и т.д.



Russian with a tale

The verb 离 indicates the distance between two points. 
It often occurs before adjectives like 远（yuǎn） and 近（jìn）. 

ān nà jiā lí shū diàn hěn yuǎn 。 
安娜家离书店很远。Anna's house is far from the bookstore.

ān nà jiā lí ɡōnɡ sī hěn jìn 。 
安娜家离公司很近。Anna's house is very close to the office.

Sometimes it takes the verb-object phrase 有(yǒu)……米(mǐ) to indicate the exact distance.

wǒ jiā lí xué xiào yǒu 400 mǐ 。 
我家离学校有400米。My home is 400 meters away from my school.

wǒ jiā lí chāo shì yǒu 500 mǐ 。 
我家离超市有500米。My home is 500 meters from the supermarket.

chāo shì lí xué xiào yǒu 100 mǐ 。 
超市离学校有100米。The supermarket is 100 meters from the school.
