Den sjov historie Det var meget sjov historie. Min mor har mange ure. Sommetider starter de at vise forkert tid. En dag kom min ven i mit hjem. Vi snakkede i løbet af tyve eller tredive minuter, da hun så på et ur. Derefter så hun på andet ur. Dette ur viste anderledes tid end første. Tredje ur viste anden tid igen. Hun kun ikke forstå, hvad klokken er nu. ¨Jeg skal gå hen, ¨ min ven sagde. Jeg talte hende, hvad klokken er, men hun nægtede at fortsætte vores snak. Jeg synes, min ven kun ikke tro mine ord, fordig mange ure viste forskellig tid.

En Søndag I dag blæser vinden. Den er meget stærk. Jeg gik en tur fordi kan jeg lide vinden. Vejret var ikke koldt og solen skinnede hele dagen. Jeg så på træer og skyen. Den var så blå. I Russland skinner solen sjælend i November og December. Det er derfor kan jeg lide hver solrig dag. Hvis en dag er ikke solrig eller det er koldt eller det regner jeg drikker en kop te med chokoladeis eller rundstykke og tror om sol. (!!! This note in English just explains one in Danish and they don't quite match up. The wind has been blowing since last evening. It is very strong and I like it. That's why I went for a walk today. The weather was not cold and the sun had been shining since morning. During my walk I looked at trees and sky. The sky was such blue. In Russia the sun shines seldom in November and December and I like every sunny day in this time of year. If the weather is cold or it is raining or the sun does not shine I like to drink tea with cake or chocolate. In such gloomy day I prefer to think about the sun. )

Min dag I dag sov jeg som en sten. Jeg vågnede op et kvarter i syv. Det var sent og jeg spiste ikke min morgenmad. Jeg rejste hjemmefra og kørte til et firma. Der spiste jeg rundstykker med en cop te. Jeg holder at en te med letmælk. Midt på dagen var det en middag. Jeg var lidt sulten og glad for at spise middagen. (Today I woke up at a quarter to seven. It was too late and I went to work without my breakfast. There I had a cup of tea with bread. I like tea with milk. I had dinner at two o'clock and was hungry all this time. )

The Danish Castles The day before departure was devoted to visiting of castles. On the one hand, it was raining, so it was impossible to walk around the castles and in towns and to make photos. On the other hand, because of the bad weather I had enough time to visit two castles. I had never seen such amazing castles. The first castle was Kronborg. It is situated in Elsinore and is called Hamlet's castle because of the famous Shakespeare's tragedy. The Kronborg's guide says William Shakespeare set his play there. There are not many furniture and pictures in the castle due to the occupation of one by Swedes in 1658. However it has enough sights to sense medieval spirit. So contemporary technologies allow to make an illusion of flaming fireplace. It was so remarkable to walk in the castle's apartments, listen to sounds of flaming fireplace, look at illusory fire and feel illusory warm. I viewed a Swedish coast and imagined castle's life, listening to the fire's sounds. It is raining, a man is sitting behind a table by a fireplace and reading some papers. Soldiers noticed a ship and one of them is reporting now. Water is dribbling down his coat. The man, sitting behind the table, knows he must stand up, take a coat, leave this comfortable and warm room and join to the soldiers outside the castle to examine the ship. First time in my life I saw a ballroom there. It is the largest ballroom in Northern Europe and it is decorated a series of pictures, devoted to planets. Each picture has a small tablet with plot's description, made simply and clearly. First time in my life it was interesting for me to look at the pictures. I guess, having known its plots, it was so interesting.

What is it? Yesterday my host and I discussed the sights of Copenhagen. She told me there is a spot on an embankment where I can see Sweden's coast from. We spoke in English, but today in my mind there is this sentense in Russian. What is this: a result of my habit to translate everything from English into Russian or something else?

I continue studying Copenhagen Last two days the weather was warm and I have been continuing studying Copenhagen. Yesterday I visited it's south-east part. It does not have so many sights as the center has, but it is a very quite and beautiful city's district. One of it's sights is Christiania. I have heard there are many old buildings there, but did not walk in this block because of it's danger. Today I visited the northern city's district. There are very good preserved fortifications there and I must notice they are very beautiful. In the center of Copenhagen there is a queen's palace. In the one of it's parts there is a small museum. I was surprised all gala queen's dresses are such long. At the same time it was interesting to see her in a traditional suit on a photograph. I made an awful mistake. I did not plan my walk well and have not visited a national museum. In Copenhagen I wanted to visit two museums. They are the national museum and wax figures museum. Last one was closed in 2007 and the first one has day off every Monday. It is a pity. P.s. This telephone keyboard makes me crazy.

Hello Denmarm! So yesterday I arrived in Denmark and today it was my first walk in Copenhagen. If the wind had not been too strong the weather would have been nice. I was cold very much due to this wind. On the one hand I liked city, but on the other hand the old town looks like Riga's old one a little bit. Sometimes I confused where I am and it was not nice. I found out almost everyone speaks in English and it is very comfortable. At the same time there are a lot of names in Danish and sometimes it is difficult to understand what building or church is. To my mind, an autumn is the best season for travelling, because a view, containing autumn's colours looks perfectly. Also in the autumn big crowds of people on the streets are absent and it makes a walk more comfortable. I saw famous Tivoli garden and was disappointed. It is not so big as I thought. I guess, it took me about twenty minutes to walk around it. I hope tomorrow the weather will be nice to continue my walk.

I am enjoying my life It is so pleasure to sit in an airport and watch arriving airplanes. The weather is fine and I have wonderful mood. Only two things are annoying me. It is small keyboard in my telephone and I am hungry. But they are too small to stop enjoying the life. I have liked airplanes since I flied to Chech Republic. I am flying to a country which is only a color spot on the map for me. I have read a lot of information about one, but it changed nothing. I booked a room in the hotel, but have not lived in this sort of hotels. I am nervous a little bit, but hope the trip will be pleasure. Any way the sun is shining and it is enough to have a good mood and nice flight.

Could you explain the meaning of marked words in the sentences below? 1) Harry had been quite right to think she was not a teacher TO CROSS. 2) His classroom smelled strongly of garlic, which everyone said was to ward off a vampire he'd met in Romania and was afraid WOULD BE COMING BACK to get him one of these days. (I guess the subject is missed in the last clause. Is it Future Unreal Conditional?)
