Movie Review: Green Book [Spoilers!]
This is a biographic drama. All occasions, shown at the film based on a true story. The film shows to viewers about race's prejudice.
The main character is Dr. Donald Shirley - sophisticated, intelligence, smart, rich and talent musician, with one consistency - he is a black. And he is didn't lucky to live in times when it does matter. In times, when your rights depend on your nationality, but not social status. Shirley often has different trouble on streets or in bars, that is why he decided to hire a bodyguard for a future performance tour. He was looking for the best man. Fists were only one selection bias. The best reputation to solve problems in America had Italian’s mafia. So Shirley could achieve attention from a guy with the name «Lips».
This partnership changes their lives forever. This film totally interesting by changing «Lips». At the begging the film he was full of hate and prejudice about black people.
At the watching time, I enjoy the game of Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. How Viggo could to performance an outmoded accent.
This movie about human’s stupid and cowardice. You have to be brave if you want to think differently than the rest of society. If you want to be profound and to be able to see what exactly you see, and don’t repeat another’s stupid conclusions, simple unswears and fast judge. Just only because of all thinking like that. And you are just a coward or really not exactly smart.
The film awarded several prestigious awards. This movie is an invaluable contribution to filmmaking.
PS: An interesting fact about the situation when Lips bump police officer and Shirley and Lips send to prison. Shirley really called Attorney General, who ordered freedom them. This occasion was literally before a couple of days before JFK murder.

Да нет, наверное – Russian expression which blows up Americans brain.
Hello, today I’m gonna tell you about Russian expression which blows up Americans brain.
This note is a kind of answer for video from YouTube blogger Justin – the American guy, who has been learning Russian for 3 years and make a video about it. You can see the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00iZrqlNJL8
I hope, my reasoning will be useful for all American students, and it cans to understand the Russian language better.
This expression is «да нет, наверное»
The main misconception is that students try to translate the sentence by word, that is why they receive literally «YES NO MAYBE/PROBABLY» and it is a senseless expression.
In this case, first «да» doesn’t mean YES, it is vernacular, which one Russians understand like a «well», it is a kind of introduction. The next, «нет», and it really means «no». And the last one «наверное», it literally means «probably». So, we receive a sense «probably not» and we haven’t got no one contradictions. It means «no» but, at the same time, not categorically.
Examples, where you can see a similar meaning:
Да чего ты?
Да ладно тебе
The conclusion is, that figurative meaning of Russian «да», uses principally in a low-level spoken language.
You are welcome to discussions and as always, waiting for your edits :)

► Weekend (version is fixed)
Thank everyone for your help, I am publishing a correct version
↓ ↓ ↓
Recently I got back from a short-outing, from a mini-journey. It was one of the best weekends of the summer!
The week before I reserved a room in a country resort. The hotel has a great reputation and has good reviews. I took a room with a balcony on the top floor. My baggage was: a suitcase with bathing suits, a hat and a couple dresses and no warm clothes! It is +28 degrees outside for more than 10 days - it is a very rare situation for St.-Pb.
On site there is a 25-meters outdoor swimming pool with a constant water temperature of +27 degrees. It is a totally relaxing atmosphere!
There was were also a few foreigners, that who were couples. I heard English and Spanish speech.
Below I have attached a photo with a beachfront sunset in suburbs of St.-Pb.

My baggage was: a suitcase with bathing suits, flat and couple dresses and no warm clothes! In St.-Pb 28-32 degrees above zero for more than 10 days - it is so rare situation.
On site there is a 25-meters outdoor swimming pool with a constant temperature of water +27 degrees. The total relaxing atmosphere!

THE TERROR. AMC - No spoilers, you can read
I haven’t written at notes about one week. I have reasons, I practice English-speaking skills & watch an awesome series 'THE TERROR'. Today my note will be about the series. I want to write mini-review.
This series based on a real story about a failed polar expedition in 1845. So, England, two the most high-tech icebreakers EREBUS and TERROR headed for discovering a North-West transit for short trading way. Flawless manners, discipline, and subordination - has shown for us. Real old-school English gentlemen in harsh circumstances. And no chances to live, unfortunately. I have the best impressions!
How do you think? Maybe literally from this story stems preconceptions about a ship’s names?

Why I am learning English? My reasons
First of all, I want to tell you, I couldn't write this note month ago. I learn English for 5 weeks and finally, I see a progress.
I learned English many years ago. I learned when I was studying in school when I was studying in the college and finally when I was studying at the University. But English didn't interesting me. I afraid to imagine how many years I lost. In other words, no reason - no progress.
But now, I exactly understand why I am studying English. Today I will tell you my reasons.
▫ First of all, it is my hobbies. I very interest in aesthetic medicine, skin's mechanisms and I want to read scientific research in the original language.
▫ Next. I really love American's movies. A movie with original audio & a movie with Russian's adaptation - it is two different movies. I prefer the first.
▫ Finally, now, my work supposes to have conversations with English speaking people.

Lakhta Center. 462 meters at the Saint-Petersburg
Today I decided to tell you about Lakhta Center. This is a new business & culture center at the Saint-Petersburg. It is a dizzy building. Its high is 462 meters! It is the highest build in Europe. "Lakhta Center" will be accessed for an excursion already this month. It will be breathtaking view on the 80th floor!
Some time ago I saw the BBC mini-show "Supersized Earth", each episode about different topics: super buildings, amazing vehicles & different engineer constructions.
Now, in my city is the building worthy to be in this serial :)

Chinchilla as a pet
Chinchillas are adorable pet! I am one of the happy chinchilla's owner. It has a very pretty face. Its fur is the most mildly in the world & so chinchilla's fur requires specific care. For example, it can't swim in water, because its fur will be damage, it takes only a specific sand bath, like a small bird. It's looking so pretty & funny.
Also, all chinchillas are vegetarian. It follows a stringent diet: no nuts, no sweets, no fresh vegetables or berries, no meat. It eats only dry pressed grass, dry carrot and dry barries, like a raspberry or dogrose.
It is so small and highly (or better use "rather"?) wild, but it understands kindness and weasel.
Below I attach a pretty photo from the internet. It's mother with her puppy ♥
