Mimino
Recently I watched again one of my favourite movies, that is called Mimino. The movie was created in the Soviet Era by Georgiy Nikolayevich Daneliya. He was one of the most noted film creators of The Soviet Union, his movies are still adored by millons of people. Today I want to tell you about the movie Mimino. It was filmed in 1977 (yes, it's rather old, but it's considered to belong to the group of films that are created for all times and all generations) and instantly became very popular. It depicts a series of events that happened with a helicopter pilot Valico, his nickname is Mimino. He flies from a big city (in Georgia, Грузия) to remote mountain villages and transfers food, stock, people and so on. One day he accidentaly met a girl who he liked very much. She lives in Moscow and she is a stewardess (she is a member of a crew that works on international airlines and it was very prestigious at the time). Mimino can't forget the girl and think of her all the time. It seems that it's impossible to have relationships with such a girl, she is beautifull and successfull while he is just a pilot of a small helicopter. And he decided to change his life, he left hus current job and goes to Moscow, he wants to get an additional education and become a pilot of a modern airplane and at the same time to meet Larisa (it's her name). In Moscow he goes through a series of fun and rediculous events, finds close friends, meets old enemies, even gets to prison and eventually he becomes a pilot of a brand-new plane (like Concord) and he is now a member of a crew that flies abroad too. All the time Larisa rejected all his attempts to meet, she and her sisters even mocked at him. But when they accidentaly meet each other again in an iternational airport she apologizes and offers to meet. Mimino declines her offer and in the end of the films we see him as a pilot of a small helicopter again

Komi language
I live in the north of Russia. My country is divided into 85 parts and each part has its own capital. I live in the part of Russia named Republic Komi and its capital is Syktyvkar. Russia is multinatinal state, there are many local languages in different parts of the country. For example in my Republic a lot of people speak Komi Language. The language belongs to the Finno-Ugrian group of languages (which also includes Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian and other languages). It's very difficult language to learn. I think is a common feature of any language of the Finno-Ugrian group (lots of people say Finnish or Estonian are difficult to learn too). As far as I know Komi language is a dying language, the amount of people who speaks the language is decreasing from year to year. If I had 200 years to live I would learn the language but I have to improve my English )
I attached the coat of arm of the Republic Komi to the entry

Again about articles ((
I am reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling and in the chapter three (THE LETTERS FROM NO ONE) I see such paragraphs:
.....
Next morning at breakfast, everyone was rather quiet. Dudley was in shock. He’d screamed, whacked his father with his Smelting stick, been sick on purpose, kicked his mother, and thrown his tortoise through the greenhouse roof, and he still didn’t have his room back. Harry was thinking about this time yesterday and bitterly wishing he’d opened the letter in the hall. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia kept looking at each other darkly.
.....
.....
The repaired alarm clock rang at six o’clock the next morning. Harry turned it off quickly and dressed silently. He mustn’t wake the Dursleys. He stole downstairs without turning on any of the lights.
.....
In the first case - "Next morning at breakfast..." - without "THE" before "morning"
In the second case - "...at six o’clock the next morning..." - with "THE" before "morning"
Why?

Again about articles (
I am reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling and in the chapter two (THE VANISHING GLASS) I see such paragraph:
...
Dudley’s birthday—how could he have forgotten? Harry got slowly out of bed and started looking for socks. He found a pair under his bed and, after pulling a spider off one of them, put them on. Harry was used to spiders, because the cupboard under the stairs was full of them, and that was where he slept.
...
I don't understand why the author did not use articles before BED (... out of bed ...) and SOCKS (... looking for socks...).
I explain for myself the absence "THE" before "Socks" such way - SOCKS are plural here and it's not important what kind of SOCKS the author meant. If Harry was looking for ONE sock we would see "a sock", wouldn't we?

To find a pronunciation of a phrase
Hi everyone!
I create my own courses (I collect there unknown words from different sources). There are a lot of resources where I can easily find a pronunciation of a single word (like "table", "pen", "book", etc) to add to my courses (I can dowload files with the pronunciation of a word on my PC). But very often I need a pronunciation of a phrasal verb or a phrase and I fail to find sites from what I can DOWNLOAD files on my PC. For example I am learning the phrasal verb "BREAK DOWN" so I need to download a file (*.mp3, ...) with the pronunciation of the phrasal verb
Would anyone know the resources like this?

White nights
I got up early today, it was about ten to 7 o'clock. I don't like being awake so early but I had to go to work today.
Moreover, there is another reason why I couldn't sleep today. We call it "white nights". My city isn't a popular place to visit for tourists but I guess if someone visited Saint-Petersburg someday in summer should have seen the nights. It isn't dark at nights in this period. The sunset is happening but the sun doesn't hide deeply behind the horizont. It causes the light nights and I can sleep well. The appearance of such effect depends on the location of a city on the map of the world. There are cities in my region where the sunset doesn't happen in these days.

Where to rest in Georgia?
I've never been to Georgia but I really want to visit this country. I heard a lot about hospitality of Georgians, tasty food, good wine ) and excellent climate. We are planning our summer vacation and considering the country as one of possible options. I know a little about Batumi but I'm sure there are a lot of good places for a rest there. Could anyone give me some adviсe where we may rest? We are going to vacation with children and it should be a mostly quiet place
it's very interesting to read replies from people from Georgia )

A service for collecting, learning and repeating new words
I am a Russian native speaker and I am learning English. I currently use some services for collecting, learning and repeating new words, but all the services give me an opportunity to do this by providing only Russian-English or English-Russian translation. I am looking for a service (site, mobile app) that offers only En <-> En translation. I repeat I want to find a service that allows not only to see a translation of a word or a phrase but to collect, learn and repeat words.
I am exploring the site - Vocabulary. com

I'd, He'd, ...
Sometimes I get confused with the distinction of using squeezed WOULD and HAD at the end of phrases like "I'd", "He'd" and so on. Which one of the words was used in a phrase? The simple case is Conditionals, I usually have no troubles with it but in other cases I often have problems. Is there a strong rule on the subject?

Animal Farm
I don't have much time for reading. But I try to read in English a small peace of some text every day. For example, I am reading "Animal Farm" by George Orwell now. It's a fantastic novel and with evey new page I fall more and more in love with the book. I guess, a pupil of every Russian school shoud read and memorize this book because it contains a full description of the Russia and Soviet history in the 20 century.
