КТО КУДА ИДЁТ УТРОМ
   Сейчас  7  часов  30  минут.  Люди  идут  на  работу.  Вот  Иван  Иванович.  Он  преподаватель.  Он  идёт  в  университет.  А  это  его  жена.  Она  работает  в  библиотеке.  Лена  и  Сергей  —  их  дети.  Они  ещё учатся в школе.
   А  это  мой  сосед  Игорь.  Он  студент.  Он  учится  в  университете.  Утром  он  идёт  на  лекцию.  Обычно  он  идёт  в  университет  не  один.  Сейчас  он  ждёт  Ольгу.  Ольга  —  его  подруга.  Игорь  ждёт  её уже почти 10 минут. Вот идёт Ольга. Она говорит: «Извини, я проспала». Сейчас Игорь и Ольга идут вместе. Они спешат.
   А  вот  Андрей.  Он  тоже  спешит.  Он  хочет  взять  такси  и  ехать  на  работу  на  такси.  Он  работает  в  банке  и  не  хочет  опоздать  на  работу.
   У  меня  есть  время.  Я  иду  медленно.  Я  всегда  иду  на  работу  пешком.  Я  иду  и  смотрю,  как  спешат  люди.  Думаю,  что  они  спешат, потому что очень любят спать.

Задания:
Напишите вопросы к тексту со словами "Где...?", "Куда...?", "Почему...?"

Например: Где учатся дети? Куда идут люди? Почему Ольга опоздала?

Dear listeners, students, and friends. I am glad to introduce you to the second episode of my Lithuanian podcast for non-native speakers. 

In today's episode, you will learn more about one of my favorite Lithuanian celebrations - Užgavėnės. In 2024, Užgavėnės is going to be celebrated on the 13th of February, so I encourage you to learn a bit more about it's traditions, meaning and significance.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Contribee. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.
