Without panicking, she smiled, grabbed a marker, and turned the lesson into a game on the board. The students got excited and joined in. After class, another teacher said, “Wow, you were really on the ball.”
Sara laughed and said, “I had to be — teaching always keeps you on your toes.”

When you' re camping, don't try and put up a tent unless the ground is completely level.
Choose campsites with a good variety of facilities and entertainment in case the weather is terrible and you can't spend much time outdoors.
If you wane to explore the countryside and you're hiking during the day, be sure to have a small backpack for water, maps, lunch, etc.

Episodio 1: Duna - Parte 2

Никогда ни о чем не жалейте вдогонку,
Если то, что случилось, нельзя изменить.
Как записку из прошлого, грусть свою скомкав,
С этим прошлым порвите непрочную нить.

Никогда не жалейте о том, что случилось.
Иль о том, что случиться не может уже.
Лишь бы озеро вашей души не мутилось
Да надежды, как птицы, парили в душе.
 
Не жалейте своей доброты и участья.
Если даже за все вам — усмешка в ответ.
Кто-то в гении выбился, кто-то в начальство…
Не жалейте, что вам не досталось их бед.

Никогда, никогда ни о чем не жалейте —
Поздно начали вы или рано ушли.
Кто-то пусть гениально играет на флейте.
Но ведь песни берет он из вашей души.

Никогда, никогда ни о чем не жалейте —
Ни потерянных дней, ни сгоревшей любви.
Пусть другой гениально играет на флейте,
Но еще гениальнее слушали вы.
