Talking about our life — in English 🌍💬 My visit to a circus! 🎪✨ Yesterday, I had the incredible pleasure of visiting the State Circus “Сosmos” with my beloved nieces. As always, the show was absolutely breathtaking — a true feast for the eyes and the soul! 😍💫 This time, we were treated to a spectacular performance by Filatov’s Circus.

Hey, I always hear, “Saturdays are for relaxing!” 😅 But my Saturdays feel more like… “Okay, the teaching part is done, time for the other work.” It’s definitely not chilling on the couch. It’s more like: no teaching, no studying → do the dishes 🍽️ , a load of laundry 🧺 → tidy up the the house 🧹, do some gardening 👨‍🌾 → and maybe sneak in a cup of tea in between ☕. But you know what? I kind of like it. There was a cool Soviet saying for pioneers: "Лучший отдых — это смена деятельности". There’s a similar English saying: “A change is as good as a rest.” And they're basically my Saturday motto 🤩 Tell me in the comments: what’s your version of “different work” on weekends? 👇 #saturdaylife #englishpractice #clubtalk --- Говорят, субботы — для отдыха! 😅 А у меня субботы…

In English, we use the Past Simple after if, but we're not talking about the past. We're imagining a different present or future. Now it's your turn! 👇 ✍️ Write 2–3 Second Conditional sentences about your imaginary life in the comments. F…
