Lesson 2. 
Window view. 
1.What can you see from the windows of your home? 
To answer to this question we need the word 
“overlook”. And it is a good idea to divide our 
views into two - front one and back one. Sample 
answer - Well, it would be easier for me to describe 
views if I divided the views into front and back 
ones. The front view overlooks my street where 
neighboring houses, cars and playing children can 
be seen, whereas the back view overlooks our 
garden.
2.Do you want to live in a place with beautiful views? 
It’s a strange question, so we can answer to this with 
our own question. Sample answer - Who doesn’t? 
Everyone intends to live in a place with scenic 
views, and ain’t an exception.
3.Do you like looking at the scenery from where you 
live? It’s up to you, if you like say yes, if not say no. 
Sample answer - Currently I see no point in 
looking through my windows since there is nothing 
that can grab my attention. However, when it rains 
or snows I may look out to see this beauty of the 
nature. 
4.How do you feel when you can’t see a beautiful 
view from your windows? Sample answer - 
Nothing special. It doesn’t affect me anyhow, I’m 
used to it. To be used to = to be accustomed to.

Happiness. 
1.Is there anything that makes you feel happy lately? 
Firstly, think about the things that make you happy. 
In my case, they are a delicious meal, victories of 
my favorite teams, success at work and my baby 
kicking the belly of her mom. Sample answer - 
These days I feel particularly happy when my 
students study well, I eat a delicious meal, have 
enough sleep, get some me-time, my favorite teams 
defeat others and my baby girl kicks her mother’s 
belly. 
2.What do you do to stay happy? Some possible ideas 
- avoid negative people, don’t sin, listen to my 
conscience and make others happy, so happiness 
boomerangs. Sample answer - in order to prolong 
my happy state of mind I try to avoid any sort of 
contact with negative people because their energy is 
contagious. Apart from that, I do my best to make 
those around me happy, so that it will boomerang 
me. 
3.Can you stay happy all the time? Sample answer - I 
wish I could, but I understand that there is no way to 
be happy 24|7. It is impossible to keep ourselves 
away from problems, we all have them, and they 
ruin peace in our life, which results in bitter feeling 
of unhappiness. However, I consider it to be a good 
thing, because otherwise we wouldn’t value 
happiness.

4.Is it important to be happy? Instead of saying “of 
course”, we can say - make no mistake about it. 
Sample answer - Make no mistake about it! This is 
the ultimate goal of every individual. We live to be 
happy. If it weren’t for happiness, we wouldn’t do 
anything.
