Downton Abbey (Group 3) by Yulia https://padlet.com/uliashanz/jxv3utjatiss Made with a curious mind en-us 2016-10-28 10:22:49 UTC 2017-03-09 09:41:39 UTC hello@padlet.com Here is the question about Episode 1:                                                                                         Dear students, please, list the ISSUES raised in the 1st episode?

And one more thing: do not forget to post your words with Russian/English translation / definition. ]]> 2016-10-28 11:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/uliashanz/jxv3utjatiss/wish/133852476 gabriela_aloyan https://padlet.com/uliashanz/jxv3utjatiss/wish/134169299 The 1st episode of the series was filled with the different issues.
The first one was about "unsinkable" Titanic, because the Lord Grantham's causin Patrick and another relative were on board and died.
Patrick was Mary's fiance and an heir of the whole fortune. Now the family faced up the following problems because of that:
- The whole estate will be inherited by a stranger,
- Mary will get a dowry, but not that attractive for the potential candidates for marriage with her

There are also some side issues, in my point of view:

1. A relationship between Bates and the Lord and the servants of the house.
2. Bates and Anna
3. Thomas and his desire \ wish to become a Lord's footman
4. Thomas and Duke
5. Relationships between Lord's daughters - especially Mary and Edith]]> 2016-10-31 10:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/uliashanz/jxv3utjatiss/wish/134169299 Alexander Gerasimov. alexander_gerasimov https://padlet.com/uliashanz/jxv3utjatiss/wish/134519108 1st episode:
\no one can become an heir
\possible thoughts about breaking the entail
\Thomas is willing to blackmail Duke of Crowborough
\Bates is crying thus getting his 'you can stay' ticket
4th episode:
to go cap in hand -  to ask someone for money or help in a way which makes you feel ashamed
to flannel - say absurd things/протирать фланелькой (according to lingvo)
to envisage - to have a mental picture of especially in advance of realization
prig - archaic :  fellow, person
ox - a domestic bovine mammal
5th ep.:
barking up the wrong tree
wretched
harbinger
dull as paint
keep harping back to that
Not so much an open mind as an open mouth. 
to nick - застать врасплох
spiteful

1) Titanic had sank and Robert lost two heirs one night
2) Mr.Bates is a new valet , but he doesn't fulfill the duty due to an old injury.
3) Duke appearance in Downton, his discussion with Lord Gr. about Mary and scene with Thomas...I cringed

I was supposed to write something about a Downton's room, but all of them seem quite similar.Ancient, tranquil, gloomy design without breathtaking details.
I would say that the only difference is the size. Most of them are pocky, but the Lord's family rooms are spacious.
