This is an important assignment. Be sure to prepare the 10 oral exercises.
Section 1: Talking about how one feels. Although you’re preparing only one section this evening, it contains much of this unit’s new information. Please study it carefully. What you’ll learn are the various ways of speaking about how you feel. Sometimes you’ll use a verb - Я чувствую себя хорошо. Sometimes you’ll use a short-form adjective - Она больна. Sometime you’ll use a form that requires the dative case of the person who feels ill or well - Мне плохо. And sometimes you’ll use a form beginning with “У меня...” - У меня грипп. There are even two phrases, at the top of p. 354, which just use the accusative case of the person either who feels nauseated or who threw up - Меня тошнит / Меня вырвало. (How pleasant!)
Read and learn all these ways to speak about how you feel. Then prepare ex. 9-8 through 9-14 in your TXBK.

Write exercises 1-4 on pp. 204-206 in your SAM. Turn in during class.

On p. 370 read about the poet Marina Tsvetaeva. She lived in the early years of the Soviet Union when great hopes, expectations, and dreams were eventually dashed for may intellectuals. Do you understand what the last sentence of her biography says?
The film Ирония судьбы (1975) has become a classic and is shown every New Year’s. Recently a follow-up to the story entitled Ирония судьбы ... продолжение (2007) was made. You’ve got to see both!
In the original film there is a song based on Marina Tsevtaeva’s poem “Мне нравится, что вы больны не мной”. It was performed by Алла Пугачёва, a pop star for many years.
Here is the song from the 1975 film: Мне нравится.
