3:09In Carpathas, among the narrow streets of Kyrgyzstan, it's already a little bit dirty. It's only a little bit dirty, and the Zemaraptom was preparing a surprise stop on a snowy mountain. Oksana and Dmytro were on the way. There was his room, under the roof of the carpets and trees. It was in their own way to sign the international Christmas Day. They planned to see the beautiful snowy mountains and fix it in the photo-objects of Oxana. Oxana, with a little understanding of the speed of the arrival, turned into a search for a perfect frame. It was given that the picture itself could change its life. In the subway, in the park, there was a mountain. He wanted it to be pre-made and planned.

4:12But his plans were not enough, the mountains were not enough for him. The wind was filled with cold, when the wind turned into the snowy mountains. The road was slippery and scary. Their old tent could not be filled with cold. The car was filled with cold. We need to wait, say in the subway, looking at the sky. Oxana wanted to go there. There, on the other hand, could be a place or a place of recognition of civilization. They were surprised, but Oxana had to go to the parade. They had to go to the forest, and they were slippery. They had to go to the old tent, on the other hand. There was a mountain, but they didn't want to go to the discussion. When you listen to the words of the subway, you think that I am not allowed to take the picture myself.

5:18Oxana tried to take the picture myself. The mountain in the corner was not as important as the mountains in their souls. And they did not come from there. There was no smoke. They understood that the conflict was over. We got rid of one parade. We are a team. We have to trust and help the subway. Later, they saw the road to the car. They did not give up on the road, but on the part of the parade. Oxana knew that the equipment and planning were important. In the subway, they knew that they had to leave the control. Once they got to the cemetery, they had to go to the forest and to the mountain. The carpets gave them a lot of photos, and they felt a bit of a difference.

6:20They continued to the road to the new place and to the faith. As soon as they started to go to the forest, they started to go to the forest. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. In the carpets, the dense forests and steep mountains, the scent of spring could already be felt. Just as the snow-drop blossomed, winter suddenly prepared its final surprise. Just as the snow drop blossomed, winter suddenly prepared its final surprise, an unexpected snowstorm. Oksana and Metro were on the road. Here they were hiding their river under the red carpet of the sea. Oksana and Demetro were on their way, fulfilling their dream of traveling through the

7:21carpety in March. This was their way to celebrate International Women's Day. They planned to witness the beauty of the snowy mountains and capture it through Oksana as camera lens. Oksana, with her inexplicable passion for adventure, was engrossed in the search for the perfect shot. She felt that this particular photo would change her life. Demetro on the other hand was cautious.

8:26He wanted everything to be anticipated and planned. But their plan was shattered, the storm caught them by surprise. The air was filled with cold as the wind swirled snow around them. The road became slippery and frightening. Their old lotter couldn't make it through the drift. The car came to a stop. We need to wait, said Demetro looking at the sky.

9:35Oksana, however, determined to forge ahead insisted. There might be a town or at least some sign of civilization somewhere ahead. They argued for a long time, but in the end, Oksana convinced Demetro to move forward. The frost numb their fingers and the snow blinded their eyes. Nonetheless, they came upon an old cabin by the roadside. It was warmer here, but their thoughts heated their discussion. You never listened to me, said Demetro, averting his gaze.

10:46Do you think I can't make decisions on my own? Asked Oksana. The storm outside seemed less important than the storm within their souls. Soon, however, the snow stopped. Silence settled in. They realized they had exaggerated the conflict. They apologized to each other. We are a team. We must trust and support each other, Demetro said. In the morning, they saw the road back to their car.

11:54The snow no longer seemed like an enemy, but a part of the adventure. Oksana now knew that caution and planning are important. Demetro realized that sometimes it's worth letting go of control. Together, they returned to the Lada, leaving behind both a physical and emotional storm. The carpety had given them more than just photos. They gained the ability to listen to and consider each other's feelings.

12:55They continued their journey with new confidence and trust. After all, Spring had just begun. Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
