WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF THE SEVEN DWARFS?


Doc (Tudor)
Considered the leader of the Seven Dwarfs, Doc is presumably the oldest. He wears glasses and oftentimes mixes up his words. His job in the Dwarfs' Mine is to check the authenticity of the many gems.






Grumpy (Morgó)
Grumpy is grumpy as his name suggests. He has the biggest nose of the seven and he automatically disapproves of Snow White for the mere fact that she is a woman. However, though initially too proud to show it, deep down he cares perhaps the most for her safety. He repeatedly warns her of the Wicked Queen and rushes to her aid upon hearing she is in danger.


Happy (Vidor)
Happy is the joyous dwarf. He is the fattest of the seven and is always laughing.


Sneezy (Hapci)
Sneezy sneezes almost all the time. He has the shortest beard of the seven (besides the beardless Dopey). The cause of his sneezes is an allergy to flowers.


Bashful (Szende)
Bashful is the shyest of the dwarfs. Whenever he begins to feel shy, his entire face turns bright red. Oftentimes he annoys Grumpy.


Sleepy (Szundi)
Sleepy is always tired with heavy eyelids. His job at the mine is to haul all the diamonds and rubies by cart to Doc for inspection. He also has the longest beard of the seven. Usually he's pestered by a fly.


Dopey (Kuka)
Dopey is the youngest dwarf, and therefore has no beard at all. He is mute, or at least the dwarfs don't know if he can talk since "he ain't never tried before". His job at the mine is to clean up all the unusable jewels and lock up the vault. He is always seen last in line whenever the dwarfs walk to and from work. Although he is scared at times, he can also be very brave especially when Snow White is in danger.

What makes a house a home?


There are many different kinds of homes that we live in. You can live in a flat, in an apartment, in a bungalow or in a house. But what makes them different?

Flat:


Sometimes living in a flat is a simple way to get on the property ladder when you are thinking about buying a home. Flats are often part of a larger building that has been separated in to smaller living spaces. The kitchen area is sometimes an open area shared with the living room and your flat will also have a bathroom and bedroom.

Appartement:



You may live in an apartment. An apartment is like a flat, but it is often part of a much bigger complex of buildings. Because apartments are often found in tall buildings you will have to use the lift or elevator to get to your home.

Bungalow:



A bungalow is a word given to a house that is on one ground floor level only, a bit like a chalet. A bungalow does not have any stairs, because all of the living area is on one floor. This usually means you will have a kitchen, bathroom, lounge or living room and bedrooms.  This kind of home is popular with older people because you don't have any stairs to climb when you go to bed.

House



A house is a property that is usually built on two or more floors. On the ground floor you will find the kitchen, the lounge and maybe dining room where you eat your meals. Upstairs you will find the bathrooms and bedrooms. In some larger houses you may also have a small toilet downstairs.  Also in a larger house you may find a garage where you can park your car or bike.

LET'S


A let’s kifejezés a let us rövid formája.

LET’S+ ige első alakja

Let's dance! - Táncoljunk!


Let's escape now! - Szökjünk meg most!

Van a let's-nek tagadó alakja is:


LET’S+ NOT + ige első alakja


Let's not talk about it any more! - Ne beszéljünk erről többet! 


Let's not go to work today! - Ne menjünk holnap dolgozni!
