My first English tutor When I was in a middle school, I had only one 40 minutes lesson of English every week. My parents thought it isn’t enough and hired a private tutor. Let’s call him Boris. Boris was a plump, middle aged guy. He had dark hair, think eyebrows which almost formed a unibrow. He locked like a someone from Georgia, Armenia, or Azerbaijan, although, he didn’t have an accent. He wore a brown suit, always the same. To split the cost, my mom arranged it for two people, me and my school classmate, Eugene. The tutor would come to my parent’s apartment and stay for 1.5 hours. After the lesson, Eugene and I played some kind of soccer with a small ball. I can believe my parents allowed it. We could easily crack windows or break TV. Our neighbours below us were apparently were patient people. They had never complained about the noise. I can't remember anything he taught us except one thing: how to say current time. 3:30 am would become “half past three O’clock”, and 3:45 would become “quoter to four O’clock”. I’m yet to find a person in North America who speaks like this. First part: http://www.italki.com/entry/383534
