Sherlock Holmes: some comments I'm reading books with my friend and we write some annotations each to other. But I'm beginning in English still. Therefore, I want to know how to improving my texts. It's below: Doctor Watson is thinking about how is good live with the Sherlock Holmes, a worker man, focused in your job (that he and we don’t know yet). He noted some stranger things about the man, and almost suspecting that he uses some narcotic, but the Doctor cannot believe in this idea, a man so worker and with a clear life like the SH? It’s crazy. In this time, I was very interested, I don’t know very well the SH still, but I didn’t believe that he uses narcotics with the information that we had about. The Doctor Watson also don’t know him still, so, your doctor and soldier instincts can be right and SH can being addicted to use something illegal. The SH is now the object of curiosity of Doctor Watson, and it’s the mine since began. Different of the BBC series, here the SH is most communicative and ask to John help already in the began. I still don’t know if will be like the series and I’m waiting to know! However, this second chapter is very interesting. Who man in the XIX century don’t know that the earth travelling around the sun? It’s a remarkable fact to Doctor and to me too. But It’s keeping interesting in the same time, the SH seems so smart. How’s it possible to forget this information? I’m anxious to know how you will write about this chapter where we discovery the correct occupation of SH. I write much and don’t give you the opportunity to comment too, so I will do different here and wait to your opinion about this. I watched the Russian movie about this beginning that you sent me. As I read the chapters before watch, I can understand the movie, although I have learned just a few new words.

Sherlock Holmes: some comments

I'm reading books with my friend and we write some annotations to one another.* But I am** beginning in English still. Therefore, I want to know how to improve my writing. It is below:

((Doctor Watson is thinking about how is good live with the Sherlock Holmes, a worker man, focused in your job (that he and we don’t know yet).??) He noted some strange things about the man, almost suspecting that he used some narcotic, but the Doctor refuses to believe it; a man so industrious and with a clear life like SH? It is a crazy thought. At this time, I was very curious. I did not known very well SH still, but I did not believe that he used narcotics with the information that we had so far. DW also did not know him yet, so, your/his doctor and soldier instincts can be right and SH can be addicted and use something illegal.

SH is now the object of curiosity of DW, (and it’s the mine since began.??) Differently to the BBC series, here in the book, SH is most communicative and asks DW for help from the very beginning. I still don’t know if it will be like this in the series and I am anxious to know!

However, this second chapter is very interesting. How is it that the man in the XIX century did not know that the earth travelled around the sun?*** It’s a remarkable fact to the Doctor and to me, too. But it is still interesting at the same time that SH seems so smart. How is it possible to forget this information?

I’m anxious to know how you will write about this chapter where we discover the true occupation of SH. I write much and don’t give you the opportunity to comment too, so I will do differently here and wait on your opinion about this.
I watched the Russian movie about the beginning that you sent me. As I read the chapters before I watched, I can understand the movie, although I have learned just a few new words.

*each to the other, or, one to the other, or, one to another.

**Generally, in a formal essay, one should avoid '' I'm, how's, don't, it's...'' and replace them with ''I am, how is, do not, it is...'' The contractions are alright for talking but discouraged in formal writing.

***if I understand you correctly?

Very well written!
