Friends "Friends" is one of my favorite TV shows. I have been watching them for the second time and still laughing at the same jokes. This TV show is a great way to learn English and improve your listening skills. The language in this show is colloquial and not so hard to understand. At first, I watch an episode with subtitles, write down unknown words and learn them. Next, I watch the episode with the turned subtitles on. I have noticed that my listening skills became much better, moreover, my vocabulary has grown up.

Hi Denis,

This is very well written.  Just double check your tenses agree when you write your next notebook entry.  Because you have written 'At first' at the beginning of the sentence, the rest of the sentence needs to be in the past tense.  If you had written 'Firstly,' then you could have continued with the present tense.

A note about the use of 'moreover':  I find that many of my students use this often when they first start classes with me.  But in fact, we very rarely use the word in normal everyday British English.  What do we use instead?  We tend to use 'in fact' /'additionally'.
