First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I live in Minsk.  Do you don't believe that I learnt English since 1960?  For more than fifty years now and I have shown no progress. in it Why? I don't know.

My daugher and my granddaughter live have been living in the USA for two years and I am going to visit them. and I want to improve my English so that I could speak with Americans.
I love American like them for these people work very hard and have good salary salaries.

Except for minor mistakes here and there, you write well.  I believe your lack of progress is due to having the chance to speak the language.  Once you are here in the US, you will have plenty of chances.  Don't be envious of us and having good salaries.  This is because Uncle Sam taxes us too heavily and so we have to work even harder and command a higher salary to put bread (in my case rice) on the table!
