Accidents Some events taking place in our life make us think that accidents are not actual accidents. As if somebody manages events and keeps the balance between good and bad, good and evil, bad luck and fortune. Somebody said: "Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." They say we can't be builders of our happiness. All events come from above. And the more you cling to fortune, the less chance for luck you have. But if you stop fighting for a minute, the fortune will fall into your hands. One day you are in the subway and suddenly you meet an old friend in this big megalopolis. For many years you haven't seen him. During the conversation you suddenly find out that he is as an expert in some area, which is important for your career. And that he can help you. What is it? An accident? Or you want to find your true love... You find somebody but you realize he is not you’re not meant to be together. And you understand it. But you keep dating him. Your relationship is struggle for you, you fight and put up, don’t get pleasure in sex, don’t have common interests, catch him cheating on you and constantly fill unhappy because you think that you can't have another man. But suddenly you receive an invitation to a party. You go there alone because your boyfriend never goes to parties with you, he has different interests. And suddenly there you meet HIM. He understands and respects you. He will love you for real. You change your life and leave your boyfriend for him. You live together for a long time and feel happy... Again an accident? Or you want to learn English but you don't know how and where. Accidentally you go to Life Journal where you haven’t been for a long time. And you see a new post from your friend. It says she has started learning English and that the lessons are very effective. You call her and learn all the information. Two days later you’re on your the first lesson! And four month later you are writing this work... :)

Is it correct to say Photo studio? Can I say "photo studio" to describe a special place where photographers shoot models? And how should I write it? photo studio or photostudio?

Need some help with Listening! :) I'm trying to understand what do they say in this video. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxjxfB4zNk Is this correct? My name is Vinnie Jones and I’m gonna teach you a lesson you’ll never forget. There are times in life when being tough comes in handy. Say, some guy has a collapse in front of you. What do you do? We need a volunteer that ain’t breathing. This one of my earlier. First thing you do is you check him over. If he ain’t responsive, or he ain’t breathing, or he is making noises like this, then his heart has stopped working and he’s having a cardiac arrest. Look alive! First call 999, then you do hands-only CPR, and no kissing. You only kiss your missies on the lips. Watch. Lock your fingers together, knock goes up. Then push down, right on the sovereign. Push down forward six centimeters that’s about two inches in an old manner. Push hard and fast about two times a second. Lot’s of the bit to staying alive. Worry to hurt him? Better cracked rips, than him kicking a bucket. Keep this up till the ambulance arrives. So never forget: check him over, call 999, push hard and fast at “staying alive”. It works. Hands-only CPR. It ain’t as hard as it looks. If you wanna come in handy in an emergency why not sign up for one of our HeartStart courses?

"The" or "a" ? I don't understand how to use articles in English. For exaple here: "I have two kids. A boy and a girl." If I already mentioned that I have kids, and it's clear what kids I'm talking about, than why do I use "a", not "the"?

keep going! Suddenly, it occurred to me that Life will always try to kick my ass, especially when I think it all goes perfect and I've got nothing to worry about. Funny thing, when I stand on the bus stop, waiting for a bus and am in amazing mood, I have to wait for like eternity, but when I am upset and it all goes wrong in my life I never wait for buses: as soon as I reach the bus stop the bus comes. Maybe this is the way Universe keeps harmony, I don't know. What I know for sure is that whenever you start doing something new, troubles and challenges always show up in order to keep us motivated and interested in the game. It always happens. So success you crave for mostly depends on whether you have guts to move forward or not. And if you do - your efforts will be rewarded. I believe that those people who have become successful failed many times in the beginning of their path, and they probably still do from time to time. The difference between those who succeed and the others is that they don't ever give up and don't care about what anyone else think. So since I'm going through some changes right now, I'm gonna keep these thoughts in my mind and won’t give up. In fact - I'm gonna challenge myself to keep going, to do what I'm scared of and to start over if needed. And whenever someone will tell me – “You’re not gonna make it”, my one and only answer will be “Watch me!”

my first note :) Hey guys! It's wintertime in Moscow, and I'm not a winter person at all! Don't get me wrong, I love snow, cozy sweaters and cute Chritmas stuff, but it's not all romantic here: This year the weather is not so much cold as slushy and snow turns into mud pretty fast, so it's ugly outside most of the time. I miss snowy winters! Sun rises at 10 a.m. and sets at 5 p.m. So I lack for sunny days and just daylight! Anyway, there's one thing that inspires me and helps me to stay positive - the fact that Sping is coming soon, I love Spring! It's my favorite time of the year when everything starts over, blossoms out and it smells incredible outside! I always feel like I have a brand new life and loads of new chances when Spring comes. Thinking about it helps me to get out of the bed in the morning and take a shower, do some exercises, eat something for breakfast and start a new day! Therewith, I consume supplements, eat as much fruits and berries as I can, stay awake all the light hours (to catch every sun beam I can) and listen to dynamic music in order to avoid depressive mood! I wish I could leave Moscow for winter time, travelling around the world or drinking cocktails on the beach...lol Well, maybe next winter. I'll do my best to make it real!
