    This mind-boggling conundrum baffles many oustanding scientists. - ok? Does this sentence sound ok or not (given that I need to use advanced vocabulary)?

    like clockwise - exists? Hi! At BBC learning English I run into a phrase "to do sth like clockwise" = regularly. I go to the gym like clockwise. However, I didn't manage to find it anywhere in the dictionaries. Does it really exist? Thanks!

    Doctors vs patients Firstly, both texts mention that the difficulty in communication between doctors and patients really exists. Being extremelly busy with the loads of work doctors tend to think of patients as of the intrusion into hospital efficiency. However, patients feel that doctors ignore them and their opinion. Moreover, doctors feel that patients expect them to give an impression of control which can often be illusory.

    Русский Ковчег

    Вчера вечером, я начал посмотреть <em>(that means started to watch, but didn't finish. If you want to say that you watched it till the end, you should say я посмотрел)</em> фильм Александерра Сокурова "Русский Ковчег," один из самых извбестных фильмов в Россиий. Не знал до посмотрев "Русский Ковчег", я увидел ещё раз До того, как посмотреть "Русский ковчег", я видел фильм Сокурова по имени "Фауст," <em>(in russian name = имя refers only to animate)</em> который было очень красивый и интересный, даже если я не понял всегох. Ну конечно "Русский Ковчег" тоже было красивый: фильм известный, потому что Сокуров сделал снял его "одним кадром" ё с одим кадр камеры. В этом годуе в Америкеий, было снят фильм "Бёрдмэн", который тоже изпользсовал технику "одного кадра" тоже один кадр камеры. Но в нем не затрагивается тема искусства у её неть искусства или тема "Ковчега", который использует 300 лет роусскийской истории по сюжету. Сюжеть не трудной на понять понимать а, как <em>"Фауст", не можно сказать, сюжеть всех (I don't really understand what you wanted to say).</em> В Фильме, мы следуем за человеком через Зиемний Дворец, и слышим, разговор с рассказчиком (сам Сокуров себе) обпо искусствеу и историию. Я уже сказал, что не закончил посмотреть фильм, так как я почти ничего не знал много о нем по её. Ну, я хочу переходить досмотреть вечером еэтот фильм: фильм, в которомй ничего не случается, не скучный, интригующий.

     

    The repeated mistake here that in Russian "movie" is masculine. So you should use proper pronouns.

    Moreover, you have some structures that are typical for English, but aren't used in Russian. Like "I didn't know much about it" - Russians would say Я почти ничего не знал о нем, but would never say Я не знал много о нем. 

    On the whole you've done good! Keep writing!

    Organising time To tell the truth, I'm not very good at organising my time. I don't have an each day plan scheduled hour by hour and I don't have my goals written neither short- nor long-term. I know that's bad and that's decreases my efficiency in life. However, somehow I manage to do everything I must and want. Maybe I don't handle everything with aplomb but more or less I'm good. Sometimes it's a close call and all about deadlines but I still finish on time. I suppose that the only time-management scheme that works is a Tomato one, when you set your timer for 30 minutes and work on a project without any pauses. Then you have break and then again 30 minutes of work. Hope one day I will stop procrastinating and loosing time. It is the only really valuable resourse that can't be renewed.

    I guess that's just because many people WANT to learn language, but a few really do sth. Those who want just register, write to several people and disappear. Then in a few month they come again to write Hi to someone. And disappear again.

    You are wrong about Russian. The problem is that Russian has a lot of different swear words. They have a great amount of meanings and we have lot's of anecdotes connecting with that. You can use only 1 root to create the whole phrase and Russians will understand you. The most famous is "Нахуя дохуя нахуячил? Расхуячивай обратно!" Which means sth like "Why did you put here so many of these things? Put it back." But English in this case is very poor, or better to say succinct. The only word "fucking" is used to say anything. It happens so because Russian language creates the words with the usage of suffixes and prefixes. For example in the sentence above we add 4 different prefixes (let alone suffixes) and create 4 words with different meaning. Here was a discussion not so long ago about the word заебись which can mean several attitudes to the problem - from good to bad, but Google translate can't understand these verbal niceties. That's why all rich Russian swear vocabulary magically turns into the fucking only.

    Hope this helps!)

    Then I guess that I should have know if Wilfred Thesinge is a real person or not. If he is, I use "legendary", if he is not a real person, I use "fabled".
