Profile
I'm a native English speaker from the west coast. I recently finished a bachelors degree in Russian language and literature and have spent some time studying in St. Petersburg. I have worked in ESL classrooms here in the United States and am able to help with grammar, conversation, reading and speaking. I'm hoping to work on my conversation skills in Russian as well as help people with their English. Topics I enjoy are philosophy, history and literature.

    Lord Of The Rings - retelling of chapter 1

    This is my retelling of a part of the chapter from Lord Of The Rings. The first chapter is called "A long-expected party" and describes the celebration of Bilbo Baggins 111th birthday 111 years old.

    The first part center  focuses on the preparations, errands and invitation letters.
    And the next part is dedicated to the celebration itself.

    There was a large tent built set up in the middle of the field. It was so enormous that it was placed over a tree and completely covered it. Lots of flags were unfurled.

    When the party had began Gandalf started to make light fireworks. There were plenty of them and all of a them were different kind: scintillating, loud, and sparkling. They all were superb. And finally there was a rocket which resembled the dragon that had been defeated by Bilbo in his previous adventure.

    After the show the time passed came for Bilbo to make deliver a speech. Bilbo got on the stage and started by greeting of  his relatives and the other guests. Everyone expected a short introduction but it lasted too long and some phrases were too difficult to understand (because hobbits were quite simple and straightforward people and at that precise moment they were slightly drunk ))) )

    Eventually he made an accent (or an announcement) that it was "the end". He stepped down and put on the magic ring which he held had been holding in his pocket all this the entire time and disappeared.

    Everyone was shook shocked (surprised, shaken up) and kept silence remained silent for a while. And than all of them began to talk at once discussing this miracle.

    When  invisible Bilbo got home and took off his ring he become visible again and was met  confronted by Gandalf. They held a talk talked for a bit, said good-bye to each other and Bilbo set off to his last journey to the town of elves where he wanted to finish writing his book.

    CAE competition entry

    Let me show you the world in though my eyes (Let me show you the world from my perspective)
    It is well known that over the last few decades our visual perception has undergone underwent through global and drastic changes. Boring texts have given place to been replaced by colourful pictures, so nowadays a photographer  photography is one of the most popular and desirable professions. Many people are trying to find their niche in this sphere but only a few of them are capable of turning their lifelong passion into a livelihood and achieving achieve fame and fortune. However, I have high hopes that I will fulfill my secret ambition in spite of any daunting challenges.
    So what does it take to become a professional photographer? Firstly, there is no place room for poor a lack of motivation. All efficient photographers are really bitten by the bug and they never stop taking frames pictures and analyzing thoroughly their material thoroughly. My laptop is stacked filled with photos and from time to time I look through them aimed at coming hoping to come across an unnoticed masterpiece.
    Secondly, being a photographer requires a lot of imagination in abundance in order to stand out from the crowd. Don´t be afraid of coming up with fresh and even absurd ideas because they might well facilitate the development of developing your personal style. I’ve always aimed to produce original and imaginative material and some of the pictures have been already been approved by many professional photographers.
    There is no doubt that a picture is worth a thousand words, but even with a reliable equipment it is no easy task to turn out produce a good quality photo just by spraying and praying. However, with imagination and determination, and the help of an expert, who could possibly fail to realize their ambition?

    "It's not worth the hassle," and "it's not worth the trouble" make perfect sense. However, "Don't be sad about it" feels a little bit strange. "Don't worry about it" or simply "Don't be sad," would be better.. I think it largely depends on the context.

    How i decided (past tense) to learn english

    I always like to travel in other countries but i fell what I find it hard to talk in English (Мне не понятно). Once, in Prague, i wanted buy a sim card with unlimited internet. The shop assistant could speak Englis bit (but) i couldn't explain to her what i would like. It was both sad and funny because I was not able to solve the simplest problem.

    Немного о себе. Друг, который изучает испанский язык, рассказал мне о этом сайте и я думал, что я должен пробовать его. Я учусь на третьом курсе и летом я поеду в Россию. Если я принимаю визу, я буду учиться в петербургском государственном университете. Я люблю рассказывать о литературе, философие, музыке и политике. Сейчас я читаю роман Долватова, называющийся Иностранка. Мне нравится запоминать поэзию в свободное время. Мой любимый поэт - Баратынский. Я могу учить английской граматике но я могу разговаривать по-английски о всём. В отношении русского языка, я просто хочу разговаривать больше. Ну, давайте говорим!
