My Diary on April 11, 2015

Saturday, April 11th, 2015
Sunny

Tonight I went to a big grocery shop with mom. We took a walk there which took us about 20 minutes, then bought a lot of tasty food. It was really a happy night. Although shopping is a small thing, it is not as important as your work and it will not cost you too much time either. Every time I go to a shopping mall to buy something I need, I can get a sense of happiness. So when my mom and I came out of the shopping mall, we were tired but happy.

It was an ordinary night, but it was also a lovely night.

Goodbye Saturday, and Good Night. :）

John Lennon's love for Yoko.

I'm a huge "fan" of The Beatles. Accordingly I became a big fan of John Lennon after The Beatles disbanded and everyone pursued their solo careers. I like most of his songs and political lyrics which I find pretty interesting. I also don't believe that he was killed by a fan. If this was the case then it makes me wonder where the heck are the Justin Bieber fans ? Hahah nah just kidding there is "music" for everyone. But I'm not here to talk about his political murder.

I would like to focus on his love for Yoko, some people hate her and say she was the witch who made The Beatles disbanding. But who knows? To me everything has an end and that's what happened. I personally like the way Lennon showed his feelings and talked about it. He was in love with the way she thought and made him feel. I'm saying this because if we stop and compare "Cynthia Powell and Yoko", I'm sure that you all would choose Cynthia for her incrideble physical beauty at that time. Of course, now she is gone.

So, I could say that Lennon's love went beyond of a pretty face and a perfect body, that's all that matters. I very much like the way he thought and I try to put some of his thoughts in practice.
So give your girl, boy or lover a hug and tell them how much they mean to you every singe day.

Hand shakes are for strangers.

How I learn English

I have been listening to lectures on coursera.org. Then the more I listen the more I can understand and hear the correct pronunciation. I try to write my own thoughts in a place like this :) Of course I have a lot of mistakes. But I think it is OK. If I don't try, I will never improve my English level. I use LingvoLeo for memorizing words and GoogleTranslate for translating words or sentences from Russian.
But I still can't find any cute systems for remembering English verb tenses. I know how verbs are formed as tenses in English, but I can't choose the correct form that relates to the situation.

I listen to a lecture - I do it every day
I listened to a lecture yesterday
I will listen to this lecture tomorrow (is it same with "I am going to listen to this lecture tomorrow" ?)
I am listening to a lecture - I am doing it right now
I have been listening to this lecture. I did it yesterday and I do it today. Is'n it?

If you have good way to remember when which form of verb must be used, please, let me know.

I also have a problem with prepositions. Tell me about your lessons which cover prepositions uses.
Thank you!

 

 

 

<em>Very good.</em>

<em>You used listen, listened and listening correctly in your examples. </em>

<em>You need to say *listen to* when you are listening to something specific like a lecture, or listening to music, or listening to a friend speak.</em>

Write a description of a product

Today I want to talk about my last purchase. I was waiting to buy this since I was a child,

it is one of my dreams and now, at last, it is mine.

I am talking about a car, specifically a Mercedes Benz C190, which began to be manufactured in 1985 until 1993,

and is one of the most representative cars of the brand.

I love this model for several reasons. The first is its appearance, it´s a very elegant car, usually only driven by gentlemen. The second is because this car is very comfortable for long trips, and the last one is the price. These days it is very cheap on the second hand market.

 

I pay for this 2000 pounds, and I really think that is my smartest purchase.
