Saint Petersburg and aArt

    In Saint Petersburg, there are a lot of opportunities of to spending one’s free time, as there are a lot of theatres, museums, cinemas, art galleries, and etc. When I have had some free time I choose  chose one of them for visiting a place to visit. Recently, I went to a museum of modern art, Erarta, and saw exhibits and paintsings by Sergey Shnurov. Shnurov is an artist and musician. He plays in music group (band) called Leningrad, but he also paints and creates interesting exhibits in the spirit of brand realism style of "brand realism". I think he’s a the pioneer of this style.

    The State Hermitage Museum is a very interesting place. Here you can look at countless exhibits. The Bbuilding of the museum is a huge, so you have to spend very much a lot of time for looking all things of it to look at all the things, but it's worth it.

My notes

1st paragraph:

        When you make a list of things you can end it with , etc. or and _________.

                For example: a car, a house, a boat, etc. or A car, a house, and a boat.

        Past tense: I have -> I had, I choose -> I chose, 

        Music groups= bands

2nd Paragraph: Say a lot instead of very much, to talk about a big number of things. A lot= a (big) number

        For example: I will spend a lot of time. They have a lot of things. 

        For looking--> to look 

Seven things you don't know about me

1. The start off with, when I was a kid I loved sheeps so much that I wanted to would have become that animal one. Sometimes, when my mother asked me what I wanted for dinner, I emulated a sheep by saying it's verse “I want some bread”!
2. Second on my list concerns the song I listen to a specific song use to listening to before an exam. It’s called “Butterflies and Hurricanes,” and it talks about how strength each person can come out from inside . It motivates me to commit as much as I can.
3. It’s not what you’d call a big secret, but I love olives. I also looked for a course concerning on olives tasting, but it doesn’t exist yet. At one time, a boy gave an  jar of olive  olive jar to me, trying to find a way into my heart, he didn’t.
4. If I wasn’t so scared about blood, I would have been a doctor, specifically a gynecologist. The anatomy of our body fascinates me, but I don’t have the courage to operate on a person.
5. My favourite film is “Inception”, by Christopher Nolan. I like the plot and psychological movie genre the most above all. Furthermore, Leonardo Di Caprio is one of my favourite actor, he always manages to get into character extremely well.
6. A few close friends know that my sister and I usually write some funny and foolish  silly songs, she sings while I play the piano. Our last song is called “Torta all’acqua”, it talks about people who become vegan because they want to lose weight.
7. Last but not least, I can crochet. Now I don’t have much time, but when I was 10, I created earrings, bracelet, a doily and so on.

*I love your list, very entertaining!*

My day

Several days ago my friend invited me to her English class and I accepted it  the invite.But, today I got close to forgetting we were going it without her call to remind me .Unfortunatedly Unfortunately ,I had to go there alone because she had already left for it the class.She told me I must arrive there before 6:30pm.However,because I am a person who always lose my way always get lost,it has been was 7pm when I arrived there.My friend and her teacher were both angry with me because I was late and did not show up on time.I was in great sorrow  very upset !It seemed like I did it on purpose.(Today is my first day to come on italki here. I don't know what I can write here so I am just telling my story.I would appreciate it if you can give me some advice about how to improve my spoken and written English.Thanks a lot!)

My notes: Mainly, instead of saying "it" and "here", be more specific about what noun you are talking about. For example "Several days ago my friend invited me to her English class and I accepted it," when you say "accepted it", you could mean you accepted the invite, or accepted the english class (even though that doesn't make sense). So I would replace it, with the noun you are talking about specifically, like I already left for the class. I hope this helps.
