Hello, I am looking for an English - speaking partner. I'm expecting that my speaking partner will be a native speaker who learns Russian or no less then B2 level. I want to improve my English skills. I like reading, painting with numbers, watching films. I prefer detective stories, and my favourite author is Agatha Christie. I also like "Harry Potter" films and books by J.K. Rowling. I have children, and I'm a housewife, but I want to be an English teacher.

Today we had a free conversation class. It was nice to talk about certain difficulties Darya finds in the language and also about her passion for learning. See you next class Darya.

It was a real pleasure to meet Darya today. We introduced ourselves and talked about how the classes work. I really look forward to the opportunity of teaching Darya again.

Daria has underestimated her lesson, in my opinion. I can tell that she enjoys learning English and takes part in reading marathons which is great. She has a very wide passive knowledge which can be activated through regular speaking practise. Well done Daria and hope the rest of your reading marathon goes well. Thanks, Oliver.

    Thanks to everyone. I understand the idea. I was mistaken, while I was doing my test, because I didn't realise it's a passive voice

    Essay: We should blame TV for everything that is wrong with society. Some people think that we should blame TV for everything that is wrong with society. I don’t agree with it. Of course, TV may be harmful, but not for everything what is going on with our society. Below are some of my thoughts about it. First of all, I believe that everything starts from the family. The first model of behavior is always someone from your family. Mostly it’s your parents. TV may shows you some cartoons or bedtime stories while your parents are drunk, so how can we say that TV does something wrong with the children? On the other hand, even when TV shows something terrible or disgusting your parents still may teach how to be kind or responsive. Secondly, after your parents or family members there is a second circle of influence. It’s your friends and acquaintances, because your friends and classmates may teach you different things from how to take drugs to how to be friendly and easy-going. TV shows different content. It can be films about Harry Potter which teach us that friendship, loyalty and love are stronger than death or the same TV shows in some serials that life can be hard and violent. But still it just shows, nothing more. But I understand why people blame TV for everything wrong with our society. Some content on TV is really violent or harmful for children’s psyche. Children or teens may believe that killing people or stealing money may stay unpunished, because they see it in films or serials. They even may believe that our world is going to the hell, because all news is about wars and refugees and strikes and so on. However, I believe that it’s a question of responsibility. If you behave yourself, turn off TV when it shows something horrible and stay with kind and worthy people, you’ll feel no influence of TV on your life. To sum up, I think that you always have choices of what watching and believing in, so be responsible for your life and you never have to blame TV in your personal problems.

    Essay: there are always some hobbies that seem to stay with humanity forever Some people believe that there are always some hobbies that seem to stay with humanity forever. I totally agree with it. There are some of my ideas about it. One of my favourite hobbies is painting. I paint very badly, so I’ve chosen painting with numbers. To my mind, painting is an amazing hobby in many ways. First of all, it’s creativity. You create some things in your head and then make them real. You can be a real artist and use different materials like clay or crayons and paper, but still even if you are like me, a person, who paints very badly, you’ll be relaxed and calm after few hours of painting. I also like painting with numbers, because it’s easier and you have a better result after some hours of drawing. The second hobby I like is doing jigsaw puzzles. I think that solving crosswords is a kind of puzzle. I mean that people always like solving mysteries and everything which makes their brain work. My favourite hobbies of that sort are jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, Einstein’s riddles. The third type of hobby is sport. I can’t imagine people, who never try sports in their lives. Even me who are a very lazy person do morning exercise sometimes. There are so many hobbies for every taste; collecting coins or making models, reading books or sing songs and play musical instrument. I can’t find any reasons why people may refuse from such hobbies. May be it’s money or time, because you have to work a lot and sometimes hobby may be very busy. Besides, every hobby takes your money, because even for buying dyes you need money. But I still can’t imagine life without hobbies. If you have a busy week at work or some arguments with your family member, life will become easier and lighter when you spend some time doing what makes you happy. Finally, I think that such hobbies like music, painting, sport are always with humanity.

    An informal letter to Pippa, who is going to bake a chocolate cake. Dear Pippa, I was so glad to get your letter again. Your news was so interesting to me. Well, my smartphone is quite usual. I don’t understand why people spend so much money on brandy things. It does enough things for me. I downloaded whatsup for sending messages for free. I almost don’t play games with my mobile. There are only a few apps for workout and some helpful apps for learning. Of course, I have apps for social networks and three game apps. That’s all I need from my smartphone. Let’s talk about you. Why did you choose this recipe? What ingredients do you need for your recipe? Where did you get it? I have to go now and I hope to hear from you soon. Love, Dasha

    An informal letter to Angela, who likes fashion and celebrities Dear Angela, I was so glad to get your letter and again your news was so interesting for me. Actually I’m not keen on fashion. I have some dresses for going out, but they’re quite classical. As about cold Russian winters, it depends on a region, which warm clothes is better to wear. So I prefer warm jackets, but I live in Saint Petersburg which is near the Finnish gulf. Besides, I don’t wear fur. However you have to wear something really warm in Siberia. And it’s a case when to be warm is more important than to be fashionable. I like shopping online, but because I’m not a model size I have to spend time shopping in real shops to find something interesting and suitable in my size. By the way, who are your favorite celebrities? Are they singers or actors? What are your favourite songs or films by them? I have to go now, and I’ll wait to hear from you soon. Lots of love, Dasha

    Some people say that learning more than one foreign language is a waste of time. Some people say that learning more than one foreign language is a waste of time. But I strongly disagree. I absolutely believe that learning languages is never a waste of time. These are some reasons for it. First of all, learning foreign language is always good and useful for every person. It makes our brain stronger, also it improves our memory skills. So, the more you learn, the smarter you become. Secondly, if you want to understand people from other countries, one of the best ways is learning languages they speak. During my life I have learned two different languages: German and English. It was not only difficult, but also very interesting. I knew a lot about culture and traditions of the German and the English. I read about history of these countries, their outstanding people. I think that is never can be called a waste of time. It even changed the way of my mind thinking. I started thinking more creatively and widely. The only reason I could imagine why some people may call learning more than one languages a waste of time is they don’t need any necessaries in other languages, except for English. Of course, English is an international language, which is used almost everywhere, but I still don’t understand people who don’t want to know more than one language, because in my opinion they refuse from such a treasure and do it willingly. I understand that people sometimes don’t have enough time, because of families and work duties, but when they call learning languages a waste of time, I think it’s ridiculous. At the end I’d like to say, that learning more than one foreign language improves your educational skills, helps you in your career path, grow up your self-esteem, so how it can be just a waste of time? I think it’s impossible.

    Informal letter to Alan, who has a chemistry experiment Dear Alan, I was so glad to hear from you again. Thanks a lot for your letter. It was very interesting for me. So, as for me, I don’t know how I feel about adventure travel, because I’m not sure I really understand the meaning of the expression. But I can tell you about my best summer holidays. It was in 2011, when I went to Cyprus. It was my honeymoon. I swim a lot, and went to the greatest aqua park I’ve ever seen. It also was the first time I saw the sea. By the way, you wrote me about your chemistry experiment. What was the purpose of the experiment? Was it difficult? Was it interesting for you? I have to go now, but I hope to hear from you soon. Love, Dasha
