The fictitious story. One of my friends works in one big local company. In the city where he lives it's the most popular place for applying for job. He was second in line for promotion. The first was his friend. My friend had been waiting for thar promotion for 15 years and he thought that he deserved it more than his friend. Once he came up with an idea to invite the boss for dinner thinking that it would help him to get the promotion and maped out the plan how all should be going. For that reason he kept his cards close to his chest and didn't tell anybody about his detaile plan. After that although he had dinner with the boss he didn't get that promotion and he felt sorry about trying to deceive friend getting him around (?). He decided came clean about what he had done and after that quit that job and tried to go it along. I made an attempt to make up a story about a person just for practising vocablulary and my spelling. Please check my note!

Do you know that the laughter could kill you? I am used to listening to 6 minutes English on BBC learning English as a source of new vocaburary and authentic listening practice. The last topic on that website was about laughter and how it may kill you. The explanation for this assumption ( quess ? ) was made by neuroscientist. She/he said that the diaphragm when we are laughing squeze the air out from our lung and it does not want to let us breath in. Also ( as well) I had learned british expression like 'to laugh your head off' that means laugh very loudly for a long time. There also the word 'guffaw' that means loud laugh and the opposite of that is chuckle. On the other hand the laughing could be as a natural painkiller because when someone is laughing the body release hormones which reduce pain feeling. I tend to believe in that theory that the laugh help us to reduce the stress and the pain and it is good for us. Please, check my note!

How long do I need to forget English ? I have been learning Englisn for 6 month when I was trying to improve my speaking, reading, listening skills. Three months passed after I had returned to Russia. Althoug I feel that my listening abillity doesn't change so much, my speaking skill is like I am stumped every time as I am making attempt to say the most simple frase. I have friend who has Russian as a second language she need 15 minutes to get flyently in Rissian. Maybe it depens on intelegence or it is just matter of time what we spend on learning and practice. Please, check my note and make corrections!

My thoughts and worries. I have been learning English for 4 months in North Carolina, USA. I took English class in Wake Tech College. Learning English in that college is absolutely free. I have paid northing for that! The teachers are so friendly and patient. They have spent a lot of time trying to make us stay interested in the process of learning. In the another hand I have met people from different countries (Vietnam, Brazil, Venezuela, China, Togo, Honduras, Poland, India) who occurred so nice to work with. They've become my friends. If someone wants to learn English in the USE to find out about the course of English in Wake Tech. It was very helpful, I think, for all students who had that privilege of learning there. You need northing to be admitted in the course, just pass a test to find out your level. I recommend this! Although the class has finished I continue learning English by myself and ask you, please, correct my note. I was checking my page on VK. ( this is Russian social network) and I encountered one post that said that the president of Austria goes to work without any security just with other people by walking on the street. This is amazing! I don't know it is true or false. Although if it was the true it would be as it should be! At this time I am upset about the condition of agriculture all over the World. The present methods of growing plants and feeding animals kill a soil. It is going to die at all, maybe our generation will be able to live without shortage of food but the next can be in very dangerous situation.

The difficulties in learning English. People are used to saying that English is more simple language to learn. I don't know if it is true, but while I am learning English I get some difficulties in this process. The first one is abundance of synonims. The distinction of all these words is straightforward for native spiker but it is rocket science for learners. ( but maybe it refers only to me). The second is pronunciation. It is always impossible to pronounce a word correctly by using the rules. You should listen to a word first. The third is diversity of English's accents. The last difficulty is the different between formal and informal speech ( but it refers to a lot of exiting synonims). At school they usually teach us that there are constructions: there is, there are, there was and there were, but how I had understood when I was learning English there are else: there will be, there would be and there is going to be. Is it alright to call them forms of further tense of there is and there are? Please, make corrections in my note. I will appreciate to you for this.

Does it make sense? Using the phones help us to keep in touch with our family and friends. When I travel to another country I try to stay in touch with my family. Or I try to stay in touch with my family traveling to another country. Silvia falls for Jim she wants to get in touch with him around the clock. I have lost touch with Jo. I have not been seeing him since January. I am looking forward to meeting the kids who were adopted by my mother. Please, make corrections!
