It was great to see Helen again after a long break! There was much to discuss and catch up on that time unfortunately run out too quickly! I really enjoyed the conversation and hearing about all her moving adventures and beloved pets!

    Learning a language is my second nature at this point. First, I was learning English because it's the key-of-the-world language. Then, it was Spanish, because I always wanted to learn it. Now, the excitement of experiencing the world through a completely different way of thinking is something I don't think I could live without.

    Correct my sentences. Word-translate-example

    Remain - оставаться - I resolved to remain at home. 
    Receive - получать, принимать - She received a ticket to the theatre (на ангийском обычно уточняют, а не просто говорят "в театр", как что тут я бы сказала "She received a ticket to the play tonight).
    Request - запрашивать, просить - They requested a blanket for their room.
    Suffice - хватать, быть достаточным - Food stock will suffice for 2 days.
    Assemble - собирать, собираться - My daughter assemble to jump from the bridge. Assemble используется не в смысле "собираться с силами", а в смысле "собирать все нужное", поэтму Я бы предложила фразу "Му daughter assempled her backpack to head for school" 
    Resolve - разрешать, решать - Mary resolve me play with her dogs. Resolve означает решать в смысле "он решил найти работу" или "он решил свои проблемы", так что я бы предложила фразу "He resolved most of his problems this year"
    Prevent - предотвращать - The doctor prevents the disease. Prevent - это предотвращать  в смысле предтвращать до того, как что-то наступило, так что Я бы предложила "The vaccine prevents the dшsease".
    Operate - действовать - They operate so fast. Все верно!
    Perish - погибать - The soldier perished in the war.
    Vanish - исчезать - The spot vanished after washing. Все верно!

    Надеюсь. это помогло!

    A funny thing I used to believe

    When I was a child, I used to believe a funny thing. When I had a ride in my father's car which my father drove, I noticed that however much we moved, I could see the moon. I asked my father why the moon could be seen. My father answered that it's because the moon was following us. I believed that the moon was following us at that time. Do you have funny things you used to believe?


    Explanation: "could see the moon" and "the moon couldn't be seen" mean opposite things. If you mean that the moon was visible both times, then you shouldn't put "could" in a negative form

    Plus, the phrase "My father answered that because the moon was following us" sounds strange and means a different thing without "it's" or "that's" between "that" and "because". Without "it's" or "that's" the phrase means "My father answered that as a consequence of the moon was following us" which sounds as a strange unfinished phrase

    You may be sure means "you may be certain". I can explain it word by word: "You may be", as a form that allows you to do something or ensures you in doing it. "You may be sure" means that you are allowed to be sure, that there's no mistake in being sure. So, in the phrase "and she wasn't best pleased, you may be sure, when the prince told her that he was going to marry her stepdaughter..." it means "you can be certain that she wasn't best pleased when the prince told her that he was going to marry her stepdaughter ". Hoping to be clear, Helen

    Hello! I'd be glad to explain you the phrase. "nobody was more glad to see Pooh than he was, still there it was, some lived in trees and some lived underground" simply means "Rabbit was glad to see Pooh, but he didn't want him to stay in his house forever because they're just too different". Some parts that might need extra explanation: "still there it was" is an expression that means "still, it remained" or "the fact remained" or simply "but", explaining that NO MATTER how much the Rabbit liked Pooh, he didn't want him to stay. "some lived in trees and some underground" is an author's expression, meaning that the Rabbit and Pooh are different. Like the rabbit lived underground and the bear got on trees for honey, and that's two separate ways of living. Hope that made it all clear!
