- I live in the UK, so speak with a British accent, but there are often more American resources. Most movies and famous TV shows are american, so if you enjoy watching those and think you'll use them, you'll pick up an american accent easier, but if you watch a lot of British films/TV, British will probably be easier. You'll also find it easier if you're using american lesson books and learning resources to learn an american accent and spelling, but if your using British resources, then you'll probably find it easier to use a British accent and spelling. You'll also be influenced by your friends and teachers' accents when speaking English with them. Hope this helps.0 votedJanuary 4, 20181
- They both mean the same thing. Both phrases are about revenge. For example, if someone has hurt you, by hurting them back, you would be getting your own back or getting even. The only difference is in sport. In sport 'getting even' can mean a losing team scores to tie points with the other team, however 'getting your own back' in sport would usually refer to a player fouling against another who has previously caused foul play. I hope this helps.0 votedJanuary 2, 20181
A Horse and A Donkey
A donkey and a horse were good friends, but they had different dreams for their lives.
One day, they had a conversation about their life.
Horse: I want to travel around the world, would you like to go with me?
Donkey:” No, I wouldn’t. I would prefer to stay there and enjoy my life”.
Horse:” Ok, I will go alone.”
A few years later, the horse came back to see his old friend.
Horse:”How was your life for those years that I traveled”.
Donkey:” it sucked, I have walked as much as you, everyday, I was whipped and forced to pull the mill here”.
Horse:” My life was pretty awesome, I have traveled many places and seen different people and cultures”.
The horse and the donkey both have walked for a few years. The only difference between them that the horse was pushed by his own desire, and the donkey was driven by someone else.
I wrote this story for our parents, if you want your children have a happy life, please let them make their own choices rather than coercing them to fulfill your dreams.0 votedMay 27, 20170Bills
I took a cold shower, using water from the well in my garden. After I warmed up a bit of milk, and I made a coffee on a camping stove. My sister gave me that, she loves trekking and she is super equipped.
Finally I went out to buy candles. I'm studying at night and I need the light for many the late hours.
No, I do not live in jail, I just forgot to pay the bills.0 votedNovember 17, 20161Scream Queens
«Don’t close your eyes, don’t fall asleep
Please say your prayers, leave the devil to me…»
If you know these blood-chilling lines you watch this TV serial. And do you like it? For me it’s one of the best contemporary shows produced by Ryan Murphy. It can be characterized as a horror-comedy with detective elements and lots of black humor. But I wouldn’t like to describe the plot of «Scream Queens» - I’d like to tell you what could be interesting for the public in it.
First of all, there are many classic horror clichés used in this serial but it’s a plus. The gorgeous creator’s humor gives them a new life. In fact, practically all heroes are bad (stupid, sneaky, nasty or all together) and this is so funny, too.
Then, there is an atmosphere of 90s: iconic songs of those years, urban legends, student societies with violent tempers, «Truth or Dare» and some other symbols of mass media culture of last century. I love it so much!
And in the end: despite all of the above it’s absolutely a 21st-century product! Today a murderer doesn't call you – he sends you an iMessage. Today, first of all, you tell your followers in social networks what’s happening and only after that trying to save your life. It sounds crazy but it’s true!
Of course, «Scream Queens» is a big parody of modern life and horror movies culture and it’s not necessary to take it seriously. But if you need something new – it’s an excellent variant.0 votedOctober 18, 20161- Musik Heute ich werde Musik schreiben, weil Musik sehr wichtig zu mir ist. Meine Eltern haben im Musikakademie getroffen. Meine Mutter spielt die Blasinstrumente und mein Vater spielt die Blechinstrumente aber ich liebe die Streichinstrumente. Ich spiele die Geige, die Bratsche, die Gitarre, die Ukulele, das Banjo und auch die Flöte und das Klavier. Meine Mutter lehrt mir die Flöte und mein Vater hat mir die Trompete gelehrt, aber es war nicht für mich. Ich lehre Musik auch. Ich lehre die Gitarre und die Geige. Ich habe die Gitarre für elf Jahre gespielt aber mein erstes Instrument war die Geige. Ich habe die Geige für siebzehn Jahre gespielt. Ich liebe Musik hören auch. Ich höre allerhand Musik aber meine Lieblingsmusik ist der Folk. Das ist es für Heute. Ich muss mein Ukulele Klasse lehren. Tschüss!October 18, 201600
WORK AND TRAVEL
Next year I'm going to do a work and travel program and I need some help from native speakers in order to be prepared to do it well.
Some questions are, for example
Why do you want to do this Work and Travel program?
-I've never been abroad, so I find this a great opportunity to do that, to know different cultures and people all over the world. I want to improve my English as much as I can and I want to fly by plane. It'll be my first time in a plane, so I'm very excited.
-What are yours skills?
Well I'm a responsible person, I've lived alone since I started to study five years ago. I love challenges and I think this is one of the biggest challenges of my life. However I feel I'm ready. Also I'm good at talking to people.
-What do you do in your freetime?
I spend a lot of time practicing my English, reading articles, watching movies, series and videos in English. I also play the guitar and the piano, I learn by myself on the internet.
If someone can help me with some tips or give me some personal answers to compare I'll be very grateful0 votedSeptember 25, 20161
