- There was a time when I left my notebook entries on italki almost daily. Since then the site has changed a lot and I myself have changed either. The funniest memory about those entries that I have is my anger that flared up when editors contradicted each other. But overall, I believe, my entries helped me a lot back then. What if I give it another try? Will I still find it beneficial? I'm not happy with my English at the moment. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut, but I'm not sure that repeating previous exercises and practices might be helpful. I think you're aware of the plateau effect. You do things that you did long before, you habitually read, speak and listen to the same sources... But your confidence has gone, your satisfaction with what you're doing has gone and suddenly you realize that you use the same words and expressions while speaking that you used to say ages ago. This is a pretty dark moment, frustrating and demotivating. So I'm looking for some challenges and practices that could lift my spirit. Be my therapist, first correct this newly born entry, and secondly suggest something I can do to leave the plateau :-) Thank you!March 26, 202530
- 1) Not only will you not be able to speak English fluently in a year, but after five years of studying you will still be making mistakes. 2) Not only did you insult her, but you didn’t even notice it right away. 3) Not only do you speak correctly, but your pronunciation is also good. 4) Not only did we come to the party, but we also brought a lot of alcohol with us. 5) Not only we came to the party, but also some of our friends. 6) Not only did you forget to call me at 2p.m., but you didn’t even call me later. 7) Not only will you be late if you linger, but you will also let your friends down. 8) Not only do you have the relevant skills and qualifications, but you seem to be better than other applicants. 9) Not only will you find me at work, but you will also see a few of my coworkers. 10) Not only did you eat all the food, but you also didn’t buy anything in return.January 2, 202400
- You need to take some concomitant medications going through this therapy. Check with your doctor if you’re allowed to take them. 2) Many world-renowned singers held their concerts on this arena, namely Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Elton John and some others. 3) The local hunters typically use raw meat to entice martens and sables into their traps. And when animals get into the trap, they get killed by it almost immediately. 4) Diplomats are usually well-trained people in terms of sidestepping obstacles and pitfalls. Their job is to reach the goal with minimum compromises. 5) In “Romeo and Juliet” Shakespeare pictures a feud between two families and the irrationality of it that kills love. 6) When it’s hot outside and the temperature reaches + 30 degree Celsius, I stay home and wallow with my tablet watching YouTube and slacking off. 7) Someone could eavesdrop your conversation yesterday. Most likely, it could be his secretary. 8) John was wary this time, because recently a thief stole his wallet on the subway. So he cautiously looked around trying to make sure that nobody intended to do it again. 9) Local landlords and tenants often fight when the former try to evict the latter because the latter don’t agree to rental payment increase.0 votedAugust 28, 20230

- 1) Anna isn’t at work, she’s down with covid and is staying home. 2) We might be in for a fining if we don’t pay our electricity bills. 3) I was into music when I was a teen, but then I chose theater instead. 4) Sally got into chess playing because her father won a regional championship twenty years ago. 5) The weather has been keeing me in, but I really hope for tomorrow’s improvement the forecast promises. 6) The performance was made up of dancing and colorful lighting which produced an astonishing effect. 7) Sergei is off of drinking strong alcohol for three months, but he still drinks beer. 8) My brother was off today, so we went fishing and spent a very good time together. 9) The bread is off, it’s stale and mouldy. Take these pancakes I made in the morning instead. 10) What’s on the radio tonight? There might be one of the Rachmaninoff’s piano concerts as this is his 150th birthday anniversary.April 3, 202330
