Rude Harry

‘“And it’s really none of your business,” – said Harry.” I’m reading now the first book about Harry Potter book titled “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone”. By the way, these rude words Harry were said to Hermoine. I have already read 49% of the book (I use an e-reader). but They still weren’t friends. still
I have read these books in Russian thee times. I think Harry and Ron seemed kinder in the Russian translation than in the English original.
Yet, I always thoughtwondered, why was food in J.K. Rowling’s books like not tasty? I understood, maybe our Russian translators couldn’t find relevant words in our language? Maybe we have another food habits than English people and especially English wizards? So in the original English book food is enough natural enough?

Awesome job. I love the Harry Potter books. The books are so cherished here that a lot of people have gotten Harry Potter tattoos. If you have time to respond I'd be interested to know what kind of words the Russian translators use to describe the food!  

What about my day today?

Yesterday I came back to my parent's home. It is a nice place in a wonderful surrounding of big amounts of verdure. Today I took the sun at the terrace. Cloudiness took turned to clearness. After being in a polluted city as Saint-petersburg is, there is it was a marvelous opportunity to become relaxed. After having a sunbath I drove to the lake with my father. I was swimming with the ducks, but and the water was enough quite cold. Nevertheless, I did it. And I hope I'll do it tomorrow. Time to enjoy the summer has just started. I'm going to take from this all!

Will you please correct my mistakes?
Thank you!

Really good! I don't think the last sentence ('I'm going to take from this all!') translates well in English, though. I don't understand its meaning completely

Essay #199 "Air we Breathe" 08.04.18

The last decades were marked with the high-paced development of manufacturing industries which has led to the drastic drop in quality of air. Many people consider this issue as a major problem of our era, which can provide make a drastic effect not only on people, but on all the life on earth. However, the question of who is responsible for resolving this problem still has no answer. Some people think that governments should make steps to resolve this issue, while others believe that we all should participate in this.

One of the points is that as people have managed to reach this level of air contamination by their mutual “efforts” it is possible to solve this environmental problem, also, by applying these mutual efforts. In many cases such problems can benefit even from small things, such as restricting use of cars for example. These little things cannot be controlled by governments and should be made by people themselves, thus they just have to use their common sense and ecological consciousness.

The next point is closely related to the first one. As governments cannot obliged  force people to be environmental-friendly and therefore laws and policies will have a very little effect on people’s behaviour, governments should promote environmentalist’s ideas through education. People should be taught about the repercussions of their activities and the dangers of ecological contamination. Despite the fact that this way cannot improve the situation in a short time, it will have a great beneficial effect in a distance.

Lastly, the shifting of responsibility on governments is a very a convenient but also faulty idea, one which creates a highly negative effect on social development and overall situation in a community. Thus, people should face the fact that not only are they responsible for the worsening of air quality, but also they have to put all their effort into the resolving this problem. Only by understanding all this can the positive result can be reached.

To conclude, a recent drop in the quality of our environment has been caused by people’s thoughtless activities. Thus, we are fully responsible for the situation we are facing right now, and we should not shift the responsibility on governments or various ecological organizations. Only by putting mutual efforts into resolving of this problem we will be able not only to stop this process, but also, eventually, will be able to and revive the ecology of the planet to its initial state of purity.

Good job. But I disagree. Yes we all need to work together but also the government needs to motivate and incentivize ecologically conscious behavior where they can

I saw lots of reviews about this book, so it should be the more rewarding one. ( or "so it should be a rewarding one")
Working as a teacher can be difficult but in on the whole, it's a rewarding job. (I don't know why "on the whole" and not "in whole" but it is correct, nobody says "in whole". Maybe "when considered in whole" if you want)

Reading club

I love to spend the time in reading. The last three books I read were in English, for learning purposes. It's funny, but it seems to me, that books, written in a foreign language, are engrossing you even more, than those in a native language, because of variations of meanings, which leads you to more deeper perception (you use your imagination more). Because native language words have definitely clear meaning in opposition to foreign words, where you might simply not know some words.
Maybe I am wrong, it's just my impression.
So, I'm happy to say that today I finished reading another book, which took enough my time (because of lots of new words), but it was interesting to me and finally, I bested it! Yes!

I don’t think anyone would ever say that
