Images of the past Pictures on historic themes play the key role in the art of Pre-Raphaelites. Traditionally British weren't interested in frantic heroic scenes and idealized classic compositions full of apatic naked models. They prefered to learn history by plays by Shakespeare and by novels by W.Scott, to learn bioghraphy of great men of the past in theatre images by prominent actors as Harrik and Sara Siddons. Pre-Raphaelites rejected classic history with incidental ideas of model goodness, military strength and monarch achievements. Looking at literature and historic plots, they in peculiarity image the costumes and interior of choosen era but simultaneously intensified the genre aspect, put accent on human relationship as the main motive of a composition. Prior to filling a picture with people, artists drew carefully all the details of an interior or a landscape on the back to underline spontaneous and realistic atmosphere around the central scene. Aiming to create a reliable composition, they were finding the examples of costumes and ornaments in manuscripts and history reference books.March 9, 201830

- How to find interest in life Hello, As far as I know there are a lot American literature concerning self-development, self-consciousness, changing own life. In Russian language literature we can find a lot of translation of such American literature and just few Russian analogue. But we also have a lot of materials in the Internet on such topics. I googled and took the first article for my today's English translation exercise. Advice 1. How to find an interest in life. If before you this question appeared, so you are expected to have a long work on yourself. In fact usually people already have a circle of their interests that have been forming over all their life. If it ceased to suit, so the time of big changes has come. How to find an interest in life Instruction 1. Listen to yourself. Limit habitual sources of information and choose at least one weekends when you will not use email and social networks, will not turn on TV and will not read customary magazines. Leave this time for conversation with yourself. 2. Start to keep a diary where you will write your thoughts and feelings for come back to them later, to reread them and rethink once more. It could be as a common paper diary as a blog in the Internet. Maybe in discussions with your subscribers you will find out the truth... 4. Try to attempt everything. Many dance schools and martial arts schools propose a free first lesson. Why not to use this opportunity? Even if you don't find in this occupation your mission, you will satisfy your curiosity and elevate your mind... 8. Never be afraid to tackle a new problem. If you are interested in learning music or painting but you never did it before, possess yourself and begin.February 24, 201801
Russian Language Practice: Writing (3)
Мысли [о] об отце…
Когда мне было семь, моя семья эмигрировала в Соединенные Штаты Америки. В конце 1990-х[, ] мои родители [размышляли] планировали /хотели переехать либо в Канаду, в Австралию, или в Германию. В то время [не кто] никто даже не задумывался о Соединенных Штатах Америки. Но так вышло, что [его] моего отца наняли на работу в [конторе] компанию в этой стране. Мой отец первый/первым прилетел в Америку. Через несколько месяцев[,] мы снова все [вместе опять] встретились.0 votedFebruary 22, 20181
Первые [года] годы были тяжелыми. Мне пришлось выучить английский язык за год, чтобы помогать родителям. Но папе было тяжелее. Каждый вечер после работы [, каждый вечер,] он ходил на вечерние курсы [для] английского языка. Даже в школе он никогда не интересовался языками. Но [не смотря не] несмотря ни на что, он заставил себя выучить английский язык. Возможно, я унаследовала его решимость.
В седьмом классе я начала изучать латынь. После [шесть] шести лет я решила попробовать выучить арабский язык в университете. Я не считаю себя полиглотом, но мне всегда нравились языки. (Я мало помню из арабского!) Однажды я задумалась - хотел бы папа когда-нибудь вернуться в Латвию? В детстве он жил в Кенгарагсе. Там он встретил своих друзей и [зокончил] закончил школу. До [разрыва] распада СССР[,] он планировал поступить в Рижский Технический Университет. Ему пришлось вернутся в Россию, где он закончил учёбу [на уровня магистера] по степени магистра. Если я смогу выучить русский язык, то я хочу и латышский тоже выучить. Может, когда-нибудь мы вместе сможем [навестить] посетить Ригу / побывать в Риге...*У Вас отличный русский! Можно приниматься
0 votedFebruary 22, 20180- Advertising I randomly picked the theme "Advertising" for a today's exersice of my English. So I searched in the Internet for a propriete text for translation. I found it in the Russian version of the Wikipedia. My translation is below. Thank you in advance for your time! Advertising is a direction in marketing communications in which information is spreaded. The word "advertising" comes from latin verbs "reclama" (to shout) and "reclamare" (to answer, to request), that were suffered from considerable meaning changes during many centuries. Advertising is a non-personal translation of information, usually paid and having a character of convince about goods, services or ideas of famous adverisers by means of different vehicle. Main characteristics of advertising coming from its definition are: 1. Non-personal character (it is conducted only via intermediaries) 2. One-way directed process 3. Ambiguity (it is difficult to measure an effect from advertisement) 4. Social characher (it means that the good that is advertised is legal and generally accepted. It is prohibited to advertise, for example, drugs) 5. It always contains information about a client. It is known to whom advertising benefits) 6. Non-impartiality. Whole objectivity is impossible by definition Dear friend, Thank you very much for your time! This text was a bit difficult for me. But also translation was very helpful for me. I hope I will recieve a correction of this texts. That would be hundreds helpful. Thank you very much in advance!!!February 22, 201860
- An internal monologue An internal monologue I decided to conduct an internal monologue in my brain so I could observe my emotions and factors effected them. And of course, it would be really helpful in my way of constructing better me and would help me to overcome this small soul crisis I have know due to some reasons. Sometimes I will conduct such a monologue in English so it would be helpful for my future career as well and would give my another psycological succes for repairing my optimistic mood. Of course, it is sure that all we have such a monologue all the time we think, so it could be understood that we have it all the time except we sleep. So what's new in my decision if I as all people already do it every moment I am awake? The new is that I will analyze, evaluate it. I really need it, because uncontrolled thinking already caused these problems in my mood and motivation. So positive critisism for my thoughts is the best instrument I need now. In my opinion quality of life is a characteristic that is given only by our consciousness, it is not characterized by amount of our money or property, our education and a step we took in a social ladder are not matter. A level of quality of life is measured by our brain. If I consider myself and my life to be gorgeous, it is reality. Because there are no objective measures and measurable instruments to quality. It is only our understanding. I am really confused. I understand myself happy. And now I am on the way to feel it, to enjoy the beaty of the the world and life. Thank you very much for your time! Have a good day!February 18, 201800
- - Мир во всём мире
Why всём? Is it because the B preposition?No. Весь мир - the whole world (Nominative case)
Prepositional case - (П.п.) во всём мире
- Нас делают счастливыми улыбки наших родителей
Does наших родителей in this case correspond to plural genitive?
Yes. Улыбки - чьи? кого? posession - родителей (Genitive)The typical case of using genitive. - of for possesion in English
Smiles of our parents
- Чтоб был мир на земле
Чтобы у моей семьи всё было хорошо
Whats the difference between Чтоб был and Чтобы?
No difference. Just for rhythm. In my opinion ЧТОБ is more informal, more conversational
And in Чтобы у моей семьи всё было хорошо is у моей семьи feminine genitive?
Yes. Like У меня (genitive) есть книга = у моей семьи все хорошо- А какое ваше новогодние желание?
У меня много новогодних желаний.
Why новогодних желаний? Is it because the word много turns both the новогодние and the желание into plural genitive? As for желаний, I could not find a ий ending for plural genitive….
Yes. We use genitive after МНОГО. It is neuter gender, plural ending for genitive1 mistake: А какое ваше новогоднее желание?
- Не бояться делать свою жизнь интересней я хочу
If the person is talking about his/her life, then why свою? Isnt свою his/its?Not at all! Свой, своя, свои - instead of my (your, his, her, our, their) when we talk about an owner and its property, about actions with own things.
Я взял свою книгу - I took my book (I am an owner, and the object belongs to me!)
Compare - Ты взял мою книгу - you took my book (because it is not owner who act with a book)
Ты взял свою книгу - you took your (own) book
Он взял свою книгу - he took his (own) book
Compare: Он взял его книгу - he took his (for example, his friend) book
Мы взяли свои книги - we took our books
Вы взяли свои книги - you took your books
Они взяли свои книги - they took their (own) books
Compare: Они взяли их книги - they took their books - for example. Who did take my parents books? My brothers did. They took their (your parents) books
0 votedFebruary 10, 20180 For this, the literal English translation, however incorrect it might be in English, helps me a lot!
- Когда вокруг у всех родных все хорошо и у себя на душе спокойно
у всех родных все хорошо is literally 'by/at all the relatives everything is good', so why is вокруг needed? Can't one say: Когда у всех родных все хорошо?Yes, we can say this way as well. "Вокруг" is used to show that if "outside" everything good, inside you as well everything is fine ("и у себя на душе спокойно)
- и у себя на душе спокойно
Could you write the literal English translation reflecting the grammatical construction?In English you say I have a book. In RUssian we say У меня есть книга - like The book is at me.
Душа - soul or your mood, your internality.
And at yourself at your internality it is quiet (or calm or easy, withouth stress. Sorry I am not sure about English synonims)
Спокойно= it is quiet
Means like And in ones internality ityourself are quiet
- Мы поём много песен весёлых. На разных языках.
Why песен весёлых and not весёлые песни? Is it because много makes it genitive and does that genitive make its way into both the funny and the song?Yes, after Много, больше, мало, меньше, достаточно ... we use genitive
And yes, we put both - noun and adjective - in the same padej
Весёлых песен = песен весёлых. For rhythm maybe - they changed the order. but both form are correct
- Мы были очень счастливы, что вам понравился наш первый
эпизод.
Why Понравился, is it because of the perfective aspect? It is finished?
Yes, We watched and enjoyed. Maybe it is still is nice for us, we still like it. But we was happy because of your reaction after watching. Your reaction is finished.- Do you like my movie?
- Yes, I do
- I am so happy! =>
...Weeks later I may say about it - Я был счастлив, что тебе понравился мой фильм
