exhibition

I was with my friends at on the japanese japanise culture exhibition at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. We had been planning to visit this event for two months and at last we made could do it. I bought all tickets online so that we wouldn't have no any queuing problems with a long queue at the entrance of the museum. The exhibition itself was fascinating really great: there is a great variety are many various of paintings which I'd never seen before. Especially I particularly liked Hokusai's paintings.

I was not used to speaking it. Were you familiar with that language? No Are you used to it now? Yes, I am familiar with it now. I didn't get USE to speaking it. In the past did you GET familiar with the language? No, neither now I didn't use to SPEAK it. Did you use to speak the language? No And now? Yes I can speak it

I haven't seen you in class lately

Four sentences. Could you check them please. Thanks

Sorry for <strike>not writing to you</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">the late reply</font>. I am still <strike>busy</strike> involved with my son<strike><font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">. Unfortunately</font></strike>,. He is already two and half and, <font style="background-color: yellow;">unfortunately</font>, he isn't speaking <font style="background-color: yellow;">yet</font><strike>. It is so upsetting for really</strike>  I feel so upset. We went to the pediatrician but we were told only <strike>only said</strike> to wait<strike>. Waiting</strike> till he turns three, it<font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> is such a distressing period</font>. <strike>and this waiting is like a torture</strike>

I am sorry about your situation! Hope it gets better... In the meantime check this out:

Our Recruits Were Weak

There are two <strike>workplaces</strike> positions in the post office I work at. Now I'm the sole mail carrier <strike>at</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">working</font> there and <font style="background-color: yellow;">therefore</font> I <strike>should</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">have to wo</font><font style="background-color: yellow;">rk my fingers to the bone</font> <strike>as two people</strike> because mail must always be delivered.

So, during <strike>all the time</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">the period</font> I have been working <strike>worked</strike>, there <strike>was</strike> were at least three people who were<strike> candidates</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">in trial</font> to <font style="background-color: yellow;">become</font> the second mail carrier: a 49-year-old woman, a 22-year-old guy and a 44-year-old man.

The woman went <strike>off being in the middle of the area where</strike><font style="background-color: yellow;"> towards a mail carrier who was delivering</font> mail and<strike> she had saying that</strike>  <font style="background-color: yellow;">started complaining</font> she had no time to walk so <strike>long</strike> far (in fact, it always takes about 3-4 hours).

The guy <strike>got fired by his own</strike> resigned because he got a <strike>new</strike> better job (at least <font style="background-color: yellow;">that is what he told  </font><strike>said it to</strike> us <strike>himself</strike> but everyone supposes he just gave up).

The third candidate delivered mail today and <strike>did the same</strike>  <font style="background-color: yellow;">reacted </font>as the woman did. There was no particular reason <strike>he explained</strike>, he just walked off <strike>saying nothing</strike> without speaking, even to our boss.

We cursed them all, especially the last one. He claimed that he had one and a half years experience as a mail carrier for <strike>1,5</strike> <strike>working</strike> at various post offices. His act in the delivering area just broke our impression of him.

So what's wrong with them all? Are they really so weak? I don't get it. I'm a little angry because I have <strike>to do a double job</strike> to wor<font style="background-color: yellow;">k my socks off</font> and it ruins my everyday plans.

The meeting place

Mike <strike>told</strike>  <font style="background-color: yellow;">reassured</font> us that we <strike>won't  </strike><font style="background-color: yellow;">wouldn't </font>get lost, but I didn't know where the exit <strike>is</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">was</font>, because I'<strike>ve</strike> had forgotten the way in <strike>where we entered this road</strike>. <strike>Although</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">even if</font> the road <strike>runs</strike> <strike>around</strike>  <font style="background-color: yellow;">across </font>the park<strike><font style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247);">, even if it  is</font> a single</strike><font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">  was  a single </font>one. I <strike>may go ove</strike>r <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">could always go out from</font> the entrance. <strike>Thinking of that</strike>, <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Bearing that in mind</font>, I suddenly became anxious <strike>about it</strike> and began to run a little faster while searching <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the</font> other members. I managed to find <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the</font> place<strike>s</strike> where everyone was gathering, perhaps I was the last. Mike explained <strike>something about</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">what to do</font> after this time <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">together</font> and he started <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">started</font><strike> biking just to go</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">cycling </font>somewhere.

But I couldn't understand <strike>what</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> everything </font>he said <strike>all</strike>. If I <strike>lose</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">had lost</font> sight of everyone, <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">I wouldn't  have known</font> <strike>will be at a loss </strike>what to do. I could understand only one thing that ”Since the closing time was in 30minutes, you <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">could </font><strike>can</strike> freely eat anywhere or <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">go back another day</font>." I told Mike I <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">felt puzzled</font> and he <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">tried to</font> explain<strike>ed</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">everything</font> again, <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">with little success.</font> b<strike>ut I couldn't understand after all</strike>. Anyway, I was relieved to find <font style="background-color: yellow;">out</font> that everyone would go together<strike> to the place</strike> to <strike>return</strike> give the bicycles back.

Who did you spend most of <font style="background-color: yellow;">todays' hours</font> (today) with?

Who did you spend most of today with?
I spent most of my time with my husband today because we are a family.

My Job is boring

I always look at the same people, I drink coffee and see the screens on the tv, today I was not active, It was a quiet one. 

Well, I hope you'll have a better day tomorrow Eduardo!
