Hi, I recently moved to Kyiv and plan to be here for two years. I've been polling the Ukrainians I meet (who speak English) and most people suggest I learn Russian first, not Ukrainian. I know almost zero of either language. I'm really motivated to learn so that I can talk to people here.

    My husband

    Yesterday, my husband was sick but he still went out to play game.

    Normally, you'd specify what sort of game he was playing, for example "he still went out to play football."

    He skipped lunch and slept from 1pm to 3pm.

    Correct.

    When he woke up, he continued to play game.

     Again, you should specify what game he was playing, or simply say, "a game." Also, if he went inside and then out again, "continued" should be replaced with "went out again to continue"

    My brother went to the market and bought a chicken. When he came back home, my husband cooked dinner. Correct.

    Today, my husband felt worse than yesterday. When he came back home from his office, he lay down in the bed. I cooked dinner but he ate a little.

    Tomorrow, he will be off work in order to take a break. (in order to rest?) I hope he will be better soon. (You could say, "I hope he gets better soon" to sound more natural.)

    I screwed up my monthly test!

    Please help me check and correct this paragraph. Thank you! If it’s possible , you can provide me some tips for math study too! Thanks again!

    Ahhhhhhhh! I just screwed up my math monthly test this afternoon ! Math is one of my biggest problems. It is really frustrating when you keep getting unbelievably low grades in one subject even though you already spend plenty of painful time on it . What upsets me more is that my classmates are always yelling after each test “Ah! I’m screwed! I’m done!” But they eventually get a pretty high score, maybe with a few mistakes. But when I say “I’m screwed” I mean what it literally means, like only getting 40%scores.

    Well, part of reason I keep getting low grades in math is because I started learning math in 2016; I didn’t learn math from 3rd grade to 9th grade for some special reasons. I started later than my classmates. But still, I really want to get better in this subject. It is a really important subject in school; it will effect my application for college. And it is also a fundamental subject of natural science. I hope I’ll do better on my final. Wish me good luck!

    Diary. Day 15

    Today is Sunday and as usual I am going to my students. Today I am a teacher of art. Actually, I am an architect, but on weekends I take a few students and we study art and drawing. My favorite student is a girl named Eleanora. She is a really talented girl. The picture above is her own drawing.

    What is a backshift? Do you mean a backslash?

    I'm from the USA and I've never heard this phrase. However, if I heard someone say it, I would think they were describing a dangerous neighborhood. Crowbars are used to break into homes, so if someone used one with an edge, they might be breaking into a home with a violent intention.

    It's correct, although using the word "afflicted" like this is rather formal and not very common. People in the USA would more commonly say "My father was diagnosed with cancer last year." The most casual way to express this would be to say, "My father got cancer last year." By the way, my sympathies on your father's illness.
