    New post

    I would like to improve my writing skills, but at the moment I did not decide which topic I should write actually so I'm writing just what I'm thinking now and I hope that people who are more competent in English correct it. I'm writing without any dictionary and translation software and turn off autocorrection just now so mistakes will be much more )) but what to write I did not decide yet) can you give me some idea? I will be glad to get any idea and try to write them topic by topic.

    I think Sarah B's corrections are very good. Why don't you try writing about your thoughts on a current issue? Political or personal.

    I have a stressful job. I'm a lawyer.
    Very often we are the last hope for people. People often go to a lawyer <s>then</s> when things <s>is</s> are bad.
    We are not Gods and can not guarantee the result in <s>a</s> court.
    Because of this <s>i</s> I experience constant emotional stress, and, as a result, have sleep disorders.
    Therefore <s>i</s> I do not like to work with private clients.
    I prefer to <s>see</s> have corporate clients <s>business- company like in my clients</s> , because they <s>take</s> think of the situation in advance and come for a consultation before taking any serious steps <s>and make a deal</s>.

    How do you give advice??
    Modal verbs for giving advice have different nuances - subtle differences in what they mean.

    "You could do this...."
    Could -used to indicate possibility (it may happen, it may not happen.)

    "You should do this..."
    Should -used to indicate internal obligation (inside/personal) or you feel you have a duty - a doctor is obliged to treat a patient.

    "You ought to do this..."
    Ought -used to indicate internal obligation. Should is used more communly than ought.


    Consider these sentences:

    "I could get to work on time."
    Does it sound like this person is worried about getting to work on time?

    "I should stop speaking to my friends on the phone at work."
    Does this person feel bad about speaking on the phone?

    "I ought to take my jacket as it might rain."


    Think of where the intonation is:
    "My friend stays up all night!"
    "He shouldn't be doing that!"

    What words do you use when you give advice?
    If we didnt use could/should/ought and just said "Stop using the phone" or "Go to bed!" The advice becomes an order.

    Saying that word even to a member of our family It's strange and no correct, I think so

    A young native English speaker wouldn't use 'Dear' when speaking face to face with someone.

    Would you tell me about “darling”? My husband call me darling and I wonder is it old school?
    Thank you!

    Darling is quite old school and also quite upper-class, it is an endearment that is full of fondness and closeness.

    Key words and phrases for expressing yourself
    When learning a new language there is a stage you get to where you really want to be able to express yourself as authentically as you can in your own native language. It suddenly isn't enough to be able to communicate on a functional basis.

    Here are some key words for expressing your opinion:

    Unfortunate = "Things always go wrong for me, I have no luck. I applied for a job and didnt get it. I never win the lottery." = Unlucky.
    Unhygenic = "If a bathroom is dirty and is visibly covered in bodily fluids." Unclean, in a way that may cause disease.
    Ridiculous = "A person is not making any sense in what they are saying." Stupid or unreasonable and deserving to be laughed at.
    Not difficult = "A job that is really easy." Not needing skill or effort..
    Totally absurd = "A bad business deal that leaves both parties with no money or as absurd as a bird with a dogs tail."Stupid and unreasonable, or silly in a humorous way.
    Cruel = "Extremely unkind and unpleasant and causing pain to people or animals intentionally." Extremely unkind.
    Pointless = "Something that is pointless has no purpose." A waste of time doing it.

    These are all negative! Can you think of positive adjectives for expressing yourself?


    Here are some key phrases for expressing your own opinion:

    To give your own viewpoint.
    "Personally, as far as I'm concerned.."
    "If you ask me...."

    Similar to 'I think'.
    "If you ask me..."
    "As far as I'm concerned..."

    Emphasizing the word 'I'.
    "Personally I..."

    Usually comes at the start of a sentence that is stating a strong or controversial view.
    "To be perfectly honest..."
    "Frankly..."

    States a strong unshakable belief.
    "We are absoloutley convinced that.."

    Used to introduce a viewpoint that contrasts or disagrees with another view.
    "I really dont think that..."
    "I don't believe for a minute.."

    Used to introduce an opinion where the speaker accepts they may be mistaken.
    "I may be wrong but.."

    Can you think of any other key phrases for expressing yourself?
