Hi Bota,
It was great to meet you today.
In the lesson we discussed lots of interesting topics such as food and your country.
We also practiced using adverbs of frequency.
Great job!
Thanks,
Steven

Activities
- Even if my vacation was over month ago, my first class was only today. Isn't it strange? I thought in this way not so long ago, but now I admit that the schedule like this is pretty convenient. You have a month for preparing for work, and you can create many needful things like Syllabus and working plan. However, the firs class with my new students was great! The time flew so fast and productive. Well, I hope that it was productive for them. I've been a bit nervous and speak a little faster that I want to. To be honest, teaching via Zoom always makes me anxious. Sometimes more, and sometimes less, bur still anxious. The student were so nice and I think that we started to build our relationships with the right step.September 7, 202001
- Some kind of book review😁 I've been reading a book that called "How to live more with less" and I wanted to share some thoughts whish are related to it. I have started to read it as a chalenge to improve my English. I've been reading it in English, by the way and I am native Russian speaker. This book is about living phylosophy. The author tells us about the advanteges of minimalistic life style. This topic was always interesting for me, but sometimes when I read the book I feel that I am not able to believe in what writers is trying to say to us. I can tell about why in other time, because it is would be plenty reasons and now I have to hurry to my job. The last moment that I have wanted to tell is about difficulties. The thing is that reading in English was always extremely difficult for me. I've always read with the dictionary, but yesterday I realised that I read one chapter almost without looking on the translations. I felt very satisfied. It was delightful.September 3, 202040
- Hello, everyone! What is the best way to organise yourself when you work from home, in your point of view? I think about this question a lot because I am that person who often gets procrastinate if he has a lot of free time. I just cannot make myself to do something useful. Usually I spend my time in social media, reading comic books or watching silly videos on YouTube. In these cases I almost ready to cry, ha ha, because I feel dissapointment about myself. Not so long ago I have realised that I would prefer to be busy rather than have a plenty of free time. When you know that you have a limit of time, you more appreciate it than when you have a lot of free time. You need to wake up earlier and make a list of tasks. You have never procrastinate, if you exactly know your deadlines. Actually you can do an amount number of tasks and even do something that haven't been in your plan like relaxing yoga, meditation or reading a nice book.September 2, 202000
- I've got my package with books! Does it exist a moment more excited than that when you finally got your package with books that you've waited really hard? I wanted to collect all of the 'Sandman' parts which were published in Russian and I did it! I have actually made an unpacking video for the Instagram. To be honest it was the first time that I've tried to do something like this. It may haven't been as perfect as I expect, but I really wanted to share this moment with other people.August 30, 202000
- I am trying to continue writing a diary entry, and don't know which topic to choose :D I wonder, does it necessary to like your teacher, especially if you learn a language? Although it is not a secret that learning a foreign language can be challenging, but if you truly like it you can enjoy this process. Your attitude to language that you've been learning, connected with the atmosphere in classes and since the person who created the mood in lessons is teacher, I think it is not unnecessary to like him because of his personality and professional skills.August 27, 202020
- Today I wanted to tell about my daily routine which I organized on vacation. I was on my vacation last two months: June and July. Because of pandemic I have spent my free time at home. During that period I got used to wake up at 9 or 10 o'clock. There were three tasks that I gave myself after breakfast usually. I have read a book in English, have written a diary also in English and I've done yoga exercises. Then I did my English homework and read a books that I couldn't read before because of the fact that I hadn't enough time for reading. Once a week my family and I went on a little journey or trip. In addition we tried to go for a walk every evening. Thinking about that time now, I guess, this year vacation was quite productive.August 25, 202010
- I have noticed that it is very difficult to me to say 'no' sometimes. I have noticed that it is very difficult to me to say 'no' sometimes. Even if there are no reasons for me to agreed, I still cannot refuse when other people ask me about doing something. Is it bad aspect of my personality or not? I have been thinking of moments like this. When you know that it isn't a good idea to accept someone's desire, and you should say 'no', because it is not a crime, and the others will understand your point of view. In spite of these factors, we are not able to express our true thoughts. Why is that? I believe, we just could be afraid of the fact that we can dissapoint people around us. Especially, if there are our beloved members of family, or colleagues that we respect, or dear friends, which interests and thoughts are very important for us. The thing is, that people who truly cherish you will never judge you just because of hearing 'no' from you. The true word and your straightening to the point will make them to respect you and your needs.August 24, 202090
