TV antenna
Guess what did I make made today?! :) A TV antenna, and it's working. So, lets start from the beginning. My home antenna unfortunately died today, so I had to do something. I watched one video "How to make a home TV antenna", and decided to do it. The first thing what I had to do is was to buy beer. Yes beer, but only in TINS. I bought two, so making the TV antenna became a fun story. I connected with the wire to these this two TINS, and attached it on to the iron rod, which I found on the landing. and it's ready to use.
Can you get sports channels with your antenna? ...Because they cost a fortune in England!

Today I woke up at 8 and striate straight away I went to the church . Today is a big day for the orthodox. It is the baptism day. So I took holy water from the Saint Nikolos Church (Remember place names must have capital letters). After, I had a/some nice breakfast with my family. Then, around 12 noon I went to the Bazaar to buy some stuff. About 14.00 I took my son to for a walk around (better - "took my son for a walk"). He is so cute, as soon as we are going out (better - as soon as we leave home) he closes is closing his eyes and sleeps sleeping in his pram all the time.
Few hours ago we came home, Now my mother in low together with my wife is cooking and I'm going to get bottle of nice wine and we are going to have hope nice diner. I love to spend quality time with my family.
We got back (or - we arrived home) a few hours ago. Now my mother in law and my wife are cooking, so i'm going to get a nice bottle of wine and hopefully we are going to have a nice dinner. I love to spend quality time with my family. (Me too)
0 votedJanuary 20, 20130Another thing is the following extract:
"Let's go back home. It's late." - "I'd rather stay out a little longer." - "I suppose we've got to go home ... time."
Is it "some" that should be here?Yes, because “some” refers to a more specific time and makes more sense with the context. The worry that “it’s late”, and “a little longer”, seems to suggest that a certain time has elapsed or is about to elapse.
In this case “some” has a specific meaning, whereas “any” would not have.
Please ask for further explanation, I’ll try my best…
0 votedJanuary 20, 20132Confused with pronouns
There are two sentences that I find very similar to each other in meaning but still there must be some trick if they give both of them. I'm supposed to insert some/any/no.
1. Will you have ... more tea? - Thank you.
2. Will you have ... more tea? You've had only one cup.
For the 1st one I think it's "some" as it's a usual offer of something to eat/drink.
For the 2nd one I guess it should be "any" but still don't understand why it can't be "some" as well.Use "some" in positive statments, polite requests or an offer.
1. Would you like some more tea? - Yes please.. (an offer)
2. Sorry, we don't have any more tea! (negative response)
Use "any" in negative statments or in statments where it doesn't matter which of a range of Possibilities are available.
1. You can come over any day this week. (non-specific)
2. You can come over some day this week. (This statement leads to the question - Well… which day???)
3. Would you like some tea, you can choose any of the teas here on the menu?
In answer to your question, you should have "some" as the answer to both of your sentences. Both sentences are an offer of something. (although, a bit more context would help!)
Another thing is the following extract:
"Let's go back home. It's late." - "I'd rather stay out a little longer." - "I suppose we've got to go home ... time."
Is it "some" that should be here?0 votedJanuary 20, 20130- вчера и сегодня Привет, как вы сегодна? Я и семья будем ехать смотреть мой сын Джош играет в местной футбольной команде.

Hello to everyone
Hi. I'm looking for someone who knows English well and can help me to improve my writing skills, and of course learn something about your country. It's always interesting to know more about the culture of foreign people. I'm looking for some Canadians because I'm thinking about to emigrating there and it will would be nice to know someone before I I'll come arrive (get there). Anyway, if you know English and want to share your knowledge then you are more than welcome
