Wayne, it was very nice to meet you! We had a wonderful time talking and learning new words and expressions. I’m sure we will have super progress soon. Looking forward to our next lesson:)
Activities
- Write some questions for an interview with a writer about his/her early life1) You write in the fantasy genre. It seems that you have a rich imagination. Did it help you in your childhood?(Do you mean, "Did your childhood help develop your imagination?" or "Did you imagination help with your childhood?"Did you have a passion for storytelling as a child?2) What was your favorite childhood book?3) What was your early education like? How did those years impact you?4) Why did you choose to major in "Microbiology" in college? Does it currently help you with your writing?5) When did you begin to write? What was the inspiration for it?6) Why did you decide to write in the fantasy genre?7) Is it true that you worked as a yard-keeper to learn about the main tool of witches - a broom?0 votedMay 24, 20200
- Correct would be: Tom goes to the dentist twice a year. Tom goes to the dentist's office twice a year. Where is Peter? Peter is at the dentist. Where is Peter? Peter is at the dentist's office. ...saying dentist's alone just makes a person sound like they didn't finish high school or college.0 votedApril 14, 20180
TO LEARN BY HEART
Our English teacher told us to learn a poem by Oscar Wild " The Harlot's House" by heart. I divided this poem into two equal parts. I am practically done with the first. The most difficult fragment for me is:
"Like wire-pulled automatons,
Slim silhouetted skeletons
Went sidling through the slow quadrille".
I cannot get rhythm of it and I hardly understand the meaning of "wire-pulled".
I found some videos where English-speakers are reading this poem. I tried to imitate their pronunciation and it wasn't easy, I should say.
It isn't my first experience of learning poems this way, but I cannot see any real progress.
I hope some day I'll get rid of my accent.I'm sure your accent will fade, but don't be discouraged by this poem. These words aren't often used in normal English speech. If it's for a class, do the work. But you'll make more progress using vocabulary used in popular culture. Many Americans sound silly reading this poem too ))

I'm anticipating a lot of presents for Christmas.
Peers sentence is good.
Your sentence with whatever should use wherever. Better is:
She bought corn, carrots and whatever other vegetables she could find.
cross-legged sentence is good.
The always gossip about their friends' lovelives.
The day I was accepted to the university, I received an acceptance letter.
Thrilled sentence is good
I applied to three universities, and, because of my high grades, all of them sent me acceptance letters.
This sentence is called a run-on:
My income isn't high but I hope my restaurant will become very popular and I will become a very rich person.
It's because you have two conjunctions ... ,and и but,
Solve it by breaking it into two sentences.
My income isn't very high. But I hope my restaurant will become popular, and I'll become rich.
Cheers,
Wayne
