    Today

    I learned 40 new words today, and I heard about ''basic english words'' (850) yesterday. I'm going to learn them in the near future.

     

    Very good! Unlike in Russian, the pronoun "I" is always capitalised in English, even if it is not the first letter in a sentence.

    Incredibly vast and diverse land. Beautiful architecture and an industrious commercial sector. I found the stories and birch bark scrolls from Veliky Novgorod fascinating. I also study Systema, the Russian martial art; its concepts are far different than any other martial art I have come across. I have not been to Russia but plan to visit in the next couple of years.

    I like to travel

    I like to travel very much. Sometimes I travel for work, sometimes for resting (on vacation). I have been in Switzerland, Bulgaria, Holland, Italy, Belgium, Spain, France, Russian, Germany, Litva and Poland.
    The last few times I went to Taize, Lyon, Torino and Milano. It was a wonderful vacation. Italy impressed me a lot.

    I like going to Taize meetings every year. Each year in a different country. I have been in these meetings in Rotterdam, Berlin and in communa Taize in France. It was a wonderful experience to communicate with people from other countries, who speak many languages. This year I will try to get to a Taize meeting in Rome.

     

    Very good!

    Was close to being right. It was more difficultly worded than incorrect

    Good (upbringing?) since childhood

    I never thought about our hobbies or education like a good investments for the future. But once my mind was changed by a meeting. (But I once had my mind changed by a meeting.)
    When your parents tell you (and you are a little boy or girl with a wind inside your head.) about the use of good classes, it sounds like "bla-bla-bla....", and you continue to do what you did before. 

    But once I was introduced to a fellow. We started to talk and I noticed, that he caught little intonations in the conversation and understood, what you didn't voice. I found out, that he was a winner in some musical competitions.
    After that new acquaintances of mine (who was connected with music.) also born out my notice. (This sentence makes little sense to me; it seems incomplete.)
    And now I think, that all lessons that we learned in the childhood, or abilities we have now developed, or will develop from now; such as the music developed in meetings of mine that give a good feeling.

    Very good.
    In there first sentence you had a mixed singular and plural clause (like a good investments). "Investments" is plural, therefore "a investments" is not grammatically correct.

    The second part of the sentence makes sense, but sounds clumsy.

    Unlike in Russian, in English we capitalise "I" in sentences, even if it is not first in the sentence.

    The last sentence I found difficult to understand. Perhaps someone who has a good grasp in both English and Russian can help you with that part.

    I am learning English, because I want to study at the language faculty and make friends from America.
    My native language is Russian, and I grew up in Russia.
    I enjoy dancing, reading, fashion and so on...
