Letter

Hi, my dear Tim!
In your previous letter you've said that have faced the prospect of having difficulties in studying English. So,l decided to make some peaces of advice due to your problem.
First of all I should admit that now,in 2014th, we have entirely different methods of studying foreign languages. To make it clearly for you I'll give an examples.

as everyone has their own mother tongue and origin,we are invited a lot of native speakers in order to simplify our studying and to hear how do they sound. I think it's a very worthwhile.

moreover, being developed country, all of us have access the Internet. So it's easy to find different types of dictionaries. We are occupied with information that even sometimes it's difficult to defend from.
Here I present you, how does one of the dictionary work.


There's a set of collocation you can also learn to pick you foreign language up and benefit from it.

In spite of such peaces of advice as "travelling to others countries, keeping in touch with native speakers,writing a letter and watching films without subtitles", I have one more for you: read foreign sources about something you are interested at. Here ypu can see a part of interesting article for me, that I have found in "fraze.it"
Mugabi, Zambia
Having lived in an English speaking country for a long time,I feel quite embarresed to say that my english is still below average. I was very close to throuwing in the towel of learning english language. But I pulled myself up and started learning english again.I am sure there will ample people that will criticise me and think I am not that smart, but I will just have to take it on the chin. Anyone that makes comments that are deemed to be below the belt, will surely recieve unpleasent response from me. And if My homework doesnt succeed in becoming teachers favourite, I think I will have to throw in the towel.
So, finalizing my letter I'd want to add:"The limits of your language are the limits of your world."
Keep writing.
Yours,
Olha

A Tale of two brothers

There were once two brothers-dictionaries. One of them was Thesaurus dictionary, another was Rhyming dictionary. Their family was excellent and considered to be reputable among others, soon in Kingdom of Sun a severe and indescribable climate came and family suffered from famine, so brothers had to leave their family housing and go to the East for some money to earn. The relationship between brothers was a considerable difficulty. Being too emotive they had to make real effort to reach agreement all the time and always consider fault of each other to be inexcusable. They cant distinguish more important dictionary from another.
During such ordinary quarrel they saw a noticeable old woman, carrying heavy bags, she seemed to be pointless. Being good-hearted they came to her and helped with her bags. She saw the boys were not heartless and said that can put through one their wish, for example to reconcile them but with one stipulation: they had to make a poem about wishes. It was real effort for dictionaries. One could make rhymes for poem but did not indicate that could not select synonyms. The situation with other dictionary was quite opposite. Soon brothers faced the prospect that it was unreal to write a poem without union. So elder Thesaurus dictionary first made a confession and said that has abuse on brother originated from childhood, because Rhyming dictionary always was occupied with parent’s love.

After that brothers understood their mistakes and thanked a woman that simplified a process of their reconciliation.
Finalizing my tale, I’d want to recall a moral of this story for everyone to remember:  “Our power is in our unity”..

First experience

As usual the words with beginning “first” is a classic example when your brains breaks out   entirely different emotions. The main concern is not to fail and to hear a strong criticism or to have tongue – tied in the most important moment.
I intend to tell you a brief summary of my First class of Vocabulary of Modern.
Having long weekend we came back open minded and ready to face the prospect of having real efforts. When the bell rang the teacher came in. Her face seemed familiar and it helped to put a fear out.
After acquaintance the  first task given to us was to create a poster about Ukraine.  At first it was. utter chaos in thoughts but we reached the agreement without considerable difficulty. We did not make even real effort to paint it. Also we learned a lot of new words and collocations.
To finalize my story I’d want to admit that my feelings about this lesson are indescribable.

Thanks for your attention. I wish you not to fear your beginning. Good luck J
