My First English Lesson

It was a disaster. All English books I`ve read, all foreign movies I`ve watched are for nothing.

I was asked simple questions about my life circles, English practice, causes of attending these courses and etc. I could answer it easily if I had more time to consider the structure and words to compose a good-sounded sentences, but I was all about trying to find a suitable word and saying interjections instead of feel natural and talk just the way I can.

It was only first lesson but I already regret I`ve attended the group courses. I thought it would be easier and more itneresting if I had conversation not only with a teacher, but with class-mates as well. But now as for sure I`d better prefer the teacher to focus all her intention on me.

The second lesson is on Thursday. Will think somethig out about all this idea.

Dear Diary

I can still feel the grandiose changes taking place in my mind and I want to outline a little plan for this year lest I forget the things I do truly desire.

Free to choose the way of spending my very own time I decided to do what I actually want to do and to set it as my principle 2012.

I always admire people who speak fluent English. Not Spanish, Italian, Swedish and, God forbid, Chinese! but English. Those sounds of foreign words are charming. The only reason I don`t speak English is laziness I suppose.. okay, I admit. And now I want to set it as a point number one in my list and make myself learn it.

The cause for not having driver`s licence is more justified – I haven`t got a car so it`s sort of needless to have licence at all, and have to confess it`s a bit scary for me when in traffic and I imagine myself driving at that moment. And what is  for now? I think that where an operating permit is – there is a car as well.

And before I go to bed – I promise I`ll do my best for the best for me :) ) I won`t be lazy, I`ll try to not hang my head if something goes wrong :) I will smile and achieve my little goals step by step.

Down To Earth. Back from Aussie

Don`t really know whether I dreamed it or I actually was to Australia. Time passed so fast and I`m already back to Moscow.

From Melbourne through all the greatest showplaces such as Hanging Rock, The Twelve Apostoles, The Great Ocean Road, Sinkhole, Blue Lake, Old Tailem Town, Naracoorte Caves, – to Adelaide.

To be honest it`s beyond description, everything I saw around there you should see it yourself. I can`t even find words now to convey my feelings, for its inexpressible.

I`ve still not recovered from the impression, will try to write a little story of my eight days in Australia later.

But turning back to my journey I`d say Australia isn`t like other lands, it`s something different, fantastic and magic, and there is no need to visit all the countries in the world to realise it.
