After reading I don't want to sleep and I take a shower and brush teeth. And after this I have some time for breakfast, cleaning or studing English.

I have an interesting article about learning english on my own: http://britishenglishcoach.com/33-ways-to-speak-better-english-without-taking-classes/ The article consist in the advice about how speak better without taking class. The advice about speaking more interesting for me. For example: Record yourself speaking English, Read aloud, especially dialogue, Watch short video clips and pause and repeat what you hear I think I have not enough speaking practice, but record my own voice, it's hard for me... Sometimes I have not time just, sometimes it's psychologically hard. Author the article ended phrase: "In the next 33 days, spend 15 minutes every day on one of the tips. I’m sure you’ll notice a huge improvement." I like challenges, and it will be good one. In next log I will write about my success in this ways. It will be very interesting to try all ways, and choose better for me.  And I'll start today.

Hi, Lidiya. Welcome to Number 15, Simonovsky Val Street. This is a good area and there are lots of thing to do here. There are some restaurants and cafes, for example the restaurant of Japan cuisine is in this building. There are a lot of supermarkets, two supermarkets are along the road to "Proletarskaya" station direction. The supermarkets opposite each other.  There are three subway station in 10-15 minutes walking. The cinema is near Proletarskaya station, but it is not very cheap. If you want to go shopping You should go to other station, for example Kurskaya - it's not very far.  And there are some beautiful places for a calm walk: "Krutitsy Metochion" and the river bank. I hope we'll be able to go for walk there together. I wait for you.  Cheers, Tanya.

"I can't get along with my colleagues. They never talk to me or invite me to parties" For a start you can talk about professional topics . Ask questions, talk about news, some advice leave until later. If you go to lunch, you mustn't  wait for an invitation, you can invite your collegues yourself. If you cook very well, good idea will be to bring  a homemade pie or pizza. If there is a kitchen at work it is nice place where you can drink a cup of tea with colleagues and talk about something, discuss some topics or ask for advice, for example: "Where to go on vacation?" But remember - be polite and work well and people will notice it.

"I have to work a lot and I can't find any time to study English or to do things I like" I can understand this problem, a lot of people can't find any time   to study when you spend a lot of time at work, but you can find some time in your routine . Try to appreciate your free time after or before a work and a weekend. Every day we spend a lot of time for routine things, for example: cleaning, commuting ( road to work or a home ), playing with children. Use this time to study English or things you like. You can listen to podcast, music or audio for learning. There are courses you can do in the car on the Internet. You can watch training video when you cook. And you can spend time on English grammar at the weekend . Install some applications in your phone or tablet  for learning words and grammar, and train some words every day for 10-15 minutes. If you can find an hour or two for study language with a tutor that's very well. The most important thing is to

There is washing powder under the sink. 4)  The bedclothes are in the chest of drawers in the bedroom. 5) You must close the two doors, because my neighbour can get angry.

Yesterday I watched "The Infiltrator" and I watched it English with sub. I don't knew that film isn't on Russian language. If say about film, I went on this film, because there was 7.5 raiting in kinopoisk.ru. But film was not very nice. It's standard film about agent and mafia. I don't know what people found in it.

I start to read "Short stories" O.Henry. The Gift of the Magi I read before. And I remember this book as sad. Although main characters and love each other, but their gift is the sacrifice. Maybe the book about big love, but I see the sacrifice and problem with money.  In the end story (adaptive book) was write:  "And now they are going to have happy Christams because they understand about special gifts".  the story hasn't feel happy. Maybe I'm not romantic.   And second story "The Art Game" about two friends, who want to earn some money. But one from them is thief. He lied to his friend, and stole a sculpture "Gold a horse" from millionaire's home. And the friends sold the millionaire his own the sculpture.

Finished reading the book I finished to read the "Jane Eyre". I read Russian version the book.  It's a very  interesting story. I was surprised. I thought  that this book is only romantic story, and very glad that not.  This book is more then just romantic story, there is mistery, family story,  interesting sense and beautiful language. It's history about girl,who hadn't parents. She had only an aunt with her children, and the aunt hate her. The aunt sent her to awful school, where she lived and studied 8 years. The story is without long and boring description and read very interesting. Always want to know what will be next. Though I dislike descriptions of religious conversations, but I understand that normal for author's time.   I like that the main persons were not very beautiful, it's not a standard for a modern romantic story. Though they hadn't a beautiful appearance, but they had a beautiful mind and fine feelings

I like opportunity  to read English articles or watch English movies, with subs of course, but I only learning . When I do exercises and do it right, it makes my mood better. (it's cheers me up) I think I am lucky, I have good teacher. She gives me interesting homework. And I do my homework after   be glad . My first  goal was to learn to read English books, but now I want to study English for life, not only for reading. I try to watch movies, to listen to music, to read books. I use many Internet services, for example: http://lingualeo.com/ https://puzzle-movies.com https://lingvolive.com I don't often practice my pronunciation, but in future I will try to do it more. What about feelings... Sometimes I see I'm not improving  and I feel sad, but sometimes I see my English gets better and it makes me glad.
