Yes, dear.I can recommend you a very good textbook to learn more about English grammar. If you certainly need it.

NatalyS
Of course I do!

in this case certainly would be the right choice, as the speaker is not certain if the partner might need the item. Therefore if you might need it would be better.

Mary, mind conditional sentences. This one is unreal condition referring to the present or future. It must look like this: I would be grateful if you corrected them. Good luck!

Or rather real condition referring to the future. In this case, use will instead of would, i.e. "I will be grateful if you correct them".

it can be also considered as mixed condition: would referes to politeness, correct - to regularly repeated action.

Its a pity that my conditional sentences caused some disagreement I promise Ill repeat it

Nothing of the kind, darling. It's not the problem of your English as it's quite good as I've already mentioned. Some people are ill-bred and too naughty. The best thing is to ignore them. That's all.

Hi girls!

I miss you! I hope all is well.

Nataly, I was reading this book by Danielle Steel called "Changes" the other day and I was thinking of you because we were discussing her other book with you a while ago. The book wasn't bad at all. I actually managed to read it very fast as oppose to my other summer reading. Have you read the book I have mentioned above?

Daniel Steel called "Changes

No, sorry to say. I've read some other ones both in English and in Russian. The one that impressed me most of all is "Old Letters". I read it in Russian. It deals with the Russian ballet dancer, her tragic fate and her great love. I wish I read it in English.

"Changes" is about beautiful and successful television news anchor who falls in love with renowned heart transplant surgeon. After a whirlwind courtship, they marry. Each has children from previous marriages. The strain of a new marriage and attempts to blend a family jeopardize their happiness but it all settles perfectly at the end.

I am planning to read more of Danielle Steels books. I will keep you posted. I could not locate her book "Old letters". Perhaps, it translates differently.

Sorry, I've just found it. The headline reads as follows "Granny Dan" It's worth reading upon my word!

Not a problem, thank you! With 92 books to choose from she will keep me busy for a while!

I'm awfully sorry, darling, I don't know how to address you. You seem young and beautiful. Can I have your name, please?
Another book by D. Steel I've read in translation: "Silent Honour" It's about a Japaneeze girl who came to the USA to study and met a men she fell in love with. He loved her too. By the way, the man was American. They were very happy until the Second World war began and he was conscribed. The girl gave birth to a baby. She suffered much. Then as usual a happy end. The plot seems obvious, but while reading I couldn't help sympathizing with the characters. I haven't been to the shop where books in English are sold as there are some in my home library I haven't read yet. I'm going to read at least two while having a rest in Greece. After we come back home, I'll buy some new ones by D. Steel and we'll have another small talk. Agreed?

Nataly, I am sorry, I didn't realize that you might not remember me as I have recently changed my profile. I am Esmira! Thank you so much for your compliments!

You have a great vacation and we will definetely catch up later. I was busy with smimming and I am switching to dancing now but I am sure there always will be a room for a good book in my life.

Oh, yes, it's very stupid of me not to remember such a beautiful name! Awfully sorry again. You love horses, don't you? My daughter loves them too. It's great really as well as swimming and dancing. I think we'll swim much in Greece though I can't sayn that i'm good at swimming. We are leaving for Greece tomorrow. Hope to meet you after we come back.

No reason to apologize, dear, I understand.

I adore horses! There is something magical about them. They are so graceful & free spirited creatures, simply amazing! I think I can relate to that. Perhaps, that is why I am so attracted to them.

I am neither a professional swimmer nor dancer; I am just enjoying it my own way. I do have my first private Salsa lesson scheduled for today, which is complimentary as I am taking Zumba fitness classes with this Studio. I am exited as I know it will be fun, at least that is how I view things.

Have a wonderful vacation!

Hello, I am new here. I am from Armenia, but live in the States for 12 years. My name is Elmira.

hello Elmira , which state are you in now?

Good evening girls.
It has been such a long time since I have been here.
I had been quite busy with my little one.
I still drop in here time to time, but from the phone.
Thus I do not have much willingness to write.
I turned 30 today!
I had a fantastic day full of surprises.
I did not want to celebrate it due to being ill (cough). And not wanting to cook for lot of people.
But my friend asked me to come and meet her at London West End, which I did.
And we had a lovely meal together in an iranian restaurant in the Leicester square. After we went to see my prefered musical "Mamma mia". I thoroughly enjoyed it all. It was the first time I ent out since having my baby, so it was liberating too
My husband had his surprise waiting for me at home too:-)
Upon my arrival my little one run to mr with a baloon singing the b'day song.
When I opened the door he decorated the table, brought flowers and a personalised postcard. And there wer a.soup and a pilaf waiting to be served. W e.did.the cake thing after all this. Now I am just over the moon. I could not have wished for a better celebration. So.this is it. My latest update and I wanted to share today's positive energy with you lot
