English speaking room

Solli,

...

So,I'm Olya
I'm happy to be here with you!
As I have said above my english is not so good, I can make some lexical, grammatical mistakes, so please be so kind to point at my mistakes. After all, we are here to improve our language)
I'm a mother of two wonderful girls and at the same time a student of second course(unfortunaly by correspondence ?)
I live in East Kazakhstan region. My town is surrouded by wonderful and remarkable nature. Our places are really very amazing sometimes it's cold "the second Switzerland". If you do not mind, I show you later.

Darling, I don't think it's necessary as far as it might be annoying and you might want to give up mixing with us. If you want I can give you some pieces of advice and more than that I can recommend some books to improve your grammar if you certainly need it. Your desire to use English as means of communication is more important than somebody's inteference or help.

It'll be great We are looking forward to seeing all the pictures you'll show

[quote="Splattie"]LOVE things like this! In fact, they sometimes may look absolutely elegant.
Fully agree with you. You see I've entirely changed my style in clothes. first of all because I can't wear high heels. But I like my new style: it's elegant too (at least people say so) but at the same time it's more comfortable and modern. It makes me look younger.
Thank you, pet (the word that's very often used by Sharon Owens whose novels I like very much. Thanks a lot for them too
(Let it be the Black Russian this time)

That's right! I speak English twenty-six hours a day and I still make plenty of mistakes!!! Silly Splattie!


What is your daughters name?

NatalyS, hi! How are you keeping, girl? I've been missing you desparately!

Yes-yes-yes!!! I like pictures of beautiful places!

I am leaving you for now, girls!

Duty calls!

Splattie Tanya, I've just come back from the post office where I had got your parcels with the magazines. It's great As for the Easy Comfort Food I can't even put into words ..... It's something out of this world You see I'm not good at cooking pastas and there are a lot of wonderful dishes in the book. May be now I'll cook lasagne Other recepies are very interesting too. Thanks to you I've got a lot of words for our dictionary. You see they haven't stolen the Makeup Eraser Pen though the packet was damaged. You are humouring me And another piece of Irish wisdom. It's really great You see I don't know what to begin with

I think it's wonderful that ladies from different countries correspond with each other and even send packages!!!

Keep up the warm spirit!!!

Solli, your English is excellent, especially for someone who does not live in an english-speaking country. And your daughter is beautiful!!!

I have a son who will be turning 1 on July 20th, so the whole lovely baby stage is still fresh in my mind. They are so precious and endearing!!!

Alright, I think that's enough for the morning - otherwise I won't be able to work

God bless!!!

A handsome little gentleman, your son!
Do you work, Alina? Who looks after him then?

NatalyS писал(а):

That was the purpose! To make you work even more on the Dictionary!

As I said before, Irish stubborness is quite infectious... I've got a third one! I mean a cosmetic erazer!

Solli Olga, Ive just had another look at your photo. You look like the madonna, not that famous Amrican pop-star, but that one by Benua, if I am not mistaken. Your baby and you look like being one person How old are you, by the way. If it is not a secret

Oh, girls you are so kind and lovely!!!
Your words are making me embarrassed
It's so hard for me to express my thoughts... I consult my dictionary with nearly all the words I write

- sorry, I cannot understand
But your baby is charming, as you I suppose

As for my picture it's me and my younger daughter. Her name is Elya, and she is 1,10. Another is Liya - 3,10. I'm 23

Unfortunately, my husband and I both work - my days are 12/13 hours long, and the main reason is that my commute is incredibly long. Thankfully, in the next 6 months, the office will be moving closer to my place of residence.

Timothy (my son) attends daycare - we were lucky we found an excellent one where the ratio of teacher to child is 1:3 and where the caretakers are all professionals. It is more expensive than normal daycare, but well worth it for our peace of mind.

The american economic system, although wonderful and efficient in many ways, is terrible to mothers. We only get 6 weeks paid maternity leave (I was lucky that my job gives 3 months).

Solli, "turning 1" means becoming a certain age. So my son will be 1 year old on July 20th.


By the way, your daughters are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

Solli
Your daughters are charming

Solli, Olya! Your girls are great! And you look alike, all three of you!

Alina, I can't believe that! The Irish government gives any woman at least one year of maternity leave, very well paid, by the way.

Girls, look, what I found while making a mess in my shelves!



My mother-in-law gave us these two pieces of crystal for Christmas, and I've forgotten to show them to you on time!

SplattieIt's superb Lady Margaret has a good taste

Nataly, dear, thank you!
That was me who had chosen the pieces.
Lady Margaret suggested the sum she would pay for the present and let us go around the Waterford crystal Visitors centre, having a look at whatever we would like. I halved the sum as soon as she couldn't hear us. Then we came back to the cafe, where we left her and announced about our choice.
Anyway, Thanks!
