Congratulations! Conversation Club is open))
For one thing, we should comply with some rules: 1)English speakers are not allowed to laugh at those, who learn to speak. 2) English speakers shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes. We are all people, we are not sinless . Well, that'll be enough for a start. Good luck! -------------------- Stick and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you.

Don't know what to discuss. But I have a question, who knows this book: Truman Capote "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? Is ıt good to read or no? Do you want to read this book in English or in Russian? If in English, no matter what you choose, then read it. Because it can help you improve your English. By the way, Beauty, can you answer my question? Why do you think I wrote "help you improve" instead of "help you TO improve" ? I ask this question, because you can come across it when you sit for an exam next year. -------------------- Stick and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you.

Do you want to read this book in English or in Russian? If in English, no matter what you choose, then read it. Because it can help you improve your English. My english teacher offered us to read this one, don't know to agree or not. I thought that it's better to choose such books you know with modern language. But she said, almost in all last books english is not so good, like in classic books. I've read already only some parts of Sherlock Holmes, O.Wilde and Coelo "Veronica decide to die". It was easier to read last one, because in another there were so many useless old words, that i won't use in speaking... Who will choose the theme?)) -------------------- "Neçə külək gərəkdir, göz yaşlarımı qurutmaq üçün

I read English classics in English only because of the language. Do you know what foreigners like most of all? They like when english-learners sound old and classic. It is the true language. Not what we can learn from modern writers. If you want to learn Modern English it better for you to buy a dictionary of the English slang. And you will learn it in one-week time. BUT to look great and wise and smart you should read novels written by classics. Start with Oscar Wilde "The picture of Dorian Gray". It's not big and difficult, but very interesting, and you can find so many good word combinations. Just write down all unknown and useful phrases (not words, but word combinations, such as, e.g, to mock AT smb, to look haggard and so on and so forth, but not just "to mock" and "haggard" - bare words won't do) and you won't be disappointed in the language. Ok, I'll ask a question) Literature ( why not? ). What is the best book you've ever read and why? Explain your choice. -------------------- Stick and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you.

J-Runka, my girl, you're right, you repeated everything what said me my teacher. But I'm so lazy.... You know i've even begun to read Dorian Grey last year, but stopped on the half of this book))), maybe because i've read it in russian before, don't know. and to write down all word combinations, of course it's good idea, but again laziness..... But with modern books it's easier So i should try to control myself, and don't search easy ways of life)). Цитата Ok, I'll ask a question) Literature ( why not? ). What is the best book you've ever read and why? Explain your choice. I think i will read the best book.... I have many favourite books, like "Vanity fair", "Старик и море" (don't know how in original language ), "Crime and punishment"(right?) and so on..... I like books of classic, because they were written centuries ago, but problems that were described are yet actual for our time.... I like english writers, because of their self-irony. I like books with historical implication, when writer connect plot with famous historicalm events or show us his main hero, his behaviour during his life, in this events like in "Jan-cristof".... So what about you, your favourite books? -------------------- "Neçə külək gərəkdir, göz yaşlarımı qurutmaq üçün
