The task is to write a letter of complaint (approx. 200 words) Dear Sir! I am writing to you to complain about the fund-raising film screening you arranged last Saturday. There are several reasons why I am disappointed with it. Firstly, the film started later than it was announced, and it lasted over three hours. As a result, I and my cousin missed our train home. Secondly, the break was not long enough to buy ice-cream owning to the long queue and only one seller. Also, I found that 9 pounds were a too high price for the seats that were too small and low to keep a comfortable position for such long sitting still. However, the most important problem is that the film is totally inappropriate for a young audience! In fact, it is a far cry from a 'family comedy' as you billed it! The plot is too complex for young ones and the jokes are adult for them, as well. But the more important point is that the movie contains many scary scenes! My seven-year-old cousin was extremely frightened by some of them, and so were many children in the hall! Also, the child has had nightmares since she watched the film. I hope that, in future, you choose movies to show more carefully to prevent these kinds of situations. Otherwise, I will not attend your fund-raising events anymore. Yours faithfully Anna Gorlova

Trying to practice the idiomes Hi there! I'm studying some new idioms. To learn them better I've composed a sentence with each of thexe expressions. Please, have a look at them and correct me if I used them in the wrong context. Thank you! 1. Our car had broken down on the way to the airport, but it was really a blessing in disguise. Scrolling the news while waiting for a car-service tow truck we found out that the plane crashed in the air. 2. They promised the moon to the people who bought the company's stock! But the firm went belly up soon. (by the way, "to go belly up" - is it a slang, or just informal?) 3. - Have you known that Mary's got married? -I couldn't care less. After what she did she's not my friend anymore. 4. All the tickets were sold out in an hour. Everyone and his brother wanted to see the performance. 5. He always has such a foxy expression on his face, that when I speak to him I can't help feeling he's pulling my leg! 6. - Did you know that our famous morality activist Kate was blamed for drug dealing? - No way, no way! 7. -How are you? - I'm under the weather after my holiday marathone to bars.

Should music be something we listen to, or should we also make music? My task is to answer this question in ~ 200 words. So, here they are: I reckon that making music is one of great ways to have a good time and enrich life with emotions. When I was a child I hated playing piano, because my parents made me to do it, and my teacher seemed to me a total bore. One day I just rebelled and gave up the classes. But when I became older (and smarter) I was sorry of the opportunity that I had lost, because I realized that making music is one of great ways to express your feelings and to get what we call "aesthetic pleasure". Making music also helps to become more focused on the present time, on what you're doing just now. I can watch TV while knitting, I can eat while reading, etc... But it's very difficult - I would say impossible - to be distracted while playing music. Body and mind are concentrating on what they do together at the moment of making music. This concentration is the thing that I usually lack of in my everyday life. So, I am definitely sure that making music can make people'l life better (maybe with exception of their neighbours, if soundproofing is not enough). the picture is taken from theguardian.com

Please, help me to fill in my profile on a language exchange site This is what I want to say: ----I'm sorry I often can't respond to messages immediately, as my job takes most of my day. I usually come here on weekday evenings. I'm not looking for dating and romance here. I have a beloved boyfriend, he uses this web-site, too. I would prefer communicating in physical space, but the Internet is my only opportunity to talk to native English speakers. If I want to practice English with non-natives, I go to a local speaking-club meeting, or talk to my classmates ( I take English classes at a language school two times a week).---- Please guys correct my mistakes and tell me whether it sounds polite and easy to understand, or not.

Trying to watch a movie in English Please correct my mistakes )) It's a little note on the movie "The Usual Suspects" I purposely escaped reading any reviews and annotations to that thriller before watching it. But... I couldn't get through the whole movie! Its vocabulary turned out to be too complex for my English level. After about forty minutes of watching I felt tired of trying to make out the words and I began to lose track of the plot. The next day I had lack of patience. So I watched the movie in Russian. I really liked it! It's a gripping film with a brilliant twist! But, you know, if I got through it in original, I definitely wouldn't be able to understand it.
