"hands" and "arms" I never thought before, what is the difference between "hands" and "arms". And I was really surprised, when I read that the "hand" - is a part from the wrist to the fingertips, and that the "arm" - is a part from the shoulder to the wrist. In Russian we say just "рука" in both cases :). So, if I understand it correctly, I can't say: "He hugged me with his big strong hands". I should say: "He hugged me with his big strong arms"? Please, check my little exercise with "hands" and "arms": 1. This doll has too long ARMS. 2. He broke his ARM. 3. Are your HANDS clean? 4. She pulled her ARM in training. 5. Give me your HAND. 6. I hold the bags in my HANDS. .

Body Parts Recently I started to read English fairy-tales. It is easy to understand, and at the same time there is a rich vocabulary, many authentic figures of speech in it. English fairy-tales are not like Russian tales at all! For me they are more dark and creepy, more mysterious and magical. And I love them a lot. One of the fairy-tales I read was "The Strange Visitor". It is about one woman (and she is a little bit crazy, I think), which sitting at home alone in the night and wants someone to visit her. And, as she wished, one very strange and creepy visitor came to her. It wasn't a human. It was some kind of ghost or other supernatural creation. It came to her not bodily, he came part by part, starting with the soles. And this crazy woman didn't afraid of him! She talked to him and asked him questions about his strange body parts. At the end of the story he told her, that he had come for her. And I think, he killed her after that (but there is nothing about it in tale). I think this "children's fairy-tale" might be a cool plot for horror movie :))). In term of learning English, this fairy-tale is very valuable to learn body parts. P.S. Please check my text for mistakes. Thanx. .

Unusual skills :) Recently I understood that I want to learn something new. That’s why I restart to learn English and Spanish, which I learned many years ago at school. But I think that besides useful skills (like languages), it’s cool to have some unusual skills. So a few weeks ago I started to learn juggling! And I'm already pretty good at it ))). But I don’t have special juggling balls yet (I ordered them in internet-shop, but they haven't arrived yet), so while I use POTATOES for juggling! :)))) Believe me, it’s very fun. And I think juggling with potatoes is even more difficult than juggling with balls )). I already can juggle them 16-20 times. My goal is – 24 juggles. What unusual skills do you have? And what unusual skills would you like to learn? I’ll be waiting for your answers in comments. Bye! :) .
