In your note: Tell Julie where your school is. say which teacher you like best and why Hey Julie, I thought I'd write to you a note about my new school which I've been going to for a week now. It is just outside the city on a hill in front of the woods. A psychiatric hospital and several shops are nearby down the road. So far the chemistry teacher is my favorite. She's friendly and understanding. I'll write again soon. Homeyra 2. An email: Going to the cinema You and two friends are going to go to the cinema at the weekend. You want to invite your friend, Alex, to go with you. Write an email to Alex.

How to improve my listening

Hi everyone!

I need some suggestions to improve my listening skill. I've tried watching movies and listening to audio books, but for some reason I usually get annoyed and bored.

When watching a movie,

- if a higher level of listening than my own is needed to understand what's being said, I feel annoyed because I also want to enjoy the movie! I realized that I should find something close to my own level. I wonder where to start.

- if I use English subtitles, I can understand the movie much better, but then it seems like I'm improving my reading skill rather than listening! I realized that I'd better not use subtitles.

When listening to an audio book, I almost always get bored immediately because I don't find myself interested in the topic. It takes a lot of effort for me to comcentrate.

Please share your experiences with me. I'd be glad to hear about it. Any tip or suggestion is appreciated.

Is it OK to say "Are you not thirsty" instead of "Aren't you thirsty?"? I've seen this structure in novel and poetry.

What does she sing at the end of this verse? Hi! There is this song "Mistrust" by "Die Verbannten Kinder Evas", which I do have the lyrics but there is one part I don't get. It sounds like she is singing something different from the lyrics. The third verse says: If she for this, with clouds do mask her eyes And make the heavens dark with her disdain, with her disdain With windy sights, disperse them in the skies Or with thy tears dissolve them into rain I don't understand the end of the verse, Or with thy tears dissolve them in...? I can't relate what I hear to the lyrics (in fact I have no idea what she is singing there at all). You can listen to the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLIsoj4nnXg

What does "haunt through" mean? Hi! I hear it in this part of a song: "You're the ghost haunting through her heart" I know what "haunt" means as an action done by a ghost; A ghost can haunt a person, for instance. But what does "haunt through" mean? I think the lyrics simply say that her heart is haunted by a ghost. If so, can we not say "You're the ghost haunting her heart" instead? Then it's the role of "through" that I don't understand.
