Part of my day I went to a store before and bought some packs of noodles. Then I wanted to buy a paper spray, but the shop in the shopping center was closed. When I was at the cashbox Sarah called me and offered me to meet. I said I was in the store and if she wanted she could join me.

Increasing vocabulary

Hi all! I am wondering how people populate their vocabulary on high levels? I am learning words via cards on one of the services on the Internet, but I've got there already almost 4000 words! And it would take much time at least to review all of them!

Maybe I should stop learning words and start just reading, listening, watching something in English? And the most frequent words would be memorized by themselves?

Karate boy I missed the first part of the film. There was a boy and it seems he wanted to not to get punched by local boys. There was also a girl and they got along till the moment he came to her actioan as a violin player. Because her parents said to her not to talk to him as he had bad influence on her. His trainer once went with him to the guy who were punched him and told their trainer that they wanna fight on the competition that will take place soon. So he said to his boy later about it and he started to train him. Firstly as the boy came in his garage he dropped his jacket. Then the trainter noticed that and said to him to pick up the jacket and hang it on a hanger. Then he said to drop it again and, put it on and hang it. It longed for a long time and the boy didn't know the meaning of this. Then the master said to him to hang the jacket, but without the jacket. So it was just move. He said to him that all his moves must be strong. The move was actually a block. All the moves were good for fighting. The master had one problem. The car he kept fixing all the time was the car that he was driving when he had an accident. And he lost his family in the accident. Then the master asked him, why were he struggling and kept training in spite of all the failures. The boy said it's up to you to overcome everything and keep moving.

Some sentences Those are just sentences, it's not a story, there is no reference between them :) Daria woke me up messaging me that she can't choose a dress that she was going to wear at a party. When I came there there was absolutely nothing to do. The only thing to do was that book for new clinic. So I started doing it. Then we had small talk about architecture. Kate had an idea of redoing all that stuff with a better one, but wasn't sure which approach she should have chosen. I took a look at her approach, but didn't understand the meaning of it, because it was absolutely the same. I said we should have invited our expert Rob to ask him this question. And we decided to invite him tomorrow plus order some pizza.

My day Today I at last woke up early and made some tasks for work. That was actually cool, I felt easy and didn't want to sleep in the morning. Then I had breakfast, it was porridge. Then I drove to work and I was listening to a podcast while driving. The podcast was about Laravel - a php framework. They were talking about recent changes, updates. Taylor Otwel, the creator of the framework was speaking about updating validators, one of the features he added was validating uniqueness of a field in a database. Also he was talking about his creature - Forge. Also he mentioned a cool feature that would be a cool thing if it was in PHP - methods overloading. The feature allows you to create several methods with the same names, but with different input parameters, so with different functionality. They were also talking about kids. One of the guests of the podcasts was having a baby recently, so he was speaking about difficulties raising a baby and also about awesome things, referred to a baby. Anyway babies are cute ^^ In the evening I made some exercises, learnt some English grammar. PS There is a much difference between working as a nurse and working as a programmer and as my hobby was programming I guess I will stick to programming for a long time.

Thoughts about motivation I hope there are no many mistakes :) but anyway There are so many interesting things in our life and so little time! I'd love to combine work, my hobbies, especially learning languages, hanging out with friends and so on. But I'm limited just 24h a day and there are about 10 hours of work including work itself, riding to work, lunch, about 8 hours of sleep, plus breakfasts, dinners and so on. So, I've got and I suppose most of the people have just about 4-5 free hours a day. But how to use those 5 hours efficiently, to learn languages, to do some your hobbies, to hangout with friends, how to motivate yourself? Hobby is a thing you love, but sometimes there are moments you don't really like or they turns to just a boring routine, for example learning some grammar rules, reading some actually useful stuff, for example about medicine, that will definitely help in my career, but that's so boring sometimes and you stretch reading an article to those 4 hours that supposed to take about an hour, procrastinating. So what would you advice? :)

Thoughts about music Recently I have found out I listen listless music, I mean I have started to understand what I listen to. Actually it turned out most of the songs I listen are about love, though it was rock, principally alternative rock, so they sound like they sing about hell and other stuff. Like they are killing somebody or somebody is killing them or just torturing. But no, mostly they are screaming mostly about love, that somebody dumped them or they have some issues with relationships. As much I listen music as much I understand English speech. Now I am trying to translate music I don’t understand exactly and when I listen it next time it’s much more easy to understand it. Though there are sometimes phrases that even Google doesn’t understand, but it’s very rarely. I used to think when I listened Russian music like what the...are they singing about? That’s a crap. I used to think, like where is deep meaning? Where are deep thoughts? Now I understand English music and I am trying to find music that I really like, not only by like they sound, but also what they sing about. Or I just will switch to music in another language, might be portuguese:) Also not so long time ago, the music application in my phone (it’s like Google music, but Yandex music. Yandex is Russian Google). So it offered me as it said “calm winter music”. In spite of the fact I don’t really like such sets I decided to check that out. In the begin of the song it was okay, it was about love, relationship and so on, like usual. But then I heard something like “wet dicks”. I thought like oh, common, the application couldn’t have offered that, I might just didn’t understand it. But no, it was truth, I understood right. So I can say my listening skills are increasing.

Here is my description of one of great pictures I have no idea what i could to write about. Actually i would like to' describe one picture of one of the greatest drawers of Russia. It called kind of "Three Bogatyris". So Bogatir it's something like superhero of old Russia, very strong man, who defends motherland against enemies. In the picture there are three of them. Both of them are looking on the left and another one, the youngest looks forward, It's summer in the picture and usual, common nature, pines forest behind them, thay are standing on a field with grass,blossoms, so, yes, usual picture of Russian landscape. There is an opinion that these Bogatyris are gathering picture of "heads" of old army. Like they won all enemies and people, while ages tended to give them lots of myth opportunities, features and they became such a Russian heros, moreover not just heros, but heros of lots farytales with dragons and such. But it's another story. Hope it wasnt so bad :)

Intro It has been the fourth year since i started to learn English. I'm a nurse and i like it. I run in the morning everyday. ACtually i have been running for already ten years. I'd like to know more English to be able to travel around the world, to know more about countries, cultures, that's so interesting for me!
