Reading Diary 12.08.2020 (feel free to correct mistakes, thanks!) Learning a language through reading books is a great opportunity to learn many new words. Now I am reading the book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and I want to describe one of the characters, comparing him to the film. Uncle Vernon is a very interesting character. In the book, we are shown that this is just an evil relative who hates Harry. Rowling describes Uncle Vernon as a large, beefy man, with a puple face and small eyes and neck. He screams all the time and glares at Harry. For me, the image in the film is a little softer. Uncle Vernon is just an overweight man. But at the same time, the character perfectly conveys his attitude towards Harry! But I think that Uncle Vernon can be understood too. He is an ordinary Englishman who wanted a quiet life, a good job and a happy family. And, most likely, his hatred for Harry was a reflection of the hatred of Aunt Petunia, who hated her sister and her family.

Grammar 还是 Is it possible to ask like this: 你一个人去北京还是跟朋友一起去 ？ If I want to answer, I don't go alone, don't go with friend, I go with my mom - how should I say?

Subject-predicate sentences I ask you for help about Grammar in Chinese. Quote: In Chinese there is such a kind of sentence in with the predicate is a subject-predicate phrase. Examples: 1. 我身体不太好。 我 is subject of this sentence, 身体不太好 - predicate. 2. 明天天气很好。明天 is subject, 天气很好 - predicate. Why 身体 and 天气 are a part of predicate? I thought that 身体 is subject and 我 definitive (天气 - subject, 明天 - definitive).

Using 些 In my student book I have the next dialogue: - 我身体不太好。天气太热了，不爱吃饭。 - 你多吃些水果，多喝水。 I have a question about part "你多吃些水果". It's translated as "Eat more fruits". But why is it word 些 here, if it means "a few"? I can understand it in the sentence 我想买些水果, but can't understand here.
