A little movie review

texting Do you use just “)” like a smile when you text your friends? Or you use only “:)” ? In Russia we use ) extremely frequently, sometimes we add several ))))) when we mean something amusing. But in my experience English speaking people every time use “:)”.

the pronoun "you" in formal and informal speech In Russian we have two different pronouns for the one being addressed: "ты" for informal conversations, "вы" for formal conversations. In English a desired effect is being achieved by using a context. What kind of the context I need to use in formal and informal speech? And could you give me some examples how you speak with your boss/parents of your friend? How you speak with friends and your sister/brother? Thank you :)

Need your help. Could you correct my entry? HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH AMERICAN LITERATURE Have you heard about Henry Miller? I think he is one of the greatest writers we’ve ever had. He is absolutely incredible. My favorite book of his is “Remember to remember”. As soon as you start reading you feel how much he loves and respects the friends and how amazing people can be, how inspiring art is. The second one of Miller’s books I love is the trilogy of “Rosy Crucifixion”. I found this one by chance for about six years ago and that became one of my favorite novels. Miller's character come across as sometimes naive, sometimes terrible, but he always is fragile and charming, profound and passionate. And finally you deeply get his story abot vulnerability of human being. His manner of writing is marvelous. His style is thoroughly unique. And he also was a talented artist. I can’t even imagine how much gifted the man could be! He made a cultural and spiritual revolution and reinvented literature . It was astonishing to me he had literally changed the game. His literature universe is quintessence of beauty and ugliness of life which come together, achieve harmony and turn into extremely powerful and the most enchanting substance in the world. We’re reading just words, but it feels like music, music of heaven, music of our soul. I hope nowadays a lot of people around the earth read his books and feel the same. I love Henry Miller with all my heart and for me he is the most sophisticated writer in history.

Christmas How many days off do you have for Christmas holidays in UK and US?

Verb “to ask” Hi everyone! Could you explain some of the things I’m hesitant about. If I say “I want to ask it”, does it mean to make a question about something? If I say “I want to ask about/for it”, does it mean to make a request of doing something? Have I written everything grammatically correct?

Verb tenses What tense have I got to use if I want to ask someone about his future plans employing verb “think”? - Do you think about [gerund]/ do you think [to+base form]? or - Are you thinking...? or something else?

Could you help me? Are the words “tough” and “difficult” synonyms? What is the difference between “choose” and “pick”? Do “option” and “variant” have the same meaning?
