Alright, let's make it more SIMPLE "Избранное." Я люблю смотреть фильмы. Мои любимые фильмы: Phantom the of The Opera, 300, Nosferatu, и I am Legend. Я люблю читать книги. Книги мой лучший друг. Мои любимые книги: Secret Fire (Секретный Огонь), The Book of Lost Things, Edgar and Ellen, и Brother Grimm. Мои любимые цвета: черный, алый, синий. P.S. : How's that? It seems my first extremely short essay was still confusing, so I try to make a new one, which is more simple (I think).

Мой друг дал мне домашнее задание (I'm messing with grammar...again) Мой друг дал мне домашнее задание. Он хочет, чтобы писать простыми предложениями обо мне. Я девушка. Эта информация очень важна. Люди не верят мне, потому что мой голос. У меня низкий голос, как человек. Люди всегда говорят: "Вы девушка? Я думаю, что вы фальшивка. Ты лжешь". Что ж, теперь у меня есть "простые" Причина, почему я пусть люди видят меня, но никогда не слышал мой голос. Теперь у меня есть "простые" Причина, почему я пусть люди видят меня, но никогда не услышите мой голос. Спасибо.

A little help for English learner POLITE REQUEST: May I – Could I – Can I ------------------------------- May I and Could I are used to request permission. They are equally polite. In a polite request, could has a present or future meaning, not a past meaning. Can I is used informally to request permission, especially if the speaker is talking to someone s/he knows fairly well. Can I is usually not considered as polite as may I or could I. Example: - May I borrow your book (please)? - Could I borrow your book (please)? - Can I borrow your book? Typical responses: Yes, certainly ; Yes, of course ; Sure (informal) Would you – Will you – Could you – Can you ------------------------------------------------------------- The meaning of would you and will you in a polite request is the same. Would you is more common and is often considered more polite. The degree of politeness, however, is often determined by the speaker’s tone of voice. Basically, could you and would you have the same meaning. The difference is slight: Would you = Do you want to do this, please? Could you = Do you want to do this please, and is it possible for you to do this? > Could you and Would you are equally polite. > Can you is often used informally. It usually sounds less polite than Could you or Would you. Example: - Would you pass the salt (please)? - Will you pass the salt (please)? - Could you pass the salt? - Can you pass the salt? Typical response: I’d (I would) be happy to ; Yes, I’d glad to ; Certainly ; Sure (informal). Would you mind ---------------------- Asking permission - Would you mind if I closed the window? - Would you mind if I used the phone? Would you mind if I is followed by the simple past. Meaning: May I close the window? Is it all right if I close the window? Will it cause you any trouble or discomfort if I close the window? Typical responses: No, not at all ; No, of course not ; No, that would be fine. Asking someone else to do something - Would you mind closing the window? - Excuse me? Would you mind repeating that? Would you mind is followed by –ing (a gerund). Meaning: I don’t want to cause you any trouble, but would you please close the window? Would that cause you any inconvenience? Typical response: No, I’d be happy to ; Not at all, I’d be glad to

Русские интересно. I have no idea, about what should I do first in learning Russian. I find that the alphabetic is completely different with Romania alphabet, including its pronunciation. But its still fun every time I got something new. For example like the differences between: Здра́вствуйте. (zdrást-vuj-tye) and Приве́т. (pri-vyét) : Hi. There is a different way how you greet with old people or someone new, and how you greet your friends and children. Its pronunciation is exactly fit with Indonesian language. For now, I make some notes for me to learn. And of course, start from the bassic.
