Talking about Frida Kahlo
Hello everyone,
I have never been an expert in art, so today's speaking class was a little bit difficult for me, though I like paintings and art in general and I enjoy dicussing and expressing my opinion on this or that piece of art or painter.
Today we have been talking about Frida Kahlo, who was a Mexican painter and is famous with her self-portraits. I've heard different opinions on her works, such as she was not so talented and only her tough life is a reason of such high costs of her paintings.
As for me, I tend to an idea, that maybe she was not looking for fame, just wanted to express yourself and feelings. And, as some people prefer writing notebook entries and write diaries, others write stories or poems, and for her painting was just a tool or a way to speak out.
Her saying has stucked in my head: Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
Thank you!

When does it become native?
I have been learning English for the whole of my life I seem, but still, it is so difficult to express thoughts in this language. I've noticed I have thoughts in English when I am thinking about anyone who I usually talk to in English too. So if I don't have any clues with someone it's difficult to make sentences. And actually it is really tough to write a text about something if you do not have any feelings to the subject, never thought talked about it in english, never heard the sounds of your voice expressing the emotion about that sunject. So, sometimes, even I speak correctly and confident, my speach can sound kind of robotic and I listen myself like from the other side.
P. S. The photo is not connected with my entry but really warms my heart and give me hope :)

Dear English speakers, would you mind to check it, please :)
Maybe first, I should ask about the reasons of such poor work. If we have some rules, e.g. the time frames for responding, then they should be followed for sure. But there are sometimes some reasons that can disturb to do work properly: personal reasons, such as illness or problems, lack of competence in a particular matter and general reasons, such as an exceeding quantity of input messages per an instructor. Then the actions will be different accordingly. If we can help to improve the situation and if we can’t and if a person wants to be helped or does not. Explaining in simple terms, if an instructor types extremely slow, and the messages are like drifting out there in the darkness, so it can be helped by practice in any of specific app or use of ready-to-answer templates.
Of course, if I see the only factor impending a productive work is a lack of desire to work, I would inform a higher-ranking staff member.

How can we manage to stir up the chat activity between students?
1. Live stream communication.
2. Put a very controversial question.
3. Make feel the students like a family in a group.
4. Kitten's pics? 😊
5. Make them to help each other, e.g. explain something or do a work in a group.
6. Everyday posts about something.
7. Questioning anything that is connected with a subject and can help to improve their skills.
Could someone please check it? I am grateful in advance!!!

Why do hater people hate?
I believe, negative comments and feedbacks often help us to improve ourselves, maybe to see and correct the flaws and gaps. Answering the question, there must be a list of reasons for such things, from a real desire to improve something to just a bad mood or a scrupulous nature of a person. When I asked that question to some people I got different responds such as “they just want it all for themselves so they hate”, “they are not satisfied with their lives”, “the virtual life is a place where such people can throw their negative emotions without being punished”. But I think, it is usually a point of someone’s personal comfort and safety lies in a basis of those negative things. I mean, a student does not know anything and has fear of it, as a result does not feel comfortable so it made him or her negatively comments on it.
But, as a person I met here said, negative things could trigger positive results, kind of eye openers.

Random words
As I have written in my notes before it is an interesting way to learn words is to take few random words and create a story with them. I took this way from one person here.
And my random words today are:
ideal
gravel
stab
reinforce
vegetarian
I know the word 'ideal'. It means something perfect.
I am not sure about words 'gravel', 'stab' and 'reinforce' so I will check it in the diccionary.
And of course I understand the meaning 'vegeterian' that is someone who does not eat meat.
So let's start...
Gravel means little stones on the road.
Stab means the action when you pierce something, for example, or the result of that action.
Reinforce means kind of making something stronger.
Yesterday walking over the grave I was thinking about what if i were a vegetarian. Maybe it would be ideal for me. Sometimes it is painful to think about how the poor animals were stubbed for to be my dinner, for instance. And what is it for? Only just to reinforce my body?
What do you think?
Thanks for reading and correcting.

When you got stuck
Hello everyone!
I'm doing well if someone is interested here.
I am still in the middle of learning and improving of all the languages I've been learning before writing this note. And I can congratulate myself in my stable situation (I should quote the word congratulate here), because I do almost nothing for improving them so I am not improving as a result ...
The two summer months are behind now and I even haven't read anything in English or Spanish or (I can't even talk about this one) Italian. But I've met some interesting people though who are really permanently insistent in their learning languages. And I greedily envy them... And keep stay in my backwater of laziness.
Thanks for your attention.

Something that could happen or not...
Every time you should make a choice between two things. You wake up at 7 or 7.15 every day and think of sleep or not sleep those 15 minutes and it is so stressful to choose. You should choose clothes and food and run or not run in the evening. You should choose work here or there, even you have never thought about work anywhere. You come home and choose eat or not eat after six p.m. First you should choose math or science or maybe art, finally you stop on languages or chemistry ro whatever you want or your parents want. Then you have a caravan of choices which include other options. Yes or no, yes or no, now or tomorrow... someone calls it as a point of priorities. This need of choice is like a big stone in your head and soul.
entry about nothing :)
