01.28.07 (8:53 am)   [edit]

Today I've written a narrative composition and I've published it on a forum "English only". I 've asked people to check it. There were not a lot of mistakes. So today I've done my English written homework, haven't I ?

 
Saturday
01.27.07 (11:08 am)   [edit]

It's only 8 pm at me and I'm tired. After a day spent with my children I'm tired in the evening. No possibility to do something more serious.But fortunately today I've done a great deal of execises. I've almost finished unit 1 of my manual. I've enjoyed it.

My elder son is still caughing. His health worries me. But I hope it won't end by something grave.

Today my son has done a lot of things, he has written plenty of letters. He writes more and more better. Well, he copies letters for instance.

I've put order in my children's toys. We have thrown a lot.

I have problems with English tenses.

 
Friday
01.26.07 (2:40 pm)   [edit]

I am a bit angry, maybe more than a bit. Today I went to women's meeting and let my sons with my husband. They are a little ill. But now the elder is coughing much more. My husband admitted than when our son slept in the afternoon, he let him uncovered. :( So I can't count than he is able to care about children as I would like. The health of my sons is very important for me and it is very stressful for me. But let's hope it will finish well.

Apart from that the meeting at my colleague's was fine.

Today I've started to work with "First Certificate STAR". Exciting:)

 
How to do paragraphs?
01.25.07 (11:53 am)   [edit]

I can't do paragraphs here. It's really annoying!

Writing without paragraphs? I don't like it.

 So I try..

 
Just a kind of exercise
01.25.07 (11:49 am)   [edit]

Well, today I've finished revising "True to life". I'm glad because now I can start something new, so more interesting.

 I decided that I have to write here every day, although several sentences. No important how interesting or boring it will be. I'm not writing to be read but rather to exercise, to use my English in writing. Of course it would be better, it would be living if I wrote with someone and not to myself. But now I don't have time and persistence to look for somebody I would like to write with, I would go on with well.

I decided also to watch TV in English although 15 minutes a day. I watch BBC World or Euronews. It's the most interesting. I think that's much better that to watch Arabian, Indian or French TV, even in English. Watching them I could learn rather strang accent;) So I'm very glad to have a satellite and I profit from that. I'm glad because I understand a lot. Of course I don't understand a lot neither:) Sometimes I understand most of the words but I can't catch the sense in general. But I hope that watching TV regularly I will improve my understanding in English.

Apart from that I decided to read a book in English, although one page a day (or more:). I know that it would be maybe more profitable to read some magazines or newspapers but I prefer books. I love books and I am not very keen on newspapers or magazines. So now I'm reading "Life of Pie". I understand a lot. Not every word, not every sentence but enough to understand the sense. Of course it's easier because I read this book in Polish some time ago but it was rather long time ago (a year or two?).

Now I have to stop. I have to ring my sister up. She has sent a letter to my son with some presents (books and the like). It's really nice. Now my son is doing some drawings for his aunt and uncle.

 
Without any title
01.24.07 (1:20 pm)   [edit]
I should write English every day, but I am too lazy. When I was young, it was easier because I liked very much writing letters. Now I write letters very seldom. On the other hand, I listen more. I've bought a satellite dish and I can watch BBC World and Euronews. I've tried to learn English with my old books, True to life. I've been reviewing lessons. The books are good and interesting, but I feel like beginning something new. My sons are ill. Now they are in bed but they haven't been asleep yet. The younger is coughing. It makes me sad. My English upsets me too. I know that I do so may mistakes. No important, I shouldn't think about this but do my best. Ok, I have to stop. My husband has asked me to play with him.
 
What should I do
12.29.06 (1:21 pm)   [edit]
I should write more in English. But I am lazy and writing in foreign language requires some effort, sometimes a lot of effort. I need stronger motivation to do it. Not write just to write but if it was just the instrument to communicate, exchange ideas, information... I should find English spoken friends. But I am too old to look for new friends. I don't have this need no more, as it was when I was an adolescent and I wanted to find friends from all over the world. I was interested in other people's life. Now I am a little bored of it. It is no easy at all to find people who are interesting to me, who I would like to speak with. Maybe I should look for some blogs from UK. American culture is too strange, different for me and it may be more difficult to find friends here. But maybe I am wrong. People are same and different here and there. The problem is to find these ones we get on well with.
 
Lazy
12.28.06 (8:06 am)   [edit]
I am too lazy to write:(
 
Justice?
12.18.06 (2:35 am)   [edit]
I didn't sleep enough this night. My son woke up at 4 am and he didn't want to sleep. He was talking, laughing and he didn't let mi to sleep during 2 hours. After that I had to get up at 7 and he slept till 9.30. Now the whole day I will be helf-conscious.
 
Free time
12.17.06 (1:39 pm)   [edit]
My sons are sleeping. I have free time and I can be quiet and do what I want. I learnt a little and now I think what to do. Maybe I will read a little. I bought "Life of Pi" in original. (I had read this book some time ago in Polish). It's terrific! But I borrowed also another book from my pupil. Short stories by Marquez (not in original version, but in Polish). So I should read this one and give it back. It's written in original way.
 
Life's little chores
12.17.06 (8:38 am)   [edit]
I don't have time to study, no time to write. Life's little chores - it's my life. Christmas is coming. Yesterday evening I wraped up all Christmas parcels. It took me more than hour, but it was nice. I liked well wraped parcels. It looks so well. I think that everybody like receiving gifts. You look a parcel and you enjoy it even more before unpacking it than after:)
 
My coccinella's blog is still living?
12.15.06 (11:32 am)   [edit]
How strange. I haven't been here for so a long time. I didn't think this blog still exists. I almost forgot how to enter here (I've had some problems to do it). I gave up studying English so long time ago, I gave up this blog. But a month and a half ago I starded again to study English. So maybe it's also a good occasion to start again writing this diary. For myself. A good exercise.
 
A good day
11.29.03 (3:53 pm)   [edit]
It's time to go to bed. It was a good day. I have done some things that I had to do. I've rested also. I've been reading a book. I've learnt a little.
I promised me not to be stressed that I don't have time to study more.
One thing is not good. My husband is returning to home without our son. He's left him to my mother and he cann't take him because our car had broken down :(
 
No time
11.26.03 (1:56 pm)   [edit]
For some days I haven't got time to study English. I've been working and working. I don't like that. I want to have some time for me, also.
But I try to write here every day, even some words.
 
After parents' meeting
11.25.03 (3:19 pm)   [edit]
I'm very tired. I've had parents' meeting. I hate it.
I work in a kind of private school and the parents are unrestrained (they think that if they pay, they can all).
But today it was ok, nobody attacted me.
I'm still living.
 
Normal or ill
11.23.03 (1:39 pm)   [edit]
Is it really strange that I don't like the idea that I stand at home and my husband goes to the cinema with our friend (woman!) ? I'm not suspecious, I'm not jealous in this sense that I suppose there are some bad relation between them. But I don't like this idea that my husband goes to the pictures with another woman than me. So I told him: go there, you can go there even with her, but another man more:) So they have taken her friend (man) more.
 
A good husband
11.23.03 (1:31 pm)   [edit]
My husband has gone to the cinema to see "Matrix Revolution". I didn't want seeing it and on the other hand I couldn't - somebody has to stand at home with our son.
So my husband had bought icecream, chocolate for me, he had borrowed "8 women" in video cassette and he has gone.
PS. I have some problems with English tenses, but I hope you can understand my ideas.
 
Lazy Saturday and Sunday
11.23.03 (9:57 am)   [edit]
Today I'm too lazy to do something useful. I haven't studied English this weekend :(
I haven't done anything interesting either.
The only unusual thing - there are my ideas about catholic church in Poland. It's too complicated to explain it here. Maybe I'll do it on my Polish blog. But not today. Today I'm too lazy ...
 
Happy birthday ...
11.21.03 (2:58 pm)   [edit]
Tomorrow I'm going to go with my family to my parents-in-law. My husband's grand-mother had yesterday her 90 birthday.
 
I'm stupid
11.21.03 (2:51 pm)   [edit]
I'm stupid. I've spent my evening, Friday evening on working, on preparing papers for parents' meeeting, on preparing myself to classes. At the end, I told me: stop. Weekend is to rest. Don't exagerate.
 
I like dreaming
11.20.03 (4:32 pm)   [edit]
There is one thing that I can do to realise my dream. I have to become English teacher. And in this case it would be easy to find a job in a primary school. It's easy now. Perhaps in some time it won't be.
The problem is that it is not easy to become English teacher. I should finish English colleage or pass Advanced Certificated. For now - completely impossible, but if I work some years ... Who know?
 
Job for me
11.20.03 (4:26 pm)   [edit]
Until today I was thinking and saying that my dream, the work for me, is the work in a library. Because I like books, because it's quiet there. But today I've thought that I'd like to work as a teacher. It's a work for me. But only in a primary school. I like it and children are nice and grateful.
Actually I've been working in a primary school and in a grammar-school. And I should be happy because it's difficult to find a job as a French teacher in my city (which is not so big). I haven't the possibility to work only in a primary school. There're very few primary schools with French and I can't have only a part-time job (I'd like very much but it's impossible because of money :(
 
It's not my hobby to read students' tests or papers
11.20.03 (4:15 pm)   [edit]
I'm a teacher. I've been working for 7 years. I can't say that I really enjoy of my job. There are advantages and desadvantages of this work, thre are good moments, there're problems. I'm not really satisfied of my job.
This year I work really hard. I am well organised, prepared, I work a lot at home. I am more glad of me, but not of my pupils. They're still ungrateful, maybe even more, because they don't like test, homework, papers to do. Someone thinks that it's my hobby to read their tests or papers;) And I really don't like it, but I have a sense of duty.
 
Ungrateful
11.19.03 (7:17 am)   [edit]
I'd like to say that my pupils are ungrateful. Sometimes they are rude.
I like working with children in primary school (10-11 years old; unfortunately I don't teach younger pupils). This year also my 12 years pupils are nice. But after, in a colleage .. It's not nice to work with them. There are always bored, sometimes rude, ungrateful.
 
I like reading
11.19.03 (7:07 am)   [edit]
I finished the book yesterday, of course. A Chrisitie book is for one - two evenings.
I like reading and I don't imagine my life without books. I prefer books than films or computer.
Now I'm going to read a book of Pratchett "Small goods". It will be reading for more than one or two days;)
