Певец по имени Yoav - идеальный трубадур двадцать первого века. Он не просто человек-оркестр, но человек-студия: звучанию, которое он создаёт на сцене в одиночку при помощи одной лишь гитары и голоса, позавидует не только любая группа, но и любой саунд продюсер. Он не знает границ ни музыкальных, ни географических - родился в Израиле, вырос в Кейптауне (ЮАР), сейчас равномерно
распределен между Монреалем и Лондоном. Его стиль своеобразен и узнаваем.

A Scottish man was at a baseball game.
It was the first time he had ever seen the sport so he sat quietly. The first batter approached the plate, took a few swings and then hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run, Run!"
This happened two more times, with a single and a triple. The Scottish man was now excited and ready to get into the game.
The next batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "walk" and the batter started on a slow trot to first. The Scotsman, extremely excited now, stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run ye basstarrd, rrrun!"
Everyone around him started laughing. So the Scotsman, extremely embarrassed, sat back down. A friendly fan, seeing the Scotsman's embarrassment, leaned over and said, "He can't run - he got four balls."
The Scotsman then stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, man...walk with pride!"

A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him.
"Why do we have to learn this stuff?" The young man blurted out.
"To save lives," the professor responded before continuing the lecture.
A few minutes later the student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?"
The professor stared at the student for a long time. "Physics saves lives," he said, "because it keeps the idiots out of medical school."
Good is an adjective and well is an adverb. Many people, including many native speakers, incorrectly use the adjective form good, rather than the adverb well.
(Хорошо - это прилагательное, а также является наречием. Многие люди, даже носителей языка, неправильно используют формы good и well.)
Examples:
I did good on the test. (incorrect!)
Correct form: I did well on the test.
She played the game good. (incorrect!)
Correct form: She played the game well.
Use the adjective form good when describing something or someone. In other words, use good when stating how something or someone is.
(Используйте форму good описывая что-то или кого-то. С другими словами используйте good сообщая о состоянии кого-то или чего-то.)

She is a good tennis player.

Use the adverb form well when describing how something or someone does something.
