Re: Correcting mistakes

Hello everybody,

At the first I want to thank you for your help and to apologize before
Harut for that I didn't answered - but now I'am having some problems with my
mail and I'am receiving only a part of the messages.
I met origin of a old expression:

BREAK THE ICE

"Pierre was very shy when he met Cindy. He didn't know how to break the
ice".

Meaning: to overcome the first awkward difficulties in a social situation by
a friendly gesture; to ease the nervousness in a situation.

Origin: As early as the late 1500s and early 1600s, writers like Shakespeare
were using this expression. It originally came from navigation through
waterways frozen over with ice. Special boats had to break through the ice,
clearing the way before any ships could sail. The meaning was transferred to
getting a conversation started or making an acquaintance. "Ice" in this
idiom represents a cold or awkward feeling among people, especially
strangers.

Andrew.

Fw: Correcting mistakes

Harut, nice try!

I shall correct the first one - there are two common used expressions:
take care of smbd (what means - беречь, приглядывать итд)
and look after (what means - воспитывать)
SO: We took care of their cat....

I am not sure with the second sentence, but it looks like there is a mistake
in preposition. I would say - buy in the supermarket. Correct me if I am
wrong.

Have a nice weekend!

Дискуссионный лист "Давайте изучать английский язык вместе"
Good Day dear Andrew

I sorry, yesterday I havn't time to write You. I read your "Correcting
mistakes",
but I had to leave of my office.

I am thinking that in sentece "1. We took care after their cat for a week."
is
incorrect the word "after", it is needed to change on word "about". :)

And in senteces "2. Don't worry. I'll by some bread at the supermarket." is
incorrect
the word "by", and it is needed to change on word "buy" .

I should be very grateful if you would be so kind to tell me => had I made
the
exercises correctly or not?
thanks beforhand
Harut

about mistakes

Harut, я бы хотел показать ошибки в Вашем письме и прокоментировать его.

>> Good Day dear Andrew

Никогда не говорите так! Лучше просто - Dear Andrew,

>> I sorry, yesterday I havn't time to write You.

В каждом предложении должно быть подлежащее и сказуемое. Поэтому здесь требуется
вспомогательный глагол - в данном случае AM - I am sorry.

Дело происходило вчера, значит надо использовать прошедшее время I didn't have
time.

>> I read your "Correcting mistakes", but I had to leave of my office.

После leave не используется of.

I am thinking that in sentece "1. We took care after their cat for a week."
is incorrect the word "after", it is needed to change on word "about". :)

>> sentece - ошибка в написании
care after - абсолютно бессмысленно
care about=волноваться(ся)
Так что остается вариант care for - присматривать = look after
>> it is needed to change on
- небольшая ошибка, но лучше звучит it needs to be changed to

And in senteces "2. Don't worry. I'll by some bread at the supermarket." is
incorrect the word "by", and it is needed to change on word "buy" .

та же ошибка

I should be very grateful if you would be so kind to tell me => had I made
the exercises correctly or not?

>> I should be
значит "мне следует", поэтому лучше I would be ...
>> Если Вы автор учебника, то Вы make exercises, если Вы выполняете упражнения
как учащийся, то Вы do exercises.

Комментарии.
ОЧЕНЬ много ошибок. Даже в простейших предложениях. Не знаю, от невнимательности
или от незнания. Но ... всё, что Вы пишите, понятно. Так что для коммуникации
это худо-бедно пойдет. Главное, что Вы пытаетесь работать над своим английским.

Успехов!

Сергей
