Re: Correcting mistakes

When asked if this or that sentence is correct, I try to recall in my head
the situations where such expression could be used. However I do not
have practice of living in english speaking country. So, when speaking
I always have feeling that the sentence sounds very ugly.

This brings me to idea of writing "short stories", demonstrating the usage
of this or that expression and binding it with concreet reality of the
country.

I think, such methode will be very usefull for all who wishes to brush up
his/her
English.
