Oh, almost forgot about Harry Potter books, they are easy to read and understand. Pretty good for learning english.
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer? Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding. Older Woman: Oh, I see. Officer: Can I see your license please? Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one. Officer: Don't have one? Olde r Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving. Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please. Older Woman: I can't do that. Officer: Why not? Older Woman: I stole this car. Officer: Stole it? Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner. Officer: You what? Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see. The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun. Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle. Older woman: Is there a problem sir? Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner. Older Woman: Murdered the owner? Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please. The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk. Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am? Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned. Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a drivers license. The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled. Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner. Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!!!!
PS: If something looks confusing and you want to know what it means – feel free to ask questions… rock
Arsgera, I noticed something interesting in your writing. It looks like you are trying to shorten and abbreviate some words. I can tell you that it is very common to have writing mistakes but it is very un-common to abbreviate (unless you are sending a text massage) or invent your own words. Usually people are not patient enough to be “decoding” someone’s writing.
Arsgera, Nothing to be sorry about! Just a little thing I noticed. Do you study English on your own? The reason I am asking is that I would think that the teacher of British English would not be so tolerant on the things you love to do. It is very conservative language.
Arsgera писал:Do you prefer British or American English?
I love British accent! You have to make extra effort to understand it and all but it sounds n-i-c-e! But I have to say that American English is my favorite. It is less formal and people are lots more tolerant about it!
