I decided to read Twilight - a novel written by Stephenie Meyer. It is a good book. The English is written clearly and easy to understand. I quite like it. I often read it while waiting for train to arrive or when I have free time.
There are such a lot of new words. Some of them can be inferred from context. Some of them can be skipped. I'm planning to buy an e-dictionary but I keep forgetting. I am going to get one this weekend.
It's a story about a girl named Bella who moved from a big city to a small town to live with her father. Her mother remarried and she doesn't want to disturb them. The town is far away from the place where she used to live (so similar to me).
At first, she was bored. The people seem to be rustic though, very friendly. Her appearance was the scandal of this town. Most of them like to talk and make friends with her. The school program seems to be so easy compare to the one she studied. There were a lot of new things that happened to her.
She falls in love, I think. That's so abnormal because the man she loves is very strange. He always helps her but he never wants to be with her. He tries to escape from her and then he looks after her from distance. She wants to talk to him, at least as a good friend. But he never want to be like that.
He saved her life when he pulled her out of a trunk. However, she discovers that he has a supeordinary capability. He is capable of moving in a flash and lifting a real trunk off the ground. She is wondering who is he and what's he trying to do.
I'm anxious to know what happens to them. But I need to finish my work here first. Too many things are waiting for me.
I will come back to the story this evening. See you...

ReplyDeleteI will be going for one this weekend.
“will be going” -> seem incorrectly in this case, perhaps do you mean that you have plan to buy one this weekend ?
The correct (suitable) sentence should be:
I will go to buy one this week.
or
I’m going to buy one this week.
“Will be going” -> the future continuous tense, but can not use in this case. This tense is used to express an activity that will be in progress at a time in the future.
Ex: You will be coding at 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
The town is far way from where she used to live (so similar to me).
-> You miss a place before “where…”
The correct sentence: “The town is far away from the city where she used to live.”
This is set up from 2 sentences:
The town is far away from the city. She used to live there.
The appearing of her was the scandal to the inhabitants in this town.
The appearing of her -> should be “Her appearance”
Because “appearance” is a noun of verb “appear”
The school program seem to be so easy compare to the one she studied.
The school program seemS
Or
The school programS seem
The correct sentence should be: “The school program seems to be easier than the one that she studied.”
That's so abnormal because the man she love is very strange.
…because the man whom she loveS is very strange.
This sentence come from:
The man is very strange. She loveS that man.
-> “that man” is a object, so, we must use “whom” in adjective clause.
He always helps her but he never want to be with her.
->…he never wantS to be…
He tries to escape from her and then he looks after her from distance.
She wants to talk with him, at least as a good friend.
But he never want to be like that.
-> What is the meaning of “to be” here ?
The sentence should be “…he never wantS like that.”
He has capable of moving like a flash and lifting a real trunk off the ground.
“capable” is an adjective, so you can not write “He has capable of moving…”
I think the suitable sentence is “ He can move as a flash or lift a real….”
She is wondering who is he and what's he trying to do.
“… who is he and what's he trying to do.” is in question form.
But in your sentence, after “she is wondering”, we should use positive form.
-> She is wondering who he is and what he’s trying to do.
I'm anxious to know what happens to them. But I need to finish my work here first.
To many things are waiting for me.
-> TOO many…
I will come back to the story this evening.
-> …the story IN this evening…
P/S:
1. You often get mistake with adjective clauses which begin with WHO, WHOM, WHOSE, WHICH, WHERE, WHEN…
So, you should review these in grammar book to make surely.
2. Remember the kind of words in the sentences. Ex:
- After verbs, it should be a NOUN or Noun clause
3. Try to find out the correct noun form of the verb
Well study.
You did me a favor!
