Hi,
Yes most of my teachers are native speakers. To be honest, at the beginning, I have done nothing. I kept waiting them to tell us everything. Later on, I understood that most of the work must be done by us, students. I started reading and writing my own stories and by this way I could of increase the amount of vocabulary I have.
I wish I could do more than that. I wish actualy to publish my own book one day.

 

[blacknomi]

Latoof,
Good for you! What kind of book are you going to write?

 

[Latoof]

Hi,

First of all, I would like to specialize in Linguistics. I would like to make some researche on this topic. The book I was talking about, is one that I would like to collect my stories in, when I will be able to write worthe publishing stories, or novels.;-)

Really? That's great!! Did you write the stories happened everyday? Or just imaginary?

Latoof,

I would like to specialize in Linguistics! I self-studied before. I don't like the phonetics part. I love syntax and language acquisition! It's like working on a math problem. Once I anylize the ins oand outs of a sentence, I will bounce like springs! Which part of linguistics do you like?

I am writing whatever seems interesting. I have written some true stories, and some other imaginary ones.
I got a first prize once for a real story. People cried when they heard it.
You can read one of my stories here in the forum. <https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5253&highlight=Latoof>
Enjoy it.

Hi, Latoof

I've read the first one.:up: Great! And I think you could write more to enrich the story. But I'm a little confused about the girl's feeling. Does she love the teacher? Or just want to get father's love from him? If so, I think the teacher can consider to take her as his goddaughter, then, she can survive in the end. :-D Maybe the teacher has also fallen in love with the girl, but he can't accept the truth.

Hope to read more wonderful stories from you!:-D

Regards,
Joe

Hi ion Joe,

Thanks for your comment. I tried to show in the story the psychological side in both the student and the teacher. She feels that she got an image, which seems to her very close to her father's. The same is with the teacher, as he got no children. The problem is that Latifa could not hide her feelings and showed a negative reaction regarding his disppearance; as he was not a citizen in her country. He feels that and consults a therapist who tells him what to do. The teacher, however, did not falls in love with his student. He feels pety ans symapthy toward her.
I wrote different story, actually, and that original one I won the first prize on. That story ends with the teachers death, more than that there is different setting in. I thought about posting the one you read on the forum rather than that one, because I am thinking about publishing the other one. Sometime, someone does not feel comfortable on publishing in public like this.
I may send the story to you on your e-mail, later if you like. I do like the other one more.

Hi dear,
I was about to send you my story, but unforunately the computer where I saved my work has been broken and later on everything has gone.
I will try to type it again and send it to you.

Never mind! Just type it when you're free. Maybe you can save your work in a disk next time. It's much safer.

Thanks for the advice, I hope it came some time earlier!
