Hi Mel,(I learned your name via Andy Newton's blog called wordshake winner) The fact that you wrote and spend time is kind of you and it made me happy.And also thanks a lot for your corrections which are really beneficial for me.I’m working as a judge at a penal courts of first instance in ?stanbul,which is the largest,most crowded,hardest,most cosmopolitan and most beautiful city of Turkey.Even though I’ve vorked for sixteen years,somehow I don’t like my job.Because,I couldn’t get used to restricting their freedom by sending people to jails without unhappiness fort hem,even I’m sure they are guilty.I think I’m too tenderhearted to do this job.Therefore,I had had a chance to start from stratch,I wouldn’t chosen it.Compared to yours,I’m not as busy as you even if I have to make about 40 hearings three days a week.it’s comfortable to work nine-to-five.However,it’s quite tiring.Fortunately,tomorrow I’m going to the Island of Gokceada in the Agean Sea in the west of Turkey.There is no devices only except TV during a two-week holiday.I wait to hear from you.(By the way,can the cinemaskope film cause of looking like so skinny of Angelina Jolie?)

There’s a fool moon which can be viewed from terraces throughout Istanbul tonight. Somehow I don’t decide which one is greater beauty and more impressive.Are the glory of magnolia trees or full moon in the sky seen among their leaves.

If it doesn’t distrub you,can you point out my grammatical errors when I send messages,please?For instance,I Wrote in last message”You should have fortune-teller told”.You could explain that ‘In English,there is no pattern”have sbd done”,but “have sth done” can be used instead. I take great pleasure in pointing to correct grammar.This will be beneficial for me.Because I’ve been trying to learn English by on my own for one year and half,or 18 months and I suppose my level is pre-intermediate.Anyway I don’t speak anybody in English.In addition,while writing something in English,I feel like a bird falling into a trap in order not to be able to tell what I say.A bit help me to get rid of this trap.Is English your native language?

Yes.These consonants are exactly insipred by my real name,as you literally guess its vowels.It was your hitting to nail on the head that I really admired.And therefore,I’m ready to believe whatever you tell me what happen to me in the future.Are you interest in such things as astrology and fortune-telling?There is a quite common custom in Turkey.It is coffee fortune-telling.After we drink our coffee together with friends or guests,we turn cup into its plate.After waiting until it is cold,someone who will say looks into the cup and tells you what happen to you in the future by inspiring coffee grounds.While some don’t believe in what is told them,most are seriously affected them.If you drop in on Turkey,you should have fortune-teller told.I’m sure you’ll find it entertaining and interesting.

Hi Mello Thanks for your illuminating answer.Contrary to English,we often use many main werbs(most of them are usually compounded with an auxiliary werb)at the beginning of sentences to strengthen expression like certainty,or senses like determination and anger not only in literature area but also in daily life.Therefore, being translate this kind of structure from Turkish into English is quite difficult.

Dear Mello How are you?I hope you are OK.In my language,usually an ordinary sentence consists of subject+object+verb,but sometimes this word order is reversed.We use verb in beginning of the sentence ,focusing on the action.For instance,We use”see I her”instead of ”I (s)+her(o) see+(v) ”(in English “I see her”).Can you explain me this rule with an example sentence,if it is possible with a few different tenses? Thanks for your tolerance and answer in advance. Best wishes srfgrgl
