Improving my English

Lesson II: A nice story...

Here i am again. I´ve just finished my english lesson for today. Two important considerations:

a) In this chapter Daniel has a memory elephant and he met Miranda for the first time (she must be his future wife): so i think the story will be longer that i thinked before (how many chapters i missed the last week???) and Saito and Van Owen did not appear in the scene yet.

b) I have to compose a story with the following words: "Fall in love", "Get engaged" "Get married", "Wedding", "Church", "Bridegroom", "Bride", "Best man" and "honeymoon". [ironic  mode on] wow! what a complex story. With this training i will be a powerfull writter, like Paulo Coelho, more or less. [ironic  mode off]

So i could be easy going or i could be acid. Yesssss.... all of you know what´s my style... so i´m going to start with the composition:

"Daniel is a lax man that wears box pants and argyle shirt (note to lectors: i had to use Google Translator to find the  word "argyle"). One day he went to his boring job when he saw someone through the window of a shop. "WOW" - Daniel said in a show of expression, very typical of males - and suddenly he falls inlove (here we are the first word given).

During three months Daniel went to his job with a smile on his face and thinking that she should be the mother of his nine sons. He starts to take care his physical appearance: he bought new clothes (like dots shirts and cocodrile shoes) in order to be the best man (the second word) for her.

One day he went to a bar and order two whiskeys, five hot shots and eight beers and after shout to the barman: "I´ll go to ask her if she wants to get married with me" (3rd word) he decided to go to the shop (Note: you don´t have to feel sad for the patient waitress, they receive some extra money to support).

So Daniel goes to the jewelry shop and he buys the best ring. But the alcohol effects start to decrease and he is afraid so he gets into the shop and put the ring in her bag with the following note: "Dear angel, i´m determined to get married with you (or must be against you??) but i´m so shy so, please, take this ring, the symbol of my love to accept  my proposal. But if you don´t want to get engaged with me, please give me back the ring, that was so expensive, just the same amount of money that the "Home English" courses. You could found me by the following address "1st avenue heartbreak".

And then he spent the afternoon visiting the nearest church, searching his bridegroom dress, planning their wedding and looking or the best  shops brides (ho ho ho... i´ve just crushed the word´s list!)

The following day a strong noise wake up our friend. He opened the door and suddenly, two doctors and three cops tied him and conduced him to a big and white building. He just could see the text written in the entry: "Psychiatrist"

It should be a mistake - shouted Daniel all the time.

Yes my friend, but don´t you worry!, you are going to spent your honeymoon (my last word) without any cost.

But what i´ve done to being here? - ask Daniel

"Well, all of us are thinking that is the best place to stay for someone that wants to get married with the shop dummy"

Lesson I: we meet again

Well...here i am again, but  in another language... this time i couldn´t be so much descriptive: my english grammar and all my vocabulary is not enough to express all that i want (so sorry about all mistakes you will find into the sucessive stories)...so, what a pity! but i couldn´t be metaphorical, maybe i won´t be funny ... but this is the most useful thing that i´ve done since a long time ago!

Today i went down to my storage room (storage room...wow i thought this was just a place to save documents for mi pc...), as i was saying... i went down to my storage room, i´ve cleaned the powder coating and.. tachán... the complete collection of "Home english Natural Way"... a really jewel that i bought a long time ago. A jewel but not due to the shining. A jewel because it was really really really expensive. I removed the seal and a miracle came into my eyes: 12 kilos of knowledge about the language that speak into the great british island. And now where should i start?

Upstairs, inside the home: "Well, the first audio cd" (inside my mind: Relax Belén, do not panic. It doesn´t bites). Play.

Bla, bla, bla,bla,bla,bla,bla .... WTF??? (an universal expression) ... valerian...

Here again, now push play again...

A horrible story about Daniel. Daniel is a sensible man that have lost his mind. "Miserable man"  -  works my brain, "I´m sure you´ve done it conciousness". Ok, says my right cerebral hemisphere, "You don´t met Daniel. Don´t be so misconceived. You shouldn´t juzge him"

So the story continues: A sensible man that lost his mind and is not able to remember anything: his wife, his house, his job. Well, now i´m thinking that Daniel is so much clever than the others. Well done Daniel! Now you could go to the Bahamas Islands and spend your time counting waves (is my unreachable profession). Suddenly Van Owen and Saito are decide to kill him. My brain is collapse. Who are they? and why? ... I think the story goes so fast.

And i review the "Home English Natural Way" box.. and i discover i´ve selected the penultimate audio cd!!!. Brilliant! I´ve just destroy history to myself. Well, it doesn´t matter. I´ll make a backforward of Daniel´s life. A double challenge!! Learning english with my own rules!!

The first lesson that i achieve is: "He who laughs last is the last to get the joke". Well done Daniel, you´ve been clever than me so i will see you tomorrow (and i´ll invite Van Owen and Saito)
