There was a man and his name was John. He was 30 years old at that time of my story.                       
I am sure, if COUCH POTETO or  MOUSE POTETO were professions, John would have had been one of the people with one of that kind of professions. John has lived in a big house. He has left the house very seldom. He wasn't that communicative, what means he wasn't a DEIPNOSOPHIST.

John has loved his big house with air condition inside and a TRANSOM outside.
Sometimes friends has visited him, all of them has been as boring as he was, too.
Neither John nor one of his friends had ever had been married; in fact, no one of them had ever had been in love or even on a date.

John has known one of his friends for more than 10 years.
The said friend, named Peter, had a sister.
At that time she was 25 years old and her name was Mary. She has known John too and she liked him. But she has known that John used to spend all his time in front of his computer or TO SLEEP LIKE A LOK. John has thought, Mary was a knockout and he asked her out.

Well, I have bad news. The date was a catastrophe. I will tell you why.

John was waiting for Mary at a bar and he had already ordered a drink. The bar was a well-known and famous student bar. On the wall has hung a few MORTARBOATS, decorated with its LIRIPIPES, and some diplomas. It has belonged to the owners of the bar, a MIXOLOGIST, and his wife, she has been the chef.

Oh sorry...  I am afraid I am going to lose the thread of history... lol !
So I want to go on telling you what has happened with John and Mary.
             
As I told you, John has been in the bar long before Mary wanted to appear. He was too excited about the date and wanted to have a second drink to calm down a little. He wanted only a glass of beer but the big barrel was empty and the bartender has pretended as if the beer was out. Just a last KEG was left and that he had saved already for himself. So John has ordered a drink with lemon juice and Russian wodka. He has thought about Mary and begun to FLIP OVER. He was upset by the bartender and has started a discussion about sence and nonsense of drinking alcohol during the working time.

The discussion has been hot and at the end John has had the impression that the barkeeper maybe has gotten a MORONITY ... but nevertheless he was keeping to give the bartenderTHE SILENT TREATMENT.

During the discussion John has forgotten the date with Mary and he has started to drink more and more... and he hasn't realized that he has started TO SREW UP.
At the end he was drunk like a pig and he has insulted other guests.
On of them has been so angry and has began a brawl with John.

Now it has been enough for the owner of the bar. The proprietress of the bar has came with a ROLLING PIN and has separated the streithons from each other.
What a bad luck for John because right the moment when he has realized that Mary was standing in the door, the owner has hit him on the head and he lost his concious.

He has waked up on a GURNEY at the hospital and Mary had left.
She has left also a little piece of paper with a note on his forehead. There has been written: Your behaviour has been neither a DRY RUN for a date nor a HYPNOBATIA, it has been only embarrassing and ridiculous and it wasn't able  TO AGGRANDIZE your value.


Mary never more has gone on a date with John anymore.

And if you are hinking now my story is just  A BOFFOLA, then you are right ... or maybe not? Who knows!!!

  • Hi, dear Danny, I thank you so much for your comments and the corrections. After I had written the story, I have realized, that I used some experssions wrong. After I did read your explanation a second time was it clear to me ... but it was too late. And: I go with you: I have to pay more attention to the spelling. I should give me more time... I know.

    As always I am very grateful. You spend much time to read and to correct our writings. No words can express our gratitude well enough. When I write "us", then I think I can speak in the name of all whom you help to be better in English.

    Well, I know my story doesn't sound funny, maybe I was too busy to use the words and expressions correctly. Unfortunately I didn't read  

  • Hi, dear Rose! I have got to your story at last. It is a nice story but, unfortunately, it doesn't sound funny. Well, it is not a big deal as your task was to use some special words in your text. You have used most of them correctly. However, I cave to explain something.

    1. A transom is a window above the door to air the house.. It is not OUTSIDE.

    2. TO SLEEP LIKE A LOG, POTATO. Pay attention to the spelling.

    3. It is the second time that you have used a MIXOLIGIST meaning a bartender. Yes, he must be a mixologist, but this word defines any person who is good at mixing drinks.

    4. TO FLIP OVER is a slang phrase meaning to be crazy about something/somebody, to like it very much. For example:

    He flipped over her means that he fell in love with her.

    I flip over this song means that I like it very much.

    So, I haven't got what you mean by that sentence.

    5. TO GIVE THE SILENT TREATMENT means not to talk with somebody, but you said they were having a hit discussion. Besides, in the same sentence you wrote "keeping to give". It is wrong. It must be "keeping on giving".

    6. "He starded to screw up". First, there must be a gerung after START. Besides, you should add something like "He started screwing up everything/the date....".

    7. And, as usual, the tenses are wrong. You should have used only the past tenses.

    I hope, you don't mind my corrections.

    Thank you for your great effort!

  • Hi, dear Evangelina,

    Rose's writing reminds me a teacher whose name is Leyla from Turkey. She is an expert teacher.

    I think a student cannot write the above text.

    Thank you and best wishes,
  • Of course, you are right Evangelina. Thanks for your friendly suggest.
