Reflection - How to improve your knowledge of English

Challenge:

Once a fraudster divorced me for $ 100 because I doubted my English. Today I will tell  a story and tell you how to prepare my English to travel without hassles.

My scam story began suddenly. In Malaysia, car parking is about 5 floors of the whole  apartment building, the parking place is always dark, but it’s long ago possible to  discern what is happening around. On the 4th floor inside the parking lot, I tried to go  downstairs, got into a car, turned on the lights everything as it should, drove out. As  soon as I approached a bend that would allow me to go down to the floor below,  another car suddenly popped up. I was frightened to quickly stop, but despite this we  all collided. I did not see the car as its headlights were turned off.

In a hurry, I got out of the car, and began to clarify. He began to run over that I was to  blame, but in fact he was to blame because he had his headlights turned off. I could  not say everything that I thought in my own language, since it is Malaysia that nobody  knows the Russian language there. But in English, I could not tell because my English  was not at a high level. and I didn’t know what to do in this case. To stop an unwanted  conversation, you need a few words.

The man began to demand $ 100 as compensation that his car was scratched due to  my mistake. That it's all my fault

Application:

Use not after the verbs to be, to do, or to have to put them in negative form (do not =  don’t, has no = hasn’t, etc.).

If the sentence does not have these verbs, you need to insert the verb to do. The  whole sentence will change a little: now the auxiliary verb will change according to  time, and the semantic verb will become an infinitive (I thought → I didn’t think). Ex:  I’m afraid I don’t like this conversation. I’d better get going.

Insight:

Put it before the noun to deny it. This noun will not need the article (I have a cat. → I  have no cat). Such denial sounds more categorical. It will be useful to us. Ex: Sorry, I  have no cash.

If your interlocutor does not speak English well (for example, in Asian countries) or  does not understand you, the best word is NO. Just NO. Or like this: Ex: Sorry, no.

Approach:

I was ashamed to leave and handed the stranger twenty dollars. Then she herself  didn’t notice how he had asked for more money. It was lucky that after 100 dollars I

had only large bills. They felt sorry for them. My sister was standing next to me, but  she did not intervene because she had a poor understanding of what was happening.

Of course, the men were guilty, and this was evident at first sight. But the fraudster  pressed on, did not stop talking, and I was too confused.

Conclusion:

To be more confident, prepare your English for the journey. Learn on a personal plan. It  contains phrases that are definitely useful, analysis of situations, interactive exercises,  tips on how to get to know the locals, and much more.
