Brevity the soul of wit
This is a famous quotation of a well-known Russian writer, A.P. Chekhov.
We've been pursuing our language goals, practising day and night, communicating with tutors & native speakers, using AI and never think about a power of simple words and structure.
I've prepared a list of famous tragic stories, up to 10 words each.
1. “You've dialled the wrong number,” a familiar voice replied.
2. I met my soul mate. She didn't.
3. - It's our golden wedding. Table for one, please.
4. I brought home roses. The keys didn't fit.
5. It was “Newly-weds” on the broken windscreen.
6. Our bedroom. Two voices. I am knocking.
7. I had jumped down. And then I changed my mind.
8. He's bottle-feeding his wife's killer.
9. A surgeon saves a patient. Patient thanks God.
I prefer to be laconic, concise and efficient not only with my own speaking/writing patterns, but with my teaching approaches as well. If you wish to learn only necessary information, practice with the topics you are interested in, feel free to ping me:)
10. No sooner have I found the best tutor, I've got into a waiting-list. (I know, there are 13 words. As you can see, I can count, too!)
