ENGLISH vocabulary game 3
I decided to start writing a new type of essay which is related to my current vocabulary notebook. I've written and continue to write up to 30 words and phrases on each page of my notebook and I'm going to use them in one essay. One page of the vocabulary notebook - one essay. I am not sure if I can keep that up for long, but I believe it will help me to practice my English better. It will be a really wild mix of arbitrary words in one essay. I'll start with the first pages of the notepad.
Today I'll train the following words from my written wordbook:
glamorous, firm, nature, cluster, second nature, charming, speaking frankly, shaft, inanimate, comforts of home, consecutive, bell, decay, heads or tails, feature, in my opinion, that's why, viewpoint, handyman, heavy-duty, as for me, habit, toss.
A story (a tall one):
Ages ago a friend of mine used to work in a tourism company for two months. Two months is not a perceptible term to talk about, but not in his case. It was a time full of CHARMING NATURE, every day for a couple of weeks. As he was telling me the story, I started to envy him a bit, SPEAKING FRANKLY.
The company he worked for, conducts a lottery every six months for its workers. And it doesn't matter if you are a rookie, or you've been working there for years, or a silent goldfish in an aquarium, or even an INANIMATE picture on the wall. Everyone gets implicated. So, my friend, let's name him Jack, won the lottery on his first official day. It was a chance for a million. The same day his superiors organized a GLAMOROUS party and presented him the award. It was a travel package to one of the forests in Europe which is located in three countries concurrently. The next day Jack immediately started gathering all the necessary documents for a visa and three weeks after he finally went to the place of stay.
The first thing he noticed in his hotel room was a lack of COMFORTS OF HOME. It seemed like the hotel authority deceived the company about luxurious conditions. THAT'S WHY it is important to check the reviews of the hotel on specialized web resources. Besides a DECAYING CLUSTER of leaves in the corner, there was only a single bed, one chair, and a small half-broken table with a BELL on it. Yes, just a bell, a tiny mechanic bell, which is typically hung up near the door. And yet, the room had a FEATURE - a big window with a tremendous view of a forested mountain ridge. In my opinion, Jack won the second lottery at that moment.
On his first day after having a shower, Jack went upstairs to the roof of the hotel and found out that there were 360 degrees of VIEWPOINT stand. It was a 3 meters long tapered area extended beyond the main roof. Before the tourism company, Jack earned his bread and butter by being HANDYMAN. He had drilled SHAFTS and installed various HEAVY-DUTY equipment. An experience accumulated so far helped him instantly observe that the viewpoint stand wasn't FIRM and even dangerous. Noticing such dangerous situations is SECOND NATURE to him after a construction job. In spite of his immense desire to step on the stand, he decided not to TOSS a coin and play HEADS OR TALES with fate and turned back to his room.
The next 10 CONSECUTIVE days he spent in the forest. However, this is already another story. AS FOR ME, my view of the story is having a sustainable HABIT of spending time in nature at least once a year is better than getting out into nature by winning the lottery or a TOSS.

I decided to start writing a new type of essay whichthat is related to the vocabulary in my current vocabulary notebook.
I understand what your are saying with a vocabulary notebook. I added 'the vocabulary' in because it would make it flow easier into the next sentence.
I've written and continue tobeen writeing up to 30 words and phrases on each page of my notebook and I'm going to use them in onea page per essay.
'I've been -ing' is a past and ongoing action. I replaced 'to use them in one essay' to 'to use a page per essay' to make it more clearer.
One page of the vocabulary notebook -equals one essay.
With how I revised the sentence from before, this would be repetitive.
I am not sure if I can keep thait up for long, but I believe it will help me to practice my English better.
It will be a really wild mix of arbitrary words in one essay.
I'll start with the first pages of the notepad.
Today, I'll tprainctice with the following words from my written wordbook:
It was a time full of CHARMING NATURE, every day for a couple of weeks.
'Charming nature' is like a loveable/likeable aura of a person or thing. I would not use it to describe a time. Rather, I would describe the company workplace with it.
As he was telling me the story, I started to envy him a bit, SPEAKING FRANKLYfrankly speaking.
'Speaking frankly' is used when talking about someone literally speaking in a curt and direct way. 'He was speaking frankly with me.' 'Frankly speaking' or 'to be frank' is used after you say or think something that is curt.
The company he worked for, conducts a lottery every six months for its workers.
And it doesn't matter if you are a rookie, or you've been working there for years, or a silent goldfish in an aquarium, or even an INANIMATE picture on the wall.

Feedback
I had a similar idea. I am studying right now from reading and copying the sentences down. In my notebook I have the foreign language on a left piece of paper and the translation to a right piece of paper. Both have underlines and notes corresponding to new words or phrases.
