I began learning the violin when I was nine,and the next year I began studying under Natalie Ghent,who was my teacher until I left high school.
Once,Mrs Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while,I forgot the music. No matter how I tried,I couldn't think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist's music. When the whole concert was over,I cried hiding in my overcoat.
Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert,and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great,as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best tickets as my birthday pres?ent.
Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before,and was impressed by the size as well. I don't re?member what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years,and have been struck by his perform?ance,but I don't remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note,or made some other kind of mistake.
When I teach students to play the violin now,I tell my students who are in dread of making mistakes that if they aren't going to make a mistake,they will never play beautiful music.

The London Eye is a tourist attraction in London,UK. There you get on a capsule (a wheel that goes round) to enjoy a great view of the city of London.
I visited the London Eye in the summer of 2009 with a friend. My friend didn't know where we were heading to. I just told him we would go somewhere very nice. As we arrived at Waterloo station,he had worked out where we were heading to and smiled happily. There was a very long queue,so in order to save time,he stayed in the queue while I collected the tickets.
The capsule doesn't actually stop when people get on,so you have to get into it quickly. Then the door of the capsule closes. The view was spectacular. We took many photos of the view and of ourselves. There were about 10 of us in the capsule and it took about half an hour for it to go round.
If you are interested in going there,I'd like to give you some tips. To en?joy the view,go in the daytime. There are night rides,but you won't see a lot. Beautiful photos are taken of people in the capsule and you can buy them when you get off. The best shots are the ones taken of people standing in front of the door. The photo takes the full view of the capsule with the person. So for a good shot,stay by the door. Ladies―take a scarf. Sometimes the top of the wheel can be quite cool even though it's sunny.
