At home

Hello, everybody!
I'm at home again! Not exactly at home, but at work in Russia. I came between Saturday and Sunday, Sunday day was so long! Ner's parents took us from airport, they bring our dog with them, it was so nice! At home we unpacked our bags and go to sleep a bit. In the morning we go to Ashan - an extremely vast shop of everything from TV to eggs.. Then we go to dacha (out city house) and spend there a half hour, I think. We drunk some tee and go home. Go for a walked with dog and then we started sorting a mass of our things... Very long day!
At the end we think up a new method of study, because my English is not very good still...
Today I was in the flat of my sister, we have so different live! Every visits in her place I feel strange feelings about this differences.) We talk a lot and saw photos from my trip, she was the first man who could saw all photos!)

I again choose a smart phone, my father want to present me one.)
Today I tried to connect with Internet from my phone, but it was impossible, so strange!

Nature friends in Marburg

Hello! I realize, that here I have two problems - time and Internet =)
Now I describe our adventure day by day.

First day - Did I write here about landing in Frankfurt? It was so beautiful! Sky was very clear, we could see everything, we saw small houses and cars, they were like toys, then they were bigger and bigger. Trees were absolutely amazing - from grass to big real trees... 

Then we mast go to Marburg by trains. It was difficult to orient in the airport, but we could, at last! We went to another terminal by free sky-train, it was so cool, then we find trail station, but tickets buying was a problem =) Then we buy ticket, find train, but it was stay and didn't go... We should took a new train at Frankfurt central trial station, but we have many time and we decided to go at Mackdac. It was good chance to compare our and German fast food. German menu more understandable, but our more fast =P

Train was very fast, had two stairs, was very clean, there wasn't any vandalism! We was glad to see it. There are two class - first and second (econom), two floors, smart ladder and man with shop trail. Glass were very clean, but we weren't sure where we went. At the and we were at Marbur.

Then we saw our company we were very surprised, because there were a lot of people with their bags, there were a lot of bags and not many place. Anyway we went in our camp, it was wooden house, nice and small. We had two floors beds, two beds in every room. We had a big room for playing, kitchen for self prepared food, bathroom and a lot of different ingredients in the dark room. 

As soon as we came, two persons started a dinner cook, we ate, then we went to central of city, it was awesome, it was dark in the sky, but light of shops and street's light were very bright. We went at the Christmas market, to the castle… there were a lot of ladders and we were hat. Winter here is out fall, we have a snow, here grass is green, it is funny.
I liked the most streets near the castle – they are narrow, houses are so close, but they are so beautiful! The streets don’t strait, they go up and down, there are a lot of ladders where two persons can’t go together. If man wants go up, he should give a glance to up and see – is the ladder busy or not.  

When we went a hundred meters up we found a garden at a roof of a house what stood under us, in the garden were a lot of trees and a big swing. A view was great!

At the second day there was a lesson of Germany with nice teacher. I didn’t understand fool of speech, but I liked those lesson anyway. After lunch we went to the center again, but we saw a lot of other interest places – like a church and a mill. Were at the city near our, it was smaller, the central of this city was like a scene and all house were like spice cakes =P

At the evening, everybody went to café, but we went to walk at the mark. We bought two books, drunk hot wine, bought several presents for our relatives.

Our organizater is funny men, he can drink some wine and drive then. He drive fast, he like when people in the car shake and he like to joke.

Next day (Tuesday) we went at other city – Kassel, it more big, more modern. We traveled there a lot, there are big castles, fountains, woods, we were tired, but photos were great =)

We had little problem with our arrived in Marburg, one Italian wasn’t organized. We go to sleep at home and our groups played and talk each other in a big room. It was peaty, that we weren’t with them, but we were so exhausted.

Today is the third day of the trip. We ate very tasty Italian food, Korean food, Russian food, we gave our gifts to others, we had another German lesson, we played at world play - Taboo, it was funny.

I tried to write more details, but it isn’t easy.) Now we want to go at a swimming pool, go walk in the wood, go to shopping, we have a lot of plans!

Day one in the trip

So many things were done! We are here, in Marburg, at last!
We travelled by train, it had two floors! There were very clean and people were nice and pleasure =)
We were peaked up by miniwen, there were already 9 people with their bags and so on. People here very fanny and our idea was success! We had a big part of sheet, every body write their name and some information in German.

Then several guys make a dinner, a portion was too big, but I was too shy for say about it ^^
Then we go in a city, it was 20 o'clock, but we go anyway. The city is so beautiful, we were at the Christmas market and our friends drunk hot wine (we were too sleepy for this) and then we observed the centre, there are a lot of small nice houses and a castle. We went up and up by steps (there are a lot of ladder) and we achieved a viewpoint. We see on the city from high, it was so exciting! And the most nice view was on the garden what situated in the high too!  

I couldn't write ahead, our lesson is being started =)

Day of the trip

We all packed!
On the flash disc are saved: national music, photo of the family, films.
We took a lot of food for waiting our next fly (10 hours at the Ukraine airport), I decided to take on a sleeveless vest and a light jacket despite my winter work coat because it will be our autumn (fall) there =P

I so excited! I'm going to do hairstyle, bye!

1 day before our fly

Hello! We try plan things for packing. Actually, we wait a time when our dog with parents go to dacha (do you know what does it mean?) when we will start our last day here with bear and funny film =)

Seriously! We don't worry and keep calm =P

2 with half day before the fly!

Uhu! I try to plan different things to do at our trip:

- Make a little smart name for every thing at the room, for example - der Schrank, die Lampe.. and maybe short phrase - Guten Morgen, why not?!))

- To visit a bakery.

- Look at famous German technic.

- Play with other participants in the smart finger game - like here 

- Play with other participants in a game "Guess what animal is you" =)

- Drew with others at a big piece of sheet. 

- Swim at a German swimming pool! 

- Learn German hard ^^

We tried to buy something to present, like this

Hello!

Two with half days before our trip, our airplane and new experience! I can't stand waiting! =)

I wanted to buy a smart mobile for posting new facts about our trip here immediately, but I couldn't choose... Anyway, I will take a lot of photos and notes and every evening before sleep to post those photos here from notebook.)

What's the matter?

Hello! All day today I searched the Internet for suitable device as New Year present for me from my father... He told me - OK, just choose one and you get it.
I am exhausted!
What is the imperfect world! There are a lot of fakes and defects... 
Now I think that better I will be without a present.

My Partner's Birth Day!

Today is not ordinary day! Twenty four years ago my future man was borne! His parents were happy, his old brother was too, I think. Then he grow up and we have met each other. We stayed best friends and now we are also best friends and it is very cool!
I wish you will stay so clever as now and I will be proud of you everyday.

Yesterday we celebrated a Birthday Eve! It was great, we met a lot of our old friends, we've met more then half an year ago! We cooked our special dishes - chicken pie, Greek salad and others for drinks. We speak a lot, because we should discuss about a lot of things - our future life in German, our next meeting in February. +Nerr   has a lot of presents, the most useful is walky talky, we used it immediately, when one of us went with our dog outside.

 We played a lot, we played at the Imaginarium.. Do you know this game? It is awesome! 

I want to present something special as previous year, when I retell a poem, I thing, I could do it today, when we will have a party family supper, but, to be honest, I afraid a bit of toast! ^^

New day

Hello.
To be honest, I was upset of my results from my last English test, this is a reason of I kept quiet.. I thought, that a miracle happened.. I try to continue my practice, but this is hard.. 

Anyway, soon, I go in Germany for two weeks! For voluntarism. It's amazing! I really don't know what will happen there, I believe that all will be good.

Other news - I with my friend built amazing home for the homeless dog, we proud ourselves. Tomorrow I have a words check at the German class, I'm going to prepare for this in the evening...

All the previous week I was in the other corporation without Internet ant tee at the workplace, it was awful! Now, all as previous! I glad to write here again! 

Today I have a question for you - what is this? Could you guess?)

Why people from my country want to go abroad

Obviously, I can speak about me and my friends, not about all other people from my big country, I think you understand it and won't judge me for my opinion. I know, there are a lot of people with other mind here (my family, for example...).

We live according to the plan what was created by others years ago. We study a little then work, create a family, grow up children and give them good education for they will get a better job with bigger salary... And we could see at homeless people and imagine what will done if we don't do what is expected..

I don't see anything wrong in this plan, because I myself could add in my life something interesting - travelling, more entertainment, contact with new people, creating, decorate a flat and others what I want! I knew one thing what spoil all in this picture - bad news. I listen everyday about corruption and new strange laws, I see new crimes without any investigation.... It is so pity... The worst thing is that other people like it. I mean... They see it, but do nothing.. The tell themselves - somebody have money for this madness thing, ok... Tomorrow I could do thing like this, and I want others do nothing... I can't stand with it. 

I can't be proud for our government, and the worst thing that my family don't understand me, I want to go from this situation. Maybe I will think that government in Germany is crazy too, but this will be not my origin home and I will not be so sorry for those situation, I think.

For a long time ago

From work

I worked all day, I drew a stupid technological schemes at excel, it was awfull...

Some photos for improving my mood:

 It's one from Moscow underground, numbers which means time from from the last train disappeared.. I went from film and it was late, I was a bit scared)

It was one unusual feeder.

 It was my lovely dog.

New monday morning

Here a new morning came..

And it means new possibilities, I want catch them all, but I realize that I could catch something too late…

I want to be optimistic, although tonight there was a dream about me failing a math exam. It was in the real life when I was in the high school, I knew all tasks, but I was not attentive enough.. Thus I had the lowest score, though I was one of the best student in my class.. 

What does it may mean? This dream.. 

I don't want to write the same as previous times, about my problems - ielts, work, etc...

Let's talk about books and films, it's more interesting!

I read once a book named "Land of the Living". When I found it, I didn't think, that it will be horror, I thought it will be story for teens. Although it was horror... And I loved it! It was the second time when I liked something scared my.. (The first time it was a film "The Others").
Maybe I wrote about it too...

By the way, something new - it is a new film "Malavita"! I was at the cinema, saw this with my sister, who I haven't seen for a long time... About film - it completely something new in the cinematography, in this film there is a complex mix from bad and good features in every characters.. I like this film due to translate it by our famous person - Goblin. About my sister - she is still pretty and nice, she demonstrated me her new pictures in the ended book, it was amazing!

And one more good news - today I'll be free earlier than everyday, it is pleasant...

And one more worry thing - my Deutsch course starts at Wednesday! I begun prepare, but worry anyway... 

Enough for today, I think, because it is time for work. Real work. OK, I went!

Let's rest from education on a little time!

I am reading one exciting book - TOMORROW I WAS ALWAYS A LION by ARNHILD LAUVENG

Officially it is a story about backing from deep black psychological disease, though for me it is a story about loving of life and inside society relationships. 

When I was only starting my reading, I was afraid of awful details, but I found there only kindness advises  about possible improving of difficult society situation which reveal from big misunderstanding...

I advise you to read it if you wherever to feel any problem with conversation of expression of your feelings.

I'm writing what about I want

Hello, everybody!

My IELTS preparation is continuing and I realize now, that I should improve all my English skills which are needed for exam...

As you know these are Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

It will be very good, if I train all of them everyday... but.. I know thousand reasons for don't do it...

What about my everyday deals (cooking, washing, dog, etc), work which supply my by money, my Deutsch courses which will start in the week... 

I'm totally confused..

Probably I should spend some time for define priorities ..

What about my edX course? I am on the midterm check now and I can't find where I wrong at the problem (I don't describe any details, it is illegally), I had a conversations between me and a course staff, but they mustn't tell me the truth, because it is a real exam.

But look, it is a good result for my first course, isn't it? 
I still try to pass the midterm exam, I hope my score will be upper then now =)

IELTS speaking task 1

What do you like most about your job? 

Or, I am an engineer and at work I take a small part of global deal and I enjoy to see a whole and completed work. For example, I was happy to had a trip at the real nuclear station.

What do you like most - the people you work with or the tasks you have to do? 
At the work I like more to solve the problems which my headmaster gives me then to work with other people, nevertheless I have my real old friend among my workmates.

If you had a chance to change something at your workplace, what would it be? 
I think it will be very useful to have a sport place at the work. We seat all day in front of our computers and I wish to have some exercisers during work hours.

I want to get an abroad graduate and it will give me a real opportunity for achievement more prestige job.  

Where is my money?!

I saw a Russian news: Country is spending about 80 000 rub (~2600$) for preparation only one specialist.
And I would like to know - where is this money!?
I was at my University today, there is a chaotic situation - every department should find add funds for pay every month salary for their professors and other staff... By the way, there is very well-being situation at the management.
I am frustrated all of this. If I still were there, I would like to know a list of expenses, because it is too simple - choose any unimproved number..

Translate my diplom

I want do it myself, and here a few examples:

one

two 

Trying to order all things

What I should do at work? I should work, it's simple!

But in a few month I left my workplace and go for study at German I just can't stop thinking about it!

I should learning new words, I should train... If I don't it - all will bad.. 

I try to succeed my edX course, I try to read a story in English, to read a book about my specialization, new English books... 

There is something of mess in my head..

It's poor post, I'm so sorry.

New day came

Hallo, guys!

There is some information about my family here. I'm from a common Russian family with 4 people, there are me, my sister and parents. My father is awesome driver and thus I have a special point about what happens at roads and there are a lot of cars at roads. My mother helps other people with their kids and their house cleaning. She always reiterates me about order needs, about everyday floor washing... when we lived together of course. My sister has two pretty babies and this is her job. She says that she enjoys of it, but she looks very tired. I haven't seen my nephews for a long time now, because I and my sister have trouble in conversation.. We haven't mutual themes, actually.

Now I live with my partner and his native family, it's strange a bit, because I don't know what I should do sometimes... But others are very good - we have our own room and our animals.. it's a little zoo, really! There are two black cats, a rat and a dog. They entertain us everyday! Especially our dog does it because she is bigger and more active then the others! One day we found a lot of piece of yellow paper everywhere in the flat, she grabbed it from a toilet, it was embarrassment! And when we came, she was lying there among this mess and she looked very very innocent and we couldn't blame her, because she at home all long day without anybody there. No matter this little disadvantages, we love her and we'll take her with us in Germany.

What else?!

I do whatever I can, what could I do else?

I learn English at work time, it isn't very good and it's sours of worry, but I haven't enough free time at home.. 

Now my strategy is that - I read a text in Russian, then in English and when I meet a new interesting word, I look at Russian text and understand its translation, then I write down this in some different variations.. Like this:

entertain - развлекать

entertainment

This entertainment is awesome!

This joke entertain me every time =)

And so on...

But if I can't to write down some sentence, I just do it in my mind.. It not helpful as previous example, but I don't know how to learn in the other way...

Some grammar and exciting sites for learning English

I couldn't enjoy with this, maybe you could? http://www.economist.com

Free time

Question: How do you spend your free time at working day?

Answer: M... I have one hour at day every work day for dinner. My workmate went to the dinner room but I prefer to eat my own meals what I bring from home, in this way I may go for a walk in the dinner time, because I have a dinner at work time. 

I have a special place in a park near my office, there are a lot of different sports equipment there and I could train myself there and rest after this. I like to observe a picturesque environment when I go through the park..

Sometimes I haven't time for go to my secret place, in this case I like to go outdoors and rest from computer a few minutes.

Last day!

Good day!

A few days ago I met a young girl. She only schoolgirlish and we haven't any in common! But I felt  very strange feelings.. It was like if I wander to give an advise to myself in this age.. It is fanny, because I understand that it wouldn't help anyway.  I am who I am.)
Although she study German language and we could give a hand to her with her homework in different subject and she could help us with German...

Everyday practice

Hello everybody!

I still prepare for ielts (now I going to pass it at the and of September) and I need more practices!!

I buy one course for preparation, but I need to improve my English skills! 

For achieving profiting with pleasure I studying course (I've said it already).

I've done the first lesson for ielts preparation, there are Reading (T, F, NG; ABC and tree words tasks) and Writing (1st task) parts..  

For Reading I have lack of vocabulary, sometimes I didn't understand question itself! For improve  this situation I want to read more, for example I am advised to read papers here

For Writing I need to practice in pick out key features from text and the more big deal - I must learn more synonyms for describing graphs different types. Lastly, I need to study using more complicated phrases in my speech and writing...

Now it scare me a little, but I suppose that all will right.

 

Oh! My dear, it's amazing!

"...Today we are so used to writing numbers in decimal, that it is easy to forget that Gutenberg
would write the number 1448 as MCDXLVIII. How do you add two Roman numerals?
What is MCDXLVIII + DCCCXII? (And just try to think about multiplying them.) Even a
clever man like Gutenberg probably only knew how to add and subtract small numbers using
his ngers; for anything more complicated he had to consult an abacus specialist..."

I sign on the https://www.edx.org/ for course about "Theory of Quantum Information"!!
  
Quotation from here

Length of hear

I want to discuss a bit of length of hair style.

When I was young I used to wear a long coiffure. To be honest, my mom decided so. At the middle school I was cut my hair at the firs time. It was my plunge, I'd like it. I never can make complicate coiffures and I have dense, heavy hair, this the reason of my pleasure of cutting hair.

Otherwise it normally to have long hair for woman. People in common like to see something interesting on the head of others. It's normally when good-looking person have long hair, but it difficult to cure about them. 

For me I decided to cut my hair on the top of the head and to grow up longer hair on the back of the head. In that way I can to catch up advantages of both variants!

Diets

I know a common opinion about diets. It's generally negative. I'd agree with this position if slim girl did it due to society's stereotypes. But alas! Nowadays I more frequently see obesity people than health and good-looking.

One more point to diets is health problems of people in crowed cities. The don't have time, then more they live then more they fast. And when a person has a diet, he or she thinks about what he or she eats. And old reasons for go to the Macdonald disappear and so on...

I tried to have a diet, but always fall it. I think that people who have enough strong for it - are having iron will! I like sweets and others too hard.. Ones my sister wasn't eating sweets half year! It's incredible! 

What about me - I try again to drink 8 glasses of water a day, it will good for my body if I do it.)

Great cartoon!

I sow a great move - it was Escape from planet Earth!
It is about aliens with developed technologies who came on our planet and what happened after. We can understand from headlines that something went wrong.. A lot of humor, actual problems and the enormous impression after viewing. I just advise you to see it!

About everything

Hello, guys.
A lot of different events were in my life since the last letter was  posted here. For example - I was in my vocation trip in the village! It was amazing - I took a part in building of a floor in room, prepared two candles at wire, digging a ditch so the water goes.
It was cool, I remember every day there, ever boring.. I swam at lake with my dog, rode at bicycle.. 
And I read a book, English book. It was difficult, but I was stubborn in this issue.)
But one more event took place in my vocation.. I passed IELTS exam, I tried to do it at first time, but alas! I failed it. Results are not yet known but I think, I'm right.. 
It just mean that I'll go to course for preparation for next try.) 
I believe, I'll pass it in next month!

What does it mean - to be a big Boss

Real Big Boss never read letter for sign to end if he found a mistake. Big man never notice more than one mistake in one letter..

Task from IELTS

Hallo! Today I take me IELTS homework to work. 

Let's start!

This diagram shows us different weather conditions on the Pacific Ocean, depending from the warm current - El Nino.

The first diagram describes a normal conditions in the Ocean - strong stream blows from East to West, pushing storm clouds and rising cool water and rich nutrients from bottom of Pacific Ocean to their surface. As a result weather in Peru becomes sunny and number of fishes rises. At the same time weak winds blows westwards and this is a case of rainy and rich fertility in Australia.

The second diagram describes El Nino conditions in the Ocean. Strong trade winds blow from West and brings rainy at East side of the Ocean. Warm water with poor nutrients pushed eastwards in consequence quality of fish in Peru decline. Cool water stile in the bottom of the Ocean and dry become to Australia. 

In the and we could say that El Nino current and different strong of blows completely change a schema of weather in the Pacific Ocean and their sides.

Good news

Today I feel myself more better then yesterday.

One more good new - in the next holiday my vacation starts!

One more - in this holiday we go for swimming to the friend's dacha...

My first day of buisenes trip

Hallo! I'm at my first business trip! I'm at Volgodonsk city.

I promised for myself to learn English hard at this two weeks (actually my trip will length two weeks) but I studied with my partner before and it is too hard for me do it alone... But I hope I'll can...

In the current exercise I must to write an esse about this them: modern lifestyles are completely different from the way people lived in the past. Some people think the changes have been very positive, while others believe they have been negative.

Here my answer-plan:

1. Introduction.

2. Negative wives.

3. Positive wives.

4. My opinion.

I write my esse at the txt doc without auto-correction my words.

In progress times ouer sosity changes faster than in previous times. It cosed rapidly pace-life, developing technology, loosing force of traditional…

At the first sight changes go in bad future, because every moment we knowing about new global problem, criminal in big cities blowing, viladges escaping, etc. People steel don’t know how solve many questions, at the TV-programmes there are more bad news than good.

But every day people make new sciences opening, solving global problems, exploring new arreas, and doing other good things. We can’t judging – what the cose of appearing new problems – the negative impact of human at the invironment or the rising of  our knowledge about nature…

Some people want to return to tradition life – thay live in the community and don’t use progress things and friquensy denye a medicin. I think – it is not very good idea. I agree that some of the today news very dangerous, but it is not the rison for run from problems! Human nast solv it, It is our common aims. it is only my opinion, but nobody can make me think another way =)

It is't enough nomber of words but it's my first esse and I'n a little drink =) 

Good bay everybody! See you soon. I hope.
