First notebook entry: Introducing myself I decided to join this community, because I had finished my school and, as I understand, in the Univercity it`s paid no attention to English for a start. I need English, because it`s popular international language, it will be useful anyway. The other point is that I want to complete my education (maybe, live and work) abroad. Sometimes it seems just like a dream, and the only thing I`m sure of is that I must learn language at first. My native language is Russian, and I`m extremely glad of it. If it were not, I would never be able to learn it. It`s very complicated. Well, I grew up in Russian. In fact, it`s a nice country, but "the best places are where we weren`t at". I enjoy reading interesting books and prefer it to watching films. I like to write diary and try to do it in English lately. It`s unpleasant to realise, that I must change some words, miss anothers and use dictionary... I suppose, if someone controls and checks my works, it will be more useful. :) Also my hobbies include writing poetry, drawing and sculpting, but there is nothing serious, it`s just for fun. To be honest, I`m lazy. However, if I`m interested in something, I can be quite active, so I`m ready to correct all my mistakes in the activities I do. For example, my poems get much better than its were. I hope, it will be so with English, too. :)
