First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English, because i want to study abroad (maybe) and make friends from England, USA and other English-speaking countries
My native language is Russian, and I grew up in Moscow (But I was born in Minsk, Byelorussia, then moved to Moskow)
I enjoy dancing, communicating with people, learning languages, watching movies, and listening music. So, I like do the same things, that everyone likes to do ;)

This may not be prefect since I have a C in English I & B in English II, but I will try.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English, because I might want to study abroad and make friends from English speaking countries. For example, I'd like to make friends with people from England and the USA. My native language is Russian. I grew up in Moscow, but I was born in Minsk, Belarus. I like to do the same things most people like to do; dance, listen to music, watch movies, learn languages, and socialize.

Okay... I think this is good, however I am not good at explaining why it is right. Which I why I got a C & B instead of an A. hahaha But all I did was move things around to be in a more comprehensive order, and since we are using English, I believe Belarus is the English way to write it... Right? Also, always capitalize "I." I have noticed that a lot of people learning English don't. You can also place a ";" when making a list of things... just be careful how to place it. A lot of people use it incorrectly. (I do too sometimes.) I also put "dance" and "listen to music" together, then "watch movies," then "learn languages" and "socialize." It's not wrong to write it all mixed up, but it's more artful and flows together to put "like" activities near each other. Maybe I am just very obssessive compulsive though. :-) Oh, and you don't have to say that you moved to Moscow. It's one of those things that is assumed and it is okay to leave it out. I remember my English professors hated when we used unnecessary phrases and words. They were all Ernest Hemingway fans. ;-) (He was a famous American writer that perfected the art of "less is more" in writing.)
