From my window
In the evenings I sit at my window watching people in the street. The street becomes crowded from 5 to 9 pm. I can see people coming home from their work places, women getting vegetables and (stationary) from the market and students coming home from their schools and tuition classes.
Children don't have natural play grounds near their houses so they have to go to municipal parks and grounds.They can only play for a fixed time, but they still look happy.
In my home village, we usually go out with our family, but here, I don't see that. Teenagers are never seen with their parents. They roam here and there with friends talking and laughing loudly. They are enjoying life without any concerns.
The elders are too busy with their office and household work. They literally run from home to office and from office to home just like machines and I know that the same will be my future life.Well done. I wasn't quite sure what you wanted to say with 'stationAry'. It means not to move to stand still. 'StationEry' would mean that the women are buying writing materials such as writing paper,envelopes,note books, pens,ink etc. Are they?

About me! I have been studying English for a long time. I started in school then at university. Many times I tried to study it by myself, but I couldn't. I thought - what is wrong with me? Maybe I'm not smart? But I am smart. Maybe I don't have enough willpower? But I have! Then I found a new course "Method Pimsleur" and everything changed. I have started to speak! I have started to understand! In this course I don't have to learn grammar but I have begun to understand it intuitively. It's an audio course and now I'm listening to the 70-th lesson out of 90.

Hi, my name is Rosa. I live in Andria,Apulia, Italy and i'm 32 years old. I am married and have a 9 month old baby. I have a degree in psychology, but I don't have a job yet. I must learn English in a short time for a job interview that I will have soon. This is my chance to learn the language and make new friends.

How rude certain people can be. They think the world turns around them. They are resposible for their behaviour.
I don't wish to have anything to do with them but unfortunately I must. I have to deal with them,that's life. I have no choice but to ride life's wave without falling under it.Love them!
That is difficult, personally I can't do it.0 votedMay 27, 20132Would you please improve this?
Hello
I'm Aline. My hometown is in Belgium, and I'm 13 years old.
I go to school at Saint Pauls College. It's situated in a small town . The school isn't very big , and I like that .
Mostly I like go to school because I am together with my friends. (You are togther with your friends). But some days I hate it because we have such a lot of work, that we don't have much free time.
In my free time I go out with my friends, listen to music or do something else.
On Friday night , I go dancing. It's really nice. Sometimes on Sunday morning, I go swimming . But now , I have not got a lot of time to do this. The same for gymnastics. I have not stopped because I have no time but because an incident that happened.
In the attachment, there is a picture of my family. In the second row you can see my father. He swims too . My mother is in the second row on the left. She is 41 years old.
I have no brothers or sisters but I have a cousin . She is in the second row right next to me. Her hobbys are tennis and dancing . The other people on the picture are my grandparents, great aunt and aunt. My father works in a factory. And my mother is a nurse.
I have a lot of pets. One rabbit , 4 parakeets, one parrot, 4 chickens and a lot of fish. I love them all . But I love most my rabbit . Her name is Balou . Today she is almost four months old. The names of my birds are : Kootje, Twity and Yako . They are very nice too. Have you got any pets?
I hope that I hear something back from you. Here is my mail address.

Best regards,
Aline MeulemanWell done Aline :) I have pets as well, four dogs, three cats and a pond full of fish. My favourite is my biggest dog Jack.

I gave up Facebook 2 weeks ago. I decided to quit the social network for many reasons.
Firstly, I realised I spent too much time on it . Secondly, I felt disappointed when I could not focus on anything. Thirdly, I think it's better to quit Facebook completely so that I can expand my knowledge and improve my study skills, and learn English from other resources on the Internet.
And you, do you have a similar opinion ?
Please correct my text or leave a comment about using Facebook. Thank you !Face book can be useful to keep up with froends and family. You have to be disciplined and not let yourself waste too much time on it.
:)
