- My last trip was to Oporto in Portugal. I wanted to go there with my wife and my son. He was only one. When we were going onto the plane, my son couldn't travel because he hadn't got a passport. What enormous mistake ! Eventually, we had to leave the baby with his grandparents and only travelled my wife and me. While we were flying, we were very sad but we enjoyed the experience in the end.0 votedDecember 18, 20200
- Now I live in London, so I need to learn English for life, for work, to study with my kids. We moved here 1 year ago and, because of Covid, we stayed at home about half a year, I can’t start working. Every day I try to do something in English - watch some movies, read some articles or even letters from school. Once a week I have a speaking lesson on zoom. I feel better than a year ago but still have difficulties with speaking, especially by phone0 votedDecember 8, 20201
The Modern Christmas
The last Christmas ended two weeks ago. Although I was born in the twenty-first century, sometimes I hanker after the Christmas like in the past. What is the main gap between both types of the celebration? Chiefly it's about access to all products and richness of inhabitants. I can't stand watching busy people on the street, long traffic jams in every city center or shopping like to a bunker*. People are soft in the head because they forgot forget about the real meaning of Christmas. Unfortunately, so many countries indulge in this phenomena. They want to spend more and more money regardless of the economical crisis. Moreover, some of them are capable of arguing or even fighting for their Christmas presents. I think that we should return to the tradition. Christmas time should be based on the family, memory and mutual kindness. When Christmas induces only anger and a hassle, what is the purpose of celebrating that? We can purchase presents until we are ripe the in old age but we cannot buy any unforgettable moments with family. That's why, we shouldn't forget about this opportunity, people are not immortal.
*- Do you mean shopping as if people are "rushing into a bunker", like it is the end of the world?
I completely agree with what you are saying - I see too many people who think Christmas is about how much money can be spent. What happened to good, old-fashioned 'family time'?

On Thursday, I will go back to the school and I don't want it! to! I have exams and exhibitions.
I'm not used to wake waking up early. When school begins another time again, I will wake up at 7.30am, then I will leave home at 8am and will drive to 30 minutes to came arrive at my school. The class begins at 9am but I should go leave home with so much plenty of time, because in on the road I could meet with some big trucks (and they drive very slow!) and I need to park my car (and there isn't aren't so much many sites spaces at the car park). On Mondays and Thursdays, I have class since from 9am to 8pm, because of that, this these days I never have free time for me! It is terrible!
But, before this Thursday I'm free to do all I want! I think that I will spend this little time to go to the gym, wacth watch films and (although I don't want it to) to do some homework that I don't haven't finished yet.Bravo! I also wake up at 7.30am every day for work - it's horrible! I am thankful that I walk to work so I don't meet any trucks on the road :)

Et ce soir, bien sûr, cela s'est reproduit et je viens de se réveiller. J'essaye de pratiquer la langue française autant que possible les soirs - qu'est-ce qui se passe? Avez-vous la même problème le lundi? (D'autre part, le travail a été vraiment intéressant aujourd'hui. Nous avons eu un jour en formation, et j'ai appris beaucoup de nouvelles choses)January 6, 201420
