May 28, 201450 - Please Help Part 2 When it is not snowing in upstate New York there are endless activities to participate in. Upstate is home to many long time hunters that have available to them a wide variety of hunting. Some popular choices of hunting include: deer, turkey, and rabbit. Many New York City residents enjoy mountain biking in the mountains of upstate; however others prefer to take in the sights and hike. The majority of the mountains have login trails for easy access for the bicyclist, and hikers. The Appalachian Mountains located in Appalachian, NY have some of the best sceneries one could ever witness. Due to the high altitude plant life is thriving; with many varieties of massive trees such as: oak, cherry, and maples trees. You cannot help but feel yourself become one with nature when all you can here is the sound of birds chirping, and deer grazing about.The majority of people have the misconception of thinking the infamous city reflects the entire state. Many cities throughout the years have noticed this, and have taken the initiative to advertise what they have to offer. Being a native of New York City, but spending most weekends upstate I can personally vouch for the diversity of each place . As I have explained both New York City, and upstate have many different things they can offer. So maybe you’ll view New York a bit differently the next time you think of it.February 28, 201400
- Plese Help Part 1 Misconception of New York There are many world-renowned cities within the United States; Los Angeles, Miami, and Orlando to name a few. Each of these cities is well known for something; whether it is beaches, shopping, or amusement parks. Now many of these cities have much more to offer then what they are just well known for, but there is one place in particular in the United States that many people have a misconception about. This place that I mention is none other than New York. New York City is world renowned for being the city that never sleeps, because of its non-stop taxis, and 24 hour businesses. It is also known for its architecture, Wall Street, and of course pizza. New York city is also known for its large multicultural influence. These are fine things to be known for, but on the other hand New York State, or better known as upstate New York offers the complete opposite. Soon after you exit Westchester County, and enter Albany County you are now considered in Upstate New York. You might second-guess yourself that you are in a different state, because of how much the environments vary from each other, but the heavy New York accents will reassure you that you are still in New York. Where it be summer, or winter upstate New York always has outdoor activities to engage in. New York City winters are known to be long, and brutal, because of all the snow it receives. Upstate New York is higher in altitude, and located mostly in the mountains; which makes it weather much more severe than the cities weather. The weather upstate not only receives an abundance of snow, but also is well known for their black ice. Black ice a very slick layer of ice formed on roads. When blizzards are not happening, the crisp cold weather is very delightful. Many mountains have been designed to accommodate winter sports as in snowboarding, skiing, and sledding. During the winter these parks are flooded with natives, and foreigners from all over the world. The foreigners come not only to participate in winter sports, but to also experience New York’s winters first hand.February 28, 201401

0 votedFebruary 10, 20142Thank you for posting an interesting discussion. I myself admire how we as Americans take words from diffeent languages, and than call them our own. It is still done today, but persoanlly I feel the more a language reaches out in the world; the more it tends to influence others.
And to answer your question Claudia, I think 'ordinateur' sounds much more better, and suave haha.
Buona sera Claudia.

ImIn my opinion it's very difficult to dotake the first step, and start to speak a foreign language. Sometimes this phenomenon is called the "language barrier". ButHowever, there are great possibilities to improve ownthat foreign language without having a language partner. These are different programmes-trainers/examples for speech improvingimprovement. Some of them canOne way is to use the tecnhology of speech recognition. In the begining you have to listen to a speech of natural native speaker. thanThen you have to repeat his/her phrase or answer his/her question. Thus it's producedproduces the dialog between you, and the computer. So I figure this is very interesting. On the web I have found a suchsuch a trainer, the url is STARTTOSPEAK.COM. You can try it too. How Do you think is it really to improves your English pronunciation using such language trainers?
<em>Great article, keep up the good work.</em>
