Hi Dhanielle!
Great question - there are so many countries which I would love to visit. Personally, I would like to travel in South America as it sounds very beautiful and I am told the people are very welcoming. I would also like to visit the Middle East or Morrocco where I could learn some colloquial Arabic and experience a culture very different to my own! Finally, I hope to spend time in Germany and Norway. Both countries are near to where I live and I know a lot of people who come from there so I would have many recommendations.
I think I'll need to save some money first though...

The love and the self-esteem are correlated in term of causality , prompting and complementing each other. People with high self-esteem increase their chances of being loved and having a relationship with other sex. the Love also promotes self-esteem as the partner emphasises only in your positive good qualities points as they said "love is blind". This will be reflected in your mood and impacted on your relation with others including your partner.
People with low self-esteem tend to avoid love or are hasty in relationship which will decrease their long-term chances of successful a relationship. Even worse, they may abort it before it begins. However, if they succeed in a romantic relationship, this will impact positively on their self-esteem.
People with high self esteem can have multiple relationships and that are only limited by their moral values, while people with low self-esteem will be held back by their limited ability to engage in a successful relationship in addition to limitations due to their moral values limitation .
All in all, people with high self-esteem have a better chance of engaging in love.
The love will be impacted positively on all people regardless of their self-esteem level.0 votedNovember 26, 20130It depends what kind of books you are interested in! I know that a lot of my Spanish pupils read the Harry Potter books in English because they were familiar with the stories and the language is not too hard. In general, more recent books will be easier than older ones because the language will be more up-to-date. I like David Nicholls and Nick Hornby and I imagine they would be quite good for non-English speakers. It is often useful to read a book which has a film version too so you can compare them - try to watch the movie in English as well though!

For example, I could read an easy novel very quickly (the type you would buy in an airport to read on the beach!) but it would take a little longer for me to read a more complex novel that required concentration. An academic piece about a subject I was familiar with would take longer to read but if it were about a subject I had no knowledge of, I would be quite slow.
I would judge your reading fluency by comparing how long it takes you to read something in the foreign language to the amount of time it would take to read a similar piece in your native language.
1,000 words is a lot to read in one minute and I doubt you would really be able to absorb anything in that time!

“ If you do not receive any phone calls from your friends for a month , I think you should call your friends first ” A friend of mine told me that . Before this, I did not mention it.
These days, work is relatively leisurely so I need do some thing with my spare time and getting in touch with friends is a good idea but it's so strange to say hello to a friend that you haven't been in contact with for a month. Then i visited skype, at which point I saw that something tragic had happened ,I was deleted by a friend of mine. He is so patient and tolerant ,but my silence was too much for him。
I was wrong - I should always stay in touch with my friends.Good work! I think you're right - it is important to make time for friends.

Había aprendido el español en el instituto pero la realidad es que fue muy fácil sacar un A sin saber la lengua con la profundidad. Después de vivir en España, quiero mantener mi nivel de la lengua y intento practicar con nativos (hay muchos en mi ciudad!!). Creo que es una vergüenza que los británicos no aprendan más idiomas y en mi experiencia es posible saber mucho más de un país y tener una experiencia mejor con la cultura cuando puedes hablar con la gente. Aprender una idioma es un camino largo pero estoy disfrutando el viaje :)October 31, 2013141
