Osso nudi alberi sono stagliati contro il cielo di che colori [rosa, blu, giallo] sono di un dolce sogno, delicato come primavera tiempo e come soffice neonato pelle. Bone bare trees are silhouetted against the sky whose colors [pink, yellow, blue] are of a sweet dream, gentle as springtime weather and soft as baby's skin. Mentre guardo dall'interno della finestra mi mostra il netto, ancora nevicate in tutto il mondo. Ghiaccioli pendono dalle grondaie del mio vicino e la loro sbuffi di vapore camino come il respiro del drago sibilando attraverso il tetto. As I watch from inside the window shows me the stark, still snowfall everywhere. Icicles hang from my neighbor's gutters and their chimney puffs steam like dragon's breath hissing across the roof. (Google Translated because I'm tired...) Acqua bollente transforma nello stesso istante neve. Boiling water turns into instant snow. Io sono molto grato guardare devestando bello da in una calda casa con una scalda e nutriente ciotola di minestra. I am thankful to watch such a ravaging beauty from inside a warm home with a hot and hearty bowl of soup.January 7, 201450
Playing with my son
My lovely son, a one-year-and-seven-month old boy, is very cute (replace the dashes with commas). During Due to the stressful work, I seldom have free time to be with him. In On a normal workday, I usually get up at 7.00 am when he is still having good dreams. Before I go to work at about 8:00 am, I spend the whole hour to brush up, eat breakfast and refresh some new English words sometimes. I can do nothing but have a look my sleeping boy lying in the bed before going out.
After 9 working hours (while this is correct, it would be more commonplace to say ""After 9 hours at work"), I come home finally at about 20.00 pm. It costs me more than one hour on the way home, by the way. In the hours before I go to bed, which is usually at 23.00, I am typically not free. So spending some time to play with my kid is actually a lunxry.I know it is crucially important to get together with him during this stage.
I think when I get a satisfactory score in IELTS test, I could have more spare time to do stuff I really enjoy.0 votedJanuary 3, 20142
