Academic reference
To whom it may concern: Ivanov Oleksandr
I met Mr. Ivanov at a lecture about innovative neurotechnology. Oleksandr actively participated in discussions and raised questions, demonstrating that he is an open-minded person who has a great desire to obtain knowledge and develop himself. Oleksandr is interested in becoming a part of our scientific team, which provides research work in field of neurosurgery.
In my opinion, Oleksandr is an outstanding person and someone who deserve to receive/get an internship in your institution.

Hi!! I would like to write something using the past tense. I know..that when we are learning, we usually use the same tenses. To practice, I want to try to write this text..explaining my last saturday!
Last Saturday started horribly. I woke up at seven a.m. because I had two exams and I was very nervous. I'm studying for an online degree and I had to take <em>this exams</em> (either "this exam" or "these exams" -- one is singular, one is plural) to pass the term. Well..I couldn't eat anything and then I drove 20 minutes to arrive at the university. I was feeling hungry. When I arrived, a lot of people were waiting to do their exams. During this time, I was studying more to try to memorize everything. I did the first exam and it was very difficult. Then, I waited two hours and I did the second one.
When I finished, I ran home to sleep. I slept three hours...It was a very good "siesta!". The best thing I've done in the last two weeks. It was amazing! Then...I watched a film called "true love" (yes, I know that it sounds strange), Afterward, I went with my friends to a bar to celebrate that I had a social life again. But, I ordered a strawberry mojito and it was tasteless. Oh my god!!!
The best thing was that they gave me 10 lollipops. As we say in Spain....Better than nothing.0 votedJanuary 28, 20150- Le Super Bowl Ce weekend, Je regarderai le Super Bowl.

Language learning as an investment
Through all these years in school I was obligated to study English. I don't even remember if I liked it at the beginning, but I remember that I was sick of it in high school (I had A LOT of English classes). Of course right now having good English skills is priceless, but again - it was obligatory.
After graduating, I decided to start studying Spanish. Why? Because it's the second (I think you mean the "second most commonly spoken" or "second most popular spoken"spoken language in the world. I didn't know much about the culture of Spain or Peru, but I thought that it'd valuable to know Spanish. So, I've asked myself a question - do I like studying languages? Or maybe, knowing that it's not that hard to learn a language (well, intermediate level speaking), I like investing in myself? After studying Spanish for some time now I think both. I really like Spanish cuisine and it feels awesome to communicate with a native speaker (Bianca - my great language partner), but after being in Madrid and looking through some job advertisments I also know that it's a good investment.
I'm writing all this beceause I'm starting a small project - learning Chinese through English, Spanish and Polish. I haven't been to China, I have no interests connected with this country and I know nothing about the culture (Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee). Language learning as an investment. I'm not in rush, so I've decided to have my little chat (basic level) in Chinese on the last day of August this year.
First lesson is today!
你好 - nǐhǎo - hello
叫 - jiào - to be called
什么 - shénme - what
名字 - míngzi - name
你好, 你叫什么名字? - Hello. What's your name?
我叫...你呢? - My name is... How about you?
As far as the source of the material is concerned I'm testing chinesepod.com. It looks pretty good.
Ok that's it for now. I'm going to write more about the form of studying later. We'll see :)
