Types of media
I want to tell you about the types of media. In today's world society, there are so many devices and accessories for the media. For example, These include television, newspapers, magazines and of course, the Internet. David Yandell said that "The mass media is a combination of information, entertaiment and complete rubbish." I can not disagree highly agree with this definition statement. The media has one key characteristic: It keeps growing and growing. These days, few people it is scarce for someone can to remember life before television. And Most of us have been influenced by the contact flow of words and images from screens or newspapers. by the media one way or the other. Some of it is "Complete rubbish" and some of it is wonderful.
The media allows us to keep the track of events around the world. Now, I cannot imagine life without the Internet. I am looking for information for the study, I use it for studying, for watching the news, chating with friends, and so on. through the Internet. As for TV, the television, newspaper or magazines, they are importent for me too as well. They help me relax. The media as a whole has made our life lives more comfortable, but must be used wisely.What a fantastic piece of writing! The media truly is something that so many of us get influenced by, but it is a matter of critically thinking and questioning whether we believe something is right or not. Keep up the fantastic work!

One of them is that how to deal was dealing with those people who is aggressively asking for begged for money everywhere I went, such as : in at the train station, or a the coffee shop and in front of grocery store. They were also hanging around at or a the gas station, in the middle of road or in at a the crosswalk while I waiting waited for the lights to change.
In Tokyo, people who live in a park or street would rather not to speak to other people in public. If anything, they would prefer to glance away.
On the way to the union station from the quarantine station in the LA, one lady asked me for money. to me in public. With tears in her eyes, She tearfully mentioned that she told me how she couldn't afford basic clinic care for her pregnancy. and the delivery costs. I felt pity for her story and so I gave her a couple of bucks that I had in my pocket. One A minute after giving her the money, she made her way back to her friend and laughed loudly about something. the scene which is she was talking with a loud laugh with her friend or someone.
Sometimes I feet feel like that some people takes take advantage of me with my conversation ability. because I am a foreginer.
When I was in the U.S, I liked riding my bike on the bike trails paths or along the beach trails. Then, some There were people who often speak or beg asked and begged me for money to me over my shoulder while I stop moving. was at rest.
Last year, I watched the news that where an American woman visiting LA from another state who was a tourist from other states was killed at on the street in the street of LA after she rejected street performer's beg for just a dollar. refused to give a street performer a dollar.I have had was also once threatened by a stranger with a small cutter blade kinfe at the stairs on my of the apartment I used to live in.
So, I am just wondering what would be the best way to handle it... Should I wear a motorcycle helmet to shut out an uncomfortable ambient noise?
- Endless-Oh my god. I am terribly sorry for your unfortunate experiences! You must have trouble sleeping at night at times...
I can only suggest something as simple as telling them to leave politely, such as "no thank you." You could also say "I don't want to be involved in any trouble" or "please respect me and leave me alone" when they continue annyoing you. Beggars will not change, so I can only advise you to really observe and get used to the beahviours of other cultures so that you can confidently do the stuff that they and not look like a foreginer. It is a real shame how foreigners are taken advantage of.

Hi to everyone, I wish you were enjoying Easter hollydays, hope you enjoyed your Easter Holidays. I'm still without I don't have classes until next Tuesday, and I'm supposed to but I should be studying. Well, You can penalise scold(*) me for this because I'm on tumblr all day and I'm also writing a novel, while my homework and study books are staring at me from my desk (I'm a horrible student).
Actually, I don't know what to write about; I just want to sleep for a while and take and then drink a cup of tea before starting to do doing something interesting, such as (like start to read reading the book I need to for my final project. It's name is called "The transhumanist reader" and my teacher bought it for me to use it in my project. It's written on in English, so I wish I could understand everything.).
If you want to know why I named that this Post as "Surfer Mango Tea" the reason is easy: that's the tea I'm taking and if you haven't tasted it yet, I think you have to. I preffer prefer in its the cold version, but hot isn't bad at all.
Do you preffer coffee or tea and how do you use to take like it? Which ones do you advice recommend me?
PS: that's This is the shorter shortest post I have written. Should I feel guilty?*'scold' can be replaced with a phrase called 'to tell off.' For example, you couls say "Well, you can tell me off for this because..."
A very nice piece of writing - I really enjoyed it! I will definitely try mango tea in the future! Just one thing I noticed was the regular absence of commas. Commas are almost always used before the word "but."
I know it may seem like a lot of mistakes, but it's excellent that you gave it a go! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I will try my best to help you! (:

Every Easter we paint eggs. This is a very old tradition and not only for Russia. However some Russian tries Russians try to keep them until next Easter. It could be possible if the eggshell is full, fully uncracked. The egg just dries and you don't feel the decay. But if the eggshell have has any microscopic crack you will get just a rotten egg, nothing more.
One of my friend friends kept the her Easter egg. She put it behind the icon and forgot about it. Of course after some time she felt smelled something disgusting. smell. I don't know what happened with her memory but she absolutely forgot about egg lying behind the icon. First and foremost Initially, she thought that some homeless (person) had climbed into the basement and died there. She called to the police and claimed to check her basement. The policeman came and observed everything very carefully. She was puzzled for a some time about origin of the smell, but fortunately her daughter found that hapless rotten egg and threw it away it.
Somebody should do cleaning more thoroughly.Fantastic writing Irina! What a funny story it was! I hope you can pick up some of the correctcions I have made for you, and if you are unsure of stuff, please don't hesitate to comment!
