Italy is dead, get away while you still have time. [3/3]
Conclusion
We by now have slipped in the second half of the European rank. If EU countries are divided among riches and poor, we are between among the poor.
An humiliation for a great and brilliant manufacturing country whose helped established the EU Union back then.
What is left?
The heroism value of some and the resilience of many.
From here we must start again if we want to stand up again.Don't worry buddy, my country (France) is in the exact same boat as yours... Except i ran away long ago! :)
0 votedJune 18, 20142I sort feel like the same problem arises wherever you go though. I mean obviously, Anglo-saxons don't really feel the need to learn other languages because theirs is so prevalant, but even in France, where I'm from, you;d be shocked by the number of people who can't understand the simplest english.
It's just a question of convenience. If you weren't born in a family that doesn't speak the language of the country you live in then "what's the point" right?0 votedJune 18, 20140French is tough! I'm french myself and i can honestly say i struggle to write even a single letter to my oldies without at least 3 or 4 mistakes... :/
Since i moved to Australia when i was 11, i lost it pretty quickly and practically had to relearn a lot of vocab and grammar, (because i tend to use grammar that makes sense in English and translate word for word in French which makes sense to me but not to my family haha!).For me, the most valuable tools for building up my vocab especially was (as boring as it may sound) reading books. If you find a book that you really like, you can learn so many new words that you retain without even trying! Obviously though you are only beginning, so the best thing for you in my opinion is to strengthen your basic knowledge with duo, then when you feel ready, move on to children's books and gradually start reading more difficult things...
Also, speaking wise, watching the French news was a HUGE help... you pick up so much just from listening to anchors and interviewees and journalists... It offers you a variety of formality, and you're guaranteed to be learning PROPER French.
Good luck! Feel free to ask me any questions if you wanna!
0 votedJune 18, 20140my essay about goldilocks, what do you think? part 1
Goldilocks
An anthropomorphical bear family lived together in a little cottage. One day when they are were going to take have their breakfast, they feel felt (noticed might be better?) it was too hot, so they decided to go out for a while and visit their other animal neighbors, leaving their bowls to cooling.
Meanwhile a (life scientist biologist?) that had been watching the family for a long time, appeared and she crept up into the dwelling, caring little if she broke into that she was breaching the bears' privacy. she poured a tranquilizing potion into the bears' bowls of food a tranquilizing potion, then go went to the bedrooms and put some snares under every bed's pillows.
While goldilocks was waiting for the bears to come home and his her plan happen (the english expression is "a plan to hatch"); which was for the bears to eat breakfast and do the calming effect and investigate when they go to fell asleep to catch her to investigate.
But the family of bears take took a long time and Goldilocks fell asleep. When they arrived they would continued with their breakfast, dad sniffed out the tranquilizer into his bowl, and asking asked Mom and son if they also had nosed smelt it. taking an affirmative answer.(They had/They answered they did sounds more natural)
The son sniffed an unpleasant odor, addressing looking around the room, they also realized noticed the traps under the pillows and goldilocks sleeping.
Goldilocks woke up and realized the presence of bears had come home. She jumped, terrified, and tried to run, but the dad and mom bears caught and devoured her.
In this story, unlike fairy tales with happy endings to which we are accustomed, we change the perspective (the perspective is changed sounds better) and it makes us understand a moral in a different, seemingly cruel way. and seemingly cruel moral.
In this story arises the morals content situations about ambition, selfishness, hypocrisy and indifference.
In this version we can see how instead of referring to Goldilocks as a tender and Beautiful curious girl, she is taught described to us as a selfish biologist, and blinded by ambition which who gets into (breaks into maybe?) the house of a family of bears with the purpose to of experimenting with and gaining fame.
In this version, unlike the fairy tale version, emotions become different. As in the (original) fairy tale, the reader is moved by the presence of bears and as their tremendous family love, enabling them to accept the missing girl.
Also in this version, the reader is transformed with offered/given/substituted with the mentality of a child in each of the characters, and fantasy vibe/atmosphere in subtle ways; you are carrying moving through/going along the story through making and you feel part of it.Good work! :) Try to make your sentences shorter, you put too much information in one sentence and it makes you make mistakes...

I just graduated from my university and got my bachelor degree. I have a plan (to finish), that is I want to go traveling to some other country; therefore, I will go to Australia this summer with a working holiday visa. I have not been to another country before, so i am quite nervous but excited as well. I would like to improve two aspects of myself in two parts. First of all, I want to enhance my English competence competencies (skills sounds better), so that I can be more fluent. Secondly, I hope i can become a better person through living in a totally different place; in other words, i want to train myself to becoming a person that can embrace any difficult situations. After staying in Australia for one year, i would will probably visit Spain, because I want to learn Spanish, which is a very fascinating language. This These is (are) my travel plans, How about yours?? ^^
Hey great to know you're coming to Australia! Best country in the world! i live here! :) Don't worry we're all really nice :p
