When not residing in my hometown of Burlington, Canada, I love to explore new cultures and cuisines. A few of my favourite things: Fika (daily Swedish coffee break), the Argentinean tango and salsa dancing, feeding ducks by Lake Ontario and Japanese sushi. I've visited Thailand, The Netherlands, the UAE, Iceland, Sweden, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and I’m excited to begin my next adventure! Any suggestions? With so much travel, it is important to speak the local language – though I've made some embarrassing mistakes along the way (ask me about the time I tried to introduce myself in Spanish!). I’m looking to continue to develop my existing French language skills and to start learning new languages, such as Spanish and German. The perfect iTalki experience for me will be to find smart funny peers and teachers to practice and learn with.

    I don't even know how I must to title this stupid and small story

    When his girlfriend left him and she started to live with another man, he felt like his heart was broken in million pieces and the only thing he had in on his mind was the revenge.
    He became to be a miserable man who hated everyone; he felt he will would never love anyone, anymore.

    But suddenly, one day when he was taking a walk in the evening, he looked at a sad girl in the street, near to the park where he usually goes. This girl was an average woman but he can't couldn't take his eyes off of her.


    What would happen between both them? I don't know. That's because I don't care...
    Maybe the loneliness wanted to tie these two poor souls together or maybe the destiny was boring.

     

    Sad but thoughful; nice work, Bel! Just a few minor errors but overall, a good short story.

    Starlings

    I am on holiday and we are living in our country house in the Vladimir region. The surrounding nature is very saturated.
    In the daytime we can see a lot of birds like a swalows, falkons and hawks which soar in the sky, seagulls, starlings, etc. At night we can hear through the opening window the voices of the nighthawk and owl.
    One day ago in the Yesterday morning we saw an interesting thing: how starling chicks of the starling try to flying for the first time. It was very interesting because we never see it this early. A lot of chicks which have other colors than the adults birds in the small area. My baby daughter didn't look away from this picture.

     

    Very beautifully written! Your country house and the birds sound lovely. Only a few small corrections regarding punctuation, the use of 'the' and some minor spelling errors.

     

    - The difference between a semi colon (;) and a comma (,). A comma is used when listing different things, such as the birds you described. A semi colon is used to connect related sentences such as "I enjoyed your journal entry; it was very poetic".

    - Remember to use the word 'the' to distinguish different nouns.

    - The different between 'then' and 'than'. 'Then' is used to shown chrological order of events, such as 'I wrote this sentence. Then, I wrote this one next'. 'Than' is used to compare things, such as 'Chocolate is better than vegetables'.

    Legal marijuana could decreases criminality in Colorado

    According to marijuana sealers, criminality has decreased since the legalization of recreational marijuana use.

    A report released by marijuana sealers reveals that since January, criminality in Denver has decreased, which the sealers affirm has been possible thanks to legalization.

    "We think that legalization could have been helped to decrease crime in Denver", said Mike Elliot, lawyer and director of Marijuana Industry Group.

    A previous report by the Security Department of Colorado, released in April, ensured that criminality in Colorado hasn't risen since January, the month when marijuana was legalizated.

    In the report of sealers, elaborated with information of local and state security agencies, marks that violent crimes and crime against property in Denver have decreased 10.6% between January and April, comparing with the same period of 2013.
