I'm British, English specifically.

Americans think we have awful teeth and drink tea all the time; they also think we all speak like, either, James Bond or Oliver Twist.

Some Europeans think we don't wash. I've heard the French called us "roast beef", but that may be because we call them frogs.

For the record, this is roast beef (as part of a roast): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Traditional.Sunday.Roast-01.jpg

This is what people think we look like: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/MDriver1981/BritishTeaDM_468x430.jpg

This is what we actually look like:http://clatl.com/binary/eca6/1377290043-end.jpg

I'm from the UK...or to give it its full name: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I live on the outskirts of London, in a town called Uxbridge.

Good Evening Titles are capitalised for every word, except connectives. It's more common to say "Good Evening" if you are going to continue saying something. People may be confused with the word "Goonight", which is a way of saying you are going to bed or leaving for the night. "Good night" is very rarely used, unless as a question like this: "Good night?"

Hi people how are you? Well, today was a hot day without much rain, I miss the rain, because it has rained so much in the past few years.

I feel global warming is changing the weather and is making the rain go away from my area. Anyway, I hope that we get enough rain this season that it will even rain in October, my Grandmother remembers that it used to rain all year, even in December.

The most important thing is to have rain for the fields but not to have it rain for too long. I don't know how to explain it, but they it can rain for too long. I haven't paid attention to the weather until now. OK bye for now, goodnight everybody

I think I understood what you meant about the rains; you want it to rain, but not so much that it floods the fields and ruins the crops. We have a phrase in English "The rains in Spain fall mainly on the plain", which comes from "My Fair Lady"...your note reminded me of this and I thought you'd like to hear about an English phrase! Well done!

Learning English

I have been studying English for eight months. I have been studying on websites and practicing with partners on italki or facebook. Your use of ",also" wasn't wrong but it reads easier if you seperate two sentences. You could also use a semi-colon to link them "...practicing with partners on italki or facebook; I sometimes..." I sometimes watch videos in English, with subtitles in English. During this vacation, I hope to improve my You could also say "to be better at" English, I want to Use "to" to indicate the inifinitive practice a lot, read, watch videos, sing, and write daily on italki no matter my mistakes, because I'm a student.

Thanks.

Very good; it made sense, but watch out for verb tenses and making sure you use "to" as an infinitive marker for verbs as it some cases it can make the sentence mean something entirely different example: "I like[verb] to[infinitive indicator] fish[verb]" and "I like[verb] fish[noun]". Both these sentences mean different things, but the "to" indicates you are doing something, not expressing a like for something.

Association Agreement

A few days ago Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova signed an Association Agreement with the European Union. The country has prepared for a long time, but now we are a real European country. What does it promise for Georgia? Will we be more protected and more rich? Maybe it will be easier for Georgians to emigrate to more developed countries to earn money for their families; or maybe we are celebrating this event in vain and everything will be the same. Let's wait and see.
