A young couple humiliated on the subway

This is what happened on the subway on Saturday. When I stepped into the subway, I saw a couple hugging each other. They seemed to be talking to each other quietly, staring at one another in the into each other's eyes. Then, suddenly, a voice exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing? This is a public place!" It was an old woman sitting across from them. Her scolding went on for a little while. I didn't know how long they were hugging and or how icky inappropriate it was because I hadn't been there all along the whole time. But I felt pity for them because they looked completely embarrassed, and even insulted. They released their hugging each other, and stood apart. The whole situation got me thinking if it was right for the old woman to tell the couple what to do, and if this kind of things happens in other countries too.

overall really great :) I think it was a little bit out of line for the old lady to yell at the couple, but I guess for some more old-fashioned people, hugging in public seems inappropriate. I for one do not think so, and the couple seems really cute.  

same here. message me for my skype. 

Borders

It's something I don't understand. Why does mankind is still needing to create borders and focus on their differences. I don't understand why people are so afraid to lose their culture, when they are the ones who have the power to keep it alive. To be honest, would that it be that horrible if a culture were to change? The world is always changing and will continue to do so. Why do we that fear of change?... I think this world will be a better place the day that most people will come to understand that humanity is way (way is kind of informal) much stronger when it's working together than when every individual thinks about him/herself or for a small group (understand here nation). It's Maybe because I'm Canadian and that I have lived in a country where multiculturalism is promoted, that I strongly believe so much that mixing the populations around the globe will create a better world.

Is it right to chase your dream?

What is your dream? Do you want to be wealthy? I think the answer for most will be " Yes, I do". I read a real true story about a man. He really wanted to be rich and he tried to do a lot of things just to make money, so he spent his life chasing his dream of getting more cash. What was did the result? He didn't earn as much money as he wanted. He became bored and seemed to have given up on everything. But suddenly, he changed his mind. He didn't think as much about making money, but rather focused on what he loved to do, which was helping others. Soon opportunities came (what kind of opportunities are you talking about?) to him easier than before and he was also able to achieve his initial dream for money. Success came easily for the man after he contributed something of value to the world. For me, the lesson I learned from the story is that when you give something, you would might get something unexpected in return. 

Best friends always find each other

I had a best friend in my secondary school. We thoroughly understood each other. We could confide in each other for hours. I told her everything about me: my family, my idol, the boy I like, girls I hate, and she, too, did the same. However we lost contact for over 6 years because we didn't study in the same high school and I also lost my cellphone twice :((
Lately, I have missed her so much. So, I started to search for her on facebook and tried to find if we had any mutual friends. Luckily, I found and contacted her. We met up in a Korean restaurant. The food in that restaurant is plain so it is often empty. There, we reconnected and talked for over 5 hours. If she didn't have to tutor a primary student, we could have talked more. But now, we chat with each other every day. I'm so happy and I feel that life is better. 
Therefore, I think "Best friends always find each other" :D

打得到目的吗？

最近我的表姐为了要去意大利留学跟她爸爸吵架。我妈妈支持她的设计师的梦想，但是我的舅舅觉得去意大利没有用，而且会浪费钱。我不知道我该要支持谁。如果我表姐去意大利，她需要在一年的时间把意大利文学好。italki 上有好多人在努力的学语文，但是如果一个人要把一个语言完整的学好，需要多少时间呢？她的老师都会用意大利文来教课，所以如果我表姐不明白课中的资料，那就不是浪费了时间和钱吗？这是我舅舅认为会发生的。但是再反过来想，如果我表姐能好好在意大利读书，那她回到中国就会算是超级棒的人，谁都会想邀请她。你说她的梦想能不能成现实吗？

Hey Irina, 

Oftentimes native speakers shorten words and or leave certain ones out. For example, in standard english a person might say "I have to go do something" but in a slang or more colloquial way we would say "I gotta go do something". Although it is grammatically incorrect, people still say it.
