English people and their boilers
Good morning. Today I am pretty happy because it's the first sunny day after an whole rainy week. I am going to start off this Saturday on the right foot, as I'm feeling serene and relaxed. And I can assure you that this is not an ordinary situation for me, since I'm more often in a hurry.
What is the perfect recipe to start the weekend in the best way?
1. Good breakfast
2. Chillout music in the background
3. A fresh shower
4. A good newspaper
I have all of them, but I'm going to focus on the fourth one. This morning I had neither the time nor the will to run down and buy a newspaper at the kiosk, so I had a look on the English magazine's website, The Independent.
I found the following light hearted but very curious news "What do immigrants really think of Britain?
http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/what-do-immigrants-really-think-of-britain-polish-immigrants-reddit-post-goes-viral-9699824.html
It tells about ('discusses' is a much better word or you could say 'talks about' rather than 'tells about') the insights posted on the web (useless information that makes sentence too long) by a Polish IT consultant living in UK who was baffled by some British people's obsessions and bad manners. First he said they often leave littering around the city, as Mc Donald's packaging is left on Tube's seats. Then he wrote that British people are obsessioned obsessed by their central heating and they constantly complain or brag about their boilers.
Do you think it's true?0 votedAugust 30, 20144- Introductions Salut! Je m'appelle Hannah, je viens d'Angleterre, mais j'habite à paris depuis un an. J'ai etudié la langue française quand j'avais 12 ans, mais juste pour deux ans un fois par semaine dans l'école, et j'ai oublié beaucoup maintenant! En Septembre je vais commencer l'école pour apprendre la langue française parce que je trouve que c'est mieux et comme ça je pense que je peux progresser plus rapidement! Dans Paris je travaille comme une fille au pair, et je l'aime beaucoup! Apres j'ai fini l'année ici je voudrais trouver le travaille dans paris, ou j'étudierai diplôme d'études supérieures. J'ai un TEFL et je voudrais enseigner l'anglais! Je veux apprendre la langue française parce que je veux habiter ici pour un longtemps et aussi parce que je trouve la langue française et la culture française très belle! Et une langue n'est jamais suffisante!August 29, 201430
Today
Today it's sunny, and very hot here.
This morning, I've got to do the washing up and the hoovering. Next, I've got to take a shower.
At lunch, my mother comes to eat with us ( my brother and me ), and after she returns to her work. After, I had only watched my series for 4 hours, my brother wanted to do go biking. So we took our bikes to do a promenade go for a ride. But of course, my brother wanted to eat an ice cream. It was warm so I said okay. Then, we went back to home, and I returned to watch my series! Happy ending.There was a sentence I was a little unsure what you were trying to say: 'After, I've only watched my serie during 4 hours.' So I have edited it to fit in with what I thought you meant. Sorry if it's not what you meant to say!

A week ago I was surfing the internet, searching for websites regarding online conversations in English. So I found a comment on a Blog, they recommended Italki, a website where I can find English teachers and tutors in English too. Then I searched for the website and I found it very interesting, So I registered and I paid 100 Dollars in order to start.

At the moment I am writing this , I am on the deck of my flat with a sea view. The temperature is ideal, around 28°. The sun is always out, most of the time.
Today is Sunday and I am benefitting from improving my English. I discovered Italki today. I hope to help some people to improve their French.
As this is the first note, I have begun with just a little text.
See you soon.
Frédéric(Hi, Frederic,
Your English is spelt correctly (minus 'see' instead of 'sea') so there are no problems there, however I have corrected and rephrased things in order to make it sound a little natural, like a native English speaker. Hope I helped!)
