My name is Kat and I'm from the United States. I was born in Russia, but emigrated here at a very young age. I currently work in healthcare, where I meet people of various nationalities, cultures and races. I believe it's important to be progressive in a global society and market. Overall, my goal on Italki is to offer my experience as a native English speaker to those who wish to learn English as a community tutor. Learning is a challenging, but highly rewarding process for the student and the teacher.

    I like his personality because he has an affective personality on people. <em>(Describe an affective personality. Do you mean contagious? Is it positive? Is it conducive to learning?)</em>

    I like him because he has a positive influence on people. <or>

    I am growing with hard time

    i am growing with hard time.

    Does it make sense? If not, how can I express it?
    (What I want to say is that I am having a hard time and realizing many things from many hard situations and learning from them.)

    And is there anything else's natural way to express it?

     

     

    I'm maturing. 

    I'm developing my character.

    I'm learning life's lessons, (which may be difficult at times).

    improve my english

     

    Hi, I'm Sara an italian girl my name is Sara and I'm from Italy. I'm studying medicine at a university and I'd like to improve my english because it isn't very good. I studied it at school, but I didn't have a good theacher, and at the university we don't have an english course. I think that the English language will be very important in my future because many medicine's magazines <em>magazines about medicine or medical journals</em> are written in english. I'd also like to live in another country in the future, so learning english is very important to me and I'm very motivated. And if you are learning italian I'm sure I can help you.
    So contact me and we can learn italian and english toghether! CIAO!!!!

     

    I think you will learn English grammar very quickly. Great job on the notebook entry!

    Quick tips:

    For non-specific places/things: I'm studying medicine at a university. 

    Specific places/things: I'm studying medicine at the university I attend. I think the English/Italian language is important to learn. 

    You can also just say "I think learning English will be important in my future..." , then there is no need for an article at all.

    Xi'an(西安) [266]

    Xi'an is now one the of China's famous tourist cities and the political center of Shaanxi Province. During the Tang Dynasty, Xi'an was called Chang'an and was also the political center. Xi'an has many historical sites and is famous for its excellent cuisine. The most distinctive cuisine is noodle.

    It is easy to access to Xi'an. You can take a train, a car or a plane. However, flying to Xi'an is not recommended because the airport is relatively far from downtown.

    (This is a liberal translation of a Chinese text from "http://bitex-cn.com/". I did not post the original text, so just correct my English. Thank you in advance.)

     

    Great job.

    Autumn's Rain

     

    The autumn clouds sprinkle pearls on the ground.
    The leaves slowly flutter to the ground.
    The leaves on the trees are being frightened, and fall when the powerful wind forces them to ground.
    Like the battle between fall's wind and trees, there is always a challenge between my and your love, inside my heart's underground.

    (In memorialize of Mohsen Pezeshkiyan)

    What's the real glory ? <em>OR Where's the real glory? </em>

    We can't choose our features , races , and/or our social classes. 
    God created some people with much physical beauty. On the other hand, he made some people ugly. <em>(or unattractive is a bit nicer, but not as strong)</em>
    Some people are born into a good family and they <em>(referring to people)</em>  inherit money and a good reputation, but they are the ones who dont have a good family and reputation .
    There is little glory and remorse for such people. 
    There is no glory in these easy things which we find when we are born. Glory rests/develops in the things we create later in life.
    And we can't find real beauty in our faces which we didn't choose. The real beauty exist inside us; in our actions and our words .
    Don't judge me according my color, gender, race, religion, and the family which I belong to. 
    I have nothing to do with all these things. I was simply born, and then created my identity. You can only judge me by my morals and the way I deal with people .
    To me, there is no glory in these things you own(ed), 
    And no guilt towards those who these things do not possess! 


    Glory is bestowed upon those who maintain their freedom , and deal with people as humans beings should, regardless of our differences. 


    In conclusion, real glory is not what you got from your parents or grandparents.
    It's what you do and what your kids and grandkids will know about you ..

     

    Beautiful piece/essay. Please continue your work!


    Thank you for reading :)

    The first snow Comes quietly. The autumn leaves haven't all fallen yet, and the winter worries and wants to come. The weather becomes cold suddenly.

    To be or not to be... a programmer. =)

    Hi everyone! I'm 26 y.o. I've worked as a chef at a cafe about 3 years. And some time ago I've started feeling that it is not my calling. In the past, I had worked in many different places, and tried my hand at different professions. Now I have found a new passion. It's programming. There are many things which I should study before I become a good specialist. But I am afraid that it will be boring for me, when I will become a professional.

     

    Calling has a dual meaning. The one applicable in this situations means "a strong urge toward a particular way of life or career; a vocation" source google. 

     

    try your hand at something means to try doing something for the first time. (i.e. I might try my hand at a bit of Indian cooking.) source http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/try+hand+at

     

    When there are new new requirements, code may change. API's change, features become deprecated. From what I understand, coding is challenging and requires attention and thoroughness. Good job on the post!

    Did It Really Happen Or Was It Just Suggestion?

    Imagine this situation. You´re a radio talk show host working for a less famous radio station. You work at night, and the radio station can´t afford a sound technician, so you have to do both jobs. That means that you´re the only person in the building at that time. This was the work routine of a radio presenter who went through a very scary situation.
    Since she started to work in that building, she used to hear noise made by the lifts , as if they were moving. This was an imposible situation because there was nobody but her in the building. She tried to ignore it, thinking that maybe it was her imagination.
    Additionally, when she was in the middle of her program, she claimed that she could hear clearly, quick footsteps approaching the studio door. She had to make an enormous effort to control herself and not to shout in the middle of her program (or programme, British version).
    In addition, she affirms to have seen a very hazy figure of what appeared to be a child. She could only distinguish his arms and shoulders, and this child talked to her, but she could barely understand him.
    This situation began to drive her crazy, and she got really anxious. She didn´t know what to think about it.
    All the aforementioned events happened to her on a regular basis, so you can imagine how worried she was. Her life was becoming a complete mess.
    It wasn´t until she had a conversation with some co-workers, that she found out that everybody working there had experiences very similar to hers. <em>(You can actually say "...had had experiences similar to hers." It looks weird, but I'm 95% sure it is correct too)</em>
    In the end, she got a job offer from another company and had no trouble accepting it. Even today, more than fifteen years later, when she talks about that situation her voice is trembles, and she insists that she wouldn´t enter that building again for the world.
    My question is, how would you react if something like that happened to you?

     

     

    Awesome entry. Very spooky and just-in-time for Halloween! ;)   

    I probably wouldn't enter without some ghost gear (spectrometer, magnetometer, camera)!
