My cat.
My cat is Persian breed. He is ginger. (Orange cat? How to say right? Ginger!) His name is Persik or Персик. He is very fluffy long haired boy and his fur is all over the house! О.о He likes to sleep and eat :D I love him.
Hi Victoria! I did just a few corrections for you. Orange cat = ginger cat. Your Persik looks very happy on your picture. Regards. Eva

Correction:
Firstly we need to get some juicy vegetables- tomatoes, sweet capsicum (red and green), carrot, and green onion(shallots). Of course, don't forget little bit of salt and pepper for a spice.

I hope you are doing well.
I corrected just a little bit you article about your granddaughter.
This is absolutely amazing how you described your feelings. You have deep connection together. You know why she came to your family and she knows it too. I wish you both great learning journey and a lot of happiness in your life!
I like reading your articles, pleas write more.
All the best

here is correction:
She came and changed our lives completely. We became grandmother and grandfather, father and aunt. When I look at her I understand that I want to get acquainted with her. It is a new person and I want to be next to her every minute and learn her habits, gestures and body language. She has such a small face and eyes, her fingers look like a toy, when she smiles I feel love in my heart. She is very lovely - never cries loud, smiles all the time. Now I am not afraid of death. I see her and I realize - she is part of me and I will not die, even I die physically. I realize, she helped me already, and I want to be next to her all my life to help her when she needs it. I love her so much!

I'm sorry i was very busy and didn't have time to write you earlier. This Kazakh tradition is very beautiful and very meaningful. It is so nice the runner is white colour because it symbolised happy future for young couple. I understand why every woman cries when the bride walks on this very special runner made by her mother towards her husband.
I am sending you little correction and i must say your English is very good. Keep up good work!
I am looking forward for your next interestion article. If you don't understand something I wrote, let me know, I explain.
"Ak zhol" in Kazakh language means "White way". This article is about wedding day by our traditions.
When young couple have decided to marry, usually they have two wedding days - "send offs of fiancee" and wedding day. Send off of fiancee is prepared and paid by bride's parents and wedding day is prepared and paid by groom's parents. Today I would like to tell you about "send off fiancee", more precisely about the final ceremony of this event.
At the end of the dinner with toasts, dancing, etc., mother of bride lays on the floor "ak zhol" - it is long white runner, made of white textile with golg kazakh traditional ornament by sides. We believe - the longer, wider and more beautiful the runner is, the happiest life waiting for young couple. And every mother tries to make the longest and the most beautiful runner. So, the runner is placed in the hall, up to the door entrance, the guests stand by sides, not stepping on the runner. The bride and her parents are at the beginning and the groom and his parents are at the end of the runner, near the entrance. Than the parents of the bride have small toast with their wishes and hopes to their new son-in-law and send their daughter to walk the runner to her husband . Usually in this exciting moment all women are crying.
After the bride gets to the groom, they walk out and go to the groom's home with all groom's relatives, and the guests continue to celebrate. It is another very beautiful Kazakh tradition, which I love so much and dreaming to prepare it for my daughter.At the end of the dinner with speeches… here correct word for speech is “toast” You use word “toast” when is some social event (dinner, lunch, party, etc…) and somebody has something to say to everybody. All people listen and one person says nice wishes or some interesting story…You use word “speech” if somebody speaks on some official meeting (not at dinner).
Mother of the bride puts to the floor… correct: puts on the floor,
“to” предлог направления for example” I am going to Astana, I am going to work
It is long white track - the word “track” means something like track for cyclists, here is correct to use the word “runner”, this is long carpet, usually in long halls, or on stairs,
“cloth” means тряпка,
All the best

Here is little correction. You are doing great with your English. When you write your article, read it to yourself. If some sentence is difficult to say, maybe needs some correction. Because English must flow like the river. Does it make sense?
I'd like to tell you about one interesting thing happened in our family. I have a niece, she lives in Geneva, Switzerland. She is Kazakh and her husband is Italian. Recently she gave birth to wonderful girl. Baby-girl was born December 5th, and now is 40 days old. According our traditions it is a big deal. All women - grandmothers, aunts, etc. gather together and do the ancient ceremony -" take away the baby from 40 days". This ceremony includes washing baby in the silver water, cutting nails and hair, also wishing the best to the baby. And after this ceremony all family have a nice dinner together.
Because of the baby in Geneva, 10 members of our family went to Switzerland - granny, great grandmother, 2 aunts, etc. They did this Kazakh ceremony in Italian home in Switzerland!
I think it is the best evidence that when we love each other, it doesn't matter where we are from, what language we speak, what color of skin we have.
The main thing in the world is Love!
(I know about a lot of similar examples. Why do people still carry the war on?)0 votedJanuary 11, 20150Hi Sunny,
I've tried to correct your entry but I didn't understand few things.
"taking off nails and hair" do you mean just cut little bits from baby's nails and hair? Because "taking off nails and hair" means take off whole nails and all hair.
-" take away the baby from 40 days". take away means "remove" in English. Your Kazakh ancient ceremony has some special meaning. Can I ask you what is that meaning? We'll be able to write your entry with correct meaning in English. I think these ancient traditions are very important to keep and let people from around the world know about them.
Regards
Eva

Some days ago I found out about Frida Kahlo. She was the famous Mexican painter. She made 55 self-portraits. I tried to describe one of her works "The Two Fridas". She had only one exhibition in her life. There is the Frida's Museum in the house where she lived. Her paintings are the most expensive among all female-painters in the world. But she sold none from her works in her life. Madonna likes Frida's paintings and said that only whose who also like them can be her friends. I don't like her paintings because I like something more real. Frida explained why she had painted many self-portraits :" I am so alone, I paint a person I know the best".
How sad person Frida was! No friends, no loving family! Her pictures don't look happy either! I agree with you, I don't like her pictures,too.
