    #1 The mystery massacre of horses in France

    In recent months, around twenty horses have been killed and mutilated all around the French territory/France. It can/could be a normal horse or a racehorse and the culprit would kill the horse and take out/remove one organ as the heart (or damage the body). It started in May 2020. The link between all of those crimes is the right ear which is cut off and taken away each time. Police cannot identify if it's the crime of one person or a group. Since yesterday, they made a robot portrait of the main suspect.

    This true story gives me goosebumps. I'll give you some updates next time.
    Thanks a lot for your correction :)

    Yes, it's terrible.

    I'd say Strawbs and Steeleye Span. Never heard of them? Find them on youtube.

    A book about Leo Tolstoy

    I want to tell you about the last book I listened to. It’s called «The Leo Tolstoy’s life» by Andrey Zorin.
    All Tolstoy’s novels and stories were based on his life. His characters were similar(?) with him, his family members and friends.
    This book was written for a wide readership. The author tells us about Tolstoy’s childhood, youth, maturity/manhood, <s>about</s> his beliefs and prototypes for his novels.
    My favorite book is called «Anna Karenina». It was interesting to know that Tolstoy had written about himself when he was talking about two men — Levin and Vronsky. Levin was a positive person, like the first part of the writer’s soul/mind. Vronsky was a difficult person, like the second part of the writer’s soul/mind. Tolstoy used this method in «War and Peace» too, when he was writing about Bolkonsky and Bezukhov.
    This book is full of remarkable facts. I was listening to the audiobook during my lunch breaks and after work. It was amazing.

    I'm learning Italian and Portuguese, but I don't have a system for learning. Since I want to keep learning as long as I live, I think it's important to avoid setting goals. Maybe this sounds stupid, but it's working for me. I would recommend doing whatever you feel like, but you should do reading, writing, speaking and listening in the language you want to learn.

    Anyway, I'm certain that Kato' Lomb can give you better advice than me: https://wonderfulaustralia.info/kato-lomb-how-i-learn-languages-24/

    Third Notebook

    Today I want to talk about Alexander Borodin. He was a chemist and musical composer. Borodin was one of the most important Russian composers and he was part of the Mighty Handful. At the same time, his work in chemistry was very important, especially regarding aldehydes.
    However, I don't like very much Borodin's compositions and I don't know anything about chemistry. What interests me about Borodin, is that he was able to do both at the same time. This inspires me. I want to study economics (especially, the application of statistical methods to economic data), while I continue to study jazz and composition. It's to hard to me,and for this reason often I think about Borodin.

    Who I am?

    My name's Xavier. I was born in Terrassa near Barcelona. I'm 49 years old, but I don't believe it!.
    I remember when my grandmother said to me that life passes very fast.

    I studied psychology at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, but I don't work as a psychologist. I'm a regional sales manager in an industrial electric factory. It's called Circutor SA.

    I have a son. His name's Otger and he is five years old.

    I'm very happily married with Nuria since 1997.

    I'm not very good at languages, but I like very much when I can speak with another person/someone else that doesn't speak my main languages: Català and Spanish.

    I hope that one day I will have a good English level in order to speak with a lot of people around the world.

    I wish you that you are happy

    My first draft ( What I think about writing)

    Learning a new language alone is a great challenge (to me). I think it's fun, but sometimes it’s frustrating. For the last seven months, I have been trying to write whitout use a translator...WELL...I didn't. hahaha. I'VE FAILED. -But why? I don't know. Sometimes I'm stupid. I think that all people/everyone will judge me. Well, right now you that talk or have talked with me know why I don't write in your language so much. I just don't feel comfortable. >

    Can you correct for me?

    I’m a native Portuguese speaker and I live in Brazil.

    I'm learning English and I'd like to practice with native English speakers.
    If you aren't a native English speaker, but you are learning Portuguese I can practice Portuguese to help you, no problem.
