The Victory Day and an unexpected surprise!

Oh, it was day full of surprises. You know, today Russians celebrate the Victory Day. I had to get up early to prepare myself for this triumph event. I took part in special squad called “Eternal regiment”. Our mission was to carry by the photographs of dead warriors in WWII. I put on my uniform and went to a parade. Our regiment was the latest to go. I mean, all organizations of in our town had to pass by before us. So, we had been standing for one and a half hours waiting for our turn. It was both cool and hot weather, so some times we were roasting under the sun like hotdogs and the other times it was so cold that we were shivering. At last, our turn came. We were going and all the people were applauding us. It was very exciting! Thus, we went to the place where we had to hang the portraits. It was the point nearby to the Eternal flame. Today day went down into the history because today the Eternal flame was lit had been lighted in our town. So, after the parade I decided to go home because there was nobody with whom I could celebrate this holiday. What’s more, I was really hungry because I never eat in the mornings. Having come home, I went to bed to read a book and suddenly I fell asleep; it always happens to me! When I awoke was awake I went to exercise. I got tired and went to my neighbor. When I was talking to her, I got a call from my mum and she asked me to go home quickly. I was afraid because my mother spoke with an angry tone. Although my conscience was clear and there was nothing to abuse(?) me. When I went in my yard I was a bit shocked. There were so many puppies walking there. There were eight of them! Eight! Except these two ones I got 3 weeks ago (does this mean, 'in addition to two others that I got three weeks ago? ie there were now 10). I wrote about it in my notebook. I don’t want you us to think that my crazy family brings every homeless animal to home. This is people are crazy around (does this mean, 'there are crazy people around'?). Those puppies had been thrown out to the place where my brother works. There they must be killed but my brother decided to find homes the hosts for them. So he brought him them home. They age is about are about one month old. Of course, my brother is not going to find them homes hosts. It will be my work as always. Tomorrow I am going to go to the town centre with some of them with a plate “Give in kind hands” "Free to a good home". Maybe it is strange for you because it is regulated in countries such as US and Britain. But there are not any laws for the animal protection laws in Russia. Maybe there y are but I’ve never heard of them. Thus, there are many homeless animals walking around and because of it many people are suffering. <em>(It is not clear why homeless animals make people suffer)</em>

Hello

I am Turkish. My purpose is to practise english, meet people, and learn about other cultures.

(not sure if that is what you meant by the last four words).

My great experience on Italki

Italki.com is the first online community that I have ever attended to learn a foreign language. I'm having good experiences and memories here.
Firstly I get grammar corrections from other member. It is very useful and it helps me to improve my writing skill a lot. I appreciate it very much.
Secondly, I have made lots of new friend overseas. They are so kind, humorous, open-minded and they even have great voices. My pronunciation is not good and sometimes I feel ashamed but they encourage me a lot. Thank you so much!
I also receive answers to almost all my questions and discussions. Those topics are not only good for vocabulary learning but also suitable for generating ideas.
Tonight I had sweet and exciting chat with my language partner. I hope that my pronunciation did not create any misunderstandings during the conversation.
Well, it's 03:00 am now and I need to go to bed. I wish you all a nice day!

About me

Hi!

I will be an Au Pair this year, so I need to write about who I am to families. Can someone correct this for me?

I'm single, twenty three years old, a brazilian who graduated in Environmental Engineering in 2014 and at present I work as a certification assistant in a pulp and paper company. I work monday through Friday.

I like sports very much. I usually ride a bike on tuesdays, climb on thursdays, saturdays and sundays, and I also skate sometimes. My sport favorite is climbing; overcoming fear, making it to the top is awesome. It is not only a sport, but a lifestyle.

I love the outdoors, nature, exploring, travelling... To travel is essential for life! I love animals – all animals. Because of this I am a vegetarian.

I don't have a religion, I believe in God, but I prefer not to be part of a religion. I have an open mind. I respect people because we are the same.
