Activities
- Yes, I agree that either one will work. In my opinion, however, "make him understand" implies more of a frustration/anger with you really laboring at trying to "get him" to understand. Very, very subtle differences, but I visualize "making him understand" as more of an argument and "getting him to understand" as a softer conversation.0 votedMarch 8, 20160

- (I'm not sure if I changed the meaning of your final sentence or if that's what you meant to say) Living without a smartphone. A lot of people have smartphones, in fact probably more than one, and they spend hours using it. Few of them can live without a smartphone and they can’t imagine how it would be. I want to tell you some advantages and disadvantages of living without a smartphone. The first advantage would be that you can spend more time talking to each other instead of using social networks. Secondly, you have more time doing more creative things like reading or painting. Thirdly, you can have more time outdoors, and you would be more fit. On the other hand, there are disadvantages. For example, what if you are lost and you can't use a GPS, or if you need to check your email? Another disadvantage to not having a smartphone would be the inability to talk with people who live a long distance from you. In conclusion, although living without a smartphone has some advantages, I think today it's unrealistic to think we should just use the smartphone to call and sms.0 votedMay 18, 20151
Some new friends
Hello everybody! I'm happy to tell you that I'm making some new friends this way. I've been at italki for a few days now and I already have a considerate number of friends who want to help me improve my English. Since I started doing this I feel more confident. This is thanks to people who want to help each other.

Changing a woman's mind is much more effective than changing her looks by cosmetic plastic surgery to be more beautiful. When she gains more confidence she can be more beautiful without realizing it.
I found this out it when I was working at a make up salon.
As they get better at putting on make up, they get confident and it helps
them look more beautiful.
And perhaps, how they are treated during a photo shoot was also important for them.
I've heard it and thought it was interesting that women in countries where the temperature is higher and there are many beaches, like in Brazil, spend more money for skincare.
I think women in The UK or other cities spend more on their clothes or make up items instead.
What kind of woman is thought to be beautiful is really different depending on the area and times.
In Japan, the definition of beauty is a bit different from other countries.
Japanese people think looking cuter is better than being beautiful or sexy.
However, as the number of foreigners in Japan is increasing there are more
international couples here.
So I feel the standard for beautiful in Japan is changing again.0 votedMay 16, 20151Happy
Today I adopted a dog. It's a boy and he is white and strong. He is 3 months old. I feel very happy because I live alone and sometimes I want company. I love animals, have always had dogs but since I've lived alone I haven't.
I haven't give him a name, maybe you can help me with that.0 votedMay 16, 20154
