Cinemas in Spain have become less affordable for many people because of its' rising prices during recent years. I once watched the Lion King when I was younger. Tickets were sold for about five hundred pesetas, (before introducing the euro currency) which is about 3 euros.
As we speek at the moment, going to the cinema costs up to 8 or 9 euros.
Nevertheles, there are others alternatives to not spend a lot of money at cinemas. Fortunately, local cinemas have survived being placed in shopping centers, mantaining their essence and selling tickets a bit less pricey/with a less budget in order to attract customers .
Obviously, the seats aren't as comfortable nor the screen is as large but I think it's a great alternative for people who'd like to go to the movies.0 votedMay 27, 20150Dress code at work
What do you think about the dress code at work?
A dress code is the kind of clothes you wear at work. I'll be talking about two types of dress codes: the casual one, and the formal one.
The casual dress code are clothes you feel relaxed in: for ex. a polo shirt, jeans, sneakers. However, clothes mustn't be too worn out, nor too eccentric.
The formal dress code is more refined, and is usually a suit for men, with a tie and smart shoes. For women, it's a tailored skirt, with heeled shoes.
The dress code depends on what your role is and the company you're working for. Usually, employees who're dealing with customers or business partners, like receptionists, HR tend to wear Business men and women should avoid wearing casual clothes.
Even if you are not directly in contact with customers, some sectors of activities require their employees into following the formal dress code. Such sectors as banks, real estates, insurance companies...etc.
Having to follow a dress code has advantages and dissadvantages ( its' ups and downs): you may not feel comfortable wearing/in a suit during summer because of the excess heat. The casual dress code is less stressful than the formal one, whithout the need of sending dirty/worn clothes to the cleaners. One of the advantages include you apearing more experienced/educated to people, as well as impressing them at first sight. It also involves a huge difference between work and personal life. Once you've taken your formal suit off, you know that your job's been done.0 votedMay 26, 20152TOEFL (struggling regarding the speaking section)
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to find a partner in order to help me study for this this section! I need to get a passing grade of at least 26 in order to start a process into convalidating my career as a Physical Therapist in the United States!Tip: Don't stress. Being able to speak English has to do with rhythm. If you manage to analyze what you're saying out loud quickly and aknowledge at least a few words then you're off the chain. Also, if you want to sound fluent, just speak fast...act like it's not a big deal and you're not even thinking about you're going to say next.
Tip #2: Key of sounding fluent in English is speed. The amount of speed you speak with equals to the amount of fluency you have.

This is my third year in college. In fact, it's almost the end of the semester. It's been really busy. My course is really difficult. I became the leader of the international volunteer team. It's a bit challenging for me. But I know that that it'll all soon pass, and good things will come. I'm going to Cambodia this summer, following Taichung regarding a childrens' summer camp. By the end of this summer, I plan on travelling around Taiwan again with the difference of hitchhiking. I look forward to travelling!!

Hello everyone
Today I wanna talk about the new languages I'm learning.
So, I'm learning english, because I feel like knowing how to speak it would help me communicate with people everywhere.
What I like about this language? the accent, pronunciation, and the way it's simply spoken.Unfortunatly, I don't have much time for studying, but I'm looking into different ways to do so.
I wanna learn how to speak spanish too. Since the language is similar to portuguese, I feel it'll be easier for me to comprehend and I know it'll be very useful.
Like I said, I'm very interested in learning those two languages, and I hope into finding people with the same interest so that we'd eventually become partnes.
I'm also interested in learning italian and russian. One by one though.
So, thank you for your time and hope you have a wondeful day !
See you/Talk later!0 votedMay 26, 20151Mistakes! *corrected*
Excuse me, could you correct my mistakes? I registrated into an English website and I need to write a biography about myself! I'd love it if I wouldn't make any mistakes!
*Hello c:*
"I'm from Murmansk! It's really cold here. My hobbie is watercolor drawing, hand crafting and anything that has to do with creativity. I'm studying art and i'd like to make changes in the world, making it more beautiful with my creations. I hope I'll be able to achieve my goal!c:
I'm always looking forward into communicating with people from all over the world, for the fact that I want to learn English. It's my biggest dream!"0 votedMay 26, 20150I was looking for a way to improve my English, both speaking and writing wise... that's when I discovered Italki! :)
I enjoy the fact that I can write notes that can then be read and corrected by native English speakers, who can help me understand my mistakes and give suggestions into improving the way of expressing myself.
I work really hard when it comes to English, for the fact that I dream of becoming a fluent speaker.
I keep hoping that it'll happen one day.
Unfortunately my work doesn't allow me much free time, leading to me not being able to see any movies or TV series ( in neither Italian or English), so I can't experience entertaining ways of learning and improving the language... But I'm sure that i'll eventually achive my goal even if I'm not being given enough time!! :)
By the way, the hardest part for me is when it comes to actually speaking it: writing isn't that hard (even though I know I do alot of mistakes), but speaking is alot harder: you have less time to think what you're about to say while mentally traducing it. You should also be able to pronouce words correctly... I wish it were as easy thinking in English as much as it is being able to speak it. I must admit, it's quite difficult but would eventually help me speak faster, and better! :)0 votedMay 26, 20151
