    Goose Bumps

    Most people have experienced goose bumps. It is an involuntary reflex called the pilomotor reflex. Tiny muscles beneath the skin contract and pull our hair to an upright position. This is how we get goose bumps. They occur anywhere that we have hair on our body, but the most common places are our arms and legs. This reflex is a natural reaction to feelings like fear, cold, and happiness.

    Animals experience the pilomotor reflex too. For example, when a cat is frightened by an enemy, the cat's hair will stand on end. It makes the cat look bigger and it may scare away the enemy. The pilomotor reflex can also help animals to stay warm.

    Many scientists think that the pilomotor reflex is useless for people. It doesn't keep us very warm (although it does prevent some heat from leaving the body), and it doesn't make us look bigger.


    Nice job! :)

    French Fries

    Hello! It's This is like a transcript from a vlog I did speaking where I talked about french fries. I usually record myself speaking about a topic in English when I don't have anyone to practice with me. :) I'm looking forward for to your corrections. Thank you!
    "Hello! This time I'm gonna talk about French fries because Lucas (my boyfriend) challenged me to talk about it for 5 minutes and just in English, so... Here we go!
    I love French fries! I think it's my favorite food, actually. I remember when my mom used to cook French fries for us at lunch. It was homemade; very delicious! At this point, I had never ate eaten French fries in a restaurant or something like that... So... Oh! I remembered that she used to fried fry the potato peel too. But now my parents don't cook this  make them anymore because they say it's unhealthy. Yeah, I know, French fries are not healthy, but... :/ 
    And when I started dating Lucas we always went to eat French fries at Libanesa (it's a Brazilian restaurant in Botucatu - the city we used to live). We went almost nearly every week to eat it  them with garlic sauce, parmesan cheese and bacon.
    Also, Lucas and I used to cook and eat it them at dinner while we were watching something (usually some TV show).
    Now, as you know, because we are living live in the Netherlands as you know... And they really love french fries here. The Dutch way is very famous, and there is a place called Manneken Pis in Amsterdam and that they say it's has the best French fries in the Netherlands.
    I love the French fries here, especially because of the sauce... The best one, and the most famous, is mayonnaise. But you can it too  can also eat them with curry (I love this one!), catchup ketchup, American sauce (more spiced), etc... It's wonderful!
    We also ate Belgium French fries. They say French fries was were created in Belgium; I don't know the history about French fries... And I don't know if it's true, but they say their French fries is are the best of in the world. I don't think so, I prefer the Dutch French fries.
    That's all. I spoke about French fries for 5 minutes. Bye bye!"

    My problem analyze! Analyze my problem!

    I can't mastering the English language! .. Why?
    Because I didn't practice it!...Why you don't I practice?
    Because I didn't read and I don't have one to tack with! (Do you mean to say "I don't have a book to practice with" or "I don't have anyone to practice with"?) ... Why you don't I read at least?
    Because I don't have time to read! ... Why you don't I have time?
    Because I lose my time in play I spend too much time playing.

    so I should be have time management.
      I should practice my time management skills.

    But my opinion is different. Nowadays, most of people would be 24 years old or older more than that after their graduation. So if they get married before 30, there would only be a few years left to fulfill their dream (What dream? Of having a family? Being more specific may help here). Besides... people now live longer than before, especially for women; so it is quit quite reasonable for a girl having to have her baby after 30 years old, or even 40 years old. And  Not only that, but getting married too early also can cause some social problems. For example, a stable environment is needed for a couple with a child, but some family families can’t afford the expensive things like a house or an education. It’s quit quite hard for a man to earn enough money without more than 5 years of working experience, so getting married too early with a bad economic situation might bring a lot of pressure for the individuals, and eventually, this kind of common pressure would cause some social issues. In conclusion, I don’t agree with the view that people should get married before they are 30. This is old-fashioned and the time getting married should be based on their own conditions rather tan age only.

    Do you believe that people should be encouraged to get married before they are 30?

    When I was in my twenties my parents would always asked me for some information whether or not I have had a girlfriend when I was in my twenties. They wanted me to get married before age 30. As a matter of fact, I was not used to those questions. Although I got married 4 years ago when I was 28 years old, I still disagree with the conception that people should find their Mr/Mrs right before they are 30. In my From my point of view, some people have are given this opinion for two reasons: one is that it’s better to have a baby when you are young. The older the woman is, the more risky for her to give birth to a baby. The other one Reason two is that a family is a more stable unit than two bachelors in the society community. A man with his a wife and children would not commit crime due to his responsibilities. Nonetheless, a bachelor would be more free to do anything; even if it is for something which is bad for the society.

     My vacation dream

    The Most people want to go a comfortable vacation; I mean go to a unique place, stay in the best hotel,  and eat the most extravagant food and  among other expensive luxurious things. The best way  for me to travel in during a vacations for me is as backpacking. For the same price (Same price of what? Staying in a hotel?) you can visit more places. My dream has always was been to travel around Europe by train and going on a cruise.

    In Europe you can visit a lot of many  anciant  ancient places. I want to sail on Venice streets, go up to the Eiffel tower, and walk around London and other wonderful countries. There is a facility with the train tickets  because you can buy one you can buy to visit many and visit a lot of countries.

    Why Grammar Rules Are So Boring To Learn?

    I've been learning English since a long time ago for a very long time. Despite many restarts and withdrawals, I decided to buy an English Grammar Book and to study it by myself.

    Studying by myself has been an interesting process, I have to tell you. I'm improving fast with the grammar rules and the correct form to say or to write something.

    At the same time, I have to make you a confession: grammar is so boring to learn! I have to make a considerable effort to keep my focus on it, and I've tried to do the exercises with a real discipline.

    For To help me to keep my concentrate concentration on my grammar's studies, I put me I set myself a goal; witch which is to finish my english grammar book until by the end of this year. Then I will buy the book's  one's next level to achieve my biggest goal: to speak English naturally.

    Beyond the book, I've studied with amazing articles here on Italki and I've watched T.V. series in the English language with English subtitles.

    If you're able to help me to keep my focus on the English learning process, let me know your recommendations or suggestions after your correction. I'll appreciate it a lot! Tks!

    I personally think that sentence is fine. However, I would be careful who you say it to. I would also be careful with tone because with english tone is very important. There is a chance that someone would think you are being mean when you say this, even though you are just teasing and not trying to be malicious.

    diary #6 coffee

    please correct this.

    I had a glass cup of coffee with whipped cream this morning. It is called wiener coffee in Japan. I usually drink black coffee but sometimes I want sweets.
    I should run more than usual because I'm on a diet.



    Note: "Glass" is not technically wrong, but normally "cup" would be used here instead. Other than that, your notebook entry looks fine to me! Also, that coffee sounds delicious!
