Hello! My name's Ekaterina. But you can call me Kate) I'm Russian and I'm learning English my whole life. But I didn't achieve much though. Probably `cause it's always one-way information channeling: reading and audition. I have no conversational practice at all, and I don't write. Although sometimes - once in a couple of years! - I can write a poem or a song in English. And I talk to myself a lot, you know, it's always a pleasure to talk with a clever one ;-) I'm kinda TV-series geek) I adore scientific series, fantasy, fantastic etc. My favorites are Supernatural, Prison Break, Game of Thrones, Buffy, Gossip Girl, Smallville, Vampire Diaries, House M.D., etc. Currently I'm watching Shameless (USA), The 100, Stargate SG-1 and a few others. And I suppose I'm the only person on the planet who haven't seen Friends and The Big Bang Theory - shame on me! *facepalm* But I have them in my to-watch-next-list. I also love movies. And Dysney's cartoons!)) On youtube I prefer TED lections, English classes and tips, other interesting lections about science or discoveries. Everyday I read news to keep the track of events. Especially I pay attention to politic and economic, and new technologies, as well. But the truly passion of my life is music. I listen to it everywhere almost 24/7. And I love going to the concerts. I can't say who's my fav band because I like a lot of them. But I can name those I listen to constantly. They are Within Temptation - probably the favorite one, BTW! - Three Days Grace, Benjamin Breaking, Kamelot, Disturbed, Red, Skillet, Cold, Evanescence, Nightwish, OOMPH!, Aesthetic Perfection, Thousand Foot Krunch, Five Fingers Death Punch, Suicide Commando, Poets of the Fall and many others. Also I'm going crazy about Eurovision! I've watched it since 2000. And thanks to ESC I discovered a lot of good performers. Also I like musicals. My fav ones are Notre-Dame de Paris (French version) and Dracula: entre l'amour et la mort (also French). TBC... ;-)
