Hi there, I'm Gary and I live in London. I work for a computer software company and have travelled extensively over the years. I have always been interested in languages and have tried to learn some basic words and phrases in the language of the countries I have visited. Other than English I speak basic French and would like to learn Italian because it is such a beautiful language to listen to. I have never been to Italy but it is top of my list of places to go next. I am looking to make friends on Italki and find someone who can teach me Italian. Maybe I can help them with English in return. This is something new for me and I am looking forward to the experience. That's all for now. Please get in touch if you would like to.

    Summer in London

    This summer I decided to spend August in London and I found a good english school in the centre of the city. Basically I was excited by the idea to of liveing alone far from my home and I set about to seek an finding accommodation.
    As I could be expected the prices were very high and the apartments or were horrible or were too far away.
    I was desperate because August was approaching and I couldn't find anything.
    At In the end one of my friends helped me to finding a the perfect accomodation in a nice district, to shareing with other two funny guys. and I was grateful to her.

    My smt (what is this?)

    So,I learned english for a lot many years at school and university. But regardless it's don't it hasn't given me enough experience or knowledge. I think that for all that time which I have spent learneding it I must be very prosperous in it should be very good by now. Maybe I'm just so too lazy or I had bad teachers or it's the education system,who knows. But I think that it's my guilty fault if be I'm honesty. I'm so lazy I don't want to hardworking hard. I just want take pleasure from to enjoy learning that and I hope that I have found a good way on Italki.Waiting for your comments.

    -----------------------------------

    You have good vocabulary and need to work a bit on your grammar. I think that Italki will help you.

    What is Freedom of Speech?

    According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone has the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”. This is the “officially accepted” definition of freedom of speech. Nevertheless, it is necessary to mention that the freedom of speech is a notion that has caused many controversyies and a few boundaries need to be drawn accordingly.
    Initially, Freedom of Speech is one of the most basic rights of man. Every citizen, may, accordingly, speak, write, and press publish with freedom. It is essential to the exchange of ideas and to the establishment of of an inclusive and transparent government. A glimpse of Chinese history illustrated that almost any enlightened and prosperous dynasty was characterized by a cavalcade of righteous ministers who would speak bluntly to their emperor. Many would even risk their lives to argue with the nobility for the sake of the public good. A good emperor, like Emperor Taizong of Tang, one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, would allowed his ministers to speak about hearsay without fear exemption of being accused of libel. Thanks to his modesty and open-mindedness ."Reign of Zhenguan"-a golden age was created.
    Freedom of speech, however, is not a matter of downright black and white; It is not something mockery - in the disguise of an expression of opinion. It is something said with due respect to the subject of the speech; It is something with many shades of graey. Therefore, certain boundaries must be drawn. On the Monday of January 7, two brothers forced their way into the office of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical weekly magazine and opened fire, killing twelve. This“deplorable”atrocity, arguably, results from the disturbing illustration emergence of a growing offensive expression synonymous with Islamphobic racistsm. The abuse of the free speech is also evident ion the Internet whose which unique characteristics allows users to present themselves anonymously, through the use of pseudonyms and avatars. Consequently, the Internet may be used for cyberbullying through inflammatory languages messages.
    Freedom of speech truly is a basic human right but it also assumes a level of responsibility on the part of those who exercise these freedoms, in the form of as an invisible social contract. As John Stuart Mill put in On Liberty “The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community is to prevent harm to others".

    You write very well, have an excellent vocabulary and your writing has a good flow to it. I have removed some words which are not necessary. As a general rule, less words and more simplicity is better.

    This is a style of room which dates to the Georgian era in England. This is most of the 18th century when we had four Kings in England all named George.

    A beautiful example of gratitude

    Yesterday I read the text something very beautiful. The text talked about the gratitude expressed by of an orphan girl by for Suzsan, a person someone who had supported the girl in several moments of many times in her life, although the existing large distance despite living far away. Liliet Today Lillet is a woman but she speaks that she still remembers of the first time that she heard about Suzan, her sponsor, in a letter. At on this time she was only had 7 years old. The most important thing that is was said in this letter is about the book that Suzan sendt for to Liliet, with a note written saying " you are special". This little frase phrase changed the life of that child. Suzan can give for gave this girl much more than money and opportunities, she gave hope for to this orphan when she made she her feels special. In this way, the attitude of Suzan can changed the perspective and the life of Liliet forever.

    Hyi Simon FCE (I don't know what this means) 

    Glad to read that you are keen on improving your Italian. I need to make progress in English too so I agree that a language exchange could be useful. It's time for presentations introductions now, I'm Penelope a 17 year old student from Rome. I have a sister and two fantastic parents to be grateful for. My hobbies (if I have free time, because lately I'mve been very busy because of at school) are playing the piano, reading and going running. In fact I'm a very sporty person. Actually, I've been studying English for 10 years now so my level is pretty advanced; since you asked me if we could get to know each other personally in the future I guess we won't find difficulty speaking in conversing. In topic of planning an appointment Regarding meeting up, my plans for the next summer are to working in Ireland for 4 months, and perhaps we could meet there? If you want you can suggest me a city for me to stay in. I can't wait to receive your letter!

     

    Have a nice week

    Penelope

    Describe the places

    •Storage
    Placement
    There is a big storage room that has a door with the a lock near a concrete area. It’s made of pretty sturdy material such as iron. Inside, there are boxes that each contain toys or materials organized for indoor or outdoor use. Also, we can store the decorations in it. In addition, we have two lower shelfves in the farm area and sandbox area which are for storageing toys and materials.
    •Access Gate and Exit
    There is a gate at the entrance for to the backyard. The gate is small and wooden and small. It’s not high enough to block the view, so people from the pathway or inside the building can see through beyond the back yard. Can It has a simple lock which locks from the inside.
