    My first day on italki

    Hi guys! I´m Patricia and this is my first day on this website.
    My sister showed me italki because she is learning English, and I think that it is a good way to improve my English level. I would like to improve this language because it´s important to find a job. I started studying English when I was 6 years old, but in the last 4 years I haven't studied so I've forgotten a lot of the language.
    I´m trying to watch TV series and films in V.O. but it´s difficult understand completely. I also listen to English music because my favourite groups sing in English.
    I hope that italki is a new way to learn more!

    How I started here

    Last Monday before my English class, I told my teacher about an idea which I'd had in my had been around my head all weekend: to pass my exam next June I was absolutely convinced that I needed to practice my conversation skills. Then I asked her to give me weekly conversation classes, or maybe if she she would knew any other teacher interested in it. She told me that her schedule was near complete, but she would ask to the other teachers at the academy.

    Then, she also suggested that I me to use some apps (such as "duolinguo" or "meet up") and to look for some useful resources on the internet. "There are some interesting websites where you can practice your English with many other people all around the world who are interested in learning Spanish as well, so you can make new friends and do language exchanges at the same time", she said.

    Yesterday was a very busy day for me, searching on the internet until finding getting this website, and for now I have discovered a new way of practising my English as well as I have meeting some interesting people. And this is only the beginning. Maybe I won't I´ll don´t pass my exam, but I´m sure I´ll improve a lot.

    Nyepi Day (Day's of Silence)

    Every religions has their own ways to celebrate their New Year. The same thing also occurs in Bali. Today was Nyepi Day. Nyepi means silent, quiet, and no activities. So Nyepi is a "day of silence" or "Bali's Day of Silence" for Balinese Hindus in Bali. On Nyepi Day, people usually don't participate in any public activities.do any activities except in their homes. The road is silent was really silence without any vehicles or people. This year, Hindus were grateful because Nyepi's Day coincided with a solar eclipse. This phenomenon is rare. Well, I don't know much about these traditions, but as far as I know, the Balinese Hindus follow a ritual called "The Catur Brata Penyepian", for instance :

    1. Hindus do "Amati Geni" which means you can't light a fire or make up a fire.
    2. "Amati Karya" which means you are not allowed to doing activities as usual.
    3. "Amati Lelungan" which means you must stay at home, can't go anywhere, and not travel.
    4. "Amati Lelangunan" which means is not celebrating anything, avoiding parties and entertainment. such as party or entertainment things.

    Despite these restrictions however, I think these traditions are good to maintain the balance with nature, reduce pollutions, and save electricity. The most interesting thing is that before Nyepi Day, the residents who are (predominantly young people) parade will be parading ogoh-ogoh (giant puppets) as a symbol of Bhuta Kala, which take many with different shapes. The puppets are usually There are a form looks hideous, ridiculous and uniquely shaped, or an allusion to current issues the circumstances that are happening, such as : the corruption and many others.
