Land Diving

Since bungee jumping has become so well known and it has been practiced by many people, many do not know its origin.
Bungee jumping originated from an island called The Republic of Vanuatu, that is located in Oceania, very close to Australia.

Vanuatu was a French Colony until the 1980s. The elders say the one who had executed the first jump was a woman, who was very upset with her husband so that she managed her escape, and she ran away into the jungle wishing never see him again. When the husband found out that his wife had left, he followed her. So, while trying to run off she climbed a big tree and so did he. When he was almost there, she tied lianas to her ankles and jumped. She thought that she could survive,  she did survive, and then he jumped, but he did not tie lianas to his ankles, of course, he died. So he was tricked by his wife.

After that, all men have been jumping to never be tricked again. In Vanuatu Island, all men including children need to execute that custom to be considered a man.

Even though they started it in a tree, nowadays they have constructed a kind of town with several levels. In all over these years they only had a few deaths related to that procedure.

Please check my description of birthday party:)

Every year, July 20th, my friend Karolina throws the most spectacular and thrilling birthday party which I have ever been to. This year she rented the amazing, huge house by the sea shore with beautiful view from the house.
My friends and I got together in order to help Karolina prepare for it. We hung numerous sparkling garlands and balloons, we prepared tasty food and drinks, and we also made a lot of competitions and games.
Consequently, when all preparations had been finished, Karolina's friends began to arrive. It was a real pleasure to see those people because all of them had an amazing brightly coloured costumes with numerous shiny accessories which were beautifully glittering in the moonlight. All the night people were dancing, eating, chatting and had a lot of fun together, so Karolina was really happy.
I wish I could have had such a wonderful birthday party. I had a great time there which I would never forget. I'm looking forward to next year so that I can take part in Karolina's party again.

The first Time I spoke English

The first Time I spoke English
I’ll share with you the first time that I spoke to a foreign person in English. I have studied The English language from Middle School to College, but I never spoke it because there weren’t any people who spoke it where I live.
To the best of my recollection the first time that I spoke it was when I was hanging out with my friend. Suddenly a foreigner came up to me and asked for directions to the supermarket, and because he spoke so quickly I didn’t catch everything he said. I asked him to repeat it slowly after he repeated it slowly I understood. Then I answered him and I used a lot of body language to explain the directions to him and showed him the nearest way to the supermarket. After that he said “thanks” to me and headed for the supermarket.
I realize the English language plays an important role in our lives, even though we didn’t live in English speaking countries but English became the dominant language in the word.
Therefore I try to speak English daily so I can communicate with people who speak English around the world.

My second record

I continue✨
My examination was very easy. I thought it would be more difficult. I can take it again.
And I don't know what to write in this notebook. Аny ideas?
Perhaps, I should tell something about my life? But in my life there is nothing interesting. I am an ordinary teenager. I am in the 10th grade at school. I play  piano and guitar. I like to read books and to listen to music, but who doesn't love it in our time?
Next year I will have examinations. But I still didn't decide where I am going after (I finish?) school.
Well, tomorrow we go to the institute on the Open Day. I hope, it will help me with the choice a little.

Traffic - short essay

Nowadays, traffic congestion is common. Because of slowing traffic, people’s moods deteriorate and their workplace performance also considerably diminish.
Through the reduction of car traffic, the rationalization of freight transport, the development of public transport and the improvement of conditions for cycling this situation can be radically changed. (When you connect words with "and" they must be the same type of word: Noun, verb, adjective etc.   "Improving" is a verb so I changed it to "improvement" which is a noun)
A number of international examples demonstrate that a wider range of participation of the railway can reduce the load on urban and suburban roads and the environmental damage is decreased; furthermore, the travel time is reduced.
There are more ways the large number of cars on the road could be reduced. The introduction of higher parking charges can contribute to the changing of traffic patterns.
The number of P + R car parks should be expanded. These car parks allow those people who come from outside districts to park their cars in public transport hubs and then they can take public transportation.

another language

My English is good and  I have been studying English for 10 years but never practice it .I want to learn different languages.  Do you think I should practice speaking English first then study another language or should I begin to study another language?  Another question is  what second language do you think I should study?

Thank you all
