    My 8th note on Italki

    There is a long periods of time that I don't spend time on visit Italki. I almost forget the existence of this website. A lot of stuff happened in my life since I was last here. I wrote a fantastic novel now and I was recently contacted by a publishing house. I hesitate to sign the contract because there are almost it's only been two months since I started to write this novel. Maybe things are going too fast? I am almost have 19. I'm scared maybe... or should I wait ? Maybe I'll find a better proposition elsewhere.

    I'll pass a casting audition for a TV show in a few weeks. It's a big TV show in France, One similar show of it is to X factor. But I don't know... I'm not stressed. I think that I'm disinterested. I already auditioned once and I know what is about the world of TV.

    So... I'm waiting what the future holds for me.

    Hi Emily, a good way to say this would be either: "It offers a chance to quote the respondent's views." or "It offers a chance to quote to views of the respondent."

    My boring life =)

    Today I'm gonna tell you about small town life.
    I live in a small town one hundred km from Moscow. From October to April life here is calm and quiet. Well, if I don't mention crying mothers and school students who don't like to do homework. Ha. I'm kidding. Back to seasons, from during April the population of the town grown grows at least twice as big because a lots of Moscow citizens arrived at for the holidays and some of them moved to the countryside for summer. In fact, it is normal to send children to the countryside for long summer holidays. This These holidays last three months from June to August.
    All this these people like to have fun in their own way as they imagine to themself. Some of them getting drunk, some makes a shashlik. I don't know if there is an English world for this. This meal is a pieces of meat prepared in special sauce and sticked added together, put on a metal stick, and then grilled above charcoal. Meanwhile children like to group a small company form small groups and play some rangers or something like that or just go to the neighbor's garden and steal some berries or vegetables even if they are rape aren't ripe. And of course the main part of the most people here are gardening! They plant some vegetables, spices, flowers or bushes, pick out weeds and water them if there is no rain.
    I have a flat on the first floor, so I can walk to my small garden through the window! Ha! That's right, I walk through my window. That makes my neighbors smile all the time! I am lucky enough to have a good view to the south. There is a small field with young birch trees in it. Behind the field is a strip of forest, so I always can see the sky and rain a few km far from my house, and a nice rainbow after the rain. It always appears at the same place. And as of two years ago there is also a big GSM tower with red light XD.
    Last year I planted a small oak seed and small maple, I hope they will survive.
    Enjoy a nature and fresh air with me.
    See you again.

    Nice job :)

    It's not formal English, but it's a kind of slang that would be understood by anyone in the US/UK.

    to "indulge a fantasy" means to believe in something that is not realistic. you are 'indulging' yourself because it is not likely to be merited.

    Hi Maggie, looks like you figured it out by yourself. 'Up' is simply adding extra detail to which direction the author means when he says 'carried towards', it is not necessary, it just makes a clearer picture, as we imagine him probably going up the bleachers towards the 'roaring fans'.

    This is a form of an English expression, "to put on airs," which means to act like you are more important or qualified than you really are.

    It seems like 'J Zero' is not a proper English term but rather a codename for a certain step in this company's building process. Likewise, 'pour a raft' seems to refer to building a layer of concrete, as best as I can tell.

    Italki is a good place to find language partners. Also feel free to try out simple phrases with English speakers you encounter at work, at a shop or restaurant, tourist location, etc.

    You would say "hell has frozen over" when something extremely unlikely or uncommon has happened.
