Немного о себе..... Мне 59 лет, женат (второй раз) 17 лет. Мы с женой живём в маленком городке, называется Сторновай (около 7500 человек) на острове в 70 киллометрах на запад от Шотландии. Я родился в Англии, а жил в Австралии, Южной Африке и Зимбабве. 27 лет назад я начал работать в качестве психиатрического медбрата и психотерапевта. Недавно я работал в маленькой государственной больнице рядом с домом. Иногда мне нравилась моя работа ....и иногда нет..... Я вышел в отставку год назад, и теперь я наслаждаюсь хобби. Я люблю читать, играю на гитаре. В хорошую погоду (здесь идёт дождь почти каждый день) мы с женой любим гулять вдоль морского берега - вода в море всегда холодная, даже летом...... Я люблю готовить, особенно итальянской и индийской кухни. Я посетил Москву в августе 2007 года - было очень жарко, осебенно в метро, и слишком большой :-( Мы с женой наслаждались неделю в Риге 7 лет назад - было приятно (туристические районы...) И Будапеште в октябре 2014 - мы были очень впечатлены архитектурой, дружелюбные люди, к истории. (Но венгерский язык является невероятно трудным меня. Мне нужна мотивация для изучения русского языка: Мне не нужно говорить на русском для карьеры, и я не ищу русскую жену ....... русский язык - это хобби. Я пишу очень медленно, с помощью словаря и книги по грамматике. Разговор еще сложнее .....Мне трудно говорить и слушать русский язык. Произношение смущает мне - где акцент слово или предложение????? Мне нужна практика.... Я исчерпал сейчас .... слишком много русского языка, и мой мозг болит :-)

    We need a new projector at office!

    Your valuable feedback as always would be highly appreciated.

    ****
    You work in an office. You need new equipment to do your job well. Write a letter to your manager explaining
    The equipment you need
    Why you need it?
    What do you want the manager to do?
    ****

    Dear Mr. Smith

    I am writing for your approval to purchase two new portable projectors for the sales and marketing department. The reason for this request is that the projectors which we currently have are quite outdated, and therefore incompatible with the new laptops and tablets that are currently in used in the company.

    As you are aware, when prospective clients visit our company the sales and marketing department is where they expect to be presented with our latest products and services. Not having a usable projector has meant that we have been unable to use PowerPoint slides in our presentations, and I believe this has negatively affected not only our efficiency but also our brand image.

    Therefore, I believe purchasing at least two new wireless projectors will assist my colleagues and me (Or I?) to better fulfill our duties.

    I hope that my request will be taken into consideration.

    Yours sincerely,
    Adib Yz

    Nothing wrong with what you wrote, Adib.  Most of my corrections are just stylistic.

    My graduation

    I had studyed in a Colombian education institute , it's name is SENA and it is good.   First it's free, and secondly, it has agreements with companies, so you have the possibility of work experience.
    Anyway, I studied Multimedia Production, it is about three parts.  The first one is Design, the second one is web programming and the third is Media  I really like them, although I prefer the Design part.
    My graduation was the last Wednesday, although I wasn't so happy.  My family was really happy that day, and when the graduation finished I felt better.

    Silly things

    Do you do silly things? I do silly things all the time. Sometimes, I look like a kid.

    It starts with my style: I'm a fan of vintage style (the 50's, to be exact) and sometimes I wear hair clips that makes me look childish. I try my best to do my hair, nails and makeup right (I am inspired mainly by Dita Von Teese, the best reference for a vintage style). When I talk about it, it sounds a little bit silly, doesn't it? A girl who's stuck in the 50's and is stubborn about the today's fashion.

    Also, when I'm bored, I keep watch cookery videos and reading recipes (even if I will never make any of these foods, because I'm a disaster in the kitchen); sometimes I lose myself (or...."I waste my time") watching makeup tutorials (which I won't do, since I'm interested only in vintage makeup).

    I like playing The Great Language Game, which is a game where you hear 20 seconds of someone speaking in a language and you have to guess what language it is. Geoguessr is other game that I like playing, because when I was younger I used to open Google Maps to walk in the streets of some city abroad, pretending to know the place.

    And you? Do you do something silly that you know it's silly but keeps doing it?

    According to my wife, I do many silly things.  But they seem normal to me.

    Cats and Dogs

    I like them both. But whether having a dog or a cat means that you need to shoulder a big responsibility. Once you get one of them home, their whole life relies (or..."depends") on you.
    Compared with dogs, cats are much more independent, but there are also cats who like to stick to their owners.
    Dogs need more attention, at the least you need to walk them every day. I have a colleague who gets nervous when she needs to do overtime, because there are two little dogs waiting at home.
    When I was about 9 years old, my dad brought me a special little furry friend one day after work- a little cat. I was thrilled, but my mom wasn’t. It turned out she had a good reason that she wasn’t so content about it, because she had to take care of the cat, while my dad and I just played a lot with it. But my mom started to like our little family member later on.

    Dogs have owners.  Cats have servants  :-)

    TV shows

    I always watch TV shows with subtitles to learn English with subtitles. I think it is an easy way to pratice listening.
    My favorites TV shows are "The Walking Dead", " Grey´s Anatomy" and "The Black List".
    "The Walking Dead" is a drama and horror TV show that takes place during a zombie apocalypse. The story is about the group of survivors.
    "Grey´s Anatomy" is a medical drama tv show that takes place in a hospital. It shows the day to day lives of the hospital employees and their patients.
    "The Black List" is a police drama tv show that involves FBI officials and a criminals. The FBI's most wanted criminal delive himself and delivers multiple criminals. (Sorry, but I don't understand this sentence.)

    My cat

    Rudy is my adopted tom cat and now he is 4 years old. You can see him in my icon: yellow fur, bright eyes, big body. Rudy doesn't like fish or meat. His daily food is Hill's cat food, an American brand which was recommended by vets,: so it was said, but who knows. But Rudy does like grass, especially which is green and fresh. Every time when fresh grass is taken to him, whatever he is doing, he will jump over quickly without hesitation and try to touch it with his paw. How funny that a cat loves grass instead of fish! Is Rudy a true cat?
