    Actually I remember that on one of my previous jobs my boss's name was Steven, but in fact he used to be Xiahou Liu.

    He motivated his choice by 2 things

    - born Chinese he became an English citizen and so he had to change his name to naturalize

    - his original name cannot be pronounced properly by Europeans.

    My personal advice would be to pick a Greek or Roman name. They are the most spread and know across the world (i.e. Alexander The Great).

    The life in countryside [0]

    Last Monday I went to visit a client. He lives in a small town called "Carapungo de Amaguaña".
    Althought the town is near the city center, the atmosphere is completely different. If you see look around [1], there are only trees, animals and agricultural crops.
    Also, there were  was no cars noise [2], and it's possible to listen to the birds singing.
    The client said that in that place there are is no delinquency. If an unknown person arrives there, all the people are watching what he is doing, they ask him why he is there and if required, they ask to the unknown  (~unfamiliar may be better) [3] person leaves the town.
    I liked the tranquility in this town.
    I would like to live in the countryside someday.

    [0] The is usually omitted in titles 

    [1] Seeing is the result. looking is the process.

    [2] In English you can use nouns as adjectives. In this case does not require plural as noise is an abstract term.

    [3] Unfamiliar is a better fit.

    Studying for a test

    People often think that studying for a test is hard but is not like that. If you prepare well and study everyday, by reviewing all the information that you have, it shouldn't be that difficult to succeed in any way.

    The best advice is to read everything, then start to read one chapter, one day and another one the other day and so on. By breaking into pieces the job is much easier, little by little instead of having it all at once.

    When you finish to reading all the chapters, underline the main ideas or paragraphs that you think are the most important aspects or essentials of to the chapter (just correcting style). Once you are have done that, then the next thing is read it all. Go over the underlined ideas and try to remember as much as you can. If you study everyday and put in  (more common - make an effort) an effort, you are going to pass your test.

    1 To be nitpicking - when you ask questions you are supposed to invert word order. But in such a sentence it makes no difference. 2 I spent a day bending over - means that literally I was bending all day long. If you spend a day bent - then you had been bent at first, then you spent your day. Nitpicking once again.

    Technically - Moment is a given point on "time axis". Moment's length can be considered zero. - Time is a more broad term. It can refer to -- a moment -- a period of time -- an epoch in history or period in your life -- time literally measured by clocks
