Russian Christmas
Everybody knows that Russians celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January, whereas the whole rest of the world have has Christmas earlier. Yet the truth is that Russian Christmas is on the 25 of December! It is strange enough, but we have two different calendars! One is regular, and the other is a special church calendar. We call it "the old style". All cerch church feasts are celebrated according to the old church calendar. And the date of Christmas is the 25th of December by the old style and the 7th of January by the regular calendar. We also have "the Old New Year" on the 14th of January. It's fun!Note: I made a guess that cerch was supposed to be church.

I'm on vacation and I'm traveling with part of my family.
We're at a hotel on the beach, enjoying holidays.
Today I met an Australian man which who is on vacation here in Brazil at the same hotel as me.
I tried to talk to him but it was a kind of a disaster. I mean, we could understand each other and he speaks a bit of Portuguese, which turn the thing made it easier.
I know that I could speak better though. I've been studying a lot, you know.
But it's all ok.
Every time I had got go through embarassing embarrassing situations with English I became become more motivated about learning.
I'm sure that I'll make do better next time.0 votedFebruary 13, 20181Week 3
One of the videos we watched this week was about some experiments with bonobos and rats that tried to prove that animals can share and feel empathy. One of the experiments consisted in of one bonobo being inside of a cage with food and another outside with no food. The cage could be only open only be opened from inside,. and both The bonobos had not met before the experiment. The point of the experiment is was to observe whether the bonobo inside of the cage would open the door for the strange bonobo outside, and share its food. The result was unbelievable: the bonobo inside did open the door and share its food with the other one. This experiment makes us think about whether humans would share their food with a completely estrange stranger. I think the answer is “no”, which proves that animals are sometimes better than humans.0 votedFebruary 13, 20180Diary in English ♡ On the 30th of January
Time flies. I've been working at a Japanese restaurant near here since the end of December and I really came to like the job. The staff are kind and helpful. I learnt a lot of things: how to cook various Japanese foods, order meats and vegetables in English and more. The people who work there are good at speaking English because almost of them are English and university students. Actually I don't understand their English because they are speak too quickly for me, but it is good experience for me. After I started working there, I came to feel it became easier to talk with friends from language school.
I am getting used to work there, but I will quit the restaurant in few weeks because I was offered a full time position by an English company in London! Finally, I got an offer!
I'll make hotel, restaurant and flight reservations reservations of hotels, restaurants, flights … for customers on by phone. There're are a lot of colleagues who have different nationalities and speak different languages, and I'll be in the Japan team.
I'll use Japanese in the at work and I'm worried about the environment. I can't speak English a lot, but I found a lovely room and the owner speaks English. I think I can continue practicing and studying English even though I don't won't use English in the at work.
I'm very excited to move to London and start my new job and life!0 votedJanuary 30, 20181The Environment and its future.
As all we know, climate change is one of the most worrying matters that surrounds ourselves us so it's very important take care of it everyday with our daily activities. Then I'm going to tell you some examples ways to be a green person and be able to respect the nature.
The first and easy easiest step would be your means of transport. this is, To go to the work or to the university you should move with ride a bike, skate or use public transport. It's true that moving with driving your car or motorbike is faster than other ways, but with this we will able to reduce the boring traffic jams and polluting gases.
The second and more important step is making use of the rule of the three Rs: reduce, recycle and reuse. Although it seems difficult at the beginning, little by little you will able to reducing reduce your wastes, waste by recycling the rubbish and reusing your objects.
