- Christmas traditions all over the world.
Hey everyone,
I love this time of the year. The candles, the tea's, Christmas decorations, everything about it!! Am I the only one?
Let's talk about our traditions, do you all celebrate Christmas on 25th December? I'm sure the answer is no. My parents are from Moldova so we also celebrate their Christmas which is on 7th January. Comment down bellow when do you celebrate it, with whom you celebrate this time of the year, what are your typical dishes, etc.
I am from Portugal so for me Christmas is on 25th December, but how I said I also celebrate with my parents on 7th January.
The traditional Christmas meal in Portugal, called "Consoada" is eaten during the evening of Christmas Eve and consists of codfish with vegetables and boiled potatoes. This is normally followed by sellfish, wild meats and other typical foods. After the meal, people eat tradicional fried desserts: "filhoses or filhos" which are made of fried pumpkin dough, "rabanadas" which are similiar to french toast, etc. Another traditional dessert is "Bolo do Rei"which is a dry fruitcake.
What about you? Merry Christmas!
December 8, 201620 I am from Portugal from the south which is called ALGARVE (region). If you are a beach lover I 100% advice you to visit Albufeira or Vilamoura!
If you are searching for something that includes everything (shopping, good restaurants, monuments, museams, etc.) I advice you to visit Lisbon(capital) or Porto(considered the second capital, eheh), they are absolutely gorgeous.
Also you have more interesting places like Coimbra(the university city) or Aveiro which is considered the Portuguese Venice.
I could write so much more places, it would be a huge comment ahah but I am going to stop. Google the cities that I mentioned and give me a feedback either you liked them or not.
I hope it was usefull.

Saturday I am going to take the TOEFL, everything is doing good, unless the speaking part. When I find a topic I can discuss him easily without time. Though when they start to count the second left my stress takes all my memory away.
Anyone has some advice to control my stress in this tasks? :(
November 28, 2016202 - For people who want to take the TOEFL test.
I found this site http://magoosh.com/toefl/2013/one-month-toefl-study-schedule/ which has a 30 days schedule to prepare yourself to the exam. If you already have a book or something else to study I definitly advice you to include this schedule on your studies. This way you can be more organized and less lazy.
I hope it will be usefull for you.
November 26, 201603 Hey guys! This is my first post on this site.
The reason I started this blog is to practice my English speaking skills.
My English is poor. Though, I have to get high score in TOEFL in order to apply to a foreign university.
I also want to be able to read English books easily because that way I can get more information. This will also help me search things on the internet in English.
So, I will write posts in English about my favorite things.
See you!
In my opinion it sounds better the way I wrote above. Though, it's just my opinion.
I hope I helped you.

WhenI think about this statements I feel like I am repeating myself. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is more important for students to understand ideas and concepts than it is for them to learn facts. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Think about this and comment your ideas.
