Profile
To fit the stereotype, I definitely like tea ^^ I also like cooking, rock music, playing guitar, world history and culture.
I grew up in Middle England, I studied in the North of England and now I live in southern England. So if you would like to talk about English and British topics, we can talk about a lot! I think it's great to hear individual opinions from people about the places they come from.
I can help you with grammar, word use and language style.

- Using the verb нажраться Hi! OK, so I will visit Russia soon with my dad for the World Cup. I have some Russian friends there already and I want to ask if they would like to party or something while I'm there. I heard that a way to ask this using slang is to say something like "Если хочешь нажраться, дай мне знать." But I heard that the word нажраться is kind of offensive, is that right? Would it be something used among friends? Thanks!June 28, 201860
- There are many times of irony (e.g. dramatic irony, Socratic irony) but most often irony means a circumstance which is expected to happen a certain way, but instead happens in a contrary way, usually with a comic effect. For example, something happened recently when I wanted to see if a website was working, but the other website that I would use to check if websites were working was itself not working. That was pretty ironic, I would say. Sarcasm is often a expression towards a person or thing when the opposite meaning of the expression is conveyed in a taunting or mocking way. It is not necessarily ironic, but it can be. It's most noticeable through speech with a lower pitch and slower speaking. For example, if something happens that you and maybe other people expected to happen, but perhaps different people didn't expect, you might say "What a surprise!" in a flat tone.0 votedApril 15, 20180
- I assume this is in the context of a discussion or conversation. The sentence "Each point was reached." means that everything that was planned to be talked about in the whole conversation was talked about. The fragment "each reached point" is like a descriptive phrase which needs more information to be a full sentence (e.g. "Each reached point was important." = everything that was talked about was important). The sentence "Each (person) reached their point." would mean that every person in the conversation said the thing that they wanted to say.0 votedApril 15, 20180
My Country
Peru is located in South America.* 30 million people live here. Lima is the capital city; it was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535. In Lima District there are many boutique shops where they sell handicrafts. This neighborhood is known for its old and beautiful streets.
Spanish is spoken in Peru, but in some** cities Quechua is spoken by native people, for example in Cusco, Huanuco, Ayacucho, etc.
If you want to visit my country, you should know Machu Picchu, it one of the new seven wonders of the world. Machu Picchu was discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. It is located in Cusco, where there are beautiful places to meet people.* In English we wouldn't write the accents on the letters like in Spanish
** Some cities in Peru - if you say "Spanish is spoken in Lima", then you can say "other cities" because Lima is also a city

Maybe not for you, Theresa (theguardian.com, 29/03/18) EN/RU/DE English: There are few things more guaranteed to induce a sense of national panic than the prime minister announcing she is doing a whistle-stop tour of the country to reassure everyone that leaving the EU wasn’t going to be quite as bad as they feared. To mark the year to go till Brexit day, Theresa May started out by spending a few minutes at a textile factory in Ayr. Shortly after she left, most of the workers were checking to see if the factory was about to close. Russian: Немногие вещи более гарантированно вызывать чувство национальной паники, чем объявление премьер-министра о быстром тур по стране, чтобы заверить всех, что уход из ЕС будет не так плохо, как они боялись. Чтобы отметить год до Брексита, Тереза Май сначала провела несколько минут на текстильной фабрике в Эр. Вскоре после ее ухода, большинство рабочих проверяли, будет ли завод скоро закрыться. German: Nur weniger Dinge lösen ein Gefühl der nationalen Panik garantiert aus, als die Ankündigung eines Kurztrips der Premierministerin im ganzen Land, um allen zu versichern, dass der Austritt aus der EU nicht so schlimm sein wird, wie alle befürchteten. Um das Jahr bis zum Brexit zu begehen, begann Theresa May mit ein paar Minuten in einer Textilfabrik in Ayr. Kurz nachdem sie gegangen war, wollten die meisten Arbeiter überprüfen, ob die Fabrik bald stilllegt.

The parable
One of these days I have read this parable. It moved me and I've* decided to share the story.* you decided in the past but it has an effect now because you're telling it
Once upon a time a rich man took his son along on a trip to the far corners of the country. The main goal of this journey was to show the boy what it is like to live without money.
They have spent a few days in an extremely poor family's farm. Upon their return home, the father asked his son if he liked this trip. "I liked it," the boy said. "Did you see how poor people can be?" the man asked. "Yes!" the answer has followed. "And have you learned something from this?" the father again asked. And the boy said, "I've seen that we have one dog and they have four. Our swimming pool is just to the middle of the garden and their river has no end. There are luxurious lanterns around our house and stars light to them at night. Our terrace is up to the forecourt and they can walk as far as the eye can see. We have just a little piece of ground where we live and they have boundless fields. We buy food, they grows a lot of their own. Around us there are hypocrites and bootlickers, around them there are friends." The father of the son stood aghast at the such news. And the boy added, "I understood how we are actually poor."
I hope you like this story =))Great!

(wolfstreet.com, 20/03/2018) EN/RU/DE English: So now there’s a hue and cry in the media about Facebook, put together by reporters who are still active on Facebook and who have no intention of quitting Facebook. There has been no panicked rush to “delete” accounts. There has been no massive movement to quit Facebook forever. Facebook does what it does because it does it, and because it’s so powerful that it can do it. A whole ecosystem around it depends on the consumer data it collects. Russian: Итак, теперь в СМИ шумиха о Facebook, создана репортерами, которые все еще активны на Facebook и не намереваются бросить Facebook. Запаникованной спешки «удалить» профили не была. Не было массового движения, чтобы бросить Facebook навсегда. Facebook делает то, что он делает, потому что он это делает, и потому что он настолько мощен, что может это сделать. Целая экосистема вокруг него зависит от потребительских данных, которые он собирает. German: Nun gibt es in den Medien ein Geschrei über Facebook, erhoben von Journalisten, die immer noch auf Facebook aktiv sind und keine Absicht haben, Facebook aufzugeben. Es gab keine panische Eile, Profile zu "löschen". Es gab keine Massenbewegung, Facebook für immer aufzugeben. Facebook tut was es tut, weil es so tut, und weil es so mächtig ist, dass es sowas kann. Ein ganzes Ökosystem hängt von den gesammelten Verbraucherdaten ab. (from https://wolfstreet.com/2018/03/20/then-why-is-anyone-still-on-facebook/)March 21, 201820
