    Un racconto

    Due anni fa ero in Kamchatka con il mio ragazzo che è (chi = who, che = that; e = and, è = is ) nato lì. Vorrei raccontare del un giorno in cui siamo saliti sul vulcano di nome (Literally it would be 'che si chiama = which is named', but in this way it's more fluent) Avachinski.
    Era una giornata bellissima, tipica dell'estate (classico in this context means typical, so 'tipica' it's the correct word) in Kamchatka - il sole splendeva, (pay attention to the comma before the 'ma') ma non era molto caldo: +15 gradi,una temperatura normale per quella regione in Agosto. Siamo usciti di casa alle 6 di mattina.Indossavamo tutto l'abbigliamento pesante che avevamo trovato a casa. Dopo due ore di viaggio in macchina arrivammo dove il nostro viaggio sarebbe cominciato. Mentre facevamo colazione abbiamo incontrato un coppia romana (your expression was correct, but 'romana = from Rome'  implies 'italiana = from Italy') che aveva (you're talking about the couple, which is a singular name) fatto un giro sulla Ferrovia transiberiana da Mosca a Vladivostok. Quell'incontro non era un caso perché dopo un mese sarei dovuta andare in Italia per un programma di scambio. Salimmo insieme e passammo insieme l'intera giornata facendo moltissime foto perché la natura ed i paesaggi erano stupendi. (Pay attention to 'perché', especially to the stress on the last letter, which is different from the stress of 'è = is') Mentre camminavamo parlavamo di tutto: la vita in Italia, i viaggi in Russia, la cucina russa e tante altre cose. Da allora siamo rimasti amici ed in Ottobre andremo in vacanza a Roma per passare del bel tempo insieme.


    Nice entry, thank you for sharing this experience with us! I hope my corrections will help you! :)

    Too many things to do Have you ever felt like you want to do more things than what you find time for? I have. It's stressful sometimes because one wants to fulfill all theirs will, but at the same time makes one asks themselves: what I want to do the most? I had been playing volleyball since I was eight, I stopped on January. During all those years I thought of trying other sports, but I always chose to continue playing volleyball because it was the thing I wanted the most. Planning my university career I had to choose which classes I wanted to attend. There were many classes I would have liked to select, but I hadn't enough time to attend them all. As I said it can be stressful because one has to make choices, but at the same time it helps one to build themselves.

    The joy of making a gift Every time I find myself thinking about a gift to do I discover again and again the joy of making a gift. It is not just a courtesy affair, it is something more. One has to choose the right present for the right person. The process of the choice is itself the gift. One must deeply understand the interests and the nature of the other person if they want the present to be perfect. I did many gifts, some of them were easier, some more difficult. I don't want to be repetitive nor predictable. I'd like my presents to be unexpected. I think the best gifts are the "unwanted" ones. When one receives something that has never desired the reaction is wonderful. For sure the present must be well chosen so as not to make unpleasant gift.

    An infinite trip Last year I did one of my longest trip by car. It is a 7-hour journey if you are lucky, 8-hour journey on average. I did it to go to holiday with my girlfriend so we were in the right mood to tackle such a thing. The real problem was the way back. After seven days of total relax the thought of driving for so long had already brought me down but the worst had yet to come. The first four hours went through quite easily but at 3 o'clock P.M. we got stuck. There was a very long queue right ahead. The sun was so hot you could have taken suntan on the road. It took us nearly one hour to pass it by and to discover it was due to works on the road. Fortunately from there we didn't have other problems. There was only another important event: we saw an incredibly big fire. It had never happened to me to see such a big blaze. It was summer so it was normal to meet little fire but I had never seen before something like that.
