Visiting the Countryside
Today, I went to the countryside with my cousins. We met a lot relatives there. After lunch, we played fireworks by the side of a river (on the shore). It was <strike>a </strike>nice weather today, I even felt a little hot there. Probably because I didn't sleep well last night, I felt very tired today. So, I just sat aside beside (less formal, more common) on the grass<strike>plot</strike>, watching my cousins playing fireworks. In addition, there were fewer relatives to go to the countryside with us, I didn't feel any bustling there. we might use the word "bustling" when describing a city, but not the countryside. Maybe you could say "it was a very quiet day."
After I went back to my home, I couldn't find my camera and I was in a sweat<strike>,</strike> . It was terrible. Fortunately I found it <strike>at</strike> in my father's car, <strike>unless</strike> otherwise I would <strike>freak</strike> have feaked out because of it. All in all, I felt happy today because I could finally go to the countryside again.0 votedFebruary 7, 20111About Friend
In my OWN opinion, I think that the older <strike>as</strike> people grow<strike>ing</strike>, the harder <strike>can they </strike> it is to make <strike>a</strike> close friends. Fortunately, they still can easily find someone to talk to/ with, but maybe they just can maintain a normal friendship with their friends. Even worse, some of those "friends" just are nodding acquaintance, they might say hi to you when you meet each other, but they would hardly ask you out, never so much as call you once.
Maybe it reflects part of the socielty, and maybe the earlier we make a close friend, the longer can we maintain our friendship, I'm not sure, and I just haven't adapted (?) it yet. It's just my personal idea, and I just wonder about it.
I think my friends from university will always be some of my best friends!0 votedJanuary 4, 20110Paul & Katie – more than just a friendship
When they met for the first time, Paul knew immediately that they would be good friends.
Her name was Katie and she was really beautiful. Paul met her at a party where Katie was sitting alone at the bar. He started speaking to her and then they talked together for the whole evening.
They became very good friends. But there came a day when Katie went crying to Paul. She told him<strike>, </strike>that her boyfriend finished their relationship (or - broke up with her). He tried to comfort her and then they kissed<strike> themselves </strike>each other. Paul was suddenly overcome by the realization that he <strike>was always fallen </strike><strike> </strike>had always been in love with Katie. But Katie was confused and ran away.
During the next days, Paul never got a message from Katie. It was unbearable for Paul, because his love to Katie was very strong and he missed her as a friend. Therefore he decided to talk to her about his feelings. He told her everything, but she started crying and said that she was reunited with her boyfriend.
Now they have no more contact with each other. But <strike>until today, doesn't get </strike>she still can't get rid of the feeling that she <strike>had done</strike> made an enormous mistake.0 votedDecember 5, 20100My Best friend
I have a t<strike>he</strike> best friend. His name is Mike. We <strike>are know </strike>have known each other<strike> from</strike> since we were 7 years old. Mike was my neighbor when I lived in my parent's home (with my parents). We are grow grew up together. Mike is a very positive man. He likes <strike>a </strike>bicycle riding and <strike>has two big travel</strike> has taken two big trips on his bicycle. <strike>First travel</strike> His first trip was from St.Petersburg to Samara. I think it is a long distance. He rode 7 or 8 days.
That sounds like a cool trip!0 votedNovember 30, 20100please correct this entry ---- Dear Judy and Kay
