I will soon need a teacher to learn English. I don’t know, should I choose a native speaker or a Russian teacher who <s>teaches</s> is teaching English for the first time... My English not very good. <s>well,</s> I speak English so slowly and sometimes I forget the right words. I don't know how patient a teacher <s>can</s> will be when listening to my speech :)

I think you will do very well! Should you choose a native speaker? When I chose a Japanese language teacher, I chose a native speaker. Good Luck!

My birthday

My anniversary is on September 21th.

It is my birthday.

Last year, I went out for dinner and had a celebration with my family.

<s>Someone </s>Most people usually eat cake on <s>own</s> their birthday, but I didn't because I don't like sweet food very much.

Instead, I drank a lot of alcohol.

I think a birthday is a very important anniversary because it is a day to thank my parents for giving birth.

It's also the day when we get older, <s>and</s> feel new, and want to do our best this year.

In America, the word anniversary refers to the day people got married. A person also has a work anniversary on the day they started at a job. It would be unusual to call a birthday and anniversary. I hope that helps.

Our camping (I hope anybody will read this and correct 🙏)

I've thought a long time about what to write about. And finally I decided to tell you about our camping trip(or <s>hiking</s>, hike. I don't know what is right) in the Carpathian mountains <s>which is called as Ukrainian Carpathians</s>. It was last summer. There were six of us. <s>At first </s>First, we bought <s>the</s> tickets <s>on</s> for the train. It took us twelve hours to get there from Kyiv (we live in the capital of Ukraine 🇺🇦). When we <s>had</s> arrived <s>to</s> at the train station, we <s>at once</s> immediately went to <s>the</s> a cafe and then to <s>the</s> a shop in order to buy some wine.

All of us had <s>the</s> big backpacks <s>it</s> full of warm clothes, food, extra shoes (when one pair would get wet from the rain), toothbrush, <s>and </s>all <s>the</s> our toiletries, a steel cup, personal cutlery, and other<s>s </s>necessary little things.

We found a "taxi" that took us to the starting point of our trip. And we began our route.

<s>At</s> On the first day, <s>we</s> i felt well, I had so much power. Towards <s>the</s> evening, we <s>riched</s> reached the place to sleep. The<s>re</s> boys set up the tents, made a fire and then my friend and I started to cook supper (during the day we had some snacks such as bananas, nuts, dried fruit and sandwiches 🥪).

For supper, we had buckwheat groats with canned meat which <s>were</s> had been cooked on the fire. At 12 p.m. a <s>began</s> heavy rain began, it got cold. We <s>had </s>moved to the tent and continued to drink wine and <s>having</s> have fun.

When we woke up, our wet clothes and shoes were already <s>were</s> <s>being dried</s> drying on the grass in the sun (one of our friends had got up earlier and did that). And near them, <s>already</s> cows 🐮were walking. In the morning we had <s>for breakfast</s> muesli with banana and a lot of condensed milk for breakfast. This was so tasty that I have remembered that breakfast for a long time. After breakfast we <s>put</s> took down the tents and continued our route.

That was the second day. It was a little harder than<s> past one </s> the day before. But, we saw better views as we climbed higher. The starry sky on that <s>day</s> night was unforgettable, because there were <s>not </s> no clouds <s>on</s> in the sky. Everything was wonderful, but <s>in</s> the next morning, it was raining again. <s>And we</s> We went all the way to the train station in the heavy rain.

It was very slippery and messy to <s>went dow,n </s> hike down.

<s>Only</s> Once we were on the train, we changed our clothes.

I hope <s>anybody</s> somebody has read this. And finally I want to say that this wasn't my first camping trip 🏕, but, it <s>that</s> was the most interesting and memorable because one of the most important parts of a trip is friends. Camping is an easy way to see if your friends are true.

Great story! You asked about camping or hiking. When you stay overnight, you are camping. If you are walking in the forest, you are hiking. On your trip, you went hiking and camping! I hope this helps!

American Brands

Calvin Klein, Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Levi’s, Michael Kors are well-known American brands in Russia and things from them are expensive in my country. The prices for these things are always high. For example, a Calvin Klein jacket costs about $200-$270<s>$</s>, that price matches <s>a</s> the average salary in Russia (except Moscow). When Russians move to America, they often start buying a lot of things from the brands I mentioned. Because it’s much cheaper than in Russia. I wasn’t an exception to the rule. I once bought <s>on sale </s>a Hilfiger windbreaker on sale ($16) because such a price is impossible in Russia for this brand. Later, I saw how many great brands there are in America that I didn’t know before. Their quality and design is just as good and even better. Now, my favorite brands are Lilly Pulitzer, Lands’ End, L.L.Bean and Vera Bradley. And I also like the brand Magnolia Pearl which makes unusual clothes but I don’t dare buy them yet.
