Hi, I am HALF Hungarian! :-) My mother was born in Budapest and moved to Australia when she was 9. Hungary has been a big influence in my life from her and my (Nagy) "Mama" from the way we celebrate Christmas (along with Makos and Dios) to a sense of Hungarian Pride even though we are Australian through and through. Unfortunately they did not teach us the language but we have picked up a few words. I am feeling nostalgic after a trip to Budapest in 2019 and would like to learn the language a little more. We wished we could speak to people other than in English.

    Hello, could you check my review, please)

    A winning combination of enigmatic atmosphere and breathtaking scenery makes the movie "Melancholia" an exquisite masterpiece. The film portrays the life of two sisters and the imminent approach of the mysterious planet Melancholy. As is comes closer to the Earth, it affects the sisters in completely different ways. Justin(e), who is depressed, becomes happier, since she is ready to accept the end of the world. Claire, however, becomes vulnerable, as she is not ready to lose all she has. The film's producer, Lars Von Trier, suffered from depression at the time <s>when </s>he was making Melancholia. It was his inspiration! <s>Actually, it even inspired him</s>. <s>And </s>You can clearly feel it as you're watching <s>it</s>, since the main heroine also suffers from depression <s>too</s>. "Melancholia" isn't gripping in a literal sense, nor does it have <s>it has </s>unexpected twists. The plot develops slowly, giving you time to savour <s>the </s>Wagner's "Tristan und <s>and </s>Isolde" and the fantastic acting of Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. This film isn't going to teach you a lesson, but it will give you the chance to know how depression feels <s>like</s>. The ending is bittersweet and ambiguous. For Justin(e) it was <s>a </s>salvation, and for Claire it was an inevitable catastrophe. "Melancholia" made a lasting impression on me, although I understand why many people don't like it. It is neither bound to entertain you nor does it <s>will </s>try to hold your attention. It's up to you whether you want to plunge into the atmosphere of despair or sweet inevitability.

    ________________
    I have not seen the movie but tried to correct what I believe you wanted to say! Justine is a female name and Justin a male name but perhaps she was named Justin? I would not translate Wagner's music title but it could be written either way :-). You have made me a bit intrigued to watch the movie! :-) We all write differently! :-) You've done a great job already.

    Increased traffic in my town

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am contacting you because I am very concerned about the increase in car and truck traffic in this town. I believe the motorway works are affecting the normal traffic flow in the area and this is causing many problems in town.

    First of all, there is so much traffic that citizens have to leave home 30 minutes earlier every morning so they arrive to work on time.

    Secondly, cars are constantly honking and the noise levels are unacceptable. This used to be a quiet town and now it is extremely noisy all the time.

    Thirdly, some cars don’t respect the pedestrian crossing and it is not safe for kids to walk to school on their own anymore.

    All in all, I believe the mayor should do something to reduce the amount of traffic in our town. I think traffic should be diverted to the secondary road instead of the main road. That way, traffic on the main road could be considerably reduced.

    It would be grateful if you could do something to resolve this problem.

    Yours faithfully,
    Andrea

    The 3rd day of writing in my diary.

    August, 8. Saturday.
    Today is the third day of writing in my diary and my first working week is over. What I have realised:
    - Being friends with your employer is extremely hard, even if we were friends before. It isn't easy, but possible if you accept each other's moments(?) with patience :)
    - I've found that the older I become, the more childish I am. I haven't decide yet if this is something good or bad. Isn't this one of our generation's traits?
    - Another picture of my cat as compensation for reading my odd thoughts ;)
