<em>Ice</em> rink and golf

Have you ever played golf? This game is not popular in Russia. But one month ago I played it <em>for the</em> first time! :) My birthday was on December. I invited my friends to a <em>ice</em> rink, but it was CLOSED! We didn't know what to do in a huge hypermarket (there were an indoor ice rink in this hypermarket). How can you have fun in a place with variety of shops? But we've been saved - we found a little golf park :). I haven't ever played it and I was afraid a little because I can't play it... But I was able to do it! It was so cool and very fun! One hour went as 5 minutes! Especially I liked various obstacles for a ball :D
After that we went to the cafe and my friends gave me different gifts :)
P.S. This photo isn't very good. But how many emotions!

Create Your Own America

Dave told me this at our first class: if you want to learn English, go to America right away. If you can't go to America, create your own America. I didn't understand this very well until now.

I watch English TV series every day, as well as chatting with English speakers and writing English notebook entries here. When I think of something, I try to think it in English. Do you twitter every day? You'd better follow some English guys and also post in English.

So that is what I started doing recently. Hope I would make great improvement.

I really appreciate if someone here can correct my mistakes.

<em>Good luck! :D</em>

Influence of social networks

The influence of social network on our lives is amazing, what is more we can not live without it.
I wonder how it became a part of our life. It can have a positive impact if we use it approprietly, but many people just spend the time without doing anything else.
There are many indicators we can observe if somebody is adicted or not. For example if he or she prefers to go online instead of going out with their friends, or when somebody needs help and in reply one says "just a few minutes".
However, if we use it with good intentions, we can get the most out of it, but we have to be cautious.
in my opinion, this social network is excellent as we can share information and i guess everybody has a purpose.

Hi all! I want to write about myself. Please help me and correct my text.

Hi all! Just a few words about myself. I'm positive and friendly girl. I like different music and books with deep sense, interesting films and my job (I'm an organizer and coordinator of holidays). Sometimes I like to play piano and guitar. In people I appreciate sincerity, honesty and talent. I want to improve my English and to impart my knowledges of Russian.
