I recently purchased a new laptop. Actually the old one is still working but clearly the battery is running out. So I've preferred buying the new one as back-up right now, before the old one crashes down. In this way I could transfer all my stuff with calm and keep on working at the same time. I spent a little bit more than I would, but I hope it can last for long time.

I travelled alone so many times. I really like it. The main pros is having the greatest freedom during the trip. For example you can choose itinerary and change your mind at very last moment without arguing. Loneliness doesn't bore me at all. Obviously I like to travel with some friend as well. It's a good way to share expenses or driving time, but it's crucial pick up the mate carefully. You need to have communal interests and knowing each others very well.

I don't think increasing the cost of fossi l fuels is a wise solution on its own. In my country ecological vehicles are still too expensive and a lot of people couldn't make the switch anyway. Raising the prices could be a good way if it were combined with a cutback in price or some incentive for purchase new vehicles. Then, the supply net for these vehicles is supposed to be enhanced in order to make their usage more and more handy.

I think we need to start over building real relationships again. The social networks could be an excellent way to have a first touch and that the main reason because they were created , but they can't replace meeting people face-to-face by no means. Especially when this pandemic will be over, we should meet each other more and more in the real world. I will certainly do it! Human being is a social animal, isn't it?

My opinion about this topic is controversial. Social network and online community are really usefull for certain purpose. For example I use them to learn new languages or to get in touch with friends living abroad. But I don't like the abuse of this to meet new friends and I'm kinda afraid of it. Especially young people are forgetting how they can approach new friends face to face. Behind the laptop screen they can pretend to be someone else, but the real world is completely different

I usually have three different bins for the garbage. One for organic rests, one for paper and one for plastic. They come to pick them up in different days of the week. About the glass, I put it aside and I have to throw in a bigger can by myself. The waste sorting is a costless way to protect environment Everyone should take care of it.

When I was child I read "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde. It's a short fantasy story about a ghost haunting an old house who tries to scare the new owners. But they are not scared at all! In fact the dispute between the ghost and this emancipated family creates many ridiculous situations. I read this book dozen of times when I was child and I took with me on holiday for years. Now I would like to read it again but in English this time.

My favourite movie is Hunt for Red October. The main character is Sean Conner, my favourite actor. He perform as a Russian Submarine Captain but with his typical Scottish accent. The plot comes from a novel by Tom Clancy, one of my favourite writers. I read a lot of his books. The most of the story is set underwater and the sound effects are amazing and they help to create a really thrilling atmosphere. In fact, I think this movie won Oscar Award for sound editing. Finally I'm fond of this movie because it is the first movie I saw in English. Now I've seen it dozen of times and I know it by heart in Italian and in English. Probably I should watch it in Russian as well.
