My name is Elizabeth and I came to Italki to practice languages and meet people from all over the world. I love the English language and will be glad to help you learn it. In general I'll only be able to talk on this site because my parents are nervous about the Internet. Please write me if you're interested in talking; I'm excited to be here!

    My current goal in life, or why am I learning English

    Currently I’m a student in one of the best technical universities in Moscow. Also I have experience in IT. Despite this, I want to change my area of work. I’m keen on management consulting. Maybe most of people will say that it’s all about money but I don’t think so. For me this work is an opportunity to bring changes in the level of the management in Russia and consequently improve the standard of living in our country. All in all, I’m learning English in order to be part of the people who can change the situation of the country for the better.

    I’ll be glad to know my mistakes.

    An admirable goal, and admirable progress. Good luck)

    Рассказ Бабушка у Кати Волковы была веселая, полная, прекрасная, мудрая женщина, которую Катя с полным сердцом любила. "Наталья Васильевна", сказала Катя, приходя из школы, "Что же мне делать? Я случайно сказала ложь и сейчас надо обедать в классе и не играть с друзями." "Моя бедника", сказала это прекрасная женщина, "Не грусти. Если надо быть в классе, погода будет конечно хорошая, и после школы сольнца будет." Так и бабушка сказала, так и случилось. Бабушка знала много о жизне. Она знала, что грустные люди умные, нехорошие люди душевные, что когда дождь шел, птицы красивее пели. Катя старше стала каждый год, а всегда ходила к бабушке когда она грустила или боилась. "Наталья Васильевна, что же мне делать?" она спрашивала, и Наталья Васильевна всегда знала. "Не боися, если будущий неизвестный, это значит, что ждет тебя что-то прекрасно," она говорила. "Не грусти, если твои планы не случили, это значит, что у Бога другие планы для тебя. Если он не любит тебя, это значит, что ты можешь его сильнее любить. Если твоя жизнь разбирает, тогда скоро прйдет тебе лучшая жизнь." И все, что бабушка сказала, так и случилось. Однажды бабушка умирала, и Катя грустила как она никогда не грустила, и не знала, к кем идти. После два дни слез, она получила письмо. Читала по печерку ее дорогой бабушки, "Если я умираю и ты без меня, это значит, что я уже сказала тебе все, что тебе нужно знать."

    When I arrive at my job at 7:30 am, I check my e-mail and check the servers. by the way, I'm an IT Engineer. I work 10 hours and 30 minutes a day. (So long!!!) Between 6:00 or 6:30 pm, I go back to my home, (or, "back to my house", I take a shower, after that I take my dinner (or "have dinner") while watching TV, brush my teeth and finally I go to bed.

    The most important meeting in my life

    I think I had the most important meeting in my life I had a six month ago. This meeting helped me find a job.
    One day I was going from my English classes (or leaving my English class). I was a bit sad because I couldn’t find a job for two months. And a day before I again had been at a job interview in the publishing house and then I supposed they didn’t take me on this job. Of course, the recruitment agent was polite, but they had needed an experienced worker. And what could I say? I had just graduated from college and hadn’t any experience at all. But I wanted work in the profession very much. So I was walking on the street thinking deeply and wasn't looking around me. But then I lifted my eyes and saw a girl smiling at me. I recognized my classmate. She came to me. We greeted each other and continued walking together. She told me that she had been at college that day and our teacher asked her about me, because our teacher had the job for me. I was absolutely surprised. I walked to the college and found my teacher there. She told me that one publishing house was looking for a proof-reader. She also told me details about this publishing house and the kind of literature they printed. She asked if I wanted to apply for this job. I was a bit afraid because they printed technical literature, which is a very difficult kind of literature for proof-reading. But I decided not to miss this chance. She gave me the telephone number of the director and I arranged an appointment.
    The next day I went to the publishing house. It was the not big and quite publishing house. (Не понимаю ... как по-русски?) There were a few people working. The welcome was warming. The director was an old kind man and the main editor was a tall thin woman. They made a good impression on me. The salary was not big but it didn’t matter for me. The main thing was that I would work in my profession. Then I met the main proof-reader. She was an old woman who was working in this publishing house for a large part of her life. She wasn’t very tall, but very stately. Despite the age difference we got on well. She was very kind and helped me if had some questions.
    I've working there since then and I’m very happy. People and work are absolutely amazing. I don’t worry about difficulties any more. And I think working there is a good chance to learn my profession (maybe, in all ways?) Iam very glad that I met my classmate that day. It was an unexpected but very helpful meeting.

    It means, a desirable girl. She has "it", which is charm, sexiness, etc. The first "it girl" was Clara Bow. Example: "Looks like [such-and-such an actress] is going to be the new it-girl."

    Yeah, me too! I don't know why, because it's not a hard language, but it's super hard to get into or something.

    Presentation about London - Part 2

    There is a saying in England that "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive". So I'd like to introduce some must-sees in London to you.

    The Tower of London. Sitting alongside the Thames River, it was constructed following the Norman Conquest in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. It was used as a fort, armory, treasury, mint, palace, observatory, asylum and finally prison especially for the upper-class prisoners, from which the phrase "sent to the Tower" derives. It means "put into prison". It seems that the bloody airs are still hovering above this place and stories of Ghosts go from mouth to mouth.
    As a world cultural center, London contains museums and galleries of all kinds. The British Museum is the oldest and the most comprehensive Museum in England. In the earliest time, the collections of this museum mostly came from the collector Baron Hans Sloan, the King Jeorge (George?) the 9th and others. In the following 200 years after its birth, the British Museum also collected precious cultural relics from old countries. The cultural relics from Egypt, Greece and China especially lend it much enchantment.

    Presentation about London - Part 1

    Good afternoon everyone; today my presentation is about the city of London.
    3000 years ago, the London area was already home for the English at that time. (you already mentioned the time) In the 1st century, the Romans conquered this place and settled down. They named it Londinium. That's the origin of its name. After the 16th century, with the development of the Capitalism, London expanded itself rapidly.
    London is the capital of England, the biggest city in Europe and one of the four world-class cities together with New York, Paris and Tokyo. In 2012, it will come in front of the world's eyes again as the first city to hold the Olympics for 3 times. The Big London consists of the City of London and other 32 autonomous cities. The City of London is the oldest part of the capital and is situated on the north bank of the River Thames. London is a very multicultural city and more than 300 languages are used here.

    Wow, your English is really precise and good. A couple of little corrections, mostly for flow.
