Typhoon
A typhoon was coming. While I was leaving the office, the strong wind pushed me many times.
I couldn't walk straight.
All I thought about was my bunny. I hoped that my bunny would not be frightened.
After I came back home, I fed him fresh grass. He is very cute.
I wish the typhoon leaves Taiwan quickly.

Hi! My name's Nikita. I'm 23 years old. I live in Russia. My native city is Zelenograd, it's near Moscow. I have always wanted to learn English because it's a very popular language and it's in our life very much. Here, I hope to find people who'll help me learn English.
Hi! It's true, English is very popular throughout the world. I'd be glad to help you as you learn!

In general terms, rain is recurrent throughout the whole year in Colombia since it´s a tropical country. We do have a time of the year where it rains more than the rest, but it is not rare that it rains hard every now and then when it´s not the rain season. I was born and raised in Bogotá, the capital, which is one of the coldest cities in the country, and the overall temperature during the whole year here is about 20°C during the daytime and about 10°C in the nightime. We don´t have seasons here, but what we call "summer" occurs in December and January, and our "winter" is somewhere around May or June, and then just rain, and rain, and rain, and a sunny day, and rain, and rain all the rest of the year. It´s actually difficult to tell when the weather will change, especially nowadays with all the climate changes and global warming and all that sad stuff that our poor Mother Earth is getting from us in return of her measureless generosity. We have three mountain chains here which are a part of the Andean chain, and we have two coasts (Atlantic and Pacific), therefore, we have all the thermal levels and ideal conditions for harvesting and fishing during the whole year. Unfortunately, our governors kindly steal from all those resources and make us a poor country even though we have all that!
Because of the mountain chains also as well, ground travelling is very difficult and dangerous since we have to go around the mountains instead of just driving in a straight line like in other countries. The good thing about that is that you get to see astonishing landscapes when driving from one part of the country to another. You can see woods, lakes, farms, villages, and at some routes like the one that goes from Bogotá to Villavicencio you have to cross tunnels through the mountains.
It´s really cool when you go from Bogotá to a warmer spot, because when you´re in the open road you can tell you´re in a different climate because of the smell of vegetation. It looks the same through the window but it smells different, and then you just know you´re getting closer. There are really smoking hot cities not too far away from Bogotá. After a 2 hour drive you can certainly be sweating your guts out and screaming for an ice-cold beer in cities like Villeta or Fusagasugá, which have nice hotels and fortunately POOLS! If you go a little up to the north, on the other hand, you´ll get to Boyacá, which is on a higher altitude (colder) and full of stories about our heritage. Thanks for your corrections.0 votedAugust 1, 20121Cher的小作文: May 06, 2010 Do not let any one effect your mood
There is always someone who can effect my mood: friends, parents, or even strangers. So why can't we control ourselves? Do you guys ever think about this? Everyone wants a happy day, but not everyone can make this happen;so we just try our best to think more about happiness when we meet with something bad. I must say, I am not happy right now, but I am try my best to make myself happy.
