Making decisions

I am thinking about my life and try to recall all of wrong decisions I have made. It is very hard to say which one was wrong and which one was good. In a way all of them were good because thanks to them I am who I am and I am now writing this essay. As far as I am concerned the wrong decisions do not exist. You can't make a wrong decision. It is always your choice. Sometimes after, you may wonder if you did everything what could be done, or if it was good but you cannot change it and the only thing you can do is to accept it. I think that all those decisions make a person, a character. You meet your friend because it is your decision, you study and work and that is your decision, you can even kill somebody and that is always your decision. In my opinion you should always reckon with the consequences. Even if we make a mistake it is good because it is another experience for us and the next time we won't make the same mistake. Sometimes the decision which seem to be wrong are turning to be good in the future. I think that we always make the best decisions for us at the moment we are concidering it. The future is a mystery and life is going on so I think that there is not much time to think if one decision was good or bad.

The old people

Being old is not easy especially in Poland. When you are young and healthy you don't think about that far future. But that are the usual ups and downs. First we are beautiful and then we are old. But can you be happy when you are eighty years old and you can barely walk? Unfortunately, in my opinion there are more disadventages than advantages of being old.
First of all, your appearance changes very much. You get smaller and you have got wrinkles all over the body. Your hair become gray. I think that it is very hard to get to used to such changes. What is even more important than appearance is the phisical fitness. Very often old people have got troubles with walking. They need to use walkingstick or even the wheelchair.
The next thing is that because of the lack of the phisycal fitness old people are not able to exist by their own. Very often they are dependent on their children. Moreover, children decide to send their parents to the old people's home which is rather condemning them to death than help. They feel unnecessary but they prefer to stay alone at house than go to the old people's home.
Furthermore, are old people poor very often. They are reciving their pensions but it is just enough for very modest living. They cannot afford going on vacation or sanatorium. They cannot even meet their friends because often they are just dead already.
As far as I am concerned it is not easy to be old person. I wish I had good children who would take care of me or maybe it is better to dye earlier. I think that the age is the only thing on this world which cannot be bought.

STEREOTYPES that Polish people like vodka

To start with, the definition of stereotypes sais that it is some kind of belief about different behaviours of people or nations. There are a lot of stereotypes mainly of nations. For example we can say that Gypsies are thieves, German people like drinking beer and sausages, French people are very fashionable, etc. Of course not all of the stereotypes are true and many of them are not real and may be very offensive. Those believes are the result of gathering the experiences by a large number of people from one country about people from the other countries. Most of the stereotypes are based on one's experiences which could be very good or very bad. So, we should be very careful before we start to judge other nations or people because very often the stereotypes are absolutely different. Lets look at the polish nation stereotype. We are said to be hospitable and kind. When we talk about polish person it is clear that she or he is a catholik who goes to church every Sunday. In free time polish person drinks a lot of vodka. We are very brave as the nation and we are great patriots but we quarrel a lot and we cannot build our country properly. We are good workers especially abroad but we are also thieves and we mainly steal cars forom Germany. This is how our polish stereotype looks like. Unfortuantelly I cannot agree with everything what is said about polish people. It is sad that the stereotypes are deep - rooted in the general view and that they are very hard to be changed. On the other hand it is good to know the customs of other countries but we should not listen to the all stereotypes and try to create as positive view of our country as possible.

Addictions

In contemporary times addictions are present in almost every spheres of people's lives. There are many different kinds of addictions, for instance: alcoholism, workoholism or even shopaholism. Now the question arises whether everything can be a drug and is it actually possible that everyone is addicted.
Many people claim that one of the aspects of addictions is connected with people's emotional site. Drugs and alcohol are a common cure for family problems, lack of money, professional failures, loneliness or boredom. They strongly believe that these things are able to solve all their problems and make them happy.
The second very important dimension of the case is television, which may become equally addictive as drugs. Nowadays people more and more often are becoming "coach potatoes" and simply can not resist watching programmes. Especially young people are prone to exaggerate with the television which makes a lot of harm to their brains. And the last, yet not the least important is the fact that addictions like workoholism or shopaholism are becoming even more and more common. In shopaholism are especially involved women, who feel the overwhelming need so as to buy something. Very often all the purchases are completely useless. Whereas workoholism is mostly the domain of men, for whom their job and competition are the only passions.
However, despite all these addictions, there are still people who appreciate more a good book rather than a television programme and more relaxing for them is a walk in the park than a trip to the shop.
To sum up, in every one of us, there is a little part despising the consumerism of this world. The most important thing is to discover it, as any drug or addiction will not make the world easier.

Books or computers - what is the better form of entertainment?

Computers belong to the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Since they were invented, they make our life much easier. Thanks to the computers we are able to communicate with our friends from the different parts of the world and we are given the great opportunity to educate, work and have fun. Today, some of us claim that computers are for them the only form of entertainment. Although computers have a huge impact on our life, there is still a tiny percentage of people who think that these machines couldn't ever replace good books, which are the best kind of entertainment.
Books appeared much earlier then the computers and we shouldn't forget about all these great writers, who for ages have been making our libraries full of wonderful, interesting and breathtaking stories. In my opinion, we shouldn't stop reading books, because it is the one way we could develop our imagination and vocabulary. By reading we can gain some information about world and history. It is not true that people stop reading. Many people, including myself and my friends, prefer reading to staring at a computer screen. For us it isn't funny to spend a lot of time in front of the computer and playing stupid computer games. It's nothing as a waste of worth time. Instead of computers I have my own way to enjoy myself. Every evening I spend with one of my favourite books. When I am reading, I don't care about anything. This form of spending time is for me the best one.
It is said that children whose parents used to read them in their childhood grow up to very intelligent people with richer vocabulary. What is more, their imagination seems to be more flexible and well-developed.
There is also a reasonable solution for these computer lovers, who couldn't imagine spending day without a computer. They can read books published in the Internet. In this way some authors try to make their books more available and connect a modern way of entertainment with the old one. They believe that this method will encourage more potential readers to read.
Books constitute a great part of our life. They have been present for many years and their pages contain a lot of history. Books are a very important source of information. I think that books are better form of entertainment than computers.

Why do people go on diet?

Nowadays people want to look healthy and slim. They think that it will help them in their career and private life. Especially woman try to lose their weight. They usually take slimming pills and go on exhausting diets. They do that because they want to be admired by men and they want to look like well-known actresses, models and TV announcers. But they have to remember that there are some extreme cases when diet leads to serious disorders and illnesses, for example bulimia and anorexia.
Of course there are some safe ways of losing your weight and looking good. First of all you have to limit proteins and fats, and you must remember to drink a lot, because if you don't, you will dewater your body. You should also remember about exercising because it speeds up metabolism and builds muscles. A good idea is to make a list of things you eat and to count calories.
But we have to also remember that there are a some people who go on diet because they want to feel better or they don't eat some kinds of food because of their convictions and religion. For example Jews don't eat pork, and vegetarians and vegans don't eat any kind of meat.

Learning foreign languages

Learning foreign languages can be very useful in our lives. People learn languages because they want to make contact with new people in foreign countries. They also want to be more self-confident when they are abroad. It is very important to know how to ask what direction you should go or simply where you are at the moment. Besides when you know foreign languages you can find out something new about customs and traditions of foreign countries.
People who know many languages expect to find a better job. And it is true, because there are a lot of professions where you simply have to know foreign languages. For example journalists and diplomats must know languages to be able to take part in conversations and to exchange point of view, or for example scientists, they should know foreign languages to follow the latest news in many fields of science.
Some people learn foreign languages because they are forced to do that if they want to pass their exams. But I must also say that there are a lot of people who do that because they like learning languages. They do that just for themselves and that is their hobby. They also learn languages because they want to read foreign books in original or to communicate throw the internet with their friends abroad.
I think that the most popular language is English. It is called "lingua franca". People use it to make deal all over the world and it is also the language of a pop-culture. Many singers think that it sounds better then their own languages.
I must say that if we want to understand a modern world we should learn foreign languages, especially English.

Friendship

Everybody needs a friend - person, who is very close for us, like a sister or a brother. That person can help us with our problems and said "If I were you I would...". we can depend on him or her and be sure that our secrets wouldn't come to light. But a friendship isn't only a play. We must take care on it- it's very important and we can't forget about it, because we can loose what we have had and hurt somebody's feelings. When we have a friend we can't only think about ourselves but about another person too. Otherwise we will seem to be selfish and nobody wont want to be friends with us. Another thing in friendship is that we can't become a friends with someone in a week time. It takes (I mean a good friendship)a lot of time too, because we must sacrifice it if we want get to know some person very well and know what we can expect of him or her. Nevertheless a person who has got a friend is very lucky person.

How to safe money?????

Do you think that you spend too much money in shops? If you think that you spend too much money, do you want to stop shopping? If you do not want to, you should read my tips. Remember that spending money is good if we control ourselves. I have some experience with saving money and I want to share it with you.
My first advice is to make a list of things that you want to buy before going to shop. You also should think how much money do you want to spend. In the shop you should buy only things which are on the list and do not spend more money that you planned. Do not go to other shops; go only to those where you can find the necessary things.
The second one is: do not look at the advertisement when you think of buying something. Advertisements try to make people buy things they do not need. They appeal to emotions in many ways, they try to make us think that we want to buy something. For example many shops present their articles in such a way that they seem more attractive then in reality. They use music, nice colours and nice looking displays to attract people.

The third advice: watch TV, read newspapers, search in the Internet. You may find the same articles that are in shops but cheaper. Look for discount sales and coupons. The savings may be small but when you sum them it turns out that you saved a lot of money. It is if you buy many such things.
The last advice is that you should not take a credit card with you. If you go to buy some food or other not very expensive things take only the amount of money that you will need. There will be no temptation to buy something unnecessary because you will not have money.
I hope that my advice will help you in saving money. I know that the temptation to spend more than you can is great but I believe that you can win with it. Happy saving!

My favourite restaurant

There is a nice polish restaurant close to my town which is called "pirate". I like going there very much. The restaurant is made of wood and it looks like an old inn. Inside everything is made of wood: chairs, tables, decorations. the people sit around big square tables. The tables are separated by wooden walls. I like this idea very much - it is very comfortable when you can eat, talk or do something else and the other people do not look at you all the time . The restaurant offer a great variety of food, from many countries but most of it is Polish. The prices are not too high. They play many different kinds of music but usually it is a polish folk music. It sounds nice, especially because of the style of the restaurant. I like this restaurant and I often go there with my friends if we have money.

My favourite sport

The sport I like the most is bicycling. It's a sport which you can practice alone or in a group. It gives you a sense of freedom, you can go anywhere. Bicycling is good for health and the body. The muscles develop when you ride a bike often. You can also lose weight and become slim. When you are stressed you can ride a bike for some time and it will help you. This is my favorite sport and I practice it a lot. During vacations I ride a bike every day. I do it also in other seasons of the year but during vacations I have much more free time.

How do you spend your free time?

There are many different things which you can do in your free time. Personally I don't have much free time; however, there always happen some free moments on the weekends. I don't do any especially exciting things then. Sometimes I simply lie on the sofa and watch TV. I like series movies, like "Friends". I must admit that I also watch soap operas to entertain. In my mind you cannot learn anything watching TV so I generally choose silly programs. On Fridays and Saturdays I usually meet my friends. I like visiting my friend Magda and spend whole afternoon and night at her home. From time to time we visit bars and discos. However, we do it rarely, as they are too expensive for us. I like going there anyway. In such places you have a chance to meet interesting people, dance or simply talk to your friends. Another thing that I like to do is to play computer games. I find it really funny. I think that if I had a free week, I might play these games constantly even for 12 hours. Most of my friends consider it strange and stupid, but for me it is really a great entertainment. It happens to me that I have completely no idea how to spend my free time, I simply lie in bed. I love sleeping. I am keep on being alone in my room, when there are no people around me and I have a chance to sleep till midday. I am looking forward for the vacations to come. I already made some plans. I am going to go to Poland for two weeks.

What is your favourite season of the year?

I would like to know what's your favourite seasons are and why. My favourite one is winter because I like cold weather and a low temperature. Maybe it may sound weird for some of you, but I have liked this season since I was a child and it doesn't seem to change. As I mentioned, I adore snow and frost. It doesn't disturb me that it is sometimes really cold. For me the more cold, the better. I don't like sun because I feel really bad when it is scorching hot weather or just more than 23 degrees. And when it is really cold, I feel fantastic and I'm full of energy.Is there any winter freak among you? Or am I alone with my season preferences? Please give your opinions with justifications.

5 dollar foot long.

The entire subway 5 dollar foot long campaign is a great one. Their campaign includes ad's with a "catchy" song that sticks in everybodies head. This allows people to always think about their deal and not only when they see an ad. Also their campaign of 5 dollars for a sandwhich is good. In this economy it is a great deal especialy for a large amount of food. The good thing about 5 dollars is that its small change so most people have it with them. Its also exact change which is good(no cents Ex: 89cents or 99cents). 5 dollars is just one paper bill. This entire campaign was targeted to a large crowd, making it sucha great campaign

Miami

got milk?

I think that “Got milk?” campaign was very effective. We can see in magazine milk mustache on celebrities. According to Got milk website, the slogan "got milk?" was licensed to the National Milk Processor Board in 1998 to use on their celebrity print ads, which since 1995, included celebrities from the fields of sports, media and entertainment, as well as fictional characters from TV and film such as The Simpsons and Batman, posing in print advertisements sporting a "milk moustache", employing the slogan, "Where's your mustache?". The campaign has been credited with greatly increasing milk sales nationwide after a 20-year slump

Food.

I really care about what I eat, even more because I have terrible allergies when I am not eating well enough, usually my body feels the necessity of some nutrients.I cook for myself everyday. I always put in my meals a little bit of everything: protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fiber and so on. Also, I always try to eat different things everyday. For breakfast I start eating cereal instead of bread, and a cup of coffee. For lunch I always try to eat vegetables and some protein. For dinner I have a very light meal. Sometimes yogurt, a fruit or salad. I love junk food, so it is very difficult to avoid those foods. Then, in between meals, I nipple a granola bar, fruit or nuts.I guess I haven't changed my eating habits. I still have lunch as my most important meal of the day. And I don't survive without breakfast. Although all the ingredients I use to cook my meals are American, hardily I use anything from my Country.

Internet relationships

I think internet is a very good place where you can find someone. Internet relationships has been going very common all over the world. I have seen so many people in my life who met on the internet and some of them get successful their relationship. But the other hand i don't like when people started romance on the internet without see each other. In my opinion, they should see each other first and then they might take a decision. Because internet relationship is not 100% successful.

Celebrities

A lot of companies pay huge money for " using" celebrities. Most of the cosmetic companies have started involve the famous faces of actresses like Drew Berrymore, Eva Langoria, Sara Jesica Parker or Jesica Alba instead of super models.It's working because a lot of women identify, look up to them and they want use at least the products they use, specially when they are affordable. Honestly I don't even think they use the staff they advertise. However, Tiger Wood is obligated to wear only Nike, when he signed a contract with them. In my opinion endorsing product may not work when companies use not the "right" person for it.

Hair salon

Last month, I visited Adam Broderick Salon in Ridgefield to dye and cut my hair. As soon as I came in, I was greeted warmly and asked if I needed any help. The girl from customer service offered me drink and guided me to waiting area, where they also served breakfast. The customer service was great, they smile, take good care of customers, they created very a relaxing atmosphere, and I felt like I was pampered. The workers were very nice, they introduced themselves by name, and also the owner came to welcome me. The stylists have very professional advices for me, but also they listened what my needs were. My appointment was and 9 am and did not have to wait even one minute for my haircut. At the end, the stylist gave me her card with 25% off for my 3 visits; she also helped me to find in their “beauty spot” the right types of beauty products for me. She walked me to reception place where my two hours at this salon ended. You can feel very special at this place thanks to customer service and their professional skills. I highly recommend this salon; I feel beautiful and special every time I walk out

The best birthday present!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My birthday coming soon VERY SOON. I am very excited because my mom is coming for my birthday. This is the first time when she is coming to visit me. I have been in the United States for almost three years but she never been here before. She is very nervous because she can not speak any English but I am sure everything is gonna be OK. She is coming for 2 weeks and I already plan what we can do in my free time. First of all I would like to show her New York City and Boston. Also I want to take her on vacation ( I need too). I was thinking about weekend in Miami but we will see. I hope she will like New York. I wonder because I was very disappointed. In my opinion is too many people, too laud and too dirty but everyone likes something else so who knows.

Needs/wants

We can say that in life word ''want'' is actually replaced with ''need''. It's much more often used around and let's be obvious, it sounds much better, not for others, but for ourself!!! Of course we won't say ''I want this, I want that'', because you can want anything, it doesn't really matter. However, if you will say ''I really need that.'' -you need it and that's it! Those ''needs'' come from us, we are the authors of them, and we are the only ones that can manage them. It's obvious that it's manufactured by marketers, but all their work is to make ourselves say ''I need it!!!'' Marketers are using that to make a business on us. And let's be honest, we all are easy to fool with those ''needs''. Well, we have to shop with head and be very carefful for advertisments or workers who are trying to sell you their products, ''their product is the best of all!'' so you need it. Sellers are always fast, they cannot let you think, so you won't have any doubts and you will easly buy their product. But let's always ask ourselves a question: ''Do I really need that?'' And possibly the answer would be ''No, I want it!''

My favourite book

Once I have read a book called "My dzieci z dworca Zoo" written by Christiane F. I was impressed by it. The book describes lives of children who are addicted to drugs. The material for this book was gathered by Hermann and Horst Rieck. The action took place in the western Berlin. The main character is a young girl who came from a good, loving family and was a good schoolgirl. Then, when she was 12 years old, she entered a bad companion and started smoking hashish and later she turned to harder drugs. She was taking heroine at the age of 13. She began getting bad marks but her parents did not understand what was happening - they thought that it was because of the new surrounding (they had moved to western Berlin only recently). They did not think that it was something more dangerous. In order to get money for the drugs she was working as a prostitute on the station Zoo. She also did not understand what was happening with her, that drugs were destroying her life. She believed that she was not addicted and could give up whenever she wanted to. Her friends were dying but she survived thanks to her mother who tried to help as much as she could. The book shows the situation from two points of view: of the mother and the girl. It is appealing to both parents and younger readers. This book is a warning and should be read by everyone.

Changes at NCC

If I could pick one thing to change about the NCC I would change the parking situation. Everyday I have dificulties finding a parking space. This is an issue because many have to park illegaly or drive in circles until they find a spot, but that may cause students to be tardy to classes. Parking is an issue because NCC has more students(that can drive/have a car) than parking spaces. It wouldnt be an issue if classes were at different times or if we had more parking places/lots. I really think it is important to change this, it would benefit many!

Sunday

Today I feel really tired. I 've been drving almost all day. In the morning we went to the Polish Church in Stamford and after that we decided to go to the mall :) I LOVE SHOPPING. In the afternoon I spent 2 hours on the gym. Now I am home and I have to do my grammar assigments. Also tommorow I have my match test. I am a little bit nervous, but usually match is very easy for me. For my grammar assigments I have to write about nutrition. That can be intresting because unfortunately I love junk food. Besides that I have to write ten sentense about mysterious place. This semester I am taking three on-line classes and I can tell it is a lot of work. Every day I am doing something and it takes forever. Becouse of those classses I am addiction to computer use. I am spending most of my day sitting on the computer and doing my homework or assigment. Also I am checking if the teachers graded or sended me e-mail at least three times a day.

POLAND

deal or not to deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyday all of us have to deal or not to deal with the “super occasions”. For example, I noticed that if I am going shopping and let’s say the price of the cans of soup is 1.95 per can one day, I will buy the exactly amount of soups which I need it . But the next day, if the store is priced the exactly the same can of soup for $1.95 but with a tag saying "maximum 8 cans per customer," I as a shopper will think that the deal is so good that I should take advantage before others do. ( I will buy those 8 cans even I do not need them).
The second example – I just came back from the cell phone store. I saw there a note FREE iPHONE - Small print: When you subscribe to a 36 month contract at $80 per month so if we have to pay 36 installments of $80, then it is not free.
The third example, LAST MINUTE VACATION. My friends just came back from that kind of vacation – it was a disaster. They paid less for the vacation ( but nobody mentioned extra costs for the parking, breakfast, transport from and to the airport (which was include in regular offer). They also had to change their hotel for not as good as they suppose to have it. When we buying a discount last minute travel package we have to deal that is too good to be true, always we have to look at the fine print - or any other print there is. I guess we need to prepare our self for extra costs that may not be included with the base price; price that we see initially on an offer.

going green

The environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility! This is what we can hear or see on many comercials. The 'Go Green' program works almost everywhere lately. It creates responsibility to protect the environment by being green and saving green at home. One of the very visible examples are green bags which promotes and encourage to 'be cool and stay green'. Lately we can see a lot of people carring those kinds of bags. We can also find clothes, which say about one green thing. I think it is a great idea to do this kind os advertising. Hopefuly that could help people to really think and do something alout it. I love it and I'm very into it.In Poland, my home country we are celebrating Earth's Day in simmilar way. Once a year, on the Earth's Day we are helping her to stay clean. It's like a present from people to the Earth, because she is like our mother. Schools organize trips to parks and other places or students stay in school areas to help clean up the Earth. It's a lot of fun in these days. Many people are wearing something green, as a symbol and everyone is talking about it, you can hear about it in radio, TV, and even on the streets. We have also organized concerts and festivals on this day.I think we HAVE to take care of our planet, because we live here. Earth is our home, so lets help her be healthy!!!

Money is not the most important thing in our live.

Money is something which is often discuss in today's world. However it is higly debatable whether it is more important to have money than other considerations, such as health and happiness, which some people consider to be of greater significance. To begin with, it is often argued that having money enables people to exert influence over others. Wealthy businessmen, although they seem to work 24 hours a day, are often the most highly respected members of society. As a consequence, money can be seen as the single most important factor in daily life.Secondly, people work to have more and more money because they know that money can buy things, like home, car, good clothes, education and even health. If you have money you can afford the best hospitals and clinics. But the truth is, that despite the fact that money can pay for the best medical care available, this is no guarantee of a longer life.On the other hand, people spend a lot of time in work, trying to earn as much as possible. They forget about their health, themselves and life outside the office. That is why one of the civilization illness is called workaholism. It describes a situation when a person is so obsessed with work itself that can not normally exist in the world without job anymore.That is why in my opinion, money is an important factor in our life and work is the key to it, but they can not replace our health and relationships with the other people.

My favourite vacation

Vacation is the greatest time of the year. It is so great because of not attending school for more than two months. My best place I ever visited in my life is Egypt. As a child I was lucky to enough to visit Africa. I saw many interisting monumets such as sfinks and Piramides. The weather was hot and sunny all the day. People from Egypt are really nice and friendly. I really like Egypt because I love the sun, sun bathing, salty water and egzotic place. It was a great time for me and my family. We lived in a really nice hotel with a view on the sea with many atractions like swimming pool or fitness center. They also had great cusine and service was very nice. Definately, it was the best vacation in my life.

My home town- Warsaw

Warsaw is the Capital of Poland and the largest city. It is located on the Vistula River roughly 370 kilometers from both the Baltic Sea cost and the Carpathian Mountains. Warsaw is 8th largest City in the European Union. Warsaw climate is continental humid. The average temperature is 28 F in January and 68 F in July. Temperatures may often reach 86 F in the summer time. During the Second World War, Warsow came under the German control. All higher education institutions were imedialtely closed and Warsaw's entire Jewish population harded into Warsaw Ghetto. At the end of Second World War about 85 procent of the city had been destroyed, including the historic Old Town and the Royal Castle. With the entry of Poland into the European Union in 2004, Warsaw is currenly experiencing the biggest economic boom of its history. One of the most famous people born in Warsaw is Maria Sklodowska Curie, who achieved international recognition for her scientific discoveries. Another famous person from Warsaw is the musician Fryderyk Chopin.

My favourite place to live.

Everyone dreams about the place where we would like to live in the future. Some of us dream of nice house in the mountains or in the forest. But some people want to have a big apartment in the city. Today people are afraid of their future, especially now because of the economy situation in the world and they want to have the roof over the head no matter where it will be.

When I was a child I wasn't afraid about my future, moreover I didn't think about it, but I had an imagination of my perfect house. I would like to live somewhere where is hot and sunny and climate is more friendlier. I think polish climate is too cold, but it is much warmer than a couple years ago. I would like to live next to the sea or ocean where I could swim. I would like to have a huge house on the sea shore. I wouldn't need the warm clothes and I wouldn' be afraid about snow.

There are so many interesting and beutiful places to live and discover. I hope I could live in a warm country in the future.

My first month in America.

I remember very good my first month in the United States. That was almost 3 years ago. I was very excited to came here, even if I was a little bit nervous because I could not speak any English. Everything was new for me and very diffrent than my home country Poland. After a few days I realized that my English is really bad and I can not communicate with people. that was a really hard time for me, especially when people asked me a question and my aswer was I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. I didn't know what to do. I felt really bad. I decided to go to school but they told that I have to wait 3 months because English classes start in September. I decided to study by myself with dictionary and with the internet and that really helps me a lot. After a couple weeks I was able to understand some basic words and speak a little. I was really praud of myself.Now I know if you really want something you can do it!!!

Place I Call Home

The place that I call home is definatelly place when I was born and I grew up. I spent there nineteenth years. This place is Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Poland is lacated in central Europe next to the Germany, Ukraine, Cech Republic, Slovakia and Belarus.

Warsaw my home town is the biggest city in Poland with almost two millions populations. I call this place my home because I grew up there and all my family lives there. Also after I graduete from college I planing to go back home and live there. This is still my home, even if I live here now. Warsaw is still in my heart. I really miss my home, my friends and my family, especially my mom. When I visit my home during the vacation I am really happy there, but every time when I am there my city chenges and looks very diffrent than I have been there last time.

In my opinion your home is and will be there where you were born, even when you not live there anymore.
