My seventh note Hello everyone! Today I want to write about advantages and disadvantages of big cities. When I was a child, I wanted to live in a big city. And now I am living in such place. I’ll count the main advantages of the big cities for me. 1. There is a huge variety of possibilities. 2. There are a lot of different people. Chances to meet people, which you will like, are high. 3. Types of spending your free time are variable. You can learn something in a group, attend theatres and museums etc. The main disadvantages for me are under this line. 1. There are a lot of people, who have culture and habits, which are different from yours. 2. You spend a lot of time for road. 3. You don’t have enough private place. What do I prefer now? I don’t know exactly. I guess the big cities are better for people from 18 to 35. And small towns are better for others. Thank you for reading! Best regards, Lena.

My sixth note Hello everyone! I wanted to write every day, but I was very busy last weekend. So I missed 2 times of my writing practice. I don’t blame myself. I hope that I won’t miss my writings often. Today I want to write about prices. Do the prices actually equal to quality? Last weekend I recognized what I need to find a teacher for learning English more effective. I thought about price near 10$ per hour. My new language partner has advised me a teacher. Her lessons are 22$ per hour. It is too expensive for me. So I have to decide what should I do. What teacher will be better for me? Should I take less expensive lessons? Or find someone who is cheaper? What kind of teacher will be better: native speaker, Russian speaker or even others? Thank you for reading! If you could give me some advices, let me know. Best regards, Lena.

My fifth note Hello everyone! Today I will write about my last book what I have read. It was the “1984” by George Orwell. I was impressed when I finished. Thank you for reading! Best regards, Lena.

My fourth note Today I want to write about e-shopping. In my opinion, it is one the best and comfortable inventions in the internet. Maybe the best one is Wikipedia. And social networks are also more important. But e-shopping is also on the top of my imaginable chart. It is amazing what you don’t need to go somewhere to looking for something. You don’t need to spend your free time for traditional shopping. And one of the main reasons to choose e-shopping for me is a global character of it. I can buy something anywhere. I can observe all the world to find goods what I need in 10 minutes. My favorite website for e-shopping is aliexpress.com. I have bought a lot of cheap things there. And a good luck was in my side. All my purchases were nice and had a good quality. But I know a lot of examples from my friends when their buys were not so successful. So e-shopping seems to me like a big lottery.

My second note Hello everyone! I don't want to make a diary. I will write short stories on different topics. Just all what I think. I hope it will be interesting to you. So let's start. Today it is Saint Valentine's Day. This is an intarnational holiday. But I have never celebrated it. I think, it is not honest. If you love somebody, do you need a special day to say that? I think no. You can say that every day without any special reason. By the way, the people who are not in love can be upset today. I hope whey will be better soon. So it is not so important holiday, if it makes people feel bad. Than you for reading! Best regards, Lena.

My first note Hello everybody! Thank you for reading my note. I hope it will not so boring. Recently I recognized what I have done plenty of wrong decisions. I always want to be the best in all cases. Maybe not in all things, but in the interesting for me. And I felt what I am not in the right place. My short biography. I was born in a little town in the East of Ukraine. I studied with a pleasure and acheived some nice results. After that I went to study to bigger city. So I finished Donetsk Tecknical University. I found an interesting job there. I write a lot of programs for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and felt myself nice. I decided to find an international job that time. I wanted to travel and do my lovely work. So I decided to learn English intensively. I found a nice courses and started my studying. But civil war started unexpectidly. My job was closed. And I needed to find a new job as soon as was possible. And I was agreed to the first offer for me. So I went to Saint Petersburg, Russia. My new job wasn't a job of my dream. But it was not the hardest for me. I find out the new city not so nice for living. It is nice for tourists and in summer mostly. It was cold for me, because I can't accept cold wet weather without real warm summer. I guess, a lot of people don't agree with me. But it is my reality. So first time here (in Saint Petersburg) I was happy. I didn't see any war and had some money for living. But I remember my dream. And I want to live in a mild climate and have lovely job. So I recognized what I spent a lot of time without any result. I don't have any chances whithout English. I need to study. I have a dream and I will not do any step back. So now I am learning English as hard as I can. And I am going to white short notes every day. I hope you wan't bored with my complains) If you want to help my with my dream - you can help me with my English :) Best regards, Lena.

Do foreigners see the differenсes between Ukrainian and Russian people? I met a lot of people who thought that the word "Urainian" is equal  to word "Russian". Do you think so? And why?

Can you advise me? How can I attract the attention of the English-speaking people? I want to find friends who speak English. What would be interesting to you in their place?
