Friends "Friends" is one of my favorite TV shows. I have been watching them for the second time and still laughing at the same jokes. This TV show is a great way to learn English and improve your listening skills. The language in this show is colloquial and not so hard to understand. At first, I watch an episode with subtitles, write down unknown words and learn them. Next, I watch the episode with the turned subtitles on. I have noticed that my listening skills became much better, moreover, my vocabulary has grown up.

Reload Our society has begun very busy. One problem is solved, two more have appeared. There is too much information in our century. We think we become more intelligent, but instead, we sink in that information. We spent too much time with our cell phones, not our friends. My favorite comic George Carlin said: we have added years to life, not life to years. All of us need a big reload: we should learn to find free time and spend it on ourselves, explore the world around us, meet new friends, feel new emotions or one day we could freak out.

The choice All of us have to make choices. They can be either right or bad. Every day we face different situations in our life. But every time we should think clearly about consequences, that our choices could lead to. Sometimes a price of our choice could be very high and a bad decision could take you back for many steps from your plans.

Weather cataclysm Hail in the end of July...Can you imagine that?!:) What's going on with the weather? The only one month of the summer left but the maximum temperature in St. Petersburg was about 24 degrees. And it was only a few days this summer. The new season of Game of Thrones brought winter with itself:)

The last week of vacation The whole month left since I wrote my last notebook entry. All my free time I spent at apartment renovation. I hope I will move to my new apartment at the end of August. The last week of my vacation has started today. I wish I could travel somewhere but I have businesses here. Nevertheless, I started to collect money for winter vacation. It definitely will be Europe, but I am not sure about a country.

A bad habit Today I realized that I have a bad habit: I feel upset every time I couldn't complete all my day plans. It's is not a big problem if I haven't done something. Nobody will kill me for that:) Nevertheless, I don't like if something crashes my plans. And unfortunately, I don't know ho to deal with it. Long hard day is over and now I'm trying to relax by watching football:)

Looking forward to the business trip Today was a very long day. I had to do so many things and unfortunately, some of them are not completed. My job and apartment repairing had taken all my time, and I haven't spent enough time to English learning. Anyway, there is a good news for me: I am going to business trip to Moscow at the end of this week, where I am meeting my old friend. I am looking forward to this great weekends.

Everyday notes This is my first day of everyday notes. I promised myself to write here 5 sentences minimum about everything: job, friends, good things that happen around, traveling, even about problems. It will help me to improve my writing skills, and, that's the curious thing I've learned not so far, it also will help me to improve my speaking skills. Because writing and speaking are used for spreading our thoughts. People speak in their heads when they write something. This is an interesting fact, because I do it myself, but I don't notice that. But there is the rule, that people should follow to improve their English - one should think in English. And that is not easy for me as Russian is my native language.
