Emotional Intelligence
People who have high emotional intelligence don't abide by their thoughts, but they are the teachers of them. They are fascinated by human behaviour. They watch for things like body language, dialect, and personal tics. Being an observer helps them to find out clues about what makes each individual special.
People that possess emotional intelligence know that you are not as weak as your weakest part, but you are as strong as your strongest part. They use their strengths as much as possible in order to make of their weaknesses a moot point.
These kinds of people have no time to bewail. They don't care about the past and keep moving forward to the present, because right here is where progress occurs. They are not obsessed by future events that are out of their control. They feel comfortable with living in a world where a crystal ball does not exist, because life is supposed to be an exciting adventure and not a routine written on a stone.
They experiment the nuances of the moment in each day of their lives. People who have emotional intelligence know that hearing and listening are two different things, and don't let negativity controls their brain.
They search and explore their environment, thereby looking for clues that reveal why they feel that way, and most importantly, what they can do to ameliorate it. They never meet a stranger they don't like. They don't care about their age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political affiliation; they love them all equally, as we are all human beings.
People who have emotional intelligence follow their moral compass in both business and life. Their values may differ from person to person, but high standards determine their behavior. People who boast emotional intelligence don't need a reason to help others. They help older women with their shopping bags, they offer themselves to do the washing-up if a friend or partner of them has prepared a meal, they hold the door not only for women but also for men.
People who have emotional intelligence can interpret the meaning of gestures, expressions, and body language. They know that they cannot depend only on language, because quite often the physical presence of a person does not match the words they say. They aspire to succeed, no matter what it takes. They are willing to deal with delays and to face difficulties, because while there's life, there's hope.
What does emotional intelligence mean to you?
Thank you!

What's love?
Throughout the years, many writers have tried to describe what love is without coming to an agreement. In fact, love is not easy to define, since it's about a complex phenomenon with many interpretations depending on the person.
Love does not mean simply that you like someone much more than anyone else, but a different feeling. For example, when you like someone, you respond affirmatively to phrases as "He/she is the kind of person I'd like to be", whereas you love someone, you are more identified with phrases as " If I couldn't see that person anymore, I would feel unhappy".
Therefore, when you are in love with someone, you experience a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection to that person. Both men and women react in similar ways when it comes to love. It means that both sexes live love the same way.
Passionate love is characterized by the existence of a sexual desire, intense emotions and a big concern by the loved person. It's a kind of love which appears quickly and intensively, although its intensity fades away over time.
Many relationships end when this initial passion disappears, whereas in other relationships the passionate love turns into another kind of love where the desire is less intense, but where there are feelings of mutual dependence, trust, and affection. It's a kind of stable and prolonged love which is much deeper as time goes by.
Love has three main components: intimacy, passion and commitment. Intimacy is that feeling of connection, union, and emotional closeness with someone. It's what makes you trust fully in that person and what allows you to tell that person anything about you and your life.
Passion refers to the sexual desire and the physical attraction they feel for each other. Commitment refers to the desire to love that person through time and to stay close to him/her. This is what pushes people to marry or living together.
Thank you!

Mon niveau de français après un an.
Salut tout le monde ! Comment allez-vous ? Ça fait longtemps que je n'ai rien écrit ici. J'ai été très occupé. Donc, je veux écrire quelque chose dans cette belle langue. En effet, je vais écrire en français afin de voir comment va mon niveau de français écrit. On y va !
Bon, j'ai commencé à étudier cette langue il y a plutôt un an. J'avais étudié le français il y a quelques années au lycée mais j'ai tout oublié. Au début, ça m'a paru très difficile. Puis, j'ai réalisé que ça n'était pas vrai car il y a beaucoup de similitudes avec l'espagnol puisque c'est une langue romane aussi. En ce moment, je peux voir mon progrès.
Il y a beaucoup de mots espagnols et anglais similaires. Ça m'a aidé à améliorer mon apprentissage plus vite. Je pense que j'ai un niveau intermédiaire ( B1+ -B2) pour le moment. Pas aussi avancé que mon anglais, mais il me permet de communiquer bien. Au moins, je peux dire ce que je pense à chaque moment, malgré mes limites. Mon anglais est déjà avancé et je peux déjà le parler couramment. Je suis très heureux de ça. En plus, je vais avoir plus de temps pour étudier le français sérieusement. Ma longue préférée sans aucun doute. J'ai l'intention de parler parfaitement cette langue à l'avenir en plus de ma langue maternelle et l'anglais. Elles seront très utiles pour moi. D'un autre côté, je sais que la préparation sera longue, mais c'est mon but principal. Peu import.
J'aimerais apprendre le russe aussi parce que j'adore la Russe, c'est à dire, c'est mon pays préféré et j'ai envie de la visiter bientôt. J'aime aussi l'apprentissage des langues étrangères parce que c'est une de mes passions. J'ai toujours rêvé de parler d'autres langues depuis que j'étais un petit garçon. Un de mes rêves est chaque jour un petit peu plus proche. Mon français est en train de s'améliorer progressivement. C'est un bon signe pour moi sans doute. Au moins, je crois que oui.
À mon avis, il ne faut pas abandonner nos rêves. Nous pouvons les réaliser, bien sûr. Il suffit seulement d'un peu d'effort. J'espère que je ne ferai pas beaucoup des erreurs. Bon courage avec vos langues.
À bientôt !

Pourquoi est-ce que vous étudiez le français?
Salut!
J'étudie le français pour deux raisons. D'abord parce que le fait d'avoir une langue seconde m'aidera à trouver un meilleur emploi et deuxièment parce que j'aime cette langue. Cette langue est semblable à l'espagnol, il est donc plus facile pour moi. La langue française est très unique. C'est une langue amusante mais aussi difficile pour certaines personnes. Je crois que le français devient de plus en plus populaire dans le monde. De l'autre côté, le français est la langue de l'amour, non? :p
Et toi? Que pensez-vous de cette langue?
Au revoir et bon français!

Exercise for a writing formal letter.
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am writing in response to your letter. First of all I would like to thank you for the detailed information which you have given me. Of course, I am sure that I will have a good time with all my friends and we will all enjoy our stay there. That stay will help us to improve our English level a lot. We have decided to spend our stay individually with local families because in this way we can learn more about their cultures, their lifestyles, make new friends and at the same time we improve our English skills. It is a good choice and a great oportunity, we think so.
Secondly I am going to answer your following doubt. Therefore I am going to say to you something about my group for you can organise activities to enjoy our leisure time. We really into sports like football, cycling, running, swimming and all sort of outdoor sports so you can plan something related to this kind of sports. We would be sincerely grateful if you could also give us further information about this topic.
Moreover, I would also ask you about the weather. I guess the weather will be good during our stay there but I would be more confident if you could confirm it. Finally, I would like to know if we can take pets with us or whether it will not allowed. We love animals, besides we have pets and we need to look after them. That is all for now. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Many thanks in advance.
Yours faithfully,
David

First Certificate exam. English-Spanish version xD
Hi there! I'm preparing this exam with the aid of an academy and I gonna take it in December to try accredit level B2 of english in Europe and I would like to know if somebody has taken this exam here in Italki.
The exam is splitted in five pieces: "Reading", "writing"," use of English", "listening" and "speaking". For me the worse part is "listening" whereas "reading" is the easiest part. Speaking is difficult too, you know, I'm feel a little bit ridiculous when I'm talking with somebody haha. I listen to a lot English on podcasts, radio, films, etc, but it's quite hard for me to think from Spanish to English. My brain doesn't assimilate English sounds so fast. What disaster!
Another thing which it's difficult for me are the phrasal verbs. They are horrible to memorise! There are thousand of them. They are like a nightmare... OMG! Could anyone give me any advise for the exam?Just If you have already taken this exam. Have you passed it? :)
I have only two month to study it and I have to improve my English level a lot. I expect to pass it and so to start to prepare the advance level (C1) soon. It's mandatory for my professional progress have a high level of English. Thanks for reading! ;)
Now, I gonna write the same in Spanish for whoever are studying Spanish xD
¡Hola! estoy preparando este examen con la ayuda de una academia y voy a tomarlo en Diciembre para intentar acreditar el nivel B2 de inglés en Europa y me gustaría saber si alguien ha hecho este examen aquí en Italki.
Este examen se divide en cinco partes. Reading, writing, use of english, listening and speaking. Para mí la peor parte es el listening mientras que el reading es la parte más fácil. Speaking es difícil también, me siento un poquito ridículo cuando estoy hablando con alguien jaja. Escucho mucho inglés en podcasts, radio, películas, etc pero es difícil para mí pensar de español a inglés. Mi cerebro no asimila los sonidos del inglés tan rápido. ¡Qué desastre!
Otra cosa que es difícil para mí son los phrasal verbs. ¡Son horribles de memorizar! Hay miles de ellos. Son como una pesadila.... ¡Díos mío! ¿Podría alguien darme algún consejo para el examen? Sólo si ya has realizado éste examen. ¿Lo has aprobado? :)
Tengo sólo dos meses para estudiarlo y tengo que mejorar mi nivel de inglés un montón. Espero aprobarlo y así empezar a preparar el nivel avanzado (C1) pronto. Es obligatorio para mi progreso profesional tener un alto nivel de inglés. ¡Gracias por leer! ;)
