My favourite actor I like a lot of different actors and actress, and it depends on movie. One actor that is my favourite for years is Ben Affleck. He is really talented actor, and he is also film director and producer. He has been in a lot of different kinds of films including historical, romantic and action adventurous. He gave a brilliant performance in "Pearl Harbour". I like "Jersey girl" where his screen couple was Jennifer Lopez. His film "Argo'' won the Oscar. I like his mime and gesticulation, and the way he talks, or smile in movies. Everything seems natural. When I see his movie starting it is not important if I have to study, sleep or do something else - I sit, watch and I don't blink at all. What is yours favourite actor/actress and why? :)

Chronically sleepy I can't sleep because of small irritating mosquitoes. They just can't content themselves with my blood. My skin is burning. Maybe it seems silly, but it is my biggest problem lately. :D (except driving lessons) =)

My achievements I had to write an essay about my achievements, but I don't like to talk about it myself. People should see it themselves, only then it would be real goal for me. I am not proud of my success in school or in English classes. I am proud of my ability to listen to people, to give an advice every time they need it. I am proud of my ability to be friend and to have friends. I am proud of any virtue I have because it makes me better person.

How can we get Beta points here?

I am bored, so I wrote a story. I will always remember the day I visited old house by the sea. I was walking trough the beach when I realized I went too far. I wanted to get back but than I saw an old house with broken windows and almost without roof. I came closer to the house and when I was sure it was empty I came into it.There was just one chair and a hand mirror on it. Spiders were everywhere , I saw rats too but I couldn't run - I could hardly move. Something strange was happening to me that I couldn't explain. I only heard the sea and the wind. I took the hand mirror and looked at it. At first I saw me, of course but then my face in the mirror was changing slowly. I saw in the mirror a woman different from me but in a strange way we were the same. The biggest difference was that she was much older. I was very scared, I dropped the mirror and run away. When I came near the cliffs I heard someone was calling my name, but the wind was strong and I couldn't here well. Then I saw an old man sitting on the rock. Something in his face made me trust him. I wasn't afraid anymore. I sat next to him. He wasn't surprised - like he was waiting for me. I told him what happened to me, he was listening but I had feeling he had already known everything. When I finished he told me a story about the women who was the most beautiful in that town. She fell in love in some young man who broke her heart because he saw only her beauty instand of her personality. He was just like the others. She left the town and for the rest of her life she had been living in small house by the sea with only one thing she hated the most. The thing that had been showing her why she lost her happiness. The mirror. But the story tells that there was one man who loved her, not only for her beauty. That man for the rest of his life had been sitting on the cllifs and crying for his lost love. What do you think?

Rain. Do you agree with me? I was going to the station from school when it started to rain. I was wet. My friends and I was running, we didn't have umbrellas. Than our bus broke down. Despite of this, we were smiling and laughing. So, its not important is it shining or raining, are we nervous or angry, are we get bad marks, is the bus late or we have to wait somewhere... Life is beautiful and we live only once. Because of that we should enjoy in every second. :) Please, correct mistakes. Tell me are you agree with me. :)
