Picture description [Present Continuous] Mike and Sarah are in a hike. Sarah and Mike are friends. It is weekend so they are on their way to mountains. Sara is tired a little bit. So they are having a rest after long way. Mike and Sara are sitting on the ground because it is summer so it is hot and ground is warm. Mike is talking to Sara funny story. She is laughing because she likes to his stories Sara is hungry a little bit so she is eating an apple. And Mike is thirsty. He is drinking water. Their back-bags are lying near them. Mike's back-bag is blue with white and his bag is heavy. And Sara's back-bag is green with gray and her bag is light. There are many stones (rocks) on the road but it is not a problem, because friends have good hiking boots. There is very hot and dry summer. So green is transforming to deadwood(straw, hay). Sun is shining so all animals (birds, insects and snakes) are hiding in the shadow. There is very quiet, this reason. After rest friends will go to the peak of mountains and they will have good rest under opened and clear sky. They will be looking at stars and dreaming about future. :)

A small poem. :) I'm reading а book, And the book make me sad, Because meaning of many sentences I do not understand. And I'm learning and trying And I'm doing my best... When I will know English I'll have fun and a rest. This small poem appeared in my head when I read a book in English. When I meet new word I should go to the dictionary(or to the google translate :)) again, again and again. It's very annoying me. :) And when there are a lot of new words in a sentence, I just lose meaning of it. So I spend a lot time for translation with right understanding. But other side of the medal, my vocabulary is filling very quick. So through short time I will not depend from the dictionary. And one more thing: It's my first poem in English. So do not judge me strictly. ;) Thank you for reading and corrections.

What about rope-jumping? Has anyone tried to jump with rope from rocks (rope-jumping)? What you think about it? Do you want to jump in future? I alread jumped here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR0PYV03b6M&feature=related and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbyR3fDiglw&feature=related And there are many places in the Crimea, where I want to jump.

About me and my work. About me and my work. I'm Andrei (or English version Andrew). I'm from Ukraine, and my home is in Simferopol. It's in the Crimea. I'm in the IT business. I'm a software developer in small, but very good company. I'm in charge of finding new solutions, research and testing new technology for futher integration in projects, discussing the software architecure and of course, implementing all customer requirements with help writing code. :) (I think there are a lot of mistakes in the pervious sentence:)) Our customers are from different countries including Europian countries, Ukraine, Russia, Indonesia, etc. My company is working in sphere high-load web oriented systems, banking and government information systems. Now I'm working in a big and interest project. I like my work and my profession and I'm happy that I'm working in this company. But enough about work. Let's saying about me. :) I'm crazy about computers and new technology, as any typical programmer/geek. I'm always interested in everything new. Most new information in IT-world is in English so I'm interested in learning English. I'm also keen on sports and cooking(and then eating:)) So my body always in good condition. Also my hobbies are riding bike, hiking, sometimes photo digital processing or drawing, writing small poems. Not so long ago I bout a guitar. So now I'm learning to play it. Oh, I have a cat. My cat's name is Shift :) It's not joke:) But about it I will write in other topic. Thank you for reading.

Is it right question? Englishmen, I need your help! :) Is it right question in next context? For example: I'm showing a photo to my friend. But I'm not shure that the man on the photo is my friend. And I'm asking my friend (I have two variants): - Is it you in the photo? or - Are you in the photo? or something else... Thank you, if you read this text and understand what I mean. :)
