Mistakes I have just read some writing in italian to correct them. I think that was very complicate. Italian is my language and I speak properly because of my good education. I usually read also a lot, so it's not so difficult to find mistakes. The hardest job is to find the right meaning of the tenses for a good interpretation.When we write we try to do big phrases with a lot of adjectives. It sounds great, it means that our vocabulary is every time bigger than before, but we use it in the wrong way. Sometimes it seems arrogant. I mean is impossible speak as a native. I can't do it because I don't grow up and live in UK, so I miss a lot of common expressions. Perhaps sometimes we know grammar better than a native speaker, but we use worse. At the beginning if we aren't confident with the language is better to do short writing so it is easier for us and for the person who correct it. Do you know what I mean? Have a good Sunday!

Wasting time I met a men three weeks ago for a conversation exchange. At the beginner I was a little scared to meet someone that I don't know, moreover because he was a male. At the end when I met him I tried to go over my reasons and we started our conversation. He's from England, younger than me, and very smart. Is he handsome? Yes, he is. The first meeting was pretty good. We also laugh a lot. He's a well mix of serious and funny. We met again 2 weeks ago and i don't know why but then he disappear for a while. I'm not interesting in nothing else that is not correlated with my English improvement so I didn't care. On Friday he call me and write me as he never have a possibility to see me again. It was his birthday and he invited me for a drink with a few friends. We spent a beautiful time together drinking, speaking, dancing and... At the end he disappear another time. I don't want to call him. He knows how can he find me. But the problem is not him, is the wasting time. I don't like to change my schedule every time. I take seriously English and I need a partner for conversations. I have to pass over and find someone who is really interesting in learning languages. I will find this person!

Monday morning Today was a strange day. I was so tired that I woke up later and arrived at work just in time. My professor who is usually kind this morning was nervous, perhaps for other kind of problems. So nervous that he was angry also with me. Of course I made some mistakes, but I'm learning... I'm in a training program, obviously I make mistakes. It was frustrating. At 14 I've eaten yet and I Was so hungry! At 15:00 I was tired as I worked in a 24 hour shift. As soon as I could I went to the bar and I ate a lot of things that I must avoid for my diet. At 15:30 I met a girl for a conversation exchange in English and I was so exhausted that our speaking was awful, so boring! I think I'll never meet her again. To be honestly neither I would like to speak with myself like today! I came back home with a lot of ideas for the evening and I'm now on the sofa doing nothing... I don't like this Monday!

At work I'm working right now. Fortunately my patients are quite good so I'm in my room reading a book and listening to music. Now I'm listening to "betterman", one of my favorite pearl jam's songs. Finally my English improves enough to understand the song and I rarely search for translation of the song. It's impressive how can I do now. It's easier also doing conversation, reading books and watching movies in English. I have studied hard for this. Yesterday I spoke with a friend and I think that I can try to watch a movie at the cinema in original version. I don't know why but Italy is usually to do dubbing of all movies, it's nice to understand all the dialogues, but we don't know the actors' voices for example. It sounds strange. Maybe I will organize soon for a cinema!

Housework Today it's a beautiful autumnal day in Rome. There's the sun! Finally! I did a long walk through the center and then I came back home and now it's time of do the housework. Tomorrow afternoon my father will come to my house to visit me and my sister. All have to be perfect because he is the mum's spy :-) I think that I will start cleaning the bathroom. Better do bad and heavy things at the start and leave the other things for later. I don't like to do housework. I'm a good cook, but for other things in my house I do because I have to. Also I need to reorganize the wardrobe because the winter is coming and I have to put off summer clothes. A very hard work reorganized the wardrobe! I hope to finish this evening!

Conversation I had always been fascinated by English. I never studied as I wanted and now I'm studyng this language in an adul age with lots of difficulties. I need also to improve it quickly because of job, so I decided to do some conversation exchange with mothertongue. It's a beautiful experience to meet new people. I'm shy and reserved, but the need wins to my emotions. This evening I met a guy who is studyng here in Rome to become a priest. We have a dinner together and we spoke a lot. He seemed friendly and good tempered. Like all Irish people that I met he loves drink wine or other alcoholic drinks but they become funny when drink. It will be nice to meet him again.

A cake This afternoon at my parents's house we ate a wonderful cake. On 10th November was my sister's birthday. We live together in Rome, not far away to the city where my parents live. So on Monday we didn't do a party with them. This morning I bought a beautiful cake in the best patisserie nearby my house. I ordered it yestarday because I wanted the writing "Auguri Veronica" on this. The cake was with Nutella and chantilly cream, there was little roses around and my sister was very happy to received it. I'm on diet, but instead of I ate it. I do more exercises tomorrow because today is the Veronica's cake day! :-)

Come back early Today I work less than usually. My professor was busy in the afternoon so I had to work only in the morning for a few hours. It was perfect because I don't feel good today. I think I have a cold and the flu is arriving. So now I'm watching a movie on my sofa and soon I will have my lunch. I'm preparing pasta all'arrabbiata e some vegetables. Then I will take a coffee made with Moka. In the afternoon I'm going to the gym and in the evening I'm going to the cinema with my sister and some friends. We don't decide for the movie, maybe we will choose directly at the cinema. I would love to see "guardians of the Galaxy". I think I will see something boring or anxious because they love dramatic or crime. Crossed fingers!

An unusual tuesday Today I woke very late at 13:15 and got up at 13:45. I was exhausted! I worked to much last days that I had to rest. I had a shower and then I had my breakfast. At 15 I ate a snack and I went out to plaza del popolo to meet a friend for a conversation exchange. We spoke 50-50 English-Italian and it was good. I think it is very useful doing conversation face to face to improve our knowledge of a language. Of course writing exercise are excellent way to polish my English and watching movies, listening to music and reading books are good. But if you want to become fluent is necessary speak with someone. She's very nice person and it was a pleasure to meet her and spoke together. If is possible we will meet again next week to practice more and again. I hope it will help both of us!
