Everybody knows, that every generation is different it's not better or not worse. It's just different. Every generation have good and bad things. Our generation, generation from 21-h century are based on computers. Everybody, every child, every pupil knows how to use computers, laptops, chatting, to speak on Skype. Our older generation doesn’t use a lot of technique. Older generation use more post to write a letters and not e-mails. It's the same story with a cell phones, 

even children under 10 using cell phones just as I-Phones, I-Pads also Mp3- Players to listening to music.

 In contrast to our generation, the best quality of our older generation is, that they can respect others. They make a good 

relationships with friends with neighbors too. Although they don't like any change in their live, they don't listening for their

 parents. It's a lot of different between older and younger generation. But they have a similar ways in which are both generation are similar, for example they have the same school-system: kindergarden- high school- university. But I think, that our generation is much luckier than our parents, because we have more chance to have all what we want. People from the past ages try to save a traditions yet. Finally , oder  generation prefer to wear a formal clothes rather than put on half-naked clothes. However in capitalist times they couldn't study abroad or to have with 18 years a own apartment. But as Shakespeare said: "Only boring people get bored"

Native language and the second language

How are they alike?
My first language is German and the second language is English.
I will show how is English and German alike:
Nouns  and verbs are quite similar in German and English. The German alphabet contains the same 26 letters as the English alphabet. English and German both belong to the Germanic area. This two languages comes from  Indo-European language family. German and English share many words: Winter/winter, Haus/house, trinken/drink, 
How are they different?German does not have a continuous tense form, nouns in German are capitalized, which often leads to students writing English nouns with capital letters..Although the sounds are often similar or the same.However, they look more similar when written down than they sound when spoken, because the German.  In the fact  English is a softer sounding language.
It's a lot of things, why it's more difficult to learn a second language.In contrast to second language, the first language I learned in surrounded by people who spoke my native language, also I learned 6 years to learn, how to speak my native language.Differently to learn a second language more difficult, because I read for fun or for information in my native language.

A good friend has four important qualities.

A good friensd is fun, unique and interesting.
It's very important, that your friends tell you just a true storys.
A good friends is the friends you can trust. They won't try to steal your girlfriend or boyfriend, your job or your personality. Also, a good friend will stay with you in good times and bad. It's means, that they are also patient with you when you make mistakes. So, the best friends will know what makes you happy  and will help you become the person what you want to be.

My trip to Spain!

Intermediate1 Reading and Writing.


Last year I was in Spain. It's a another hemisphere. About 15.000 km from USA. Our expedition began at 12 a.m in an  airport, in Alicante. It was July and temperature  was about 40 grad. Later we checked in our house. Interior of this house was beautiful, near the beach, 7 rooms, swimming pool, gym and garden. Spain is a huge country with a lot of entertainment, nice places. So we visited famous places.Valencia , about 2 hours in the north of Alicante, a place to visit if you are around the Costa Blanca. Valencia is very 
well known for its Fallas. We were 10 Person  and stay 10 days there. Spain giving you a great place to explore on holiday, so we rent a car and visited 5 famous places around Alicante. We rode about borders. We drow from south to north. Every day we returns home at 3 a.m or 5 p.m and woke up at 8 a.m or 9 a.m. We went to Madrid. Madrid  is somewhat different than the others states we visited; for one it's the one of the largest and most populated states in Spain, and also they have a very big museum, national parks. I like trying new food and drinks. So, one of the first drinks I tried in Span  was Non-Alcohol wine. Some people may like it, but i thought it was pretty nasty. This  drink, made from bitter oranges and grapes. With so many interesting places to discover, a car hire in Spain is the recommended and most cost effective transport option.Also Spain has been secret and mysterious places. It is also a historic Mediteranien  port. People are very nice and friendly, they invited you to them. We went to the festival.  This is followed a week later by seven nights of firework. It was really nice trip!
I like this country!

 

My dad, is a person, who made a difference in my life!

I'm very glad, to have a dad, who made a difference in my life. He is very quiet person. He never screams or says, what I have to do. He said, that he is proud of me, and it motivates me, to be decent, to learn and to do something, what can make him happy. I was 14 years old, it's a very difficult time for children, because it's  puberty. Children want do to in this period all what can bring problems, maybe try a cigarettes or alcohol. My dad said to me :'Jane, I wouldn't say you, what do you have to do, I know, you are clever, you can do everything, but please, before you doing something, think about, maybe you will pity about a situation". For me...with 14 years it's was like magic, because after his speech, I wanted nothing more, because I knew, that I may. It's a law of nature, if you may, you do not want to do it. It's very important who are your parents, because each apple from the tree does not fall far. Nothing is so important, as your family.
I'm 22 now, my best friend is my dad. Because I know, I can trust him, and he wouldn't say, what I have to do,he would give me  advice. And of course, I want a husband like my dad, as each girl :)
