Band of Brothers (HBO series)

Band of brothers, HBO series, have you ever watched this seriers? I like it so much cause' it describes we paratrooper soooo well. "We are paratroopers and we are supposed to be sorrounded by the enemy." A great officer in the film said to others. It is soooooooooo hard to be a great paratrooper, and i am not qualifed for this job. >_<

It is a great series which let me know more about the front line, how the paratroopers fight with their enemy, and how terrified and cruel the war is.....You will admire the paratrooper more after watching it. We can't have this peaceful life without their sarcrifice. If you have time, go to watch it.

Learning English

There are many ways to practice English everyday, and the first thing is to practice everyday. Learning English is a task forever because language is always evolving.

I start the day watching international news on a chanel in English like Fox news.

Another daily activity of mine is reading books, novels. Now I am reading the fourth book written by Dan Brown called "Deception Point". The plot is very different from the other novels. It is based on the discovery of a Martian rock in the Artic. Inside the rock are supossedly microscopic life forms from Mars.

And finally, writing mail or posts like this one that I am writing now is another way to put in words your knowledge about English. We don't be worried about mistakes, the important is to learn from them and keep on practicing.

That's the secret! practice.

the da vinci code


I remember that i had watched a film about whether Jesus was human or not several years ago. The main charactors found Jesus' bones but a christian destroyed it at last. This christian used bomb to destroy himself and these bones and the truth was buried again in the deep earth. "You don't know how this truth will affect other christian." That christian told the main charactor before he went die.

This novel reminded me of this film, but i don't know what the name of this film is. However, it impressed me so much. I can't imagine what it will hapen if this kind of truth is really true and uncovered to all our humen. The world will probably be in chaos, i think to myself.

The da vinci code is very interesting fiction. The stroy began from the death of Jacques Sauniere, a renowned curator. This great man own some secrets but designed a lot of codes for the main charactors to break. The interesting part of this novel is about the well-designed codes, but how will the main charactor break them? I will go to find out them by myself.

I am now in the half of my davinci code reading and i have read a lot of complicated things in the novel, like Fibonacci's famous sequence and the divine proportion. Also, there are a lot of french in this novel. It is kind of challenging but i still enjoy reading this novel. Ok, i will share more with you later, take care. ^^

Reading

Reading in English is one of my favorite hobbies. It helps me to improve my vocabulary, and it keeps my mind active.
I began readings magazines a number of years ago -there was not Internet!-
And now I am reading books since two or three years. At the begining of this year I started reading the first four books of Harry Potter. I bought the US edition. The original books are written in British English. I recommend to read them. Although it is a book for kids or teens I enjoyed reading these books.
