Hi there Ellen. Is it your name or your pseudonym? I have got black and curly hair. I`m not tall, how tall are you? Yes, I am a good reader. I am very quite. I like all animals.
Hey! Do you like Avril Lavigne? Do you like Blink 182? Avril is vegan. I like vegan cook. I am a great kitchener. My favourite food is draw food. When the dishes are cooked for me, it is delicious, because I am passionate and sedate with my things.
Have you heard Gabriel García Márquez? He is an important journalist from Colombia. I don´t like so much him. What do you think about García Márquez?
My favourite composer is Wagner Richard. Do you like listen symphony music? And my favourite singer is Mercedes Sosa. Recently, I listened a good song, an English version of "Bella Ciao" (original in Italian); you can search in YouTube writing "Bella Ciao - (Englisch)". For my part I like listen more "Bella Ciao Originale" or an Spanish version of Manu Chao.
By-the-by,
Richard

Do you like its music?
Hey ellen, u know what I love music!!!!!! I've listened to all of the songs which you've mentioned in the comment.
Dear Ellen,
I have heard all singers, but I don´t like listening songs by they. Eurovision is little-known here, I read a news about Eurovision in a British newspaper, no more that.
The Colombian system education is very similar than Azaerbaijam. A curious fact is that here at the public universities there "hooded" people,they are related to the ultra-left groups, however they doesn´t dangerous.
Attentively, Richard.
i wake up at 5:00 am...... i hate waking up for school....!! :(
Hello Student11.

What do you like to make when you have free time?
What English songs do you like?
What about your country?
how old are you?
And movies? Please answer.....)))))
You new friend Ellen
Hi my new friend Ellen. What`s up?
Actually, I listen little songs in English. My musical tastes over the changes in recent years. I sometimes listen music by Tony Style, especially “Violins”. Either I recommend you an awesome song “All Outta Angst” – NOFX. If you like Beatles you should to listen a video from YouTube called “Estilo Bach con música de The Beatles.- Improvisaciones piano”. Look for the songs and tell me what do you think of them. In contrast I usually listen symphony music and folk music from all World in the nights. The music is an excellent therapy for the brain.
I hardly ever watch TV, but I lately I watched an interesting TV serie recorded in Britain: “The adventures of Merlin”. My favourite movie is “The lord of the rings”, in my country is popular the movies from Hollywood, I don`t like it. And Buster Keaton I think is the most filmmaker. I like go to art exhibitions.
I am an exceptional case inhabitan in Colombia. I`m very different from the Colombian culture, nevertheless I love live in Colombia.
What movie do you rate the best? Would you tell me a folk song from Azerbaijan?
Hugs.

Hello there Ellen,
Anna is Colombian, same that me. When I studied in the school, I wake up at 4:00 AM. Go to school at 5, and clases beging at 5:45. Is usually see there schedule cases in Colombian schools. Now I am a student of University and I get up at 5 AM. I must get up early, but I never wake up when the clock ring and always I arrive late.
Hugs. I will read your answer, Ellen.
Hi, Student11
It's very early. How can you make it on time? I'd find it very difficult, but I guess you got used. When do you go to bed? I guess you go early, to be able to get up. I have the same problem, I never get up at time, but somehow, I menage to arrive at time at school. I'm always in rush:).
Greetings from Serbia:)
Hey buddy Serbian. How is things?
I asked me the same question a few days ago. And my answer was "no more purposeless time". Really I do not have a consolidated habits. For example today, I get up at 2:10 AM (without clock`s alarm). I drink water and tea. I read a book. I have breakfast at 3 AM. I continue my homework (read books) at 3:10 to 5:49. I take a shower and go to University at 6:10.
Today was my first day in which I arrived early to class. I study, and study at 7 to 1 PM. I was reading in the Library at 1 to 7 PM. And now I am answering your question. What do you think? It is boring? I don´t know, I like study and have hard work.
I don´t like when my days are "strict daily routine". I recommend you devote oneself in one only issue in long time.
Have a nice life!
Hey, Student11
Thanks for your reply. I don't think it's boring, on the contrary, it's very useful. I'm like you, I'm very diligent and I like to dedicate myself completely to studying. It's hard, but gives great results. I agree with you, I don't like strict daily routine too, and I always try to do something different every day.
Best wishes:)
What`s up? Are you Okay? I hope so. My fellow
I have good news for you. Yesterday I thought in your question. I analysed the people`s behaviour in the library, when they study. I discovered that people eat “hard food”, see e.g. the people lunch`s lunch eat eggs, rice, chickens (my friends), orange juice, and so on. It is intolerable in our digestion. The draw food, I guess is the best diet for all people, particularly in students. Nuts, water, fruits, vegetables draw, and so on; it food is super energy to human. In the week I have a diet for this style, consequences about my resilience, my concentration, my health’s status is very good. While “hard food” consumer I view exhausted, unhappy. Yesterday I study in the library from 9:30 AM to 8 PM with a break for eat nuts and apples and inhale fresh air, my dinner weren´t food draw, the vegetables cooked composed of the dish.
Yesterday, I started the exemplar “Great expectations” by C. Dickens, blessings for your recommendation. Thank you, read the guilty story of Pip is a brilliant decision. And I support when you study, you don`t wear warm clothes. You attempt there and your body answers with a briskness mental activity.
What do you think? It is an awesome or poor idea?
Ta-ta for now. Dickens would say "That`s all for now, old chap".
Hi, Student11
I'm OK, thanks:). I agree with you about food you've mentioned. I eat nuts and apples almost every day, it can really boost your memory. Hard food like eggs, meat and sweets is really bad for our concentration.
Great expectations is an amazing book, as well as Charles Dickens. I'm glad you like it.
Yes, I agree, wearing warm clothes isn't recommendable while studying, you're completely right.
Buy, buy:)

Hi MikadoRyugamine! Why does school start so early? Is that the normal starting time in your country? I hope at least you finish a bit earlier too, otherwise that's a very long school day.

My school stars at the same time as yours. But I live not far from school so I usually wake up at 6:30 and still can handle to get there on time!
