English

Life

I've had one those stange days today. When you wake up facing challenges) When everyone disapproves of your deeds and aspirations... beginning with your daughter, ending up with your colleagues. Still life is too short to let it flow like this. Being moody all the time. I feel everything is in power of those who believe. I have the strenth to to learn anything I want to and I would! Moreover, I'd teach my daughter more then I've learned. I feel I'd like to live in a warmer country.

My last vacations

I went to the beach two weaks algo with my sister.That beach is called "Bahía Ballena" which is located in Uvita in the south of town. I ate a lot of fish which tasted delicious. I enjoyed that trip because I relaxed for a while. On the other hand, If you visited Costa Rica I would recomend that beach not only because of the view also during the months of May to December you could see whales. Besides you could swimm and snorckel at the beach.

Is the book dead?

According to the new information society, the book, as an object, could be dead. The sales of electronics readers has increased in the last five years. Most of the readers think that electronic readers (ebooks) are more comfortable to use than the traditional paper format, although, for books lovers, the book is a magic object not only to read, but also to have and to protect. The thing is that ebooks are more practical than books in many ways.

DOWNTON ABBEY

I discovered Downton Abbey looking for a tv series that could help me to improve my English. The reason why I chose D.A. is for its typical british environment after Victorian age and for the “understandable” English accent of their characters.

some questions about The Book Thief

Hi,I am reading  The Book Thief. I have questions about several sentences in this novel. Could you help me understand them?Thanks for any replies.

1.I‘m nothing if not fair.

   This is what the Death says about himself in the beginning of The Book Thief. I can’t understand the meaning of “if not fair”. Does it mean that someone‘s remarks are roughly correct if not accurate?
