why I like Poznań

I am from a little village in mazowieckie, really close to the capital of Poland, Warsaw – the city of the greatest university, of a huge number of places where students can spend some time. In Warsaw there are also so many interesting events, a lot of foreigner and of course polish people from whole Poland. The city is alive all the time. There are so many popular places, musicians, actors, politicians. All the people know Warsaw. It’s the biggest city in Poland. Warsaw is like a dream for some students or even for the rest, because there is always a work to find. For me it could be the best choice, because I have only an hour of journey from my home to Warsaw. To Poznań it takes a little bit longer – 5 hours. So what am I doing here?

 I never thought that one day I could live in Poznań. In secondary school I really liked the books series called “Jeżycjada” which is wrote by Małgorzata Musierowicz. The action of this book takes place in Poznań and I was so excited, I fell in love with Poznań even when I never was there. But I always heard “blah blah when you will start your study in WARSAW the world will be different” or “You must study in Warsaw because there are so many members of our family”. I said no, but in high school I was sure to study in this awful city. But I started to watch the videos, photos from Poznań and I read a blog the girl from here. I was a little bit obsessed about this city. I had to study here. And here I am. '

Why I like Poznań? First thing it is the people living here. I think they are the most polite people in whole Poland, seriously. They smile to me in the shop, they are always helpful when I ask them. In Warsaw people are always frustrated and angry, they don’t want to talk with others and they also think that they are the best in Poland, I suppose. Here, Live is calmer I think than in Warsaw. I like it soooo much, because I can’t stand to run every day, every hour and everywhere. At the end, I think that Poznań is the most beautiful city in Poland. Every day I take the tram, I look through the window and I say to myself “good choice”.

My favourite music band

A long, long time ago when I was looking for my kind of music I was listening to almost everything. Then one day a friend of mine showed me one song telling me "it is not bad".  I listened to it once, twice, thrice and then I knew that I need more of their masterpieces. And this way this band is with me since times of secondary school untill now.

This is exactly that song. My heart belongs to Happysad.

I won't bore you with their history etc. because I never really felt it is important, also you could simply find it in wikipedia if you really intrested in it. For me the most important thing is music. I listen to their tracks everyday and I know every single song, heard them countless times in my head and still I'm not bored with them. I never feel in so deep love with any other band.

 But what is their music about? They play alternative rock and sing in majority about love and other emotions. I love the words they use, the ideas of every song and actually that they remain simple. I always find approportiate song to the state of my feelings. So I was crying with them, I was sad and other times smiling and happy. I danced with them, had them during long walks and journeys, they accompanied me during important moments in my life. They always made me to think about my life and things happening around me. The only thing I didn't experienced yet is their concert, but hopefully it is going to change soon as they are coming to Poznań in June :)

And here is one of my favorite songs:

cows cows cows!

Cows cows cows - in other words life in countryside. We all know that life in a village is different than the one in the city. But most of us don't really know how it looks like. I was born in really small village and lived whole 19 years there, so i'm going to say a little bit about this.

First major difference is the cycle of a week. People are used to five days of work, a weekend and sometimes holidays. But in village you will never get the meaning of a free day - jobs are waiting everyday and for example you can't say to the animals that you are tired and won't feed them or milk the cows. The day starts at 6 AM and lasts around 12 hours with only a few moments to take a breath. Be prepared for endless hard-working. And you think bad weather or coming Christmas will change it? Nope, it will only give more problems.

And what offers repertoire? Some of them are seasonal like hay-making, potato-lifting, harvest, sowing and others. Most of them are in summer (good bye summer holidays), and only few in winter (preparing food for animals, there is no grass so it requires much more effort). And some of them are alywas - preparing food for animals that can't eat on a grassland, cleaning after them, sometimes taking care of birth of new animal.

my village

 Even if there is always something to do living here isn't bad. The life is slow-pieced - unlike in a city you don't need to run for a tram, worry that you are late to class room or work you simply do things without hesitation. Also everyone knows everyone and help each other, there is no rivalisation but also no anonymity. Even the air is much more different than the one in the city. There is no noise of civilization. You always have food because you produce it. You can simply sit in the bosom of nature and enjoy it :)

another viewpoint

another way to learn english

This time I want to tell you something about learning english without feeling bored (however it's impossible to feel bored during learning english). But when you can't stand workbooks and too many vocabulary to learn, but you still don't know how to pronounce "thought" (like me), there is help on YouTube. I want to

recommend one channel on YouTube called "Po cudzemu" which is made by Arlena Witt. And here, one of her first video:

Arelna Witt shows us that we are not as good as we were thinking and simple words can be a little bit harder. She also talk about how to learn another language, how to don't be afraid in speaking english. She has so many diffrent expamples (in songs, in films, in TV series) with using the word she's talking about. I think that thanks to her we can easier remember how to pronounce difficult words. 

ENJOY :)

my favourite english book

I would like to say something about my favourite english book. It is the greatest story I have ever been reading. It was when I was child, I went to the library and I saw this book. I had to take it. I fell in love after 5 pages. What is the title of this fantastic book? HARRY POTTER of course.

Harry Potter is known by everybody, I suppose. But I am going to say something about this series.
Harry Potter is the boy who comes from the family of magicians, but his parents are dead and he's living with his uncle and aunt. He has difficult life, but one day he receive a letter from the school of magic, from Hogwart. And here the adventure begins. Harry met Hermiona Granger and Ronald Weasly. They are friends who fight against the black magic - the bad kind of magic and also against bad people.

Why I love Harry Potter? Because of all those things which are told to young people. J. K. Rowling, the author of the series, wants to tell us what is important in life. Friendship - thanks to that, we can do everything and we are happy, because there is always somebody who can help us. This book also shows us, how to be a good person, how to live with other people and primarily that good always wins over evil. Harry Potter is also very interesting and for children who belive in magic, it's a very good book.
