For 2021
By: Giacomo Zivieri
Tags: Self Improvement, Todo, 2021

Despite all, 2020 was a great year for me.

I feel like I’ve changed for the better: I’ve got back to a happy state of mind and I’ve restored my self-confidence.

When everything is going well, like now, it’s easy to think that everything will keep going well.

To achieve this desire I know I should keep improving myself.

Therefore, I’ve made two short lists: one for the things I learned and one for the goal I should set

The main learning from 2020:

It all depends on how you take it and you can decide how to take it based on what you decide. Being happy is mostly a choice

I need to fully accept myself in my imperfections while working to improve. And working constantly is often the only real way to improve.

Sports help me stay balanced and give me a lot of energy. Furthermore, it is a way to redeem myself from insecurities and to switch my self inflicted “suffering” from a mental to a physical level.

To be successful, and more generally to feel self-satisfied, you need to make choices. Sometimes you will be wrong. Being able to fail in front of other people and to get up is more important than winning per se.

Considering my curiosity, the most crucial decision I have to make is what NOT to pay attention to. Also, on many things, I’m too much of a perfectionist, while I need to be less specific but faster.

I’m not as smart as I think, and even when I have good points, I tend to be so unnecessarily long and imprecise.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

My name is Junki Kamiguchi.

I love sauna, Finland and coffee. I also like records these days.

Thank you for coming to my page that is so small and narrow.

I’m just getting started English, so sometimes it’s may be offensive for you.

But I will do my best. Please let me know If there is any wrong expression.

In this web site “Medium”, I write about sauna, Finland, and any others.

There are 3 reasons why I started this “Medium”.

First, I wanna spread about goodness of the sauna.

Next, I wanna improve my English.

Finally, I wanna know myself.

I think you couldn’t understand what I said in this sentence,

I will explain about these 3 reasons in more detail next time.

So, I hope you remember at least that “a Japanese sauna crazy” appeared.

Thank you for reading. Kiitos!

Meeting a new Person!
By: Oumaima Oya
Tags: Poem, Life, Love, Poetry, English

By Me: Çengelköy Üsküdar/Istanbul, Turquie

Take a deep breath, think of a good opening, and go talk to the person! It doesn’t have to be like pulling teeth. Begin with small talk, ask authentic questions, and let the conversation naturally bloom into something interesting.

Don’t you ever overthink it. A simple “Hello, how are you?”

Make sure that you’re friendly, and are genuinely interested to know new people so never hesitate to say a very big Hi; Selam and Merhaba.

KISS: Keep It Stupid and Simple. For me, I adore talking to new people specially people who share the same interests as me like teaching, reading, writing and singing…Ahhhh! Life ;)

To be honest, when I meet someone whom I feel comfortable to talk with and share with my stories and experiences; I go bananas ( Going bananas means going crazy, becoming insane, in a positive way. )

Today, I have talked to a person. He is very nice and respectful, he is very cultivated and the most important thing ; he does write which made me happier once I heard it. So, we had a very nice talk together and we’ve shared so many meaningful things; some talkings about reading, favorite books and writing. This day will stick in my memory because I have enjoyed our simple conversation. I wish to meet as such people everyday, so I can learn from.

I am a very plain person who does really like to share and does really care, I try to be humble as much as possible so I can learn and grow. I believe, In this life there are two kinds of people who do not learn: shy and arrogant people.

I thank dear Allah, I meet people who inspire, encourage and lead me to the exact, exciting and wonderful path. But, the most important thing in this life is Tolerance.

Tolerance should, strictly speaking, be only a passing mood; it ought to lead to acknowledgment and appreciation.

My plain poetry for today; challenge accepted (Oscar) ;)

Be the change be the spark you’re a candle, no more dark Don’t pretend to be anyone You are already someone Search the light not at night Be the star but not the sun Dream big and have fun It is just a click for the call Have a big appetite to eat it all True, he is new Nice but from few Who cares! He brings a smile It’s beautiful to stay in a while And let the road drives for a mile It starts with a dry flame As poets claim Ends with a fire to pull you higher
A lesson that I’ve learned the hard way.
By: Rajiv Nair
Tags: Mastery, Writing, Learning, Lessons Learned, English

Photo by Buse Doga Ay on Unsplash

Life is always about learning things and moving forward but a few lessons stick with you pretty much all your life ever since you’ve been forced to inculcate them in your life.

One lesson that I’ve learnt and the one that has most benefitted me in my life is my involuntary effort to be good at my English, be it reading, writing or speaking the language, I’ve learnt it after I’ve been stuck by a mini-blow that made me realize that I was pretty bad at the language although I was acquiring knowledge about the language since I was in my kindergarten.

I had been to a student-run organisation’s recruitment for new volunteers and there it was required to go through a set of personal interviews and group discussions. Me being a reserved guy can’t really step up my game and start speaking out and that too with people I barely know and I didn’t really perform well in the group discussion. I wasn’t selected and got home dejected but the real issue arose when my parents questioned why I wasn’t selected and when I told them that it was because of the group discussion they were like what English did you learn if you cannot even do well in a GD.

I was distraught and since then I was just curious about my vocabulary and started reading more at that point and improved a bit in my reading, writing and listening skills. My speaking skills are very good for a one-one conversation but I’m not sure if I can do well in GD coz I haven’t really given any other attempts at group discussions.

I improved my English skills by reading a lot online and trying to correct myself at every given opportunity. I started blogging and I figured out that I could notice mistakes in my writing and the more I wrote, the more I became better at it because I self-censor what I write and that helped me to ensure that there are very few to zero mistakes in whatever I write. It wasn’t easy but the zeal or the intensity to get better in the language had pushed me to whatever I am today.

I’m no good yet, and my vocabulary is elementary and not impactful, but I’m still learning, and I will continue to do so until I possibly can because you can never become a pro in a language or life. I will try to read more this year and write more and more whatever be it the topic but just to enhance my skills as a writer.

Fingers crossed.

I guess this is my biggest and most beneficial lesson learnt through the hard way and I hope I never forget the reason coz if that hadn’t happened I wouldn’t have become this proficient in what I do and I’m certain that more than half of my peers have never tried nor could become what I’ve become for that silly reason.

Conditional sentences即係條件句，亦即係If…嘅句式。建議唔好一次過學哂啲句式，每次兩個兩個咁比較吓分別去學會易掌捱啲。

中文：如果你唔完成份功課，你就要留堂做咗佢。

English: If you do not finish the homework, you will need to stay behind to finish it.

只要知道兩隻字就可以快速掌握用法：HOW （點樣用）+ WHEN（幾時用）。基本上就係想講如果喺某啲情況/條件（condition)下，將會發生啲咩事？

How to Write a Good Article for the CPE Exam.
By: Jack Kaczmarek
Tags: Article Writing, Writing, Cpe Exam, Proficiency English, English

My article

“Why the planet won’t thank you for getting rid of electricity”.

For many years, people have been coming up with new ideas to combat climate change. Recently a new concept has emerged that advocates the stoping the use of electricity altogether. Doing so in my eyes is not an ineffective solution to the problem of rising temperatures on earth, but will only make our lives unnecessarily more difficult. Supporters of this idea often make a point that compromises have to be made to contribute to a greater cause. Perish the thought! Electricity is indeed something that is often taken for granted. Not so long ago, people did not rely on electricity and could not even imagine how much easier life could be like. I believe electricity is one of the better inventions of humankind, therefore it cannot be taken away from us. What we should do, however, is to impose new, stricter regulations on large corporations, which are the true reason behind the growing climate change crisis.

You may, dear reader, be wondering what life without electricity would be like and it is not quite as difficult to imagine as it may first seem. Candles instead of lights, a fireplace instead of electric stoves, no heated water, a typewriter instead of a laptop… Upon quick retrospection, it is apparent that today’s world relies on electricity. In fact, throughout most of history, people had to go without it as they had no choice. If it had not been for this invention, the pace of innovation would not be as fast as today. Electricity enabled us to be more independent of environmental factors, such as the sun or climate.

The benefits of electricity are indisputable, and it must be established, that although you may want to stop climate change, cutting off electricity is not a viable solution. Instead, we should focus on regulating the ones on the top, who impose such useless ideas to hide the actual cause of the climate crisis we have today.

BCdiploma-EvidenZ Christmas News
By: Vincent Langard
Tags: Binance, Evidenz, Cryptocurrency, Token Economy, English

First, some history: it all started in 2017 with the successful BCdiploma ICO in early 2018. Today, after 3 years of R&D, a patent granted in the USA, more than 100 user institutions in 15 countries around the world, BCdiploma and EvidenZ’s journey is unique. How many crypto projects in the world can claim to have provided large companies, universities and prestigious schools in production with a blockchain solution? All this has been possible with the full support of the BCdiploma-EvidenZ community, whom we thank warmly here… this is only the beginning of the adventure!

25% BCDT burnrate is extended for 1 year

BCDT is the fuel of the EvidenZ ecosystem. “Blockchain Certified Data Token” is an innovative ERC-20 token built for B2B: for each certificate issued, BCDTs feed the EvidenZ smart-contract. By design, each time a BCDT token is issued, it is burned: the total BCDT supply therefore decreases with the use of the solution. The percentage of BCDT burned in the operation is fixed by smart contract and detailed in the original whitepaper, here is the extract:

The % of tokens burned is therefore 25% and should reach 5% by January 31, 2021. The team has decided that the 25% percentage will be maintained for another year, reaffirming its confidence in the BCDT ecosystem.

EvidenZ.io conquering of the world

The EvidenZ.io team wants to increase the visibility of the project with a geographical approach. The launch of the EvidenZ.io website in Chinese and French in the upcoming days will be a major first step! Other languages are expected in the upcoming months, enabling EvidenZ to conquer new territories.

Binance Webimarathon

We were invited to present BCdiploma at the Binance Webimarathon which ended on December 17th. Thousands of blockchain lovers have discovered EvidenZ and will receive in January their certificate issued by Binance teams thanks to BCdiploma on the Binance Smart Chain!

The intervention of BCdiploma & EvidenZ founders here (in French):

BCdiploma highlighted on TheCoinTribune

BCdiploma is spotlighted on TheCoinTribune, one of the most important crypto media in France, and soon on the international scene!

A very well documented first article relates the BCdiploma adventure and includes a video interview of the founders (in French) :

A second article is dedicated to the blockchain certificates issued by Binance thanks to BCdiploma :

Burn announcement: 50,000 certificates by December 31, 2020

To highlight the end of the year, we are pleased to announce the purchase of more than 50,000 certification credits by a group of 4 of our clients. The powering of the EvidenZ smart contract and the resulting token burn will be carried out before the end of the year.

To conclude

The entire BCdiploma team wishes its entire community of crypto lovers an excellent holiday season. 2021 promises to be very rich for the EvidenZ ecosystem, stay tuned!
Book I read recently :The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Tags: Book Review, Fiction, India, Arundhati Roy, English

The God of Small Things .

For the past two months I was reading a classic of philosophy , and it was not going to be over soon . I became impatient and I really needed a quick read before the Christmas to sum up my reading goal for this year so I picked up The God of Small Things as it’s part of BBC’s Top 100 Books List — a list that I follow when I have no clue what to read . The God of Small things , as one of my friend once told me it is the saddest book he’s ever read , is indeed a book of gloom . It was the first novel written by Arundhati Roy and won Booker Prize in 1997.

The story starts in year 1969 Ayemenem , Kerala — the southernmost state of India and revolves around the tragic story of two-egg twins Rahel — Esthappen , and their family . Just like any other classic tragic Indian book it covers all that is bad in Indian society —religious and cultural tensions , harassment , social discrimination , pollution , political corruption, and pollution .

Even though the story revolves mostly around dizygotic twins — Rahel and Esthappen , but book is not about these two fraternal twins . Infact it gives us a glimpse of a plethora of characters and their stories but fails to develop a definite character in any of them . Ammu — divorced and mother of twins , Chacko — Ammu’s brother , Sophie — daughter of Chacko , Margaret Kochamma — Chacko’s British ex-wife , Baby Kochamma — ex nun and grandaunt to twins , Mammachi — family matriarch , Pappachi — Mammachi’s husband , and Velutha — an untouchable Christian , none of these characters was justified in the book . All the characters tasted like unbaked cookies with salt of sorrow sprinkled on them .

The main disappointment of the book was its story , on the page one it talks about a tragedy and rest of the book simply explains the back story , with no element of surprise. It felt like author was writing about problems in Indian society (that we all know and are ashamed of ) and just to make those problem feel more personal she has introduced some characters . I think if it would have been a direct essay or non fictional work with some real life facts and figured I would have personally loved it .

The book follows a non-sequential narrative jumping between several flash ins and flash outs adding to the mess. I personally like when an English author takes in consideration of words and phrases of a region , that cannot be translated in English, and blends them in English . Arundhati Roy has done an excellent job in that area by amalgamating songs , catchy ad phrases, songs , and poems into her work .The book is so well written that in-spite of a poor story and unbaked characters its a page turner .

Despite being a classic , I didn't like the book and this may be my personal preference . I know some critics will say I didn't get it , I’d say I got it but still I just didn't like the book . There are many fictional works with good story that make you feel about wrongs in Indian society , but this one surely was not one .
Why You Should Study English and Philsophy.
By: Jamie Styles
Tags: Student Life, University, Career Advice, College Life, English

Why You Should Study English and Philsophy.

I remember my manager telling me after I told him, I was going to study English literature and Philosophy, that he “would see me soon, then”. The common word on humanities is that they are pointless, as they have no necessary goal. “Everyone has an English degree”, “That won’t get you a job” and so on. However, this is nonsense; if you are not sure what you want to do, you shouldn’t be getting a degree.

However, if you are maybe questioning your career choices, and have some idea, I would highly suggest English or Philosophy. I think they prepare you for jobs on a human level, journalism, counselling, psychology and lecturing. However, I would say be prepared to get additional qualifications; for example, I am doing a year in journalism with my degree; this is not yet necessary.

Philosophy is one of those subjects where again, people tend to question your decision. Yet it is one of the most objectives on the humanities, and especially regarding analytic philosophy. However, more continental philosophy is further engaging. In Philosophy, you are taught how to be precise, present an argument, analyse difficult work, and understand things’ inner workings. Philosophy is hard to define; it is part of so many subjects, you can study logic which is similar to mathematics, philosophy of science, history or existence itself. If you can make a strong case for why you chose philosophy and the skills it helped you gain, an employer would look favourably on it. Having said this, I think that philosophy is, however, best for people wanting to enter academia at some stage or as a joint honour, it is the right choice.

English, on the other hand, is a more general subject. It incorporates, politics, sociology, language, linguistics, psychology, history and philosophy. English is a great subject, as you learn how to use language and how to analyse it so that other humanities subjects do not. The material will challenge you, but you will learn a lot. English can be what you want it to be if you’re going to focus on feminism, Freudian theory, or maybe the use of soliloquies, even down to the single word level. English can be a creative subject. However, it can also be a completely objective one. English is a subject that offers many career paths. A good grasp of English is always necessary whatever the profession you go into. Articulation, creativity, attention to detail, organisation, grammar, spelling, presentation analysis and formality are all skills that are transferable skills for the workplace.

Even though this has been my ideas of these subjects’ value, I believe that a degree is what you make it. If you engage in and outside of class, look for opportunities, make contacts, and give a valid reason for studying your degree, it does not matter.

A woman in red stole my heart
By: Oumaima Oya
Tags: Colors, Love, Friendship, Writing, English

Le rouge me bouge, ma plus belle fleure “Paulina”

I am sure you will wonder and be curious to know about this mysterious woman whom I love, respect and admire. She is very intelligent female, she has a wonderful personality, she has a beautiful smile and she heals every deep wound a person can have. As she did with me, she is now like my sister from another mother. She speaks more than two languages and she knows how to use them to play with words and put magic to every single expression she uses.

Why Red?

Generally, women like the color red and red is a sign of love. I do agree! But in her case, the color changes to life and beauty signs. She made from this color her own fashion and style of living. She is always wearing red, her nail polish is red and her favorite lipstick is also red. She made from this color her identity and no one can compete with her.

Her name is Paulina Yummy, life has gathered us in a beautiful way. we have met in a language center. I thank my dear Allah till now for giving me the chance to meet such a beautiful soul. I have learnt a lot from her; how to be strong, how to be more independent and how to see life in a positive and colorful way. Maybe she sees life in red which means “happiness for her”. For me I agree and I choose the color “Blue” to symbolize “Innocence and Purity” in my life (as you know, water is my life so I’ve chosen Blue ;) )

So, let us see life in colors and make it True as the song “True Colors” from Trolls ( My Fav animation movie).

A lesson:

Don’t you ever hesitate and keep meeting new people. Don’t you ever decide in a sudden to close the door and be alone, don’t you ever forget the good things people offered you one day, don’t you ever forget to message or call an old friend in the excuse of being “BUSY”. Be aware and remember the ones that were beside you when no one was there, keep smiling and let life brings you happiness in different colors. We cannot deny that it is hard to find such a friendship and we have to be thankful for it once we have it, but this does not mean that we will stop caring or sharing love and tender with others. Remember, people need us and we need people so we can continue our path to the future. Forget what happened in the before and start a new page, a whole white page and color it with your honest feelings so you can spread your wings and fly freely without obstacles.

My lovely quote for today:

“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

Youths chasing starlight dusts,

echoes of eternity;

Across the universe and

Andromeda

7 million light years away.

He sees hope in the middle,

of a swirling black hole.

She sees only the depths,

of his stone cold heart.

Freezing;

Like dry ice tumbling.

In and over the top,

Dreams falling from the sky;

and onto laps

like warm bread,

ready for a spread of butter.

Twiddling thumbs..

and shaking heads.

Ready for everything,

Nothing

Doing nothing is the art,

of going into the deepest part of yourself.

And simply let it go.

It is the achievement of depth,

and desires.

In flux, rotating through the microcosm

of the 21st century.

Middling eyes and trembling hands,

co-exist in futures;

not yet explored.

Nor conquered,

merely contemplated

in Darkness.

Scribbling with air pencils,

random thoughts screaming

like arrows through night skies.

Within and without.

Clinging onto false idols,

of fame, greed and larceny.

We sit on hillsides

with our dreams and hopes,

crumbling as the sun goes down.

Holding hands

in Disbelief.
Renewed engineering for Faraday V3.14
By: Faraday Team
Tags: Vulnerability Management, Releases, Cybersecurity, Release Notes, English

2020 was an unprecedented and eventful year, different from any other and it was no exception for us. In light of this, we’ve decided to skip a version for our next release (v3.13) -as the number 13 has got a bad reputation-, and we will be releasing v3.14 directly.

We believe that it’s necessary that all pieces work well inside to have a better performance, so we took the time to slow down, analyze in depth what we had been doing and focus on fixing small things to make a big leap in the short term.

Some of our improvements cannot be seen at first glance since most of them are invisible, but we’re sure you will notice them while working daily with Faraday.

Among other things that were added to the platform, one that stands out is a new filter for the vulnerability template and the possibility to assign multiple workspaces to users via api.

This new version allows users to face big projects with renewed engineering and provides the maturity that our product needs to be able to make big changes in the future.

Stay tuned — there will be news soon!

For any questions or requests please contact us at sales@faradaysec.com and we’ll be happy to assist you on whatever you need.

2 Corinthians 9:14–15
By: Rolcc Daily Devotion
Tags: English, Devotion

And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Today, believers are not confronting warfare with the physical world, but rather with the spiritual world. Spiritual warfare is taking place inside us daily. Devil is trying all kinds of ploys to destroy our relationship with God and make our heart drift away from the Lord. What happens around us in our daily life is not the actual spiritual battle; the real spiritual battle takes place after these things happen, when we start to complain to God, develop pride or judge others in our mind. For example, if your car stalls on the highway, this event is not a spiritual battle, because it might just be that you haven’t maintained it well. After the car stalled, however, if you start complaining again God, then a spiritual battle is taking place. That’s why Paul said here that “we do not wage war as the world does.” If you are fighting a war with the world, then we can engage our own strength and weapon. If we are, however, fight a war in the spiritual realm, then we must count on God to overcome the ploys of the enemy.

Many Christians do not understand that spiritual warfare is something real, and they don’t know how to depend on God to fight the enemy. It is like a soldier fighting a war in the frontline with bullets raining down, but never realizing that he’s in a war. Isn’t that a ridiculous situation? Unfortunately, that’s how many believers are being suppressed by the enemy, because they don’t know that they have already resurrected with Christ. We are now sitting on the throne with the Lord, and we have sufficient authority to overcome the devil. The Bible tells us that we must count on God to engage in spiritual warfare, and we can proclaim victory by working with Him. The goal of spiritual warfare is not to intimidate us, but it’s for us to become more cautious in order to avoid the traps of the enemy. Brothers and sisters, do you know that you are encountering spiritual warfare? We must rebuke the devil’s ploys by faith, and let the authority of God to manifest again in every part of your life.

Pray with Pastor Tong

Lord, please open our eyes and let us understand that we are now in the midst of a serious spiritual warfare. In the victorious name of the Lord we proclaim that all the doubts and disobedience in our spirit are now over, and we pray that God will once again rule our lives. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!

A Drinking Song (a translation)

By William Butler Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth

And love comes in at the eye;

That's all we shall know for truth

Before we grow old and die.

I lift the glass to my mouth,

I look at you, and I sigh.

Uma canção etílica

William Butler Yeats

Vinho entra pela boca

E amor entra pelo olho;

Isso é tudo que devemos saber para valer

Antes de crescer e morrer.

Ergo o copo até minha boca,

Olho você, e suspiro.

Monster Song Lyrics Meaning in Hindi

तुम मुझे एक पैदल यात्रा पर रखो

और मुझे बताओ मैं सबसे अच्छा हूँ

आकाश में मुझे उठाएँ

जब तक मैं सांस की कमी है

आत्मविश्वास के साथ मुझे भरें

मेरा कहना है कि मेरे सीने में क्या है

मेरे शब्द और फैलाओ

मुझे नीचे फाड़ दो

कुछ नहीं बचा है

मोहरे को बस पुनर्व्यवस्थित करें

बाकी के साथ मुझे फिट करने के लिए

लेकिन क्या अगर मैं

व्हाट इफ आई ट्रिप

2 Corinthians 9:14–15
By: Rolcc Daily Devotion
Tags: English, Devotion

And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Have you counted God’s blessings in your life? You will realize that God has spiritual gifts, salvation gift and many other kinds of blessings. The more you count, the more your heart will be filled with joy. At times we are not able to be joyful, primarily because we fail to count God’s blessings and instead we count the faults of others. The Bible says, “Love keeps no record of wrong”, but yet we keep counting the faults of others, causing our hearts to be trapped by the schemes of the enemy.

Psalm 107 mentions that God has done wonderful deeds for mankind. First we receive the blessing of His guidance. When we look back at our lives, there are many points in our lives when we are wandering in the desert. We feel lost and not know where we should go or what we should do. However, He has been guiding us according to His miraculous ways, to help us walk a straight path and satisfy our needs. Secondly, He has released blessings into our lives. Before we were saved, we were often trapped by sin, lies, traditions and the power of idols. The Lord has done a work of release in our lives, broken the chains and open the gates, rescuing us from the hand of the enemy.

Thirdly, God gives us the grace of healing in our lives. Our God is glad to heal. He is glad to heal our spirit and heal our sickness, saving us from death. All who come before him and ask will not be forsaken. Four, He gives us the grace of protection. Whether you are driving outside, on a boat or plane, it is because of God’s protection each time you return home safely. We give thanks for any near-death experience we may have, but we often forget to thank God for his daily protection. Five, we need to remember God’s common grace in our lives. God grants us a planet to live in, He causes food to grow, and gives us all kinds of property. God also grants us our families and church, becoming our support. No wonder Psalm 107:43 says, “Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.” Brothers and sisters, are you wise? Ask God to awaken us to count His multiple blessings together.

Pray with Pastor Tong

Lord, I thank you because you have indeed poured out countless blessings. We want to give thanks for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us. Thank you for your past provision, guidance, protection, help and healing. May your faithful hand continue to lead us in the way ahead of us, and we will give all the glory to you. I thank you and pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!

My hero and new cool words from the book “About a Boy” 🧒🏻 📚
Tags: Heroes, Words, Books, Reading, English

Hey, guys!😎

I wanna tell you about the interesting person from the book “About a Boy” that I’m currently reading.

I have a friend that behaves like Will from this book. He sleeps with a lot of girls, does nothing in his life and lives only for his pleasure as Will. Will helps to develop Marcus, a twelve-year-old boy that has problems with people at school , as my friend helped me with these problems when I probably was the same age. Ok, it wasn’t choice of Will the first time as it was choice of my friend (but maybe it seems to me like that because I don’t remember I was so persistent as Marcus or nah) but this book reminds me about this period of my life and I appreciate my friend that helped me as Will does it for Marcus ❤️

That’s why I think that Will is kind of a hero for me. People like him will always be heroes because you should be patient and kind to explain not your own child how to live and behave in this life, and how to resolve their problems.

Also I see the development of Will. Earlier he never fell in love, he slept with girls for one night, he didn’t like children and didn’t want to have them. Now he fell in love for the first time (I’m so happy about him! 😍) and he understood that he is not a good option for Rachel but I think he will develop for her in a good way. He didn’t want to talk with Marcus earlier, but now he helps him a lot and even went to Christmas lunch with Marcus’s family to make Marcus happy. It’s so cool that he cares about Marcus’s feelings!

I’m very interested in what will happen next and see Will’s development!

Also I wanna share with you new cool words from the book:

• let off steam — to get rid of your anger with physical activity or by behaving in a noisy or violent way

• bollocks — it means ‘nonsense’

• keep your hair on — to ask to not over react on a situation

• bloody — used to express anger or to emphasize what you are saying in a some rude way

• keen on smb — liking someone, or thinking that they are attractive

That’s all! Waiting for the next pleasure reading session to share with you what will happen! :)
