Do I have really to say if i like blogs ?
mmm, ok.... I don` t know, I dont`t like blogs so much as methods to improve our English.. maybe because i didn`t use to study foreign languages writing in blogs in my past.. or maybe cause i think that the other activities are more helpful for me, for example I need to speak more, i need to do more listening exercises ect... more than writing activity.
And i like very much watching movies or videos with Eng. subtitles, cause we can learn new slang and the daily expressions straightaway, and i think that it`s good if the teacher sometime stops it, and make us to repeat and repeat......
I dont`t like blogs cause it`s an individual work, and i think that the comunication is the better and easier way to improve our language and to take confidence.
We can study individually when we are at home.
ok, sorry.........

What you have learned at the course...
Hello!
i think that the 10 weeks of English Classes have been useful for me!
I could review my English, in particular the grammar, but also the listening and speaking and I learned new vocabolaries.
In fact, when I arrived in Sussex, on the 12th of January, I couldn`t understand anything and i couldn`t speak! For example , in my first days i was really struck dumb because I was very shocked by English Language! but now it's really better and i can almost understand what Britains say ;)
However, i`m afraid i won`t attend English classes in the next term, cause i`m an exchange student and I need to continue my project research and to attend university courses, so, unfortunately, i don`t think I have enoght time to do everything!
Maybe, i will attend some English courses for University students, which keep me busy only for few hours weekly and give me the possibility to refine or improve the way to write essays and papers. That could be absolutely useful for me.

US reserchers opened the way for the development of the "bionic eye".
From my point of view this article is very interesting and concern men affected by AMD . The US research could help blind men to recover , at least partially, the sight.

To London :)
My last week started not so good cause , after a wonderful snow-day on the seaside in Brighton, I got ill !! Moreover, my Italian Bank decided to block my card, so I was completely ill and without money :D ..bloody unlucky !!!!
Fortunately the weekend was better, both the health and the money ( not so much) came back!
My friend Eleonora (she is italian and actually she`s studying in London) was waiting for me to spend few days together. So I visited her !!! I was really really happy to see her, i was missing her as friend and as flatmate in Padova. And to see her in London was really weird but really funny !!!
So, friday evening, after a paracetamol pill, I arrived in Victoria. Ele was late (as usual) , and i was waiting for her for only for 1 hour, but i didn`t get angry because I had so much feeling to see her!
Afterwards, we went to the centre of the City, we had a walk to the London Eye (really wonderful) and around... it was the first time I saw London at the night and I was completely shoked by everything:)
Then we went to china town and to Soho, where we spent all the night in some pubs with some new English friends. Since friday night and for all the weekend, we had started to speak English together - or maybe a kind of ENGLISH . I don`t know why, but I remember that saturday night I dreamed something in English :P :)
Saturday was a very very long day, we went to the Tower Bridge, then to Piccadilly Circus and to Oxford street to have window shopping ;).... It was a funny day and also lucky because we have found 10 P next to the street (never happened before in my life!) and we were so happy for us (but not for who has lost it) . We came back home too late to go out at night. We were really tired for the day.
Sunday we went to Buckingham Palace but we lost the changing of the guards cause we were late... Later we spent most of the time in HARRODS :). I like it very much!!
Probably, I've never taken so much pictures as this weekend!

The Maddalena Archipelago is a group of islands in the Strait of Bonifacio ( between Corsica and north-eastern Sardinia ).
It consists of seven main islands and one of these is Budelli.
The particularty of these islands is that, as you can see in the picture, all the grains of the sand are PINK.
That is the reason why , every year, lots of tourists who spend there their summer holidays take away little sandbags and it is becoming a big problem for the preservation of the natural environment.
Sometime happen that some remorseful collectors go back to the islands to take back the pink sand ( also after some years he has stolen it!!!!!!) .
An anonymous woman take back the sand to a museum, instead of other people prefer to sell it on e- bay !!!
IT IS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
