The new American President

Since the American president has a lot of power and his decisions influences lives of people around the world, the choice of the new man for this position is the event which is of high importance for almost everyone. It is obvious that what he thinks and intends to introduce or abolish will somehow have impact on us. Nowadays many Americans believe that the reign of Obama will bring some positive changes in the country and foreign policy. They are very optimistic, hopeful and see only the bright side of future. I think that even though Mr.Obama might perform some positive actions, he will not be good at dealing with everything. Therefore, it is good to take the recent events with a pinch of salt. Maybe I am too pesimistic but for me everything that appears to be promising in politics, usually proves to be only half as good as it was claimed to be.

My Teaching Practice

My first lesson in which I played the role of a teacher took place on 17th October 2008. I think that it wasn’t so bad as I had expected it to be. I believe that for the first time it was OK since I did everything that I had planned to cover. What is more, I wasn’t very nervous and, as a result, I was able to communicate with students rather successfully. On the other hand, there were some problems connected with discipline. Students were too noisy when the lesson started but after relatively short time I managed to calm them down.
I enjoy teaching and I want to teach in the future. However, I cannot call myself a good professional since I feel I still must learn some things and improve my way of teaching .

My Christmas

When I was a child I really loved Christmas. For me it started on 23^rd December every year as it was the time when I, my sister and my father were decorating our Christmastree while my mother was cooking and baking. I remember that there was frequently plenty of quarrels about where to hang the most attractive glass balls. It happend often that we called mom to come from the kitchen and play the role of an arbiter who gives a final verdict. Eventually, we were always proud of ourselves and admired the marvellous effect of our cooperation. Then, it was the time for me and my sister to go to bed and the parents secretely packed the presents. On the Christmas Eve, my both grandmothers, grandfather and aunt came. All together we were waiting for the first star, praying, reading the Bible, eating delicious dishes, talking with Santa Clause ( who always appeared in the late evening) and enjoying our presents. My granny often sang carrols. All this created the unique and wonderful atmosphere that I will always remember:). Before midnight my mom, dad, sister and I went to church. When we were back at home I checked whether my canary, 2 parrots and guinea pig talk. Then, we ate again and went to bed. It was usually the end of the best part of Christmas period for me. The next two days, which are the Christmas days, were also great but meant less to me. In the picture you can see me and my elder sister , Ania.

My Music

Music is important to me. My world would be definitely less enjoyable without it. For me different tunes are meaningful and remind me about particular events and people in my life. Some memories are sweet and nice while others are gloomy and disheartening. Both of them are significant as they create together a full and true picture of my life .

I don't have favourite band. I like many artists for example, Kult, Pidżama Porno, Strachy na Lachy, T.Love, Dżem, O.N.A., M. Grechuta, The Killers, U2, Guns n' Roses, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Green Day.
Lastly, I enjoy listening to "Nocne Ulice". I associate this song with my city, friends, parties and fun. It is full of energy, makes me feel positively and look at everyday life hopefully. It is the best voice quality I've found:

My Poznań

Hello,
I was born in Poznań and I live here till now. I think that my city is a marvellous place. The first 13th years of my life I spent in the centre of Poznań ( the Old Town ) and then, I moved to Jeżyce district. I think that living in the old parts of the town can be a highly interesting and enriching experinece for everyone. Here, when walking through the narrow, cobbled, cosy streets ans surrounded by historic, magnificient monuments and buildings, you can feel truly unique atmosphere. It is as if "the History" was walking beside you and telling you compelling stories about past times. Moreover, for me it is exactly here where I can meet my best friends from childchood and visit the places ( e.g. Cytadela, Teatralka, plac Wolności etc.) where we used to spend together plenty of time as children and teenagers. We grew up here and I think that we will treasure all our memories connected with our district forever.
