False friends

               Reading the title many of us could have thought that I'm going to write about people who hurt me, but I have to dissapoint you... False friends are words which are very similar in two or more languages, but which have different meaning, and that's why sometimes confuse us. I'd like to present some useful false friends present in English and Polish.

New Year's resoltions!

                     We're in year 2015. Every year most of the people prepare a list with resolutions- what they want to do or change during the year. Unfortunatelly, most of the positions from the list are just intentions... The most popular ideas are ''I'm going on a diet'', ''I'll learn regularly'' or ''I'll do more exercises''.
                  I want to share with you some of my resolutions, of course we will see if they will become true ;)

I'm going to graduate! It's high time to end my education and start to work. But... maybe it's not a good idea. Adult life scares me a bit, I'd like to be an eternal student, but without exams ;)

I'm going to do things  immediately, because when I postpone everything, I don't know what to do, and I end doing nothing...

I'm going to take care of my health, so after the period of exams I'm going to examine myself.

Well, I'd like also eat healthier, but it could be a bit difficult, especially when I'm going home, when my mother cooks...

I'm going to run 3-4 times a week, so I hope there won't be a harsh winter.

That's all for now. Of course I had more intentions, but I broke them ;)

And do you have some New Year's resolutions?
