At the beginning I had difficulty to park, but I get much more exercise and many nervous of my husband, so I did it. Sunday with our children made a trip to the shops. We bought some things and enjoyed .

How to improve your brain

          Here are a four tips how can improve your brain. Regularly exercise your brain because these keep it and develop new nerve connections that can help improve your memory. You can challenge your brain with puzzles and games; you can keep your brain active and improve its skills. Try some fun puzzle exercises everyday such as crosswords, Sudoku, and other games which you can practice for a few minutes per day. Then, reduce stress. Although stress does not damage directly the brain, it can make memorizing much more complex. Even stresses can make it more difficult to effectively focus on daily duty and observe things. You can practice yoga or other stretching exercises. Next, try meditation. Some people believe this can get better attention, focus, and memory. Last, sleep well.

Animal communication

        The best way to communication involve showing main body parts, gestures, or their combination, but there are some types of communication between animals. First, is dangerous warning. This is a signal that animals made when they feel in dangerous. They told to all members of their group to run or cover, so as to reduce the risk of attack and dead. Next is the signals made by members of one sex to attract or keep the attention of potential partner. These communications involve the gestures, behavior and body postures to be able to hold the attention of partner. This type of communication is about leaderships. Last, way to communicate is ownership. Everything that some animals do is to mark own territory. They use sounds and aggression to show their group level. Moreover, some species also have alternative way to indicate their dominance under the presence of another. In the end, animals use different communication about their behavior.

I had a cat many years ago whom was very strange. She was very jealous and she felt responsibility to protect me. For example, she did not allow anyone from my family to sit beside me when we were watching TV. She only had ability to sit close to me. If my cat began to feel threatened, she growled. If someone came to visit me, she was always ready to attack. However, the most hated person was my boyfriend. She showed how did not like him. She constantly stalked him and waited possibility to bite or scratch. If I sometimes forget to hide his shoes, she peed into them. I consisted into the bathroom because she could open doors alone. On the other hand my cat was very comely and beautiful. Every morning she awaked me with a “kiss”. I do not know why I was fortunate to be her favorite, but there was a lot of fun. She was friendly like this dogs .

Easter

Easter is the one of most important religious celebrate in the Christian people. They believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days after his funeral, and celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day. Saturday I cleaned and decorated the house, baked Easter biscuits and special sweet bread. Although traditionally lamb is the main dish, my family prefers to eat chicken. After that I and my kids colored the eggs. Then at midnight on the Saturday the bells rang out joyfully and we walked around church three times. Sunday morning we exchange the colored eggs and play the game where we attempt to crack each other’s eggs. The person whose egg broke last is a winner and this symbolizes assured good luck for the rest of the year.

" Cop Out "

    I went to movie theater last week and saw the movie “ Cop out” . It was about two longtime police partners, a baseball card and Mexican mafia. I chose this movie because I love my favorite actor Bruce Willis and saw all of his movies. In the beginning of the movie it was a little boring but then later became quite enjoyable. Bruce has typical comic situations, many shooting and crime. I would recommend to all people, who love this type of movie, go to see it.

Difference Between Bulgarian and Canadian Education

              There are many differences between the Bulgarian and Canadian education system. First, children go to school in first grade when they are in age of seven, and completed his primary education in grade seventh . During this period, the classes that they taught in public schools are the same for everybody. They include not only Bulgarian language and literature ,but also mathematics, physics, biology as well, chemistry, history and geography. Second, this is vacation school. After grade seven the children must to choose what kind of school to continue in. They have two opportunities to continue in the high school, or professional high school where students have to pass an entrance exam, if they want to attend it. They have such a wide choice of schools such as technical school of electronic, professional high school of cooking, economics and much more.The third difference is that public university degree is much cheaper and accessible to everybody.In the other hand children in Canada start school at five years old and finish their elementary education in fifth grade. Unlike the Bulgarian education, Canada does not offer different types of high schools and all students take the same courses .To go to universities is not so easy because it is too expensive, nevertheless many students take loan or get a job to support their education.

Paralympics Games

          Yesterday I attended a cross-country skiing Paralympics Games. I went there with a large group of friends to support our team. I was very surprised by how strong it must be a human to avoid his problem. I have never realized how lucky I am. It is amazing how they overcame their disability. I cannot believe that it is possible not to lose your hope while being disabled. Paralympics athletes are examples from the real life proving that disabled people can avoid despair and make good thinks in their life.
