Do you know that...

Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, often with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and instilling moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of view. The term 'storytelling' is used in a narrow sense to refer specifically to oral storytelling and also in a looser sense to refer to techniques used in other media to unfold or disclose the narrative of a story.

English and me.



Since I was a young girl, I understood that it is important to know English language.           
Unfortunately, I have never learnt it….
My  adult  daughter  left  to  Canada
She   lives   in  a  beautiful  region  surrounded by  rich  natureWhen  my   granddaughter – Julia  was born 
I   flew  to  this   „End  of  The World”
At  the  end  of  my  journey  I  found  out  that  my  luggage  was  lost.
I  tried  to  find  it  but  my  English  was  poor. 
First, I  couldn’t  understand  what airport staff was telling me.    
Finally,  my  dictionary  helped  me. 
I  understood:  my luggage  will  be  found and delivered to me.
And it was....
Once  I  went   with   Julia  for  a  walk.I   saw  some people  waving their hands at me and trying to tell me something,  but  I  didn’t  understand  them    and  I  walked  away.
The  young  boys   stopped me  and  they  turned  me  back  because  I  was  going
to  a  place  where  a  bear  was  looking for his  lunch!
 Another  day,  I  was  going   somewhere  by  the train.
Suddenly,  I   heard  some news  being announced on the speakers    but  I  didn’t  understand  anything, couldn’t recognize the words, so  I  wasn’t able  to  use  my  dictionary. 
All  passengers   started   to   get  off  In  a  hurry  so  I  got  off  too
It turned out that there  was  an  accident  and  we  had  change  the  train.

                SO   NOT   KNOWING  ENGLISH    IS   VERY   HARD !!
