Task #8

I talked to my aunt trough skype. She is 30 years old and she lives in America. She has a husband in America and two adorable kids called Savina and Sofia. She is my dad's sister. I plan to visit her soon, because I want to go to America and also I get to babysit Savina and Sofia. I asked her questions about the differences in Estonia and America. She told me that she missed Estonia very much and she wanted to come back here one day to visit her family and friends. Gina told me that life in America is very hard, but you get more opportunities there than in Estonia. She told me that people there were very nice and friendly, but in Estonia everybody didn't just come by to you and say: "hi!" She thought that the difference between Estonia and America is very big, especially the communication level. She said that she will always love Estonia a little more than America. I think it's because in Estonia you will always feel a little more like at home, but in America everything is so complicated and new. And here's an old picture of me, my grandma and Gina.

Books.

What do I think about books?
I like books and I enjoy reading. The good thing about them is that I get a lot smarter and I learn new words. I like stories, what are kind of like based on my life. For example if there's a teenage girl, who talks about her life and what exiting and embarrissing has happened, I feel like I'm not the only one :) Just now I am reading a book "Girl, 15, Flirt For England" and it is very funny, so I always laugh when I think something is funny and I just can't stop reading.
I think, that everybody should read books, so I'm very thankful for my Estonian teacher, for giving us so good books to read. And reading is something good to do while you're riding with a bus, being bored in a plane or before going to sleep. I think so far I have read about 50 or more books, but my mom said, that when she was little she read every single book, what was in the school library.
What do I not like about books, is when someone writes a book about their life and they just talk how good their life is and it's like they're trying to make us feel bad, like Justin Bieber's book "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story". I mean he's only 17 and he really has nothing to talk about. And I don't like it, when a book has no meaning. I think every good book should have a thought in it and we should learn from it.
