Practice Using "Be Able To"

Thanks for your input. you gave me the whole nine yards on what the “Mate” is. I can almost taste it on my buds :) .Silver , wooo, very fancy… don’t share your “Mate” with me mate, I might run away with that silver straw of yours.

Snoopyboy , I suggest you might surf the net  and look for Argentine wines , a great deal of information is available. 

In Argentina ,Paraguay,Uruguay and some parts of Brazil ,we are used  to drink ” Mate” we need a hollow calabashed gourd and a metal straw  (traditionally made of silver)then we  fill have way the gourd with  dried leaves of yerba mate ( herbs)  and  add hot water (not boiling water) Families and friends  like to share  the gourd .Arab people ,also in India and another eastern countries they like to  share the Hookah ,only that this is  sharing a smoke,  I made myself clear ?  hope so .. :)))) 

@Julito, I meant to ask … I heard good deals about Red Argentine wine, any suggestion?.And what’s the name of that tea thing you guys drink with a pipe ? enlighten me brother :) Thanks in advance

just image google “Antartica  landscape” it looks the same every where, hehehe!

Snoopyboy . I am cracking up with laughter at your  description about what is like for you to live in Antartica. Sure enough , you could write a book about it.We can not forget that Antartica is a mayor tourist destination   around the world . Please,before moving to Bora Bora ,  post some pictures  ,we would very much appreciate them.       

All those praises about sunshine and chirping birds, bikini tans and white sands, skimpy-clad hot women, glittering emerald waters, rainbows and butterflies. I’ve had enough of all that. Nothing beats the crisp Antarctic morning breeze, the hum of polar bear’s howling in the dawn. The sound of my teeth chattering involuntarily, the feeling of frostbite tingling my face, caressing my fingers and neck rather roughly. I rejoice as I crack open my igloo and there… as far as my eyes can see, not a single coconut tree, not a bluebird in sight, not one tourist running amuck; just a pure marshmallow-y horizon. Nature at its purest and coldest, living at its utmost vigor. Plus my aurora australis is by far more majestic than your dim rainbows. Here in Antarctica we have two seasons: Colder and Coldest, hehehe!!

(It’s all a joke folks, I love all weathers – Next destination: Bora Bora Island)

CatcheR, actually we go anywhere we want (the cars in Belarus have “the winter type” of tyres) We have the special  machinery for the snow cleaning on the streets. The roads are available  during the whole winter. Winter is not problem for us. We get used to that, indeed. It would be a torture to sit at home whole winter.

I agree with Jason, It’s wonderful when you hear the rain while you are trying top sleep. It’s just a perfect melody. My hometown is the most rainy place in Turkey so I am used to rainy nights. And I love it but I prefer clear nights that I can see the stars and hear the sound of cicadas..

I think I like every kind of night weathers. When I was a child, my favourite nights were cloudy nights with the moon. I used to watch the moon sliding behind the clouds.

Hello kotlesya, I like the color of autum, the dried leaf it is just so nice color,
Talking about snow I heard it can be dangerous, you can’t go anywhere and you’ve to stay in for such long time, how do you feel spending time inside the house during snow time? Thanks for the great INFO before 

Hi Buttafly, you may come Indonesia for a visit, stay as log as you want and feel the warm weather of my beloved country, and so you can see the stars at night :) I am sure you’ll like it.

Buttafly  ,Red argentine wine. Now we are talking !!!! hehehe

in my hometown,ZhuHai.the night weather is warm.if u like have a walk after dinner,i think the night weather in zhuhai is prefect to u !of coures,the sunset is very beautiful too…by the way,if u would like to enjoy the photos from my hometown,check my album.：）

nothing like,night winter with your family or friends..here in my country winter is more interesting than summer..although it’s very cold but its a wonderful opportunity for camping…

Dear Buttafly, Yes, definitily Carmel is a place  that most people would like to  live in ( me included) I have just  got back from southern california  ,i was visiting  some people living in Montecito ,close to Santa Barbara , a desire  popped up in my   mind : I  would like to live here  ,but  was  only  daydreaming. HEHEHE  

In Tropical area of Pakistan is day or so hoter in summer but winter will be cold the weather of night is so humility and so comfertable in the monson season. 

If i can make friend with you,i will be very happy.

I am a chinese,and i want to improve my english.

I want to make friends.

Hello Battafly, let´s suppose that you are giving the chance  to move somewhere else, what  place would you like to go ? .Have you ever thought  about it . Warm weather makes people more outgoing ,I like  Brazilian  people , year round they go to swim and surf in the Atlantic Ocean  and you can see a lot of smiles in their faces .

Kotleysa- Battafly..  Nordic  people  like to go to the mediterranean  to sunbathe  and swim  in  its emerald waters. I agree that during  the   winter season people  tend to be gloomy  . I have friends in  Seattle, in the State of Washington, I usually go in summer, the weather is fine, we can go to the mountains, the lakes ,forests, sooooo wonderful, but what about winter ? endless days of drizzle or overcast most of the time. I do not know whether I could adjust myself  to live there, I need the sun  and a few rainy days  just for a change.

 kotlesya  said ”I miss the sun and the long daylight from October till March” Thats the same I feel.Missing the sun is something which pushes me in the darkest night and wakes me up again and again.
