I'd like to talk about my two cats, who are called Misha and Masha, and they're nine years old. And because I work for the British Council and I've worked in lots of different parts of the world, they're quite international cats. So they were born in St Petersburg, Russia, around the dawn of the millennium, in the middle of winter. And St Petersburg winters are very, very cold, so it's kind of minus 30 degrees, and some friends of mine found these two tiny little kittens in the snow and brought them in and then sent an email around the office saying 'Who can look after these two cats?' And my wife and I already had two cats at the time, from Indonesia, and we thought can we ... have we got room ... can we adopt these two new cats? And then when we saw them, they were just so cute that we couldn't say no. So we brought them home and so they lived with us for, like, two years in Russia. And then we moved back to the UK and they had to stay in France for six months, erm, just to check that they didn't have rabies ... erm, before they were allowed into the UK. And then they lived with us in Cambridge and we had a cat flap so they used to wander about it.
When it came to leave the UK, we discovered that they'd in fact had about five or six different homes and had made friends with all kinds of people along the street and used to go and get fed and get stroked and cuddled by all of our neighbours. Then we moved to Mexico and we had a house with a garden so we had to build a special fence that kind of curled in on itself so that the cats would climb up and then feel that they were starting to fall down so they'd climb back down again.
And then we moved to Guangzhou this time last year. So now they are 'flat cats', erm, they've not been squashed, they just live in our flat, live in our apartment and they don't go out. They just go out onto the balcony. But the interesting thing is that their personality has ... seems to have changed in every country they've lived in. So Masha used not to be very friendly towards people. As she's got older, she's now quite a cuddly cat. And they've adapted to living, to being kind of free to roam about and then being in the garden and now they seem to be very happy just being in a flat.

I love travelling. So each place, each country, I'm both in honour of its.
If I had a chance to move around the world, firstly I would like to work in Japan. This is the country in my dream. I admire Japanese. They are really kind, friendly and they always live up to their principles and the law. Living in Japan, we feel safe. No stealing, no traffic jam and no being late.
Although this country has a lot of natural calamity, their economy is very developed.
Beside, I also love their food, their culture and a lot of places in there.
Please correct my sentences. Thank you so much
Hello Kemist,
That's a nice text, but I'm afraid we don't offer the service of correcting texts. If we did, we'd have time for nothing else! If there's a specific phrase or sentence you'd like to ask about, please feel free. We only ask that you try to post it on a relevant page.

cats are not at all indifferent,they 're very much loyal
If I have a chance to move to another country. I would like to live in Australia. That is my plan in the future. I really want to live there. Because the Life in there is not rushing. The rate of happiness of inhabitant is higher than other countries over the world. That is a evindence of the politic government which are very good and fair. On the other hand, The cost of living in there is not too high. People there are being lived in the good situationss Specially, The system of education programme is the fist role
If my job allowed me to move around the world, I would like to work in Great Britain, Germany and France. Work in each of these countries can improve your qualifications. So I think people who work in different countries have a really diverse experience. I would like to have this experiment.
Every morning when I wake-up I said to the sun that I will say "good morning" in Finland. I dont know why I love Finland but I very fall in love Finland education systems. I ever had a pet, my pet is hamster that I gave them names are CHACA and BEDUL. If I opened their home, he would bring his leg to my hand, its very wonderful sessions.
