This month winter come in Mainland Europe. I could imagine the snows spreading everywhere ....on the roof, tress, road, car . Almost people feel cold and frozen. There were not cheerful but otherwise many peoples feel sentimental, especially people who lives alone without a couple.4 years ago I also experienced it, when I did Praktikum in Viersen a beautiful little City near Dusseldof, Germany (I did Praktikum in Travel Bureau). The City is bordered with Holland. I was staying in Appartment alone without my family. As a little City, the atmosphere of Viersen was very lonely because the inhabitant not so many. I had no friend in that area. So I really alone and so sad. Everyday after cameback from the Office I walked around the Supermark Aldi for purchasing somethings or just window shopping. Just for killing time, because when I was in my Appartment I would feel sad..and remember my family in my country.When I was in Appartement and had no thing to do, I just saw the snows flying from the sky down to Earth. Cold and lonely, and I did not realize my tears drop in my cheek. That was uncomfortable living alone in Winter.

For many peoples, English is very easy, but for me English is very difficult. I had learned English since I was in the Junior High School. I had never taken English Course because my family could not pay the Course.when I was Government Employee in Regional Secretary of Central Java Province, I seldom use English as communication tool since my Office has not relationship with foreign companies or foreign guests.When INwent (Germany Institution) gave opportunity to Government employee to take a part in the Regional Economic Development Course in Germany, I tried to apply that course and I passed the test. I did not know why I could pass the test, even though my English was not good. And I was so nervous when my contact person from INwent said that the course is going to use Deutsch (German Language). So lala .....I was headache....my English was not Good and I could imagine how was difficult German language !For reducing my fears, I learned the both language via internet (BBC for learning English) and (Deutschewelle for German Language) . Finally, God blessed me and I was successful following that course. I stayed in Germany for 1,5 years and during that time I flew around Europa. Every year INwent holds Alumni Conference in different country, such as India, Vietnam, The Philipines, Singapore and Malaysia, and off course I always be invited.Up till now I feel that my English is not so good, particularly grammar and technical writing.For my friends, please improve your English because peoples who has capability in speaking English has many opportunities to go abroad.
