Toys for christmas 

One of the experiences that may have caused either good or bad memories is the toys for Christmas that we received. When I was seven years old I wanted a Barbie doll. It was the same size as a Barbie doll; however it was a Vivian doll. This was the cheaper off brand version. The Barbie doll clothes fit the doll. The difference was that the Vivian doll did not have the same feet so the high heeled Barbie doll shoes did not fit. I was very disappointed with the doll. I never did enjoy playing with that doll. From that time on it seemed that we received brand name items for our toys for Christmas. Now that I am a parent I make sure that my children have fond memories of the holidays.

By going abroad, you will be better accustomed with the cultural background of a country. This will make you more at ease when dealing with people and understand the context of a conversation.

In addition you should also take time to practice your foreign language skills especially when it comes to the oral part.
