Hi.

This is a photo of a cafe above the clouds.
There are people sitting on white plastic chairs at white tables on the wooden deck of the cafe.

One waiter is standing at a table and taking their orders.

The most attracting ATTRACTIVE point is that the deck is on the clouds, which lookS like white sea. On IN the background, there is a mountain top which looks like an island on the white sea.

The sky is blue and it is quite A sunny day.

There are other higher clouds in the sky. (Other CLOUDS HIGHER IN THE SKY.)

In Japanese, the clouds which look like white sea are called "Unkai (=the sea of the clouds)", which is a very strange and beautiful natural phenomena in a certain location, in a certain condition of weather.

I wonder if it (IS) should be cold, though the people's clothes tell me that the temperature is not so low.

I will check this out later supperman. PS: the photograph does not come up on here.

Thanks, I too can't see the photo.
I'm going to fix it. ("Fix" might not be proper here. If so, "I'm going to correct the location of the website of the photo.")

Here is a picture (mental frame) of me in my room typing on the computer key board.

The room is a rectangle cube, 4 meters in length, 3 meters in width. It is brightly lighted by two fluorescent electric tubes. There are two window at both sides of the room, one facing north and the other facing south. In the middle of the room is a sturdy and simple, white table which constructed mostly of metal frame and a chip-wood made bench top. On the table is a black Dell Vostro laptop which looks over used by the wear and tear. A figure of a young man, in his twenties, is sitting in front of the table. His back is slightly crooked, leaning toward the computer screen. Both his hands rest firmly on the key board and his finger seems to move and dance in unison to the keyboard's music. The man is completely engrossed to his own affairs and seems to be oblivious to his surroundings. It had been many days, perhaps months since the figure of the man appeared in this picture, typing away all his thoughts and sorrow; as if he had become and inanimated object, a part of the scenery itself rather than a living being.

Dell Sx260
 
Hi.

Mine is a DELL too. SX260, the tiny little black one. ;)

Your description (or poem) could be, more or less, applied to all of us in this forum. :eek:

I feel humor and pathos in it.

wolfrainvn 07-26-2011 01:07 PM

LOL, Hi
I love my Dell too. I am going to take my IELTS exam soon so i plan to practice my english writing at every chance i have, but poem (ha ha ha), you really over estimate me.

Hi, again, wlofrainvn,
so, you are not a native-English speaker, are you? Where are you from?

もしかして、日本人?(You might be a Japanese? Because this is Japanese forum.)

Or, is the test IELTS for native-English speaking people?

wolfrainvn 07-26-2011 01:41 PM

I am not a native English speaker. I come from Vietnam (Vietnamese), currently living in Australia. I hope to get a permanent visa in Australia and one of the requirements is an IELTS test (International English Language Testing System) which is a international standard test for English skills.

I joined this forum a few years ago because I really liked amine and manga (LOL). I thought I could talk about them here, but I lost interest in them after a while. Now. I usually browse the forum when I am bored. I wouldn't minds study Japanese though, ha ha.

this is a good description.

Actually, "Fix" is proper here.
