Ai nevoie de un pașaport pentru a calatori în strainatate.

“Last week, I joined a group to learn how to cook Romanian food.”
Have you ever tried Romanian food? Um, you should try. I really like a dessert called Papanasi. It’s kind of like a donut. It has some cheese in it and jam on top with some sour cream. It’s really nice. Crust but also sweet and sour at the same time. Um, a delight.

“to get a tan.”
Ea a stat la piscina toata ziua ca sa se bronzeze.
“She laid out by the pool all day to get a tan.”
The thing is, I have very white skin. So I usually get red and then I get a tan and that’s why like for most people, it’s easy to get a tan but not for me. But I do like the sun and I like playing out in the sun. And if I get a tan on top of that, it’s great.
