I have tried the sports function of my mobile but it didn't worked well.
The first thing we should know about it is that this feature was developed to help the owner to manage his sporting activities. For this, this gadget provides a diary for registering the results, a program to test the sportsman's condition (these are some pre-defined exercises) and a function that measures the sportsman's performance while he is running, walking, cycling, rowing or stair stepping. I selected the running option. The length of my running path is 6.7 km (I know this thanks to Google Earth, the most useful program ever made. There is a web version, so if you don't want to install, visit this page) but my phone found it was 8.5 km. The reason may be that my phone is able to count the number of the steps and it calculates everything from this data. (and from my personal details such as my height, weight, etc) But my running path consists of a number of uphill and downhill sections with different inclines and for a certain distance, I probably step more upwards than downwards. I believe this feature was originally optimized for running on a flat ground. But I don't mind, I wouldn't have utilized the sports function anyway because my sport activity is not so sophisticated. I go jogging two times a week and perform the distance with running for three minutes and walking for one. And I make it in roughly fifty minutes and it never gets better but I'm not on it anyway. This is just enough for me in this way. You may ask then why I have chosen a sports phone. Well, besides the fact that it was very sympathetic with its flashlight and appearance, it resists extreme humidity and even the water, and survives when it's accidentally dropped. I'm unfortunately inclined to ruin things easily that's why I have chosen a hickory model.
By the way I get to know an interesting fact about my jogging: the distance requires 7784 steps from me. Other datas which are probably not exact values: burnt calories: 671 kCal; average speed: 9 km/h, duration: 53 minutes and 12 seconds.
I had my second lesson at my music teacher today. We learnt some new things. For example, the minim after the note G is called G-sharp. One minim has two names, depending on the direction we approach. Thus before G, we can find the G-flat, which is the same as F-sharp. I'm in trouble with the English names because many names exist for one conception. For example, the half note is also called as minim but while I was reading the Wikipedia, I found a third name called semitone. I get lost between these definitions. So I think, I won't bother about the English aspect of the theoretical part of the music from now on; I will rather return to this issue after I will have learnt everything in Hungarian. Now I'm going to continue the scales and other practices for my fingers.
