Letter to my dear alien friends!

Dear friends,

While observing the different planets, I found out, that in the world there are a lot of the places, which are better than our boring Mars.

Now, I’m at the Earth. It is a beautiful planet, you know. And here I can see a lot of different houses, that are similar to ours, I even can say, that our houses were just reproduced in order to be as pretty as these.

So, I send you the video, to show, what I have seen firstly. This nice street is situated in the quiet quarter and I think it is on the outskirts of the city.

Here I see a lot of traditional up to date terraced houses, they are quite big, so I can suggest, that inside they are cosy and spacious with modern décor and stylish furniture. Every house has a porch.

Behind one of the houses, I found a shed, and a cellar. I can’t enter the rooms, but through the double-glazed windows, I can see fully-equipped kitchen, many interesting ultra-modern devices and airy fully-furnished luxurious hall with wonderful ornaments and potted plants. Some of the houses also have a balcony.

I think, that you should visit the Earth, too. Believe me, we can make here very interesting performance to give the people idea to make that funny films, which they call “horror”. I’m looking forward to you!

Yours,

Karl

It was a real effort to stop the utter chaos in my train of though at the beginning of the trimester, But now, it is the last session and it is a time to sum up some prons and cons of our Vocabulary course. 

In fact, there were just few minuses;

1. Making a blogposts takes a lot of time. as for me,  I was doing some of the posts during 3 hours or thereabouts.

2. I think, that the task, that demands such a long period of time sould be more rewarding.

But, as a metter of fact, the course brough me an enormous benefits.

Firstly, using different virtual tools was phenomenally interesting.

It was very useful for me to find out, that there are a lot of cool sites to keep improving of the learning English.

Also I think, that I get the ability to use a combination of different collocations and learn how to combine the words related to unsimiliar topic in one text promptly.

Sometimes it was quite difficult to accomplish the task, because I was stressed out due to our rigorous schedule. And some of the tasks were considerably difficult to achieve and demanded to switch on all your initiative and enterprice.

Also, I faced the prospect of getting harmful by-product of procrastinating. 

Everybody should remember that the practice makes perfect and try to improve our skills.

Comments!)

It was difficult) Procrastinating is a very bad habit with awful by-product! ;)

Gestures)

  Have you ever observed the people’s behavior in café, at the street or even in films?

  Many people think that actions speak louder than words. Today there are many stereotypes and due to them people can jump to conclusions and misinterpret some gestures.

  There is well-known stereotype, that girls fiddle with their hair when they fancy someone. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t mean that she is flirting, she can be just thoughtful.

  Easier said than done. So I tried to be observant, and looked out for different kinds of student’s gestures.

  By and large, students go red, when they are angry and have sweaty palms and when they are nervous about some event, or when they are not confident. When they have some doubts, they try to avoid an eye contact, and, on the contrary, when they respect their interlocutor. Both of this types of body language they can have when they have some bad intensions, for example, desire to write off ;).

  I add these funny pictures and want to see in comments your interpretations of the feelings at the photos)

New Life After Retiring!

  It was beautiful October morning. The sunrise was golden and red, so day promised to be warm and sunny.

  James woke up at 7 o'clock. He was full of innermost thoughts. He felt uneasy and wanted to pour his feelings out, but his heart told him to be guarded. Yesterday he retired and he was searching for new hobby. He looked at his shelf and saw many photos. He had worked in advertising agency and last ten years his business was booming. But he needed a new inspiration to reduce stress! Suddenly, he came across a photo of ocean and he remembered, that he took an interest in photo long time ago. So, he decided to spend this autumn day riding on his bike and looking for amazing landscapes.  He went to the garage, but found out that his old friend is broken. James was gutted. But he was as stubborn as a mule, so he decided to repair it just now. It had turned out that only one detail was rusty, it was just a by-product of non-using during a long period of time, so James changed it ably.

  He sat at his bike and went to the shop, he needed to consult an expert about choice of photo camera. After buying a good camera, he was driving on the road. James was ecstatic, because in the shop he had met his old friends, who sold him this camera with very nice discount.

  Suddenly James paid his attention to the car ahead of him. There was an inscription “A-Z”. James thought about interpretation of it. After a few minutes he made a conclusion. His retiring doesn’t mean the end of the life. He still can live his life to the fullest, from A to Z!

  At this time he lost a focus on the road, and nearly crashed into the car in front of him. Fortunately, his instinct said him to back off. But in the minute he understood, that it wasn’t his fault. It was something wrong with that car. He almost lost his temper. But he made himself to bottle his emotions up and decided to found out the cause of this happening. When he went closer, he saw, that the driver feel bad. The car stopped, and James stopped too. The man said that he need a doctor. James called the ambulance. When the doctor helped the man, James went on.

  He stopped near the ocean and made a few photos. His soul was in state of sheer calmness. The ocean absorbed his bad vibes. He wandered along the beach for two hours.

  When he came back home, there was an admirable sunset. And, of course, James made a photo of it in memory of the day that was a beginning of his new life.

My favourite English quote.

Very often, when somebody ask something, he knows what he wants to hear. As there is a great number of people all over the world, so there is giant amount of types of character. When the person is subconsciously sure, that he is surrounded by bad-tempered people – he will see no charitable soul around. And when person trusts people, believes in their virtuous plans and intension, he will live his life between cordial and hearty people. Everywhere are good and bad people. But everybody can see just what he wants to see. Only sincere desire can help you to open up and find out some warm ray of sunshine. Every heart has the sun, just let it shine. When we are listening to the composition of famous performer, every of us is thinking about different thoughts, every of us is disturbed by different memories. In every masterpiece of art – a picture, a sculpture, an architecture – we are searching for exactly detail, excite inside of us volcanic swirl of emotions and feelings. We can read the same books, but draw different knowledge, make different conclusions and underline different quotes, which in our consciousness are associated with fixed memories and reflections. And to see life  from different aspects, you need to have close friends, whose ornament of brain is dissimilar to yours.

Fairytale)

  Once upon a time, two dictionaries lived. They were two best friends - Oxford and Longman. They were very comparable, and both of them were known as reputable dictionaries, which always were helpful for people and had a large following all over the world. Certainly, there was competition between them, but nevertheless, it was temporarily. 

But sometimes some sircumstaces make us to reflect on our acts. 

  Once, there was some disput between friends about some word. And Oxford unwarily said, that Longman  cannot explain this word not because of  it is inexplicable, but because he didn't know this word. This phrase was very emotive and Longman was deeply offended, so he replied that, perhaps, he mistook his for a friend. Oxford was shocked at these heartless words, because so many years they were nearest and dearest for each other and Oxford answered that it were unforgivable words.  After this quarrel they lost contact with each other. Soon they regreted about it, but their pride prevented them to get hold of each other.  One day, Longman received a postcard, in which his old friend Robert from France proposed him to make a visit. 

  Longman felt absolutely lonely last days, so he decided to go there and to have fun. It promised to be very eventful trip, so he finalized his plans and went to France, although he was sure that it would be pointless without Oxford. The Roberts' housing was very comfortable, spacious and fully furnished, so he hoped to led himself away from sad thoughts.

  Meanwhile, Oxford arrived in France. And when he had knew, that Longman also decided to visit Robert, he was very happy. He realized that  it was his fault and he was very apologetic.  

  When Longman arrived at the airport, Oxfor was waiting for him there. Two friends extered each other, they were happy to see each other again. Our dictionaries enjoyed this trip to France. 

  The moral of this farytale: if you cannot do something, you can always rely on the support and help from other people. Don't miss your friends!:)

Letter to My Peers from the Past

Hello, my dear friends!

I'm very glad to write you again. Unfortunately, we lost touch with each other, because of some my problems, but I can promise you that it will never happen again. 

I know that you are a little out of touch with recent inventions. So, English is almost the most widely language in the world nowadays. And there are many different ways to make your learning English easier. It is a big benefit today to have an acces to the Internet where you can find a large amount of useful sites. So I want to speak my mind about some of them and tell you the difference between them.

The first site that I want to advise you is graphwords.com . I believe that this site is very helpful for those who are looking for synonyms to some word. At this picture you can see example. I sought synonyms of the word "whistle".

To add to it, this site is very easy to use. 

The next site I want to introduce is fraze.it . Using this site is very comfortable to those who want to see the word in the context. I can surely say, that pepole that use this site, will certainly be at an advantage. The results of this site can be connected with every field. Here some examples of the context of phrase "figure of spech":

- "... for an accounting of corruption and mismanagement in the Agency for International Development. The AID administrator's dejection-if not his figure of speech-was understandable.In the past month, three separate cases of "irregularities," resulting in the suspension or resignation..."

-"... theories of meaning have a concept of "literal language" (see literal and figurative language).Under theories that do not, figure of speech is not an entirely coherent concept. Rhetoric originated as the study of the ways in which a source text can be transformed to suit the goals..."

The next site I want you to pay attention is Just the Word.

At this site you can find alternatives and combinations of word that you need.

For example:

I hope, that my pieces of advice will be valuable for you. Because learning English is problem with no easy solutions and it becomes apparent that today with the modern technologies not only native speakers and habitents, where English is the official language can know English well. You just need to have a sincere desire. I wish you an inspiration and good luck in learning English.

Yours, Julia 

"My First Vocabulary Class"

It was the 2nd day of the autumn. And it was my first vocabulary class. 

When I came to the audience, I was glad to see 5 familiar faces, but I was late and it was narrow escape, because our teacher came in a minute after me. So, the noise in the audience died down and our lesson was started. At first I wasn't entirely happy with this subject, so as to learning new words by heart is considerable difficulty. But the lesson was quite interesting. And then I heard that we need to create blog.

 "What?? Blog? Are you kidding me?". In fact, I didn't know, how to create blog and I was sure, that I would have to make a real effort to write sth here. And it was true.

When I came home, I tried to do my homework. Oh my God! How much force I spent to understand all this. But I faced the prospect of the possible results of my laziness.

However, now I'm writing my first blogpost and I can say that I'm content of it. Perhaps, I'm even under the impression of doing this task. 

In conclusion, don't miss the opportunity to overcome your bad habits, and then you can open sth new and interesting for you.
