Task 3


Картинки по запросу autumn cosy
 a) I have chosen this photo because of the autumn that has just started. It really expresses the coziness of this time of the year. You know,  when you come home (or dormitory) from the uni, and you had a really tough day with a lot of lessons. You sit down on your bed, get a big cup of cacao with marshmallow, cover yourself with the warm blanket and just have a rest, watching movies or youtube. Do you know this vibe?  I certainly do.















b) The first video that comes to my mind is  2 Interpreters Test Their Interpreting Skills (Speed Challenge) by WIRED. It shows the beauty and backstage work of the interpreting. Funny fact, that most of the time interpreters don't know what they are talking about during the interpreting. It makes me surprised how powerful can our brain be- one person listen to the speech from one language and immediately interpreters to another. 
Interpreting is a really hard work to do, it requires not only the pure interpreting but also the conveying emotions.

Room 101

It comes from nowhere and you can't stop it. Your body starts shaking and sweating.  The first thing to be mentioned is disgusting crawling insects and larvae. Just imagine that these creatures suddenly appear everywhere: falling on your head, making holes in the skin and laying larvae. They leave prints of mucus on your body. When one of the creatures penetrates inside, it starts sucking the organs. Then it eats out  paths through the organism making you suffer from agony till the painful death. You lose your life, and your body is in the hands of this monster. What could be worse???????!!!!!!!1 Secondly, there's a sound which leds to the overwrought angst. We think everybody hate really strong noise.  Certainly, after spending few minutes in a such room you would want to get out of there! This noise can effect not on us mentally but physically as well, for instance our pulse or inner pressure may raise or even worse our ears may start bleeding. We...

EDUCATED: A MEMOIR ​ BY TARA WESTOVER

For  my English reading class I have chosen a book which is called ' Educated: a memoir' , which was written by Tara Westover.                Actually, I have chosen this very book because it was recommended by Bill Gates in his  blog . I was hooked by this very phrase   Bill: ‘I thought I was pretty good at teaching myself—until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated. Her ability to learn on her own blows mine right out of the water.’​    As we can see on the book cover there's a pencil which is symbolised education and in this pencil there's a mountain, to my mind, it refers to both 2 things, firstly the mountain shows how hard is to be educated yourself (one of the themes in this book) and secondly, the author pays a lot of attention to mountains and nature itself, where the main character (=author) was raised.         The issue of liberal education is one of the main ones ...

Text vs Voice Messages

     I can't help but agree that nowadays it is crucial to be in touch with others via the Internet. There are a variety of different methods of communications using net such services as videochat, voicecall, email, audio massages and just regular messages. As text and voice messages are the most usable ones it is important to see the pros and cons of each because everyone sooner or later will deal with them.      Some people think it is more convenient to send voice messages. Firstly, it is obviously faster to speak than to type,  the average person speaks approximately 100 – 130 words per minute{1} and  the average person types between 38 and 40 words per minute. {2} Secondly, it is quicker to listen to messages than to read it. Moreover, another thing is that it is actually safer to send your voice instead of text while driving as you still pay your attention to the road but not to the screen of your phone. In addition to it, sending voice ...
