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.

Article 2. How my writing has changed?

How my writing has changed? Our class of academic writings soon will end. It’s has been a really worthy work that has taught me a lot, I’ve gained some experience, definitely enriched my vocabulary and done hips of exercises. Therefore, it’s a high time to give a synopsis of what has altered throughout the year. In addition to it, I’d like to tell why it is important to have sublime skills of writing.  These days it goes without saying that it’s a crucial thing to have fairly good skills of writing. Why? Because from the cradle to the grave we are to produce our thoughts and these notions can manifest in verbal or writing format. We will write all our life, from small papers like messages to the more complicated ones like theses. Thus, it is important to have this kind of class by virtue of it helps us not only to express our feelings and thoughts on paper but also to be comprehended by others and that is what we all are seeking.  My previous essay can provide an apt backdrop how my w

Task 1 The article summary

          The article " ‘ I gave away our stuff’: the minimalists doing more with less" written by  Jo Thornhill   published in the Guardian 29/09/2019 is devoted to the discussion of decluttering and unconscientious consumption.            First, the author explains that more and more people are heading towards minimalistic approach of life. They live with less, can have substantial benefits for the environment and people’s state of mind, as well as their finances. He gives an example of Georgina Caro who  downsized the family home, gave away three-quarters of their possessions and now thinks much more carefully about every purchase. As a result, Caro and her partner, Phil Warne, who live in Cornwall with their two young children, no longer have any short-term debts and have halved their mortgage.           Than the journalist draws the readers' attention to the fact that minimalism doesn't mean that you denying yourself accommodation, it means you buy less thi

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 in this book. Tara: ‘Everything I had worked for, all my years of study, had been t
