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.
How to Send A Voice Message on iPhone
     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 is for sure easier because you do not have to care about the punctuation, misspelling or capital letters.
     However, others think that it is not always quite appropriate to send voice messages as it is not polite to listen to message during, for instance, a conference or a meeting. From my personal experience, people who tend to send voice message are more likely to say unnecessary information in it and sometimes it is very annoying.
    As for me, I prefer not to use voice messages because I like typing and I think it is more "energy-taken" for our brains. (keeps it in fit). I would never contact my teacher or boss via text, call, Twitter, Facebook or voice mail, at least if she or he starts the conversation themselves there.
     In the future I think people will communicate more and more via voice and I'm not really happy of it.

  1. Sergey,

    thanks for your essay. It's quite informative and well-written. What I liked a lot about it is that you have used some interesting examples for support.

    Two things to consider in the future:

    1. Try to make your concluding paragraph more memorable by using one of the techniques for conclusions. Check the blog's Help Pages
    2. References: it's not enough to just provide the links: full reference details are necessary. Check the blog's Help Pages: at https://bit.ly/2wTtXMD

  2. Some Gr/Lang points to revise:

    a) quicker to listen to messages than to read it: can you spot the mustake?
    b) people who tend to send voice message: either an article is necessary or a change in the Ns number
    c) Nice try at new word formation: "energy-taken" for our brains but there is a word "energy-consuming" activity. Which one do you like more?
    d) keeps it in fit: prep use

    keeps it in fit: what does IT refer to?

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...

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 doe...

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...
