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?

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...

Eleven Steps

A woman in her early forties, who can be quite wise. A man in his sixties. The story begins in a remote cottage. Someone is kidnapped. It's a story about hatred. Your character takes control of the situation   The last sun beams lightened the hallway as Flora grabbed her car keys. She had a long way home ahead - the previous time Flora came to her remote sanctuary it took her about two hours by car. She didn't expect to be this overloaded with job, so setting out this late meant that she wouldn't see her daughter tonight. Little Keira had her own schedule, thus her grandma would sing her to sleep strictly at 10 p.m. Pity, but at least they'd definitely have breakfast together.    Flora commonly visited her cottage when she needed space and concentration for her work. Street rumpus wasn't very helpful for writing. Driving away she glanced at her small wooden house in the rear view mirror. She loved that place and for some reason didn't want to go. As if the fee...

Task 3

 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 p...
