Post-4: Room 101

-


    1. People talking loudly in public transport annoy me so much. They discuss their problems and their work so that everyone can hear them. I absolutely don’t care what affairs they have. It is indecent to tell everything about your private life in transport, especially in details. That’s why it is always better to bring headphones with you. 

    2. Another thing is shop assistants who always stay near you and watch everything you are doing. I can’t stand it. I want to share my opinion about something that I like, but I can’t because a shop assistant is nearby and she will probably hear everything. I want some privacy and if I need some help I will call a shop assistant by myself.

    3. People living not far from their school/university/work always tend to be late. They are sure that they need little time to get to their destination. That’s why they can’t time themselves and are always late. Children and got used to be late since childhood and continue doing it in their future life. I really appreciate such quality as punctuality.

    Thanks for sharing your opinion about the things you find annoying. My attitude to being late is similar, though unfortunately I can be late myself because of not very good time management. I'm trying to improve it and hope I'll manage to do it better. Can you share some time management tips that work for you?

Russia doping scandal Wada acts on Russian doping but has it gone far enough? ( https://cutt.ly/Xe6fWPL )   by Sean Ingle. Posted 9.12.2019. Accessed 11.12.2019     It is generally known that many people are waiting for the next Olympic Games; and so do I. That is why I have chosen an article about the Olympics. I can call myself a real fan of a number of different sport’s kinds. Without a doubt, every fan would like to see his or her country’s flag and to hear the national anthem. Frankly speaking, I was really devastated when I heard about Russian athletes’ ban to go to the 2020 Olympics; and I decided to go to the Guardian And check this information.     This article describes the events connected with doping which started in 2011. It is said that Russian athletes have taken “a cocktail of banned substances” in. Because of it their results became better, and it was surprising for other sportsmen and their countries’ representatives. After ...

Post 7: Interesting topics for discussion

Topics for Discussion     Here are topics which I am interested in: 1.  Do smartphones increase or decrease workplace productivity? 2.  How does giving each student access to an iPad or laptop affect their studies? 3.  Do children who attend preschool do better in school later on? 4.  How much exercise should the average adult be getting each week?     The most captivating topics for me are education, technologies and health. It’s easier to write about them all because they relate to my life. I can give examples relying on my own experience and on advice of other people. Obviously, it’s better to write about things you are aware of. I’m not really good at politics, foreign history, arts or religion. That’s why I have chosen those topics. Do children who attend preschool do better in school later on?     Arguments for children who attend preschool: 1. Professional teachers will help small kids to study everythi...

Duolingo         Nowadays learning foreign languages is much easier than it was before. You can find a great variety of apps on the Internet that will ease your process of learning.     Duolingo   https://ru.duolingo.com/     My favourite app is Duolingo. It is absolutely free and available for both Androids and iOS. If you are not a beginner you can go to the higher levels immediately. Moreover, you can practise here writing, speaking, reading and listening. There is a plenty of exercises. There are no boring lectures, you just have to answer short questions to check your knowledge. What is more, a pretty green owl will remind you of studying daily.     I really enjoy speaking tasks, as I can talk to this app as if I were talking to a real person. There are many captivating topics for discussion which really develop your usage of vocabulary. For example, I am really fond of discussing family relations and there are intere...
