Task 10. Valeria Koshechkina





          Hi there!   

         I'm glad to see you again:)

     
         So, during the last lesson we read a text about the harm of tourism, the pollution of natural places and so on. Honestlty, there were some words that I didn't understand and now I would like us to understand their meanings together.


         Here is the list of them:

1)To maximise the profits
2)To generate revenue
3)To outstrip supply

        Oh, yeah, by the way, I will use this dictionary to check the meaning                  https://sentence.yourdictionary.com/



1.To maximise the profits means to increase the profit, to make it maximum.

example: The company tried to maximise the profit from sales. 

2.To generate revenue

Revenue is the amount of money that a company actually receives during a specific period, including discounts and deductions for returned merchandise. 

example:   This important dimension of the programme sustains the level of quality required to generate revenue from these products.


3.To outstrip supply


To outstrip means to be or become greater in amount, degree, or success than something or someon

example: The demand for food in the war zone now far outstrips supply.


      Now I know how to use them and I hope it was useful for you too:)

      Lera, the examples in your post are taken from https://sentence.yourdictionary.com, and it's great because it's a very helpful resource. However, the idea was to make your own examples too.

A reflection note. Torgalo Elisaveta

                                                           A Reflection Note Our semester is coming to an end, and therefore I want to leave my impressions about the course of studying academic writing. Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
