Task 5. How to learn vocabulary. Vera Murashova, Kseniya Zhilina, Cherkasova Masha

Hello everyone!
We had a little discussion with Vera and Masha and came to the conclusion that nowdays we are very lucky to have an access to the Internet and use such convenient and helpful apps for learning vocabulary. Here are the most popular ones:

-"Quizlet";
-"FlashCards Anki";
-"Memrise''
-'Duolingo", etc.

There are different modes to learn the words like tests, cards, writing tasks and games. They can make your life easier, because they translate words automatically (also give a number of synonyms) and so you are not to waste much time checking dictionaries. Another advantage is the function of insonation that helps to remember words' right pronunciation. Moreover, it is possible to create modules with your own vocabulary on a certain theme and share it with other users. Furthermore, you have an access to their modules.
We hope that our idea would be useful for you to expand your vocabulary.

    As for us, Quizlet is the best way to assimilate and remember training material you need. Make your own cards and modules or choose from the millions of created by other users. Each month more than 30 million of students use this app for free. For example, it helps to prepare for exams and credits in the mode of learning, to test your memory in the mode of writing, to make records in the mode of game, to share your cards with friends, to hear the right pronunciation of texts. Moreover, this app is available on 18 languages!

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

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. 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...
