Task 10. Valeria Kazachenko

Hello, everyone!

During the last lesson we were reading the text about tourism. As for me, there were some expressions I couldn't fully understand. Of course, I can't just ignore them.

This dictionary helped me to understand the meanings of these expressions:

1)To outstrip supply

To outstrip means: to be or become greater in amount, degree, or success than something or someone.
A supply means: an amount of something that is available for use.

Ex.: The laws of economics state that when the demand for a commodity begins to outstrip supply the price will rise.

 2) To be implemented in
 To implement means: to start using a plan or system.

Ex.: That successful model could be implemented in other countries where kidnapping was common.

3)To generate revenue
To generate means: to cause something to exist.
A revenue means: the income that a government or company receives regularly.

Ex.: The Internet can generate revenue for everyone.


Thanks for reading. I hope we all learned a little more new vocabulary. If you have any questions, feel free to ask:)

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.
