A Reflective Note

      So, our semester is coming to the end and I would like to say a few words about this semester. 
      It was amusing enough because of the format. We have never written blogs before and I didn’t even know about the existence of this site. Moreover, the Guardian magazine deserves my special attention. I did not know that any aspects of European life could be found there. 
     But sometimes I didn'y understand some things. For example, is ir obligatory to choose one article from a magazine and write an essay or a sumury. I believe that this discipline should be done from the heart, since it is impossible to write a good essay when you are forced (especially when it is done at night). 
     What topics can be useful for us? Well, maybe "correct sleep patterns",  "how to relieve stress", or "how to stay always positive". Or just something from psychology.
     All in all, our studies were OK. I hope we will improve our performance next year!

    Hello Valeria,

    thank you for your reflection. I'm glad that you found some things useful and reflected on some more that were note quite clear. In the latter case you should have clarified them as soon as smth was not clear. Can I ask you to do kit in the second semester? You are quite right about the necessity to be more disciplined to succede in this course because it's rather time consuming among other things.

    Thanks for making some suggestions about possible topics for discussion. I'll try to include them into our classes.

    Good luck in the second semester!

                                                           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...
