A Reflective Note_Alina Isaeva

A Reflective Note
Today I would like to share with you my impressions  about the activities we have been offered this semester. I think it was very useful. I learned a lot of new information, for example, how to write blog posts, how to avoid plagiarism. I improved my writing skills. I expanded my vocabulary by using special apps and reading articles from "The Guardian". It was really interesting to read articles from "The Guardian" because I learned a lot of amazing stories, events, facts, and informative news. It is a really great source of information. This course introduced me to the useful site https://sentence.yourdictionary.com. It helps me understand the meanings of words, their collocations.  Also, I enjoyed  teamwork in the classroom.  I can't say that something in our activity was useless. Our exercises and tasks were important and helpful. But  in the next semester I would like to have more discussions  and talks in the classroom. It would be great to discuss such topics as education, social networks,  hobbies, and success and failure . Besides, I would like to learn how to analyze works of other students and how to comment on their essays correctly. In conclusion, I want to say that our classes were very effective.

    Hello Alina,

    thanks for your reflection. I was glad to learn that for the most part the 1st semester of the course was quite useful and interesting for you. It's great that you started using some of the resources I've shared with you. Thanks for the suggestions you have made. Of course, we'll discuss some of the topics you have mentioned as they are all quite interesting for discussion, particularly from the students' perspective. I'll also plan to give you more practice to you and your peers in analysing your peers' works. Your willingness to learn to do It deserves special praise because not everybody finds it useful. However, as I mentioned several times this activity must bear fruit and in the end it can become a very useful tool for you.

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...
