Studying at University

At the point I've been studying at the NSU for a bit more than 1,5 years. However, I remember well enough my first impression of being a freshman here, and I'm ready to express my opinion being a sophomore. 

I entered he NSU at the age of 17. It was right away I'd graduated from school. To be honest, I didn't notice any significant differences from studying at school. I had almost the same number of classes, not all of them were really interesting. The volume of homework didn't increase, but the time I spent at public transport did. So, for me it was just like school, but bit distant from home. 

The main difference from school that I've noticed was the period of exams and credit tests. At school I was calmer about all the tests and exams that I had, but here everyone was so nervous that I've become nervous too reluctantly. 

Now, looking backwards I can say that my first impression was right. The university is just a school for children who think that they are adult. I'm not really sure wether my opinion is right or not, but now this is it.

    express my opinion PREP being a sophomore
    It was right away I'd graduated from school: "AFTER" is missing
    the time I spent ***at (PREP) public transport
    it was just like school, but ART bit distant from home.
    Word Order: period of exams and credit tests > you first pass the tests and then have exams
    WTense: that I've become nervous too reluctantly > you are telling a story that was in the past
    looking ***backwards: WW check the difference b/w the "looking back" and "backwards"
    Here is the entry from PROMPT online: https://www.translate.ru/samples/ru-en/%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B4%D1%8B%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D1%81%D1%8F%20%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B4. Could you check it and add a comment about its common use?

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...
