A Reflection Note Aleksandra Ushakova

Reflection Note 

The semester has just ended and it's time to express my opinion about it. To begin with, this semester passed really fast and there were really a lot of lessons missed due to some circumstances. So, we didn't do a lot of work. However, even from the tasks we've done I learned something new and interesting. For example, as we wrote some summaries on different articles from the Guardian, I think I finally understood how to do it correctly and how to avoid some mistakes that can appear in it. 

As for some topics we discussed, I was really interested in the topics about education in other countries. I think it is rather useful information for us as we are future linguists and we are to communicate with people of different nations and cultures, so this information can help us to understand the background of those people. To write a summary on the presentation from a conference was really interesting too. Not only did I practice my skills on writing summaries, but I, also, learned some new information about how to teach people taking into account their individual differences. 

All in all, this course was an interesting experience for me. It was really unusual to work in Blogger, but as I got used to typing instead of writing it turned out a really pleasant thing to do. However, I think that there could be a bit more diversity of topics and forms of works. For instance, it may be interesting to discuss some vital problems that worry everyone right now. It also can be useful to write something like reviews on films or books that can give some food for thought. In general, I liked this course and it was useful.

    Hello Sasha,

    thanks for your reflection on the course and the activities you were offered. You've reviewed in a rather detailed way what we did and what the value of the activities you had was. I agree with you that the course could benefit from a larger variety of tasks, and will try to do it in the future. The reason why I did not do it with you is that I thought you needed more practice mastering things you were asked to do.

    Thanks again for your thoughtful reflection! Good luck with your studies in the future!

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...
