A Summary- Alina Isaeva


Hello everyone!

I would like to share with you the article ‘I’m a full-time cat sitter’ written by  Matt Weatherall. It is devoted to the amazing story of a man who looked after 30 cats and it helped him save money on housing and cope with the fear of society.


The article states that one day a friend asked him to keep an eye on his cat during his departure, and Matt agreed. He liked this idea and started to do it seriously. He always loved cats, and thought that they were ideal companions thanks to their balanced character. The result was an interesting exchange; Matt lived free of charge in the homes of cat owners and economized on housing, and cat owners received free sitting with cats. Taking care of the cats Matt lived in a variety of amazing places and homes. Once he even celebrated Christmas in Bali. Moreover, cat sitting really helped him cope with his social anxiety. His mental health highly improved. Cat sitting made him feel comfortable and calm.


In conclusion, the author of the article said that when he would have his own house and his own family, he would have his own cat.

I really liked this interesting story from the life of an ordinary person.

    Hello Alina,

    this is indeed a very unusual story, which you summarised well, following the required conventions.

    Points to consider:

    helped him TO save money on housing and cope with the fear of ART society.
    the result was an interesting exchange; Matt lived free of charge: Punctuation > you used a semi-colon, while it is more appropriate to use a colon here because you explain the details of the agreement b/w Matt and the cat owners

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...
