An opinion essay. Valeria Koshechkina



What is Loneliness?

Well, this is a very strange and ambiguous state. On the one hand, it gives us a feeling of abandonment and neglect. It seems to us that no one loves us and does not show interest in our fate. On the other hand, loneliness can sometimes be desirable, because only by being alone we can put our thoughts in order.

            In the first case, people feel unnecessary. This feeling can lead to depression if a person does not learn to cope with emotions. The feeling of abandonment, betrayal, and deception causes a deep suffering. A person wants to close in himself from everyone and not to trust anyone. We can feel lonely for different reasons. For example, a close friend left us for some time, we broke up with a beloved one or quarreled with relatives. Sometimes a feeling of loneliness can arise simply because no one calls us and does not ask how the things are.

            However, there is another type of loneliness, when a person wants to be alone with himself. It does not depend on the number of friends. This person either took a break to understand himself, or he is an introvert, who does not need to communicate. One way or another, he chooses such a way of life himself and this should in no way prevent him from living.

            All in all, loneliness is not always a bad feeling, for some people it is even the only way out. I believe that a person always has a choice in his actions. If a man does not want to be lonely, he takes action. Of course, there are periods in life when you feel depressed, but this is usually not for long and then a person to help you appears.

      Hello Lera,

      you have chosen the topic for your essay that most of the people are concerned about some time in their life and managed to discuss it in a way that should not leave your readers indifferent. It is well-developed and also logical. However, you have not completed one of the requirements of this task which was to use some external source of information as a source of examples and supporting evidence.

      Hello Lera,

      First of all, I did not understand based on what you have written this essay. It seems that it is based on your own ideas, and yes, this is what you should do. However, in addition to it you had to use some external source of information, such a newspaper article or blog post on the topic you have chosen to discuss in your essay.

    Things to consider:

    It's not common to start answering the question posed in the essay question in the first sentence. As we discussed during the classes, the introductory paragraph is written in such a way as to gradually bring your readers to the issue the essay is devoted to.

    Mechanics:

    does not learn HOW to cope with emotions
    The feeling of abandonment <...> causes **a (ART) suffering

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...
