Post-2: Blog use training


The picture I have chosen is connected with the memories I have about my journey to St-Petersburg. In particular, I mean Saint Petersburg's subway,for I have been there only once. The design that is quite unusual completely astonished me.Also, the subway is situated deeply under the ground,I mean even deeper than the Moscow subway system which amazes me. I can still recollect the moments when I had to stay there for nearly 2 minutes to get to the lowest level of the subway. In comparison to the Novosibirsk subway, it seemed to me an endless under-the-ground journey.

The clip: "10 глупых вопросов СИНХРОННОМУ ПЕРЕВОДЧИКУ" was published on September 24,2019
I have found this video extremely interesting since I am specializing in learning foreign languages. Being a simultaneous interpreter is an extremely challenging job because they must analyse the information they have received and, with the average pause of 3 words,  translate it into their native language or even vice versa. This occupation requires a lot of life experience, a cold head, and an ability to quickly handle stress.Moreover, I want to point out  how the woman's speech is perfectly organized in Russian. I mean, an interpreter must know on the high level their native language as well as the second one. In my opinion, that is what makes this job even tougher to master.

    Nikita,

    thanks for your story about your experience in St. Petersburg's metro. Even though it's rather brief, it gives your reader a chance to experience the same feelings and emotions you had when you were there. And this is what a good description should achieve.

    And I'd like to comment on your post about the clip with tips and advice to simultaneous interpreters. Indeed this job is very challenging and requires a profound mastery of a variety of different skills as well as very broad education. On top of which an interpreter needs to have an expert mastery of the languges. Do you agree with me and what have you done to rich this level of mastery?

    Natalia,
    I absolutely agree with you. I personally have done nothing yet because of the time I have to spend on doing loads of homework. So, it's unlikely that I'm going to take any course on simultaneous interpreting until the following summer, and yet I have some plans in view.

Wokring on improving my skills to make a better thesis statement

1. In the era of electronics, computers are likely to be found in most of educational institutions or companies so that people can have more opportunities to learn or work with the help of technology. 2. Although the judge has not been yet provided with strong evidence against Scott Peretson, implication in a crime of the latter is still a disputable question. 3. The results of the recent survey detected that hamsters are considered to be by far the cutest rodents because of their fur. 4. Lots of middle-class people in America claim that colleges charge high tuition, however, not only do they provide students with specific knowledge that is necessary for their future work, but also they teach students how to think out of the box. 6.Although traditionally people make New Year’s resolutions about cutting weight, the recent research showed that only 30% of such people have enough discipline and persistence to make their wishes come true. 7.Prejudiced attitude towards new hip-h...

The Financier

The Financier I chose to read a novel 'The Financier' written by Theodore Dreiser. Honestly, I had a choice to make: to read Martin Eden (the book which I had already read in Russian) or to read the Financier which was  completely new  book to me. I decided to give it a go and start reading the Financier. It's important to mention that I enjoy reading such books as they encourage their readers to act like the main characters, to achieve their own success through constant struggles and adversities. The book cover doesn't contain a lot of info about the plot. It only briefly tells a reader about the author(1). 'The Financier' is based on real-life of streetcar tycoon whose real name was Charles Yerkes.  I reckon the main theme of the book is competition or, to put it in another way, a financial war. It symbolizes Frank's determination in gaining his goals and his desire to have an upper hand over everyone competing with him. He wants total ...

Post-4 Interesting-topics for discussion

To begin with, I’d like to mention that the diversity of our thoughts depends on what we do or see to enrich our mind. So, personal preferences breed our interest in something and create a variety of topics we’d like to discuss or share. To me, there are three topics I’d like to draw attention to: cyber sport, movies, and social networks. I have chosen cyber sport because I’ve been playing computer games since I was 10. Nowadays, game industry has rapidly developed, and the number of people who are into games has also increased. So,games have played a considerable part in my life as well. On the one hand, to me, they are both enjoyment and relaxation, and, on the other hand, they helped me to get rid of some stress moments. The next thing I’d like to talk about is movies. I have a friend who is keen on movies,especially on drama films. As a result, I caught this "drama infection" from him. Thrillers and horrors are the genres I hate mostly because none of them will...
