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.

Essay 1

Nowadays, the global situation has changed completely: from our daily habits and routine to our ways and methods of working, studying, and simply ambling along the street. COVID-19 has locked the majority of the population in homes. Now that the planet has undergone such a dramatic issue, lots of other problems, unfortunately, have become overshadowed and Africa is not an exception. To begin with, the problem the world faces today has caused lots of governments to act on impulse, and thus chaos has ensued. The African continent has always been the poorest area on our planet which sanitation level has been the lowest one. Deceases, poverty and destitution are the factors which Africa is associated with by many people. However, the recent events have shown that the situation is going to worsen even more as employees are already being laid off because of the global shutdown. Consequently, a great number of people are at loss, because their governments can’t sustain the imploding ec...

Resources for Using English

The site I'd like to share with everyone is all about listening but not a simple one. The site specializes in listening to people from different countries, thus, providing a listener with the opportunity to differenciate the accents of some speakers. For example, we can turn on a conversation where one of the interlocutors can be from Sydney and the other one from Edinburgh. So, the site creates a very natural atmosphere where a person becomes completely involved into listening to different accents as if it is happening in real life. We can choose seven options of difficulty depending on the level of a listener. I do recommend everyone to challenge themselves by reaching the last level which is the toughest one. Undoubtedly, regular listening to the audio files which,by the way, are absolutely free to use here will enhance listening skills and familiarize people with lots of accents.
