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.

Semester work assignment #1

  Russia-Ukraine: tentative progress at first talks for three years The topic I’ve chosen is connected to the Russian-Ukrainian issue that’s been unresolved for 5 years since the Crimea incident. The question is very controversial and the relationships between the two countries were tense, and situation still has not changed so far these days. I'd like to consider two periods in its development: what happened before the meeting and after it. It is necessary to say a few words about a certain period importance of this event The majority of European countries and the USA still consider Russian annexation of Crimea as an illegal action towards Ukraine. As an immediate response to Russia, lots of them imposed their sanctions on the Russian Federation which then resulted in the deterioration of the situation.  Thus, Russia was expelled from the G8 for such inappropriate behavior which led to the rapid decrease in influence of the country on the world stage. In addition, in 2014...

1 . Cousteau said that the Antarctic is an important area on our planet which contains the largest amount of ice on Earth. Ice itself creates/makes a balance between the cold ocean water and the warm tropic water by letting the cold ocean water cool the warmer one and, thus, preventing the temperature from either going up or down. But nowadays, it's getting harder to find this naturally created equilibrium because of the human's factor.

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...
