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. [ "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.]


2.The twentieth was the period in the USA which lots of people symbolize with forbidden usage of alcohol and the increase of crimes committed which police could do nothing at all for a while.  It was also the time that represented the new era of music - jazz which had rapidly become known not only in America, but worldwide as well. Such prominent people as Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie nowadays are considered to be the real legends and their names reflect that period of time. The era created the type of woman who dressed and behaved in a particular way (mostly vulgarly) intentionally trying to get rid of the American past trends. [Kathleen Yancey, English 102 Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.]

3. More than 1000 deaths of bicyclers (generally, school-aged) are the reason of not complying with safety measures. Three-fourths of deaths are directly connected with head injuries. Thus, according to a study research, it is necessary to use a special helmet that protects the head and, in the event of falling, softens the force of hitting a pupil against the ground. Moreover, the helmet reduces the possibility of getting a blunt trauma by 85 percent.[ "Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers," Consumer Reports (May 1990): 348.]

4.Matisse is by far the best painter whose skillfully-painted pictures convey such a realistic atmosphere that makes the viewer gaze at what Matisse intended to depict. “The Gasbah Gate” illustrates the famous archway Bab el Aassa which is located at the southern part of the city. A different colour set: from ivory to rose in combination with bowaab and the watchful sentry make a painting look stunning.[ Peter Plagens, "Bright Lights." Newsweek (26 March 1990): 50.]

5.Although the statement about the Sears Tower's uniqueness remains a disputable issue, architects and engineers hardly give up on seeking for the highest building in the world. While speculating on the max height a building can boast, William LeMessurier designed a skyscraper which is approximately 0.5 high. This means that his creation doubles the height of the Sears Tower. Architect Robert Sobel is convinced that the technology we have can provide us with the opportunity to build 500-story skyscrapers. ["Reaching for the Sky." Dial (May 1990): 15.]

  1. Hello Sergey,

    Your paraphrased excerpts look all right.! You've managed to preserve the meaning of the original, while expressing the idea in your own words close to it. This is the point of paraphrasing. Do you have some tips for your peers to follow when paraphrasing which can help them to do it better?

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 domination

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, a m

Blog#3 Room 101

In my opinion, the Room 101 must contain the World's most global problems. Hopelessness, wars, diseases. I have put this words in such an order to demonstrate how one thing breeds another.  Hopelessness. A great example of hopelessness  is Adolf Hitler. If we take a look at this historical person at a different angle, we can observe that his actions were caused by his dreams not being embodied. To put it differently,his dream to become a painter was ruined because of one failed attempt to enter the university. Consequently, failure led him to the point where he desperately tried a number of options, opportunities that life offered him. After some time,Hitler was not fully satisfied with his life's achievements which resulted in  hopelessness. Thus, the Second World War broke out. Wars. I think I don't reinvent the wheel by stating that wars are the most horrible things in the world. Wars are full of hatred, violence, cruelty, blood, famine,etc. Throughout the history,
