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?

My Dream Job

A disclaimer: the essay has nothing to do with me in real life. I've just made it all up. Hope you will understand my choice to arrange things this way.  Nowadays there are lots of huge and successful companies and corporations which a great number of young people strive to work for. While some people truly love medicine, history or sport, others find it fascinating to work in IT. However, all the spheres mentioned above have nothing to do with my preferences and dreams.  To begin with, I've always been interested in space. Not only did I watch lots of scientific films and series related to it when I was a child, but also I had plenty of magazines on this topic. Stars, galaxies and even aliens have always aroused my interest. That is why I decided to be an astronaut a long time ago. Now that I've grown up, I can see that this occupation has many advantages which I am satisfied with a lot.  Firstly, generally, this job is very important in terms of explor...

How my writing skills have changed

It’s great that we live in the era of technology nowadays, because there have been many things which I’ve learned this year using my computer and smartphone and I’ve successfully implemented them into my projects and essays, making them more structuralized and logical.     First things first, I’ve had a wonderful opportunity to improve my writing skills this year. Writing has always been my weak side as I considered the handwriting method to be an obsolete one. Thus, such an essential aspect of the English language didn’t elicit my interest at all and that is why I hated writing huge essays. However, everything changed when it was announced that I would work on my writing skills using technology. I realized then how great, fast and convenient it would be to study in such an entertaining way! Secondly, this course allows me to put a lot of words that I’ve previously learned into practice!   The method of memorizing lexis by using it in essays results in enriching my...
