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 vocabulary. In addition, not only is the interface of the blog I use colourful and stylish, but also I can easily read my works any time I’d like to because they are all kept on my page and I don’t have to flip through tons of pages in my notebook searching for the particular essay. Not to mention a huge advantage of this course which is the opportunity to receive a quick feedback from our teacher. Previously, I had to wait quite a considerable amount of time for the lesson, which was once a week, to have my essay checked, but now I can message the teacher via WhatsApp or I can see their feedback in the comments section on my blog page.
Thirdly, it helped me to identify my strong and weak sides. Although my writing skills are yet far from the ones I am eager to achieve, I still have a zest for constant enhancement of my skills so that one day I could be fully satisfied with myself. Unfortunately, my inattentiveness occasionally results in mistakes, but it’s not really much of a problem, as I truly believe that by practicing, dedicating yourself to work hard anything can be achieved.
All things considered, I am deeply thankful for the course. I experienced lots of ups and downs, learned how important it is to stick to the structure of the essay, so that it can be written in a more sophisticated, eloquent, and refined way. Thank you for the priceless gift we all now have – the advanced level of writing!

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...

Post-6

Chinese people tend to forget characters throughout their lives because of technological progress: mobile phones, laptops, Ipads, etc. According to the video , not only can’t older people write down some characters, but also lots of teenagers find it difficult to remember such widely used characters as, for example, a tooth paste, obscene, etc. In my opinion, it’s becoming a national problem in China. Nowadays, there are lots of surveys in China that draw people’s attention to characters and their remembrance. To begin with, such surveys have several goals to achieve: to show the Chinese people how the world has influenced their culture and language and what can be solved or done to prevent such problems to occur in the nearest future. For example, the number of people using laptops and gadgets has increased for the recent fifteen years and that is why the need in handwriting slightly decreases over the years. People would rather text each other in their gadgets than write somethi...

  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...
