To effectively discuss the works of other people, you need to write yourself well. We usually express our opinion in turn, and then someone does not agree if he or she believes some point of view is wrong. In fact, it is quite difficult, everyone looks at things differently, so it is not easy to come to a general conclusion.  When you discuss the work, think about what everyone has said, perhaps it will be useful for you in writing your own works. But never speak out sharply against, because it is important not to hurt the person. Be sure to name the aspects that you really liked, explain why, because it is very important to show that there was something interesting, even if you did not like generally. Listen to other people, take into account what was said, agree with them, if now you changed your mind.

Summary

Hello everyone! I needed to find some article for the summary you're reading now, but all the articles seemed boring or not controversial enough to me. It took me a really long time to find one unusual article on the Guardian, so I want to share what I read. This article tells us about five women who have no children. Each calls her personal reason for this state of affairs. They're all in their 30s, some in their 50s. Usually we are used to seeing one thought concerning childfree: a woman wants to live for herself, does not want to spend time, effort and money on a child. Therefore, many people speak out against such women, calling them selfish, because they believe that the main task of women is to continue the race. But no one ever thought that the reasons for childfree are not always in selfishness. One of the women says that she just does not want to have children. She does not see herself as a mother, does not think that this will make her life happy. Another woman coul...

. A reflective note

The second semester of our course was no less interesting than the first one. During this time we have written really important works that have helped me to develop my writing skills. It was very useful to repeat the theme of the thesis statement. I think my group mates now have a good understanding of how to write essays and other types of texts. I really liked the assignment where we had to write our stories. Now at the University we do not receive such tasks, so it was interesting to try ourselves as writers. If to say that was not very useful, as for me it was the discussion of our works in the group. I think the work should be more individual, and discussing takes a lot of time. At the beginning of the semester, I also enjoyed writing some texts for the guide book assignment. I am also happy that our lessons were not limited to the discussion of writing an essay, and we still discussed the problems of the modern world. I hope that my group mates also liked this course, and they l...

A for-and-against essay

Reality TV shows a good entertainment   In the modern world television does not play an important role in the lives of many people, but many of us still spend a lot of time watching our favorite program. Sometimes I watch something on TV when I'm bored. Everyone perceives TV in different ways: someone watches TV from boredom, and someone is looking forward to a new entertainment program. People argue about the usefulness of the entertainment media, they believe that it shows just garbage that can not be comprehended. Although some people believe that TV should not carry something serious, so that's okay. Who's right? Some people are sure that, in our time, television increasingly destroys moral and psychological foundations, destroys ideals and carries cynicism and dirt. Television today is spiritless, it does not develop personality, does not serve self-improvement, but, on the contrary, it contributes to the moral degradation of society.The role of telev...
  A boy of 16 and a man of late thirties stood silently looking at the grave. The boy barely held held back tears, but tried to stay calm. The man looked unpertubed, as if it wasn't his brother's grave.    -Why are you whining? -I'm sorry, I just can't help it.- the boy said and sniffed. The day before yesterday they learned about the death of his brother. No one understood what happened, he just shot himself in his own apartment, although there was no reason for it. The police tried to find the suicide note, but found nothing. All relatives and friends claimed that this person just had no reason to die. He had a great job, a lot of friends, and a young pregnant wife was waiting for him at home after work. At the funeral, everyone wept, especially the younger brother. He grieved the most. The middle brother did not shed a tear in the ceremony, his face even read some joke.    "But why? How could he do this to us?" -the boy whispe...

Useful resources about writing

Hello, everyone! I'd like to share with you one website which is related to English writing. I guess you are familiar with it . This website contains a lot of information concerning Advanced Vocabulary, Advanced C1 writing and etc. This resource can help you write well-structured texts about different subjects. Moreover, I think most of us can write essays, but we are not familiar with other genres such as articles, proposals, reports, emails and etc. This website outlines all the stages of writing, for example, an essay. There are many tips that can allow you to write an excellent text. Also there are some tasks that will help you learn the material better. This resource will be useful for students and novice teachers, but I believe that some articles, for example, writing a business email, will be useful foe everyone. I like the way the authors of the articles clearly formulate the idea, for instance: - Organize the letter clearly into:      The reason ...
