  11. I've just read an interresting article in The Guardian by Amy Sedghi "Seven ways to keep exercising in the cold, dark winter months" (https://bit.ly/2Sm6Qzw) (accessed 3.12.2018)

  15. I was planning that the next task you'll have to do is to write the first draft of a For-and-against essay on one of the topics from V. Evans' book Successful Writing I shared with you during the previous class. As a reminder i have listed these topics below:

  20. Today I would like to share the reference details for the article that I have chosen.So I have just read an interesting article in The Guardian by Luisa Dillner "What’s the best diet for losing all the weight you put on over Christmas?", 5 Jan. 2018, https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jan/05/what-best-diet-losing-weight-dash-mediterranean I find it interesting to read because getting weight during Christmas or New Year holidays can be an actual problem for some people, and I find this article usefull as well, because here you can find diets which are best for short- and long-term weight loss, which are easiest to follow, which you are most likely to stick with – and which are unsafe because they don’t supply enough nutrients.
