Julia, Sasha and I have discussed that everybody had chatted with their foreign pen friends. Besides,as we have to write course papers, we had read different books in English.
ReplyDeleteWhere do your pen friends live?
DeleteThey are from Argentina and Egypt :)
DeleteI chatted with my friend from Brazil on Facebook. We had a talk about difficulties of different languages and discussed each other's determinations for the future. We found out that Portuguese and Russian languages have many phonetic similarities.
ReplyDeleteGreat! By "determinations" you mean plans for the future, don't you? I'm afraid "determination" is only used in singular, while its meanings are as follows:
Deletenoun
1.the quality of being determined; firmness of purpose.
"those who succeed because of sheer grit and determination"
Synonyms:resolution, resolve, resoluteness;
2.the process of establishing something exactly by calculation or research.
"determination of molecular structures"
Synonyms: calculation, discovery, ascertainment, establishment, fixing, deduction, divination, diagnosis, discernment, check, verification, confirmation
"the first determination of the speed of light"
It is rather questionable, as different dictionaries give various meanings and grammatical features, but I won't argue :)
DeleteDuring the semester break Teresa, Alyona and I were just relaxing from the hard session that is why we didn't write a lot. But sometimes we were chatting in English with each other. Unfortunately, we all don't have friends from another countries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. Pity you didn't have more practice writing but it's good you had some speaking practice

DeleteTereza, Alyona and I have discussed the topic connected with types of student classes. We came to a conclusion that each type of classes is favourable for learning. The first one is more appropriate for the lectures and theoretical subjects. As for the second one, it is better for practical lessons and seminars. This type of classes can unite students, and teachers can get a feedback from the audience.
DeleteWe would prefer both variants because sometimes it is good to combine and change the way of studying. Moreover, it depends on the type of the lesson and type of university.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with your peers and me. Indeed how the class is taught depends on its goals and objectives. Can you remember and share with your peers and me an example of a particularly memorable class you had? What made it so memorable? Also, if you could remember an example of a class which for some reasons was not so succeful and share it too, it'd be great.
DeleteDuring my semester break I didn't write any posts in English. A couple of times I chatted with my friends in English and commented some other's posts.
ReplyDeleteWhat social networks did you use?
DeleteThanks for your question.
DeleteRimma, I used VK and Instagram.
DeleteTo be honest, Yana and I did not write anything special in english. However, we had an opportunity to improve our language skills during our vacations by communication with foreign friends using social networks, such as: VK, Instagram, Facebook and so on...
ReplyDeleteDuring the semester break I haven't written any posts in English. Maybe I just commented some english videos on YouTube:)
ReplyDeleteCan you share with us the information about what videos you watched? Why you chose them?
DeleteDasha and I were chatting in Enlish during the semester break. Unfortunately, we didn`t write any essays or summaries.
ReplyDeleteGreat! But can you add what you chatted about? Did you learn anything interesting?
DeleteFrom Vakarina A. and Chernigovets S.
ReplyDeleteWe shared our opinions and some information about events in our personal lives on our social media accounts.
Did you learn anything new and/or interesting?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteSure, we learn something new every day. And sometimes this "new" also happens to be interesting :)
DeleteI'd like to say that I didn't write anything special in English, but I made a couple of posts on my Instagram account with little description of my photos in English.
ReplyDeleteNot much but still... Where were the pictures taken?
DeleteThese pictures were taken in different places, but most of them were taken at my home, especially in my room. I have something like a mini photostudio.

ReplyDeleteAlyona, it's just great! Was it published somewhere? Can you share it with us?
DeleteI published only a small fragment of that but deleted:)
DeleteDuring my semester break I had written a post in English, being inspired by a theatrical performance. There were many social problems that were discussed such as a human importance, relationships between parents and children, etc.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Where was it published? Can you share its link with us?
DeleteDasha and I were chatting about memes.
ReplyDeleteIt was such an interesting discussion.
DeleteI appreciate that
DeleteYou walked into my sinful life beautifully.
DeleteWill we have some proper task connected to the topic of Memes? Eager to know!
ReplyDelete+
DeleteIt would be marvelous!

DeleteI haven't thought about it but it seems like an interesting idea. Let me try to find a way to have the discussion of memes and their importance in the context of today's culture and prepare a task for you that we'll do after we finish doing The Global Student Task.
DeleteMeantime, can you give me some idea about some kind of memes you like. Maybe you can post some of your favourite memes in your blogs, can you?
From Vakarina A. and Chernigovets S.
ReplyDeleteWe shared our opinions and some information about events in our personal lives on our social media accounts. For example, we tweeted about life, first love, problems of young people.
Great! What language(s) did you use for your communication?
DeleteEnglish and Russian

ReplyDeleteNastya and I have discussed the pros and cons of lectures and seminars. Basically, both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Lectures can be boring, but we can learn something new there. And as for seminars, they give us the opportunity to share our thoughts and ideas with our peers:)
ReplyDeleteWe have experienced both types of studying and find them useful
So, what you are saying is that they both are important in different contexts and for different purposes. Can you remember an example of a particularly successful lecture and seminar taught using the approaches we are discussing? What made them so successful? Also, maybe you have an opposite example too of a lecture and/or seminar that was not successful and discuss what made it less successful?
DeleteWork Pressure: Students receive 5-6 assignments for a different subject each week. The amount of work is important. Students have to work day and night to meet the expectations of the professor, it takes a few bucks to get help, sometimes it is not possible for them to spend their time in assignments. For this, they need assignment help so that their assignment can be completed easily and they feel the need of a good expert to write the assignment.
