Essay The article " Young people are being prescribed dangerous antidepressants "  is devoted to the problem of using dangerous antidepressants among children and teenagers. Nowadays the mental health problem has become very serious and popular. Many young people are suffering from depression, and due to this fact they have to take antidepressants. Unfortunately, sometimes these pills could make things even worse. From my point of view, it is dangerous to take some pills without knowing that it could consist of strong drugs and other psychotropic substances. It is better to always check some symptoms from this or that medicine in the Internet and read some recommendations to it. People should be very cautious about their health. Secondly, talking about children who are under 18, I think, that their parent should always care about mental health of their kids for not making situation too bad that a child has to take antidepressants.

The Summary The article " Britain loves booze. But we need to talk honestly about the harm it causes " which is written by Rossalyn Warren, a freelance journalist, is devoted to discussion of the problem of addiction to the alcohol among British people. I've chosen this theme because from my point of view this problem is not ugent only in the UK, but all over the world.

Reflection note This semester we have made many things. Talking about this course in general, I can definitely point out some details, which I have found useful. First of all, we were working in not typically way (use blogger.com as the main resource of communication with the teacher), because most of the time we, students, work with paper handouts. Secondly, we always were talking and touching really important and global problems, for instance, sexual assault, new technologies and so on. And the last but not least, we were making a lot of practical works such as writing creative stories, making a film review. However, I have found one thing that I did not like.

In my opinion, it would be better for us to change the platform in the future for more productive work. In the next semester, I would really...
