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. For example, the whole site Blogger.com has a lot of bugs and issues, so sometimes it was really hard to work here (the problems connected with posting and deleting comments.) 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 like to teach some theory, not only have practice. I think that I have done many mistakes in my works just because I have forgotten the theory, or simply did not know some rules of writing or formalization my texts.

I really enjoyed discussing global problems in our class, so it would be nice to continue talking about these things next semester.

    Hello Nastya,

    thanks for your reflection. Yes, the course was more oriented on the practice of writing; however, I have also shared with you a lot of theoretical material. It was meant for your individual study because there is a problem with using the theory in practice. Just a simple example: everybody knows that verbs in the Present Simple have the ending -S. However, I have come across numerous cases of incorrect use of this rule in the works of my students. I am not saying discussing the theory is useless but am saying that in the end this is a more practice oriented course, which at the same time was aimed at helping you learn about the resources that can help you with the theory of writing.

      Also, I can say that I am not quite satisfied with blogger.com as the platform for this course. Actually, I chose it because it's free and has the necessary functions for writing and editing your works. There are better and more convenient platforms but they are not free, which is the main problem with them.

Dear all, Let's start our blog!     Natalya Yu. have shown me the Gurdian newspaper website , and I'd like to share with you some information about an interesting article I've come across. It's about new version of a video game Dark Souls titled  Dark Souls: Remastered Rewiew - Dark Fantasy RPG Makes Glorious Return . Here you can get to know about new features of the first remastered part of Dark Souls. In general, the developers improved the graphic arts and fixed the most famous bugs, but most importantly, they improved online system. There is no problem anymore to connect to each other and play together.     Moreover, the game  has been handled by Polish studio QLOC rather than the original developer, FromSoftware, so the new modification is that  the online system allow more people to play together.     However, the price of the remastered Dark Soul is quite high. You have to pay 29.99 pounds to buy new Dark Soul, and, from ...

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. First of all, the author draws our attention to the fact that a lot of british people like to drink alcohol, but "nobody likes to talk about the harm that dependency on the bottle can bring". Unfortunatelly, many people were hurt by others under the influence of alcohol over the past year. She also emphasizes that "we shouldn’t dismiss the impact it has on health and quality of life, particularly if experienced persistently".  Secondly, Warren argues that one research said that it is very hard to draw concrete conclusions about the problem of the acloholism because earlier ...
