You, car, music and nature. Enjoy this moment, don't spend your life, it's only one!

       If you don't like something change it;

 if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. 

~Mary Engelbreit

When you fed up with your routine life and you feel lonely and depressed, try to wind down and change something in your lifestyle. As Andrea Arnold said: "Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature". What can be easier that take car and drive in any direction? You have to be as brave as a lion, only in that case you will take an interest in improving your life and the word which surrounds you. Incidentally, don't drive so fast. Stop somewhere on a bridge, look around and you will feel on the top of the world. Usually you are always on the go. You want to be faster even than time, you can't notice anything, you are like a blind, but now you stand in the middle of the bridge. That fantastic feeling when you feel the freshness of cool wind. Calm down and loosen up, life is gorgeous! It's obviously, that the clear blue sky, breathtakingly beauty will have impact on you (the human under stereotypes). Next your little stop can be peaceful forest lake. Sit on the shore of it, throw some stones in the water, I'm sure, that it will reduce your stress. You do become ecstatic and delighted with this calmness in any case. If you find difficult to express your feelings to someone, you can do it here among trees, flowers and water. Anyway, open up a bit and tell about your thoughts. And as a result, you will be grateful to yourself for it. 

After this joyful trip, you will feel better. Your career will start taking off, and you’ll be gobsmacked due to this fact. By and large bear in mind that you have to live your life to the fullest!

Communication. Body language

Have you ever thought about nonverbal means of language? It includes different gestures and facial expressions, by and large it's body language which people use for communication with each other. It's not necessarily to be observant person in order to notice combinations of gestures which we use in daily life. I'm sure, that we need to bear in mind their meaning because sometimes they can be misinterpreted. I made real effort and summarized the most common gestures which my group mates displayed. I don't want to make generalisations about them, but I will try to explain this body language from my point of view. 

       I noticed that my friends are going red when they become angry. Mind you, they can be embarrassed too. In this case, they try to avoid eye contact. For example, when they are asked something by teacher and they don't know the right answer. 

As for clenched fist, they show anger too, or alternatively, they want to protect themselves if someone else behaves in an inappropriate way. Incidentally, folded arms may be understood in two extremely different ways. This gesture may imply stubbornness, for instance, when a person doesn't want to change his/her decision even if it is wrong. Frankly speaking, it's the most common situation. As I was saying, it has one more meaning. Students fold their arms in order to show that they take offence at our words or actions. Anyway, it has a negative sense in both cases.

Another interesting thing is that my group mates bite fingernails when they are worrying or considering about something. This is very noticeable when we are writing test. As a matter of fact, we shouldn't jump to conclusions because we may misunderstand body language of other people. Everyone of us has his/her own sense of every gesture.

What is COURAGE?

      Courage is an abstract feeling, that's why everyone perceives it in their own way. Actually, for me courage doesn't mean to be brutal or fearless. Unfortunately, people always connect this character trait with stupidity or heroism. According to this quotation, the courage is an ability to speak your mind even under pressure, you are not afraid of danger, you don't want to give up. Your heart can be overflowing with fear, but you can't show your weakness. I'm sure, that the courageous people are always wise because they know how to act in different situations. Usually, only leaders have this quality of character. We can find the biggest number of such figures in world history. I think that one of the most remarkable human beings was Sir William Wallace. He was an incredibly wealthy man, but he struggled against anti-social politics of the Queen. Having lost everything, he found something more than wealth, he found his destination and got enjoyment from it. Moreover, he became national hero, because he overcame his fear and achieved success, despite the fact that he was killed. I would like to say, that no one of great people didn't have the readiness to die, but they didn't give up, they turn their fear into positive energy and did everything for their nation. 

   Even simple human can be courageous. He or she only needs to break down stereotypes, overcome the scarcity of confidence and do what they want to do. If something terrifies them, they need to fight with this. Don't think about complications and problems which will appear. Don't be as quite as a mouse. To be courageous is the irreversible way of life.

Vocabulary Sci-Fi

Czech proverb

My dear peers,
I would like to tell you about opportunities which I have today to learn English.

People always were curious about our world. They wanted to discover it, to get knowledge,to communicate with people from other tribes and then from other countries.  Unfortunately, they could speak only their mother tongue. Moreover, some people even didn't know how to write or read on their first language. Despite this fact humanity found a solution to language problem.  Someone thought that people were in need of education. Government began to open schools for common people where they could speak their mind and study.  The world got new geniuses who set one of the most important facts in our society. I will write it according to Flora Lewis' words: “Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.”  That's why people started to learn official languages of other countries.  Progress didn't stand still.

The generation of modern people have a lot of opportunities for development. Frankly speaking, even 20-30 years ago you didn't have so vast diversity of methods and means of learning languages ​​as we have (generation of technologies). You were out of touch with new information or new inventions. 

It's 2014 now. I'm a student and I study Romance and Germanic languages. Nowadays it is easier to do it because I have accessing to the Internet. I can chat to people from different countries and I shouldn't make real effort to do it. It's easier than to write a letter to your friend, send it and have been waiting the answer for weeks. There are a lot of interesting sites in the Internet which can help you to learn new language. I would like to provide you with information about them. It will help us to talk non-stop foreign language.

It is important to use all kind of your memory as you know. For instance, you can remember the meaning of words and collocations with them when you make a word map. 

Firstly, when I knew about this opportunity I had been glaring at picture for a few minutes. I couldn't even say a word! I was so excited! When I had a meeting with my friends we talked about benefits and disadvantages of it and we made the conclusion that we would like to use that option. Of course, I need to practice a lot in order to speak like a native speaker, but if I will use this way of learning and the next one, I will remember better. So, I would like to tell you about the next option. Here I can create a word cloud. What is it? I have to write any word (for example, yawn, clap, weep, whisper) and I will get different word combinations. 

Also if I'm not aware of using a particular word or collocation, I can look at it in the context. For instance, I will take the collocation "tell the difference between" with help of   fraze.it I'll find a text with this phrase. For example, "I'll give Booker the benefit of the doubt and assume he is aware that energy is neither created nor destroyed. If so, this must mean he is talking about useful energy, and that "produces" means converting energy we cannot use into energy we can use. A wind turbine turns the energy of wind into electricity. But a boiler does not produce energy, even in the sense that Booker appears to mean. It uses energy. The energy is contained in the oil it burns, which it converts into heat. Booker, it seems, cannot tell the difference between production and consumption." 

Although I can bump into a foreigner in a street, smile at him or her, ask excuses and start to speak. Also I can go abroad and come into contact with native speakers. As I said, I have a lot of opportunities for learning another language. So, modern people only need to have a desire to do it.

Always keep in mind words of Frank Smith:"Language is not a genetic gift, it is a social gift.  Learning a new language is becoming a member of the club - the community of speakers of that language.”

The Real Life of Dictionaries

Have you ever thought about things which surround us? What do they do when we sleep, walk or do another stuff? Are they alive or it's only things without soul? Maybe, they don't want to be noticeable. As Ashley Smith said: "Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." Open your eyes, listen to silence and you will know inexplicable things which will occupy your imagination, attention and mind.

I count myself lucky because I had the unusual dream about family of dictionaries one night. In a few minutes you will read about it. So, let me start.

It was 2 a.m. I was absolutely exhausted, I couldn't simplify my homework (it was extremely difficult), so, I assured myself of waking up earlier and completing it. I fell asleep in a few minutes. Recently i heard that someone whispered to each other, it scared the life out of me, but I turn my fear into positive energy and opened one eye. I saw that two dictionaries on my table had hands and eyes. THEY WERE ALIVE!!!! I was scared and defenseless, but I didn't say a word.

"Father! Father! Father! Why are you so fat?" asked little son-dictionary. The dad-dictionary said to his son: "I'm not fat, I'm reputable and wise because I contain a lot of words. People say that I'm worthwhile. They appreciate my help". The young Longman reflected on words of his father and after some time asked him again: "Hm... But i can't understand why people are so hartless in that case. Give me some reasons why you commit yourself to your job. They handle cruel with you! You feel an indescribable pain when they tear your pages... I'm sure that their behavior is unforgivable". The old dictionary only shrugged shoulders and smiled a bit. "I owe them a favour. They created me and you. I'm under some circumstances which i can't change. I exсelt at my job, I adore to communicate with people despite the fact, that they can't hear me, but they can read me and understand. They absorb the information which I give to people. We have our special connection. You are so young to understand it, but in the long run you will. There will be recognition that people should take care of their books, I believe in it".
Fortunately, it was only dream and I realized it in the morning. I brought the dictionaries back to the library, but I'd repaired them firstly. After that time I always behave very carefully with my books.
