You are a flower!

   Our life is a thread but different people has different ways of existence. That`s why  such threads can be multicoloured, with knots or may be torn not being knitted with others. Life can be spent in tears, be a by-product of the whole community being. But sometimes tears can reduce our stress and absorb bad vibes, pour anger out, make from vulnerable leaf a jubilant blade.

   A person is a flower. It is born, it is growing and then it is taken off by the surrounding world or old age. Childhood is a brick that searches for another bricks and cement in order to build a great house, for the way to achieve the aims so that it can have an impact on others, for taking an interest in the world because only your heart can tell you what to do.

   In this contemporary world, when business is booming, when it`s too hard to live the life to the fullest only instinct and heart prompt you the right way. When the flower is growing different obstacles can disturb it (like ivy) and sometimes it`s too late to consult an expert. Life is full of predators and it is a natural competition. If to put problems into words you can`t know what to expect from friends. They are like other threads that join you but sometimes they are too unreliable to give the secrets away.

   Therefore, not to be cheated you should be guarded but don`t disclose private information at the same time. It does wonders for living in paradise. And in the end you`ll be a flourishing rose, independent, ecstatic flower…

Communication. Body language

   Our communication is extremely diverse and consists of different parts. Body language is an inalienable component when we come into contact with different people. Bear in mind that it`s a good way to make generalizations about person`s characteristic features, but sometimes we can misinterpret behavior of our interlocutor. 

   Excessive gestures may inform us that person is an extrovert. But don`t jump into conclusions because it could also be a soul commotion. It should be pointed out that different politics use their gestures as a way of persuasion. Also folded arms may imply strict intention or displeasure.

   Eye contact and smile is a feature of the honest conversation and it really shows friendly relationships. Not necessarily it`s a kind of showing your faith because sometimes it could be psychical domination.

    And what when somebody`s going red? When you observe such situation it`s a good example of fury. Somebody displays verbal warmth and is ready for dialogue fight.

   Lie is always accompanied with combination of losing eye contact, having perspiration on the forehead and trembling in the voice. Some people show their stubbornness and try not to show their lie. They are definitely good actors.

   And finally, there are some interesting facts in relationships between man and woman. Fiddling with hair is a feature of woman who fancies somebody. Man flirting is expressed in smoothing the hair and stroking an earlobe.

   So don`t forget that not only voice is a mean of communication, sometimes body language can show more that you expect!

"Wisdom holds a candle to experience, but you`ve got to take the candle and walk alone." Lauren Kate

   

   Firstly, to say the truth, this quotation really expresses the main idea of studying, education, wisdom and knowladges at all and exactly shouldn`t be underestimated. It means that theoretical developments are useless  without taking them itno the suitable direction. 
   If you`re intelligent, it doesn`t mean that you`re overfilled  with wisdom and extremely wise qoutations. Wisdom is a way of actualizing your brain flexibility, multi-functional opportunities and productive activity. It`s like a simple candle without a fire but when you light it, you`ll discover your own life road. Darkness is an ignorance, candle fire means clarification. 
   Moreover, you can have an inflamed candle but standing on the one place is a great mistake. Wisdom wants to be shown, it wants to reflect everything you think, you want and have. And thinking is a movement. So the right choice, the most productive way is to take the candle and walk alone. And remember that wisdom isn`t a monotonous song, it`s a dynamic, active and  overwhelming stream of thoughts. We`re all the rulers of our consciousness (mostly), so everything depends on our choice.
   That`s why wisdom holds a candle to experience, but we should lit the fire, keep it and wisdom will burst into flames.

Vocabulary Sci-fi

     Dear friend!

     I`m writing to you from the future in oder to explain in a small talk what opportunities I have to learn English languge nowadays. I can easily yell that it`s not only cognitively but also - improbably interesting!

     This language is very useful to communicate with foreigners even when they are not from English-speaking countries. It is because English is an official language of main internarional laws and pacts, during talking business,  it`s widely spread in the social networks and is always developing on the world stage. May be it is a figure of speech but English language seems to be a mother tongue of the whole humanity.

     First of all, modern tehnologies have made learning foreign languages more easy. For example, you can use online dictionaries, communicating websites, chat with native speakers, come into contact with people around the world to improve the usage of your target language. Using different websites you can create "word maps" which will help you to enrich your memory with different collocations:

     Moreover there are "word clouds": the main principle is that learning words in colours is better for your memory. 

     Also you can find one phrase in different contexts using fraze.it. For instance, "to learn new words":

[The results of this study have important implications for language acquisition. It indicates exposure to language via television is insufficient for teaching language to very young children. To learn new words, children must be actively engaged in the process with responsive language teachers].

     What is more, creating Flashcard set in Quizlet can be used as electronic vocabulary:

     So do not "hold the line" during learning English, just speak up, just write letters to your pen-friends, just shake hands with foreigners and start to communicate, just have a meeting with participants of different exchange programmes, just speak your mind in English. You know that you can say no word but think in English  and it will perfectly.

     I`ve heard from my colleagues that face to face communication can make a speaker more confident what is really necessary. Despite the giggling of your enemies progress will be showed. 

     I`d like to "underline" that during learning English language I have an opportunity to listen to English music, to watch English films with subtitles, to read English books, advertisements, to visit extremely great number of sites in English. That`s why it is possible to create language nature around yourself. It would be great if you had the same...

     So whisper to the image in the mirror that YOU can and it will clap on your self-confidence.

     

                          With best wishes,

     your friend from the future Alex.

Funny fairy tale about two Dictionaries

  This is a fairy tale about two Dictionaries which is extremely eventful and I`m sure, it will occupy your soul for this 7 minutes of reading. The action was in the excellent (at the first sight) village where different Dictionaries where living including Longman English Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary and others. They had simple life and looked ambiguously: young dictionaries were full of words, collocations and transcriptions; they were inquiring because of being enriched with new words, a bit doubtful about giving right definitions. Old dictionaries were indifferent to the people who were learning languages, trying to catch at least one Dictionary for studying. 

  One day Longman and Oxford Dictionaries had a walk to the dreadful forest that was not reputable. A big trouble expected them so it was really indescribable. But they thought it was a worthwhile trip included searching for the new words. Their ancestors said about inexplicable way to catch letters, make words, hide them between the pages and live together to the death. Two little boys-dictionaries were defenceless but had an assurance about great honour after the hunting. When Dictionaries were walking smiling and laughing they suddenly noticed their Native Language in blood, with black eye, lying on the ground between the trees. "I know who has done it", said Oxford and licked his lips. His cover was reflecting  in the tears of Language. It seemed that she was lying on the red grass and counting stars but really it was noticable that Language was passing away."Help ... Those heartless Articles, German Articles, killed me in order to be on the top", she explained and inhaled for the last time. Longman stamped his foot promised to wreak vengeance upon their enemy. Two boys absorbed the words of Language and washed away from the forest. Soon they finalized the promise and those merciless Articles were found dead, killed with funny sound "shwa".

My first vocabulary class

   Hi! It`s my first massage in my first blog about the first vocabulary class. My first vocabulary class was like a torrential rain during hot und boiling summer. It means that it was absolutely relaxing because I saw a lot of familiar faces, we were talking about our summer and had pleasurable 80 minutes. From the one side, it`s a classic example of a first class. But to make it clear this class was rather interesting. My classmates and I faced the prospect that we`re going to have an utter chaos. But what is the narrow escape in this situation? Have an 8-hour sleep or learn everythung overnight? Now it`s the main concern. We understood that life is going to connect with a considerable difficulty in the following three months. Really ... you can`t set fire to the rain but you can overcome yourself. We reached an agreement with our teacher that this year would be dynamic and our course will be a real effort. Morover, it is said that scholarship wil be paid according to the rating, so I`m sure that a fight for the points will break out. But the main thing is to lit a fire inside of our soul, motivate ourselves and small spark will burst into flames. Sometimes fierce critisism can generate unreal reality, that`s why after my first vocabulary class I understood that studying must be rulled with a strong accent. So do not burst into tears and don`t have your thoughts on fire. We hold ourselves responsible for the future, because it`s in our hands.
