Vocabulary Sci-Fi

  It's a pity, but humanity still doesn't have a possibility to send e-mail or fax messages to the past or future. Humanity doesn't, but I do:) Imagination has no borders!

  I'm sure that everyone wants to come into contact with people who lived earlier. Even more: it's not only to communicate with somebody, but to shake hands with Bon Jovi, for example, or wave at Michael Jackson etc.  I'm pleased with achievements of our science but it doesn't provide us with such an opportunity.

  Being a phililogist, I'd like to share my experiance in learning English. Maybe, in coming years we'll have an invention that allows us to have a meetings with past generations, but now it doesn't exist. So let's talk business.

   You know that a foreign language opens a window through which we're able to see the whole world. Logically that everyone tries to simplify a learning process. 20-30 years ago it was harder to make something easier. People were uncertain in regard to efective ways of studying. But not now. 

   The Internet is accessible. It allows us to reach our knowledge and to develop speaking, listening and other language skills. Except books and heavy dictionaries there are more pleasant ways of learning. 

   If you want to bring a diversity into the process, open these web-sites:

www.thefreedictionary.com

www.grapwords.com

www.fraze.it 

   Be certain, resources will be helpful. You won't be disappointed:

- create a word-clouds;

- observe different collocations;

- find examples in the field you're interested in;

- use associations;

   And as a result - memorize successfully!

   Do everything properly and soon no one could tell the difference between a native speaker and you ;)

Thanks to other high-profile rabbis, such as Capers Funnye, the African-American leader of Chicago's Beth Shalom B'Nei Zaken synagogue — and First Lady Michelle Obama's second cousin — mainstream American Jewry appears ready to embrace leaders like Stanton. And with African Americans becoming increasingly drawn to Judaism, in part because of the shrinking perception that they are not welcomed by white Jews, the IJCR's Tobin say the timing could not be better for American Jewry to finally reconsider who and what makes a Jew. "Due to assimilation and intermarriage, the stability of the American Jewish community has never been more vulnerable," she says. "If we are to survive we must become more welcoming to people and not just send them away."

A tale of two dictionaries

   Once upon a time there were two dictionaries.  One was a girl named Oxford and a boy called Longman. Nobody knew their originated.  Oxford was thin and had a medium height so she never heard a strong criticism in regard to her figure.  Longman suffered from overweight and it was his main concern. A poor boy was almost alone and defenceless.  Finding any friends was a considerable difficulty for him.  Longman’s sorrows were indescribable.

   A dusty student’s bookshelf was like a house for them. There always ruled an utter chaos and mess. In such kind of circumstances called “philological apocalypse” it was impossible for them to meet each other. Their lives seemed to be uneventful but the occurrence changed everything.

It happened once in a blue moon, but the student of college of Romance and Germanic languages had a free time. He decided to do out because the mess was a real eyesore for him. All useless things that occupied a space were cleaned from the bookshelf.  And then Oxford and Longman found themselves face to face.  It was love at first definition. They had too much in common, especially 26 letters of the alphabet.

   Time passed. Oxford assured herself that she would never meet anyone better than Longman was. They was standing on the bookshelf long and happily.  They always were together:  in singular and plural, in males and females, in sessions and weekdays until a dictionary called “Frenchman” appeared. He separated them.

   It was severe for Longman.  A poor boy‘s life turned into pointless existence.  Oxford like every woman loved with her ears.  Longman’s reach inner world didn’t satisfy her.  She preferred an emotive “Frenchmen”.

   Not every tale has a happy end.

   Morality: Once in a while be interested in lives of your dictionaries. Maybe, even now they need your support. 

My 1st Vocabulary Class

EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY

   It's a classic example of all students to create potential pictures of everything they are going to do for the first time. 

   If your thoughts about the lesson are based on words that other mates say, visiting a class will be your main concern. An utter chaos will rule by your head or vice versa you will be ready to deify an istructor.  Remember that all minds are subjective and you don't have to take offense at it. People always give more criticism than approval.

  When I saw our schedule, it was a real eyesore and I almost burst into tears. The reason is that there were too many subjects. Again,these mates said that it would be much easier to study on the 2nd course. Ha-ha. But it's okey, I'm still alive :-)

   In regard to my first vocabulary class. It didn't seem to me as a considerable difficulty, but I realized that I would put a real effort in it because there are too many words and very little time. 

   When the lesson began, the teacher made it clear that all our expectations which relate to an infinite and boring writing of new words would "go to hell" ("3 DAYS GRACE" song). The instructor held us reponsible for making blogs where we would clarify different topics. We reached an agreement of learning process. Fortunately, no one had to settle a dispute belong to hometasks etc. 

   Be hard-working and you will never take the blame for results of your laziness. Never back down, because without an asking there is no understanding. And yours "I will do no such thing" leave behind you. Die down the noise caused by torrential rains of doubts and gale force winds of carelessness. Catch fire with a desire instead ;-)
