Out of sight, out of mind

-       -    Of course, it doesn’t apply to vocabulary classes!

Being honest, to complete the course we were supposed to cover a lot of ground, but the end justifies the means. Once or twice I was ready to lose my nerve because of a number of home tasks. Now I take the view the reason was not in the subject, but in being-a-lazy-bones.  A widespread midnight thought: “Oh… And also a vocabulary L  This blog is like a pain my neck!”.  Then, bit by bit, I began to realize that all these tasks were worth doing and really deserved glowing tributes. Needless to say, in order not to be on the rocks, you just have to divide your time reasonably.  It’s my firm conviction that later I’ll have a kind of nostalgia for the classes, because they really did me good.

My dear fellows! You’re about to take the baton! Beforehand, take your time to watch some helpful tips from your mentors:

1.       Get as much out of the studying as possible.

2.       Fight a desire to go away everytime you see a new wordlist.

3.       Write the blogs on time – it really gives a feeling like you’re on horseback.

4.       During a two-trimesters-long vocabulary trip, don’t forget to make some stop-offs.

5.       Learn how to fully recharge your batteries in 3 hours before a module test.

6.       If your classes nine times were held in the room 48, it doesn’t mean that for the 10^th time it’d be the same location.

7.       Keep in mind – the vocabulary is the only class where you’ll be given double sheets of paper.

8.       On behalf of the whole group I declare: DON’T POSTPONE.

9.       Learn the pronunciation of ‘mutual’.

1.   And the last thing: the vocabulary develops not only your language skills, but also makes you an actor (actress), journalist, film director, screenwriter and operator.

Easier said than done, I know. But take the initiative and DO! Good luck!

How to Recharge Environmental Batteries?

   The Earth gasps in the arms of an eco-disaster. Acid rains scald its skin and deforestation makes it bleed out; exhaust fumes cause a strong caugh and a nuclear waste leads to incurable diseases. 

The most terryfying thing is that a natural habitat destruction is only a beginning of a 'trouble-list'. 

Cutting down oaks, elms etc., polluting soil, air and water, a human transforms the planet into a landfill.  Ask yourself a question: what is a reason of hard and wheezy earth sighs? The answer is - we are. We forgot that natural resources are not renewable, as a lizard's tail is, but we continue to use them up intensively. While trying to find a guilty, just stop and take your time to think: what did I personally do to make the situation better?

Ecological problems haven't bypassed Ukraine. Results of a greenhouse effect and a global warming significantly affect our lives. The Red Book includes hundreds of species which are under threat of dying out. We do have to change our ways of approach to the nature, otherwise, there are going to be dire conequences. 

The most powerful 'weapons' which could influence people are money and a shame: 

1. The government has to implement high fines for ventures which pollute the environment with toxic waste and chemicals (but of course, it's better to make higher fees for utilities!).
2. Those who throw away garbage have to be fined as well. 
3. Regarding to hunting, it is strongly recommended to ban it at all. We should protect a biodiversity!
4. In the places where human could do harm, have to be a kind of  'appeals to a conscience'. For example: 'Everytime when you're throwing away rubbish, you identify yourself with it' etc. 

Remember, the Earth needs your care! Don't neglect it!

                          

PRAY,LOVE AND EAT HEALTHY FOOD ;)

Frozen. A New Version.

Since we met the butterflies became permanent residents in my stomach.  It was love at first sight. I remember we bumped into each in the dorm kitchen. He gave the impression of a passionate and charismatic man. As soon as I saw him I considered him to be my type. His appearance fascinated me – a beautiful pointed face, a lovely complexion and a lot of other things which made me fall madly in love with him.

I was amazed by his character and behavior. Friends called him “Fridge”. I guess it was so because he wasn’t an outgoing personality. Fridge was a good listener, he kept all my secrets and never lost his temper. From time to time I thought that he was rather a cold fish. There were some reasons. Everytime when I was talking he was as silent as a grave It hurt my feelings. Fortunately, I was mistaken – he had a heart of gold:

-Fridge, I came back! I’m awfully tired, exhausted and very hungry!

-Take it easy. I have something tasty to cheer you upJ   

-My favourite cakes? Really? Don’t you play a joke on me?

-Voila!

It was one of many examples of his generousity. Being stressed I even could came to him at midnight. He was a good company and very sensible interlocutor. 

My relations with a refrigerator will never come to an end. We will keep in a close contact till the time I’ll be a student. We’ll continue to get on well with each other till his freeze function will be working well.

Take your time to think whether you don’t underestimate those who are always with you in sickness and in health, for better or worse ;)
