Dear Victoria,
   I’m very happy you’ve already got accustomed to living in New York! You made a long and exhaustive boat trip on a way to a better life.  I respect your desire to build a promising future. But do you have nostalgia for a native country? Are there any stereotypes about migrants? I hope you didn’t face with a sort of a hostility related to people who leave their homes in order to find an asylum in more prosperous countries.
  As we know, people, whom sometimes we call refugees, were escaping not from a good life. I’m among those, who suffered from a racial discrimination. There was always only prejudice and contempt because of our skin colour. One day, going for a wander, I realized that didn’t want to feel remote anymore. As a result, I’m here, in New York.

   It took some weeks till I could find some vacancies. Now I’m a garment worker.  I don’t have any time to chill out! It happens only once or twice a month when I allow myself to listen to the victrola or visit Coney Island. Moreover, my employer gives me a possibility to go away for a well done job. You can’t imagine what a wonderful feeling I have being off the beaten track and watching unspoilt stunning landscapes!
Formerly, you’ve mentioned that you live in a tenement apartment building which has five floors and 18 families living there. I’ve heard such buildings are run-down and have budget accommodation.  I was lucky to live in a house which was under the restoration.  Now there are almost perfect conditions. 
   I live at piece with my neighbours and we do each other good. 
   I have to thank you for a recipe of burekas! They have an excellent taste!  At the end of the day all families gather together in the open air and enjoy this dish.

   Do you know what? I have a proposal! Let’s take a relaxing holiday to recharge our batteries. It’ll be a good idea to set out, won’t it?
   I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
   Yours, Olesia

   My dear fellows, I won’t break new ground, if I say that the Ostroh Academy often opens its doors to the people who are always in the public eye.   Among them there are many celebrities. We knew them thanks to tabloids, quality newspapers and different journals. Most of them deserve only glowing tributes.
But have you ever met here any Hollywood stars? – I suppose only in your dreams.
   There is a person, whose visit had to be under the privacy, but the news leaked out very quickly. This event hit the headlines of many local and foreign newspapers and was broadcasted throughout the world! A scandalous and outrageous director, a man who’s famous for his lavish lifestyle and meteoric rise in a cinema industry - Quentin Tarantino! 
   Front pages of well-known magazines are full of scathing articles connected with Quentin. Paparazzi often pry into his private life, which cause a lot of rumors. In spite of this, viewers forgive all the lapses, because his talent as a producer justifies everything!
   News has just come in that Quentin is going to make a horror film at the Ostroh Academy. It’ll be called ‘The Session. Thanks for being alive’. It was outlined that Tarantino had a meeting with our rector and professors in order to understand better the peculiarities of this seat of learning as well as become aware of the process of passing exams and final modules. 
   Quentin takes the view, that this film will get the highest accolade and will be a little consonant with “To Kill Bill”. A source keeps us informed about his future plans. It is told he’s going to make the second part where will be more madness, tension and struggle for life – “A coursework. One night before an execution”.
   We’re keeping a close watch on further developments!

LEARNING INSTEAD OF STUDYING

   It’s common knowledge that without an education a person wouldn’t be accepted as a member of a modern society. We should give some thought a question: is our educational system appropriate to the 21st century human needs? Opinions are divided.
   There are people who take the view that a secondary education is a basis for the future. You have to be a straight A student, get the top marks, do all your homework in order to secure a place in seats of learning. Unfortunately, those people don’t grasp the importance that by forcing children to study, they just create new details for a bureaucratic mechanism (it was told about it’s functioning and origin by Sugata Mitra). It’s like a mud which doesn’t allow the society to move forward.  I honestly think an educational conservatism is the main disease at the age of cutting edge technologies and a rapid development of a mankind. 
   For other people it’s a foregone conclusion that we need an educational revolution.  This idea was supported by Sirken Robinson in TED Talks. They realize that for developing children’ mental agility it is necessary to have three essential components. The first is encouragement. If you’re not interested in what you’re learning, you’ll never do an exam or complete a course successfully. The second is cooperation. Only in a way of working together a process of learning becomes as easy as ABC. The last point is an access to the Internet. It gives a possibility to find any kind of information which could help you to pass an exam in flying colors or to enroll on some subjects as well as improve your knowledge with practice.
   There are my own thoughts in regard to the educational reorganization. Firstly, children should have more freedom of choice. Preparing all the lessons is a waste of time, which can be used with more profit, especially in a way of self-development. Moreover, I don’t subscribe to the opinion that a teacher is everyone who got a diploma of philologist. It happens very often that because of a teacher pupils become dissatisfied and bored. Principles have to be more diligent in hiring personnel. Schools have to bear in mind a kind of a motto: NOT Education BUT Learning.
   To conclude, I’d like to admit that the education shouldn’t be a sort of a “death valley”. Let it be a rain of alternatives and changes which will make it prosperous. 
     
 

REFLECTIONS ON THE COURSE

Students have pretty hectic days. As a result it looks impossible to reasonably juggle all affaires.

If you want to succeed, you have to learn how to prioritize and share your time.

As a matter of fact, vocabulary lessons should be held under the motto “The more the merrier”, but unfortunately the deanery scheduled classes in its sole discretion.  Nevertheless, this subject gives us an indescribable experience.

At the very beginning writing any kind of posts was a considerable difficulty for me, because it demanded putting real efforts. Being a genuine philologist I always wanted to do my best in order to accomplish a task. I have a proper recognition that practice makes perfect. Anyway, many times I procrastinated doing my work.

Happens you come back home and ready to hit the roof because there are too many deals to handle. And while recalling it, you become devastated and severe, almost burst into tears. When finally you start making a blog, you find yourself very resourceful.

I take notice that I’ve contributed a lot. Perhaps, my achievements didn’t often appear during my final tests, but I’m observing a progress. First of all, it’s memorizing of words. You’ll agree if I say that learning the whole units makes you fill jubilant and ecstatic!

I expect this course to be of the same productivity. If I have some complaints, I’ll address them only to myself. Being not able to divide time wisely is my main pet hate.

Expressing my further wishes, I’d like vocabulary classes to foster our enthusiasm and morale. How? – That is the question…

     Guys! I’m in trouble!

     To say the least, I faced with a considerable difficulty. I have no morale anymore, I’m ready to bury my head in the sand! I’m giggling panic… Few hours ago a group of people disjointed my UFO and passed it on scrap! How to put a situation right? There are no ideas in regard to a resolution! Don’t tell me that I’m blowing it up of proportion, because you’re not in my shoes!

     I guess, it was a shortage of petrol, but beforehand you’d assured me that it had to be a surplus!

     Fortunately, I’m near someone’s house. I hope creatures, who live there will help me to tackle this problem. The house itself is a dilapidated building. Perhaps, formerly it suffered from Tartar invasion. It almost fell into decay, but I took notice that host didn’t abandon it. There are paper snowflakes on windows. So cute ^^. To be honest, at first I thought that there were stables instead of a lived-in building, or at least medieval ruins. I won’t judge a book by its cover.

If it were in my power, I would renovate the house and make it ultra-modern. It needs a preservation.

     Peers, in comparison with our brand new buildings, cutting edge technologies and up to date devices this place is like an ancient hovel.

     Let’s have a look inside. Maybe, house interior is in mint condition.
