Vocabulary Sci-Fi

Dear Monica,

Hello! How are you doing? I’m writing to you to tell and explain what opportunities I have to learn English I have in the twenty first century.

To start with, English is the most widely spread language. That means everyone who wants to achieve his or her goals faces the importance of English. A lot of people give preference to English in order to sound like a body speaker. This is because on who excels at languages, counting English, reach the point where the enormous benefits of such knowledge become evident.

If we talk about means of learning English in the twenty first century the Internet have to be mentioned at first place. Almost everyone has such machine as a computer or a laptop which make it possible to access the Internet. There are o lot of web-cites, which keep you occupied with new information, words, definitions. For example, creating flesh cards is quite an interesting process that helps to remember words and test yourself immediately. http://quizlet.com/49818727/the-theatre-for-the-deaf-flash-cards/

In addition different diagrams, colorful pictures or word maps like this one can pick your knowledge up, improve your vocabulary.

As there is a set of collocations, fixed phrases making word clouds can be a good method of learning English, which is the official language in many countries.

Learners who aren’t out of touch with the Internet can even make it clear from which source we have an example sentence used for as an explanation in online dictionaries.

Aldrich will fine-tune and add to what he's already learned from Manning in preparation for his meetings with NBA teams."He's got the chance to help himself from this point forward through his individual workouts," Self said. "He has to be really focused on that."To get to this point, Aldrich has had to focus under tough circumstances. He cares deeply about his family. Again on Monday he got choked up at the mention of his late grandmother. The Aldriches have been through a lot, but they have tried to keep Cole as separated as possible."We always told him don't make decisions because of us," Walt said. "Do what's good for you."In this case, what's good for Cole should be good for everyone.

Also, you can chat to pen-friends, but not in your native language. You write a letter to him in English. It doesn’t matter whether it is small talks or you talk business. Just speak your mind. In order to this, why not ask a favour of foreigners? Maybe if you don’t lose contact with each other you become good friends. It goes without saying that your friendship would be devoid of shaking hands with each other, winks and smiling at one another, but it would fruitful definitely.

The list of means of learning language doesn’t run out of ways to improve English. It can be completed with  watching films in English without subtitles, travelling to English speaking countries, read books and magazines online is possible as well.

I hope one day, you will evaluate these opportunities and we’ll have a meeting with you, my dear friend!

Yours,

 Olha

The fairytale about dictionaries

This story took place in couch when two girls were travelling by train. It had to be their last destination in Bristol. As the girls were foreigners they had dictionaries. While the girls were keeping their beds an inexplicable sound was coming from the rucksack. It was The Collocations Dictionary (the CD). The other one, Longman Dictionary, was lying on the table. He said “Hey, buddy! What has happened? Are worried about something?” The CD answered “You know, Longman, the journey is about to end! But the girls count me as a pointless book. They haven’t even opened me as you excel at being fraught with a lot of information. We are not comparable!” Longman understood that the girls’ behavior was heartless. He took the blame for such indifferent attitude. He said: “Please, don’t cry! They just depreciate you!” The CD said: “I’m upset! This journey is the most uneventful one I have ever had. As for me, it is a real concern to be devoided of attention and using” The more they talk the more apologetic Longman was. It seemed to him he was entirely responsible for giving assurance that his dear friend was the most up-to-date book which any tourist should have had. Longman replied: “Listen to me, my friend. You are really unique as you count a lot of essential building blocks of natural-sounding English. You also have the register with grammar information which is helpful for everyone. People always want to seem well-educated. Try to understand that each person choose a dictionary in different way, because they absorb information in one’s own manner. It’s not your fault. That’s why do me a favour ― don’t be so emotive.” But Longman knew there was no problem with easy solution and he had to defend CD in practice. Then he added: “Now try to calm down! I promise the last day of the journey will be the best one.”

The daylight was beginning to dawn, the girls got off the train. Their hostel was just 20 minutes along the bridge on foot. Longman reached the point that it was the moment conductive to help CD. The girls decided to ask somebody if they were going in right direction to the hostel. They leaned on handrail to look up the correct word, but it suddenly fell down. The girls were confused. They picked it up. Longman was wet. Shrugging shoulders one of them took out CD as there wasn’t any other solution. Opened the book, they raised eyebrows and were surprised. Pages were full of different collocations, which guided them through the book, showing the wealth of information in the dictionary. They figured out there weren’t any considerable difficulties. It was made clear that the girls were mistaken having such strong criticism about the Collocations Dictionary. It was a great honour for the CD to feel that he was in favour and worthwhile. So, the day was really interesting and unpredictable. In the evening, when Longman was dry the CD said: “Thank you, Longman! You made a real effort for me! Please, don’t take offence at me. I own you a favour, my dear friend Longman!” Longman answered: “Only by treating others with kindness can one lead a happy and peaceful life.”

My First Lesson of Vocaubulary of Modern English

Today I am a second-year student in Ostroh Acadamy. It’s as clear as a day that our department has some subjects which are connected directly. Vocabulary Learning is a classic example of such subjects. It seemed that Vocabulary Learning could cause considerable difficulties as its main goal is to enrich our vocabulary. But during the class I reached the point where I understood that making a real effort can help me. Besides, I was impressed by our teacher and didn't think about having a narrow escape. I haven’t noticed strong accent while the teacher was speaking. She made it clear that such main concerns as speaking, pronunciation can be overcomed. That’s why we have to work hard.

In my opinion, everyone faced the prospect that VL can definitely improve our English skills. It goes without saying, we were given the brief summary of the course, explanation of the rating system as well. The first class was entirely different from others. I’ve never done such thing as poster in five minutes before. Our subgroup was in utter chaos at the beginning, but we didn’t take offence. Instead we did really good poster about how we love Ukraine together. This kind of team work with familiar faces showed how important is knowledge of English. It can help us to tell people about situation in our country especially now, when there is strong criticism about events in the east of UK. Describing how and why we love UK, we reach a conclusion that it doesn’t matter what language you study, what matters is the language you think in. Also, we noted our wishes and expectations. I’m not entirely sure that they’ll happen, but I’ll do my best anyway.

I hope the next classes will be as interesting and absorbing as the previous one.
