Story One day, I was writing my report when I was suddenly summoned to the chief's office. "So, Ira. I decided that you are the best candidate for the business trip to Japan. You will need to represent our firm to our foreign colleagues. Departure is 3 days later" – he said. I was shocked. I had never worked in that field before, but my boss threw me in at the deep end. I was only given 3 days’ notice to prepare. Finally, I did it! When I came to Japan, I felt like fish out of water. Everything was so different, and I couldn’t read any of the signs! Besides, I got into hot water with the controller because I did not understand the control system in the subway and tried to go without a ticket. The presentation itself was very successful. At first, there was a tense atmosphere but small talk was one way to break the ice. On the last day before returning I really put my foot in it when I met my Japanese partner. I called him Tanaka instead of Yamamoto and when he corrected me I said "I’m sorry, you are all the same"… In the end, I must admit, this trip was a real eye-opener for me. I understood that all cultures were different and you had to think what you said and did.

Time capsule It is always enjoyable to take a visual journey back in time, to see what was important to the people of that time. So when I first knew what a time capsule was I got to thinking what I would place in it. People of the future are going to find these things that are important for me. This may be that very way they would ever know what my life was like. First of all, I would include my family picture. My family is the most important thing I have, and let the people of the future will understand it. Besides, there is something heartwarming about looking at old photos. Secondly, I would put in the capsule a toy rabbit called Chingachgook, which is made by my brother. This object evokes fond memories of my childhood and looks very cute. Then I would put some book from my library. Honestly, I don't know what. Probably some book about the Great Patriotic war (for example, «А зори здесь тихие» or «В списках не значился») Finally I would include stickers. I just love funny stickers (it would be terrible if the stickers will disappear in the future) Once again after reviewing all the objects I would like to put in a time capsule, I thought maybe I'm still a child inside To crown it all, I want to note, that although seemingly unrelated, the objects from the time capsule represent pieces of my life that have been collected together to show a certain image.

Dream job I guess my dream job would have to be a theatre critic (blogger). Using my keen interest in theatre and a love of writing I'd relish having the opportunity to work in a creative theatrical environment and to create articles on various performances. It seems like a fairly logical extension of an interest in the arts and a love of writing. I'd like to think that I'm a fairly creative. I can create articles where I can show my ability to articulate my views with clear and engaging prose with accurate and concrete examples. I'm not afraid to try out new ideas. My dream job allows me to work in the places I love (literary cafes, lofts, artspaces) working with self-direction, surfing the Internet and blogging and spending time and effort honing my craft. I'd relish working around creative people who love art, understand the new theatrical trends and have a good sense of humor. I think it's essential to be open-minded and to communicate with the others. My workday is filled with amazing experiences, such as going to the theatre for free, meeting new people, knowing I am an informal kind of historical archive, offering a long-term and always growing databank of past shows. In doing this, I'd like to use my favorite things like theatre and arts magazines, blogs and websites, playbills and programs and turn them into opportunities. I've got a good eye for things that are going to work. I am finally willing to work my way into a very competitive field and to be recognized for my creativity and experience.

Mistakes of the past You have the choice to erase one incident from your past, as though it never happened. What would you erase and why? It’s very hard question. I’m sure everyone wanted to change some mistakes of the past. But there is one important moment. It can be only in our imagination. The time pass and we forget about this bad moments. And when you see the question like that you can’t remember the worst incident. What’s about me? Now, I can’t remember too, but I think the moment which I want to erase has a connection with my family and friends. They are the best people of my life and I have to appreciate their being with me!

If you could have any author –living or dead – write your biography, who would you choose? Today I read a very interesting question: «If you could have any author –living or dead – write your biography, who would you choose? » I’ve never thought about it. At first, I’ve thought about Russian writers, of course. My first mind was: “Oh, maybe Dostoevsky or Tolstoy?” But they are too great to write about me =) As a result, I’ve chosen Vladimir Dudintsev, the author of the book «Белые одежды». Why? That is that very way of writening that I love: a light style of reading, an intense plot, philosophical reflection and the great intertext. I would like was written like this book. What is about World literature? I really don’t know. Maybe J. London or O’Genry. I love their creatures for the strength of mind (J. London) and for the outstanding sense of humour (O’Genry). Finally, it may be very entertaining to read your own biography written by three different authors.

My playlist of this week Today I would like to write about my playlist of this week. It is always hard to tell about your favourite music because you usually afraid of other’s negative opinion. So the first place of my week’s chart is the song “Not Today” by BTS. That is K-pop (Korean popular) music. I would never thought that I could love this kind of music. But I love it very much! (Honestly speaking I love not only their music but, of course, the singers))) The second and the third places of this week are songs by Russian group “Lumen”: «Небеса» and «Три пути». I don’t want to translate it to English because I don’t want to distort the meaning. Russian rock-music I love for that very deep sense. It is one of the most beautiful moment when you listen songs in your native language and understand and feel!

My pronunciation again =) I was doing some exercises to improve my pronunciation. I don't think it became much better, I just hope... So here is another link of my recording of the text. If you can, write my mistakes please (the marks of Russian accent). https://voicespice.com/Player.aspx?c=p&h=A68E6076&j=3EC96#.WIPDkFOLSM8 Text (not my minds, just a text=) Describe yourself is not easy as you think, who is define, is limited! Comparing me with something can be so difficult, I’m the kind of person that changes my feelings and my attitudes faster than ever! Like in the moment I would like to drink a soda, but few minutes later change my idea for a chocolate milk! So I never know exactly what I want! In this moment if I could describe myself with a sentence, this would be «Live your life like there is no tomorrow», I love the way this sounds good on me, because I don’t know what can happen to me now or tomorrow, each second of my life is precious to me . I don’t lost my time being mad with people, I just ignore and think that everything is ok. So I always say to people how much they are important to me, how much I love them. I do whatever I want to do, everything that I feel like. Our life is too short to worry about stupid things, just don’t worry and be happy.

My pronunciation experience Hello! I'm working on my pronunciation in English. There is a text which I read. Please, could you check whether I pronounce all the sounds correctly and write down all my strong and weak points in pronunciation. It is a link to my recording of the text - https://voicespice.com/Player.aspx?c=p&h=4AEBA14B&j=3E2E1#.WH0zJ1OLSM8 Thanks a lot! (I am extremely afraid =) Text. Are you interested in the behaviour of people and animals? If you are, then you might enjoy the study of psychology. Psychology is the study of behaviour, but this is a very large area of study. There are several different branches of psychology, each of which studies a different aspect of behaviour. Social psychologists study interactions among people. For example, a social psychologist might try to learn about the situations that cause people to behave aggressively. One of the interesting problems in social psychology is conformity: what causes people to behave in the same way, and to follow what others do and say? Cognitive psychologists study thinking, memory, and language. For example, why can young children learn a second language so quickly and easily? Clinical psychologists study mental illnesses. For example, a clinical psychologist might try to find out the causes of depression and to figure out ways of helping people who are depressed. These are only a few of the many areas of psychology. Truly, psychology is one of the most interesting areas of knowledge!
