My phone was broken (I thought so) All my life I have been very careful about electronic devices, including to smartphones, which I had. However, last Friday nasty incident has happened with me. Usually I always put the smartphone into the back pocket of my jeans by force of habit. When I was going up the stairs, the phone has dropped out of my pocket. In total, the phone fell from a height of about 4 meters. I was very lucky, because when it fell, it landed on the back and the front glass did not break. However, during the inspection it was clear that the phone case, which is made of aluminum, was bent by an arc. At the same time the phone worked properly and did not send any malfunction signals. After several attempts I managed to gently bend it back. But if you checked it carefully, you would notice that it still has a small dent and scratches on the case next to the power button. I already forgot about it, but suddenly last Saturday my phone turned off, then it has stopped responding to the buttons. I was very upset about this, because I did not want to go to the smartphone workshop. But I feel bad without my phone, so in the next morning I went to this place. When I arrived, I was met by a pretty girl who turned out to be a repairman. I was surprised when she turned on my phone on the first attempt. Later she explained to me that in such situations, first of all, you need to try to perform a hard reset, while holding the power button for about forty seconds. If you can't restart the phone in this way, then you should contact the service center. In the end I wasted half a day on a visit to the service center, but I didn't have to spend money on a new smartphone and I am very happy about it.

How I do my writing assignment Every week before my English classes I have to do writing assignments. But I have a problem there. Usually when I start to do this I space out. I have a lot free time and ready topic list, but I really don't know how to made up sentences and create stories about that. I can waste a lot of hours in my attempts to imagine and write something suitable. For example yesterday I tried to start seven times but in the end I failed. By the way I can't do it in Russian too. I think this may be related to my lifestyle, because lately nothing interesting has happened in my life. I need an extraordinary mood and feel good in order to do it well. Sometimes It's happen with me and I can do it, but usually not, and I have to wait for this to happen to me.

How to become a developer Today the are a lot of ways to become a program developer. If you want to do it quick, you should study diligently every day. But just read a book or watch a video it is not enough, because you need a practice. One of the interesting methods is that first you try to write some code, and just after that learn a theory about it. This way helps you to learn new things quickly . If you read a lot of code books, listen a lot of podcasts an watch too many relevant videos about programming, but don't code something, you will fail. You can start learn programming with one of the popular languages like Java. Maybe Java is not easiest language for the beginners, but it can get you a good understanding about how a computer works. Also it's object oriented language, so if you study it, you will know how to develop in object oriented style very well. Practice to write a code everyday and you will succeed.

How to prepare the marinade Last Friday and Saturday were my days off. These days there was a good weather so me and my family have made a decision to go to the country house for the picnic. I went to the supermarket in the morning because in Friday I did not need to go to the work. After buying all necessary products I came back to the home and started preparing meat. The secret of the success cooking meat mainly depends on the chosen marinade. There are a lot of cooking recipes, but the marinade ingredients directly depend on the type of meat what you choose. This time we chose chicken for cooking. A mayonnaise and lemon juice mixed with garlic and spices are suitable as marinade for the chicken. Also I heard about extraordinary recipe for cooking chicken in pickle juice. I did not cook it before but I will definitely try it next time. Of course you have not to forget about salt and pepper. All the two days we cooked and ate tasty chicken. It was unforgettably.

My coffee addiction Last week I listened to the next podcast: http://acupofenglish.libsyn.com/starbucks-era I love a coffee. Every morning before my commute to work I drink a few cups. If I am stay at work, I use a coffee machine to make a coffee. You can select the recipe of the drink using the buttons on the front contol panel and after that the choosen drink will be done. Usually I prefer the black coffee "Americano" without milk. Also walking around the city I like to visit different coffee shops. You can try coffee, made from extraordinary types of coffee beans according to a special barista recipe. Barista is a specialist who makes a coffee. Sometimes sandwiches and cakes are offered with coffee. It makes the time in the coffee shop more pleasant. If you want to drink a coffee without stay in, you can always take coffee to go. When I'm stay at home, I usually make coffee on the stove in the special pot, which called a cezve. I prefer to buy already ground coffee for cooking. The coffee should be made on a low heat, otherwise the drink may be spoiled. Usually I put a few spoons of coffee and add water into the warmed cezve. As soon as the foam forms and starts to rise, you have to replace the cezve from the stove, wait a bit and then return it back again. It should be done several times, the more - the better.

My favorite season of the year. I like Summer more than other seasons. I think that most people will be agree with me, because there are many reasons why Summer is better. Usually Summer it is the warmest period of the year, so you can spend more time outside. You do not need to wear warm clothes unlike other seasons. At sunny hollidays you can walk around in the centre of your town or go to the picnic to a park. This is the best time to go to the beach where you can swim and tan. If I go to the beach, I'm able to lie on the sunbed all day. Also in Summer often we eat a lot of icecream and it makes me happy, because I like an icecream too much. Furthermore it is great time to travel around your country. But most of all I like it when together with my family I go to our country house for the whole summer. At this time of year, living in a country house, we can spend the most time together.

When I caught a cold Last week I listened to the next podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english/ep-171228 When I was young I always like to stay ill, because in such days I have to stay at home instead going to school. Being at home I had more time to do my children matters, despite all irritate symptoms as running nose or sore throat. Also in these days I was especially surrounded by the care of my parents and could sleep in longer than usual. It was nice, so if I woke up and felt not good with the first symptoms of a cold, I immediately informed my parents about it. Looking at me and measuring my temperature they made a decision about my day schedule, whether should I stay home or go to school. Often I have been exaggerated and pretended that I feel bad in order to my parents allow me to stay in. When I became an adult my attitude towards a cold was changed. If I suddenly get sick I should be a soldier on despite my cold symptoms. Of course at situations like that I should take a day off and call for the doctor, but I can not do this, because I work in shift schedules. When I'm ill, I prefer more traditional and in my opinion more efficient methods of treatment, like a warm lemon tea or hot milk with honey instead of the pills. Usually I need about three days to recover.

The dangers of computer games Last few days I listened to the next podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english/ep-150716 Today many people play video games. Most of them just think that a game is just a game, but there are a lot percentage of people, who is so addicted for this that have serious problems whith their health and psyche. A typical addicted player can play all night without stopping, therefore he usually feels tired himself all next day. There is an opinion that computer games are harmful both for adults and especially for children. I think that if you adult and you do not addicted for the games, it will be easy for you, if you can play a certain time and leave all needed time for sleep. As for a negative effect on children, which comuter games can do. Most games have age rating, so you can determine in advance in which game your children can play and which game you should forbid for them. Also on modern gaming consoles there is a convenient parental control functionality. That allows you to adjust the access to applications, the amount of time in the game, remove violence explicit content from games (for example, turn off blood in "shooters") and flexibly configure other adult filters. As for me, I like the shoot'em up games. In virtual reality I can kill too many enemies for one game session, but in real life I am calm and harmless. This is my hobby and it does not bother me in my other matters.

What can't computers do? Last week i listened to the next podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english/ep-170928 Today the computer algorithms help us in our daily activities do our work more efficient. People use a variety of applications every day, but most do not even think about how it works. They take it for granted and don't realize how important it is for computer science development. When people hear some terms, like artificial intelligence or machine learning, they usually think that it is something from science fiction. However nowadays there is a two different ways to create software. Developers can code the application with classic algorithms or it can be based on artificial intelligence. This podcast talks about what an artificial intelligence is, also how it is incredibly difficult to teach machines and what it still can't do well in our life. Despite that the computer in some areas performs better than people, the artificial intelligence has many limitations in other tasks, which are difficult to implement in our real life yet. For example, a computer can win a person in chess, but he can not choose and physically replace the figure on the board. But there are professions in which artificial intelligence has already surpassed a people. For example, there is one program based on artificial intelligence which is able to recognize the author of famous pictures more accurately than several experts with ten years of experience. This became possible due to the progress in the development of computer vision.
