Describing a photo I think this photo was taken in the cinema in the middle of a movie show. In the foreground we can see some people who are really excited about what's happening anywhere but in the movie. In the centre of the photo there is a girl looking at her phone as if she's just got a message from someone who is very annoying to her. To her right there is a guy with popcorn in his hands and the disapproval in his eyes. Maybe this girl is his girlfriend and he isn't trust her fully. To her left there is a man who looks interested in her texting too. Perhaps he is irritated by the light from her phone. In the background we can see a man who is doubtless enjoying the movie. This photo reminds me of some of my friends who can't just watch movies without any distraction.

My thoughts about last Oscar award I think that in this year there were a lot of movies which were underappreciated. For instance "Jojo rabbit". This film had an unforgettable plot and an amazing cast. Sometimes it made me think deeply, sometimes laugh out loud and from time to time it brought tears to my eyes. It had a colorful and pleasant looking picture. I think this movie deserved more than just the best-adapted-script award. If you're into clever humor, you'll definitely enjoy it! The second one is "Irish man". Although this film hasn't won any awards I think it's one of the best movies of last year. It's really long but it had a really fascinating storyline with believable characters and marvelous actors. Another movie on my list is "Ford versus Ferrari". You can't help empathizing with the characters during this movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat for almost the whole film and it's amazing. I hadn't felt such strong emotions about a movie for a long time. This movie is absolutely spellbinding. The last one is "Joker". I don't know if I need to describe this film. I thought that no other that it would win all of awards this year) Anyway I'm glad that Joaquin Phoenix got his personal award as best actor. He had been terrific, outstanding and just unbelievable good. I think he's my favorite actor now ( ok, just after Brad Pitt, of course ;) ). In summary I want to say that all of these movies deserved to be the best because they were the best). They're the must-see movies for everyone.

practice some expressions My course is such a pain in the neck now. At first it was like a piece of cake, but I've started to think that it's not my cup of tea. I'm really afraid to screw up with it because it's so important to me to finish it. I have no choices but hang in there and make a progress with this course. I have an intentions of getting a job after this course so under no circumstances I have to come to terms with my laziness and get the hang of writing a code. I'm down because I think that I've jumped to conclusion and chosen wrong direction which is far too hard for me, that I've made a spur-of-the-moment decision. I can make an excuse for me and lay the blame at the course developers or someone else but it's no use doing it. I have to live up to my relatives expectations consequently I need to dust myself off and start to do something.

Going to work abroad: an exciting opportunity or a scary one? (Homework) Today nearly 5 percents of belorussian working-age population go to work abroad. It is not an exact number of people because our government counts just formal employed people or people who asked for help with work abroad. It is a horrible statistic for our small country. Work abroad has a lot of advantages for the Belarusians. The main advantage is that they can get appropriate salary for their work. Another advantage is getting a better living environment. Furthermore, if you go to country which uses a different language you can get a lot of practice with this language. On the other hand work abroad has a lot of disadvantages. Some people don't get their salary after they have done their work. Some people live in disgusting or terrible conditionings. You have to take these risks if you want to go to work abroad. In conclusion, work abroad has both advantages and disadvantages. Whether it suits you or not depends on your personality, social skills and ability to adapt to difficulties.

Invented story We had been driving for four hours when we saw the sign for a small hotel and decided to stop. We weren't so happy about this stop because we wanted to get home as quickly as we could but my stepfather decided that he wasn't been able to drive anymore. A small pleasant woman met us when we got into the hotel. She asked us what kind of room we wanted and proposed us to get dinner in common room. She was so sweet that we started to like that place. We'd got two not so cosy rooms without bathrooms on second floor. When we came downstairs to get proposed dinner we got just cold chicken and some vegetables. After that nice meal we came back to our rooms to get some rest. We were so upset about that place. In the morning we wanted to leave that unfriendly hotel as soon as possible. When we went outside we realized that our car had disappeared. We didn't know what we had to do and think.

fifty-word stories Never again I'd got that a state hospital was the worst place to get medical help a long time ago but I wanted to give them one more chance. They couldn't help me. They're just sending me from one person to another and that's it. Obviously, I'm never going to them again. A holiday romance Usually when you see these words you imagine lovely evening, candles, a delicious dinner and kisses. In my case, it's my boyfriend, movies, a lot of food and being angry at yourself when you look at your body in the mirror and all you see is everything you have eaten.

narrative tenses chapter two I don't know if this story funny or sad, but I had to write something) It happened when my friends had been resting in Egypt near two weeks and they had alredy been tired of all of those entertaiments and rest and had wanted to go home. Although they had tried almost all of local food throuthout that vacation, on last day they found out something new and special on their buffet. Of course they tried it too. After it they were spending their usual rest day near a pool when suddenly my friend felt really sick. He couldn't go out from their hotel. Actually he couldn't leave their room at this time. They'd written to his relative with question what they had to do in that situation and she gave them really interesting answer. She proposed him to drink some strong alcohol to recover from his food poisoning, which he did. As result he couldn't leave their hotel but because of completely different reason.

some narrative tenses It was my first flight so when we were flying I was nervous all the time, but it wasn't anything new for my boyfriend who'd flown several times before. He was just smilling, calming me and holding my hand when it was necessary. When we'd already been flying for almost 2 hours and our plane was landing we were being excited of views in our window, as there were a lot of mountains nearby and sea just underneath us. Suddenly, our plane hit an air pocket. Then, after that one there were a few more. Throughout that time our plane was violently shaking and I understood that my boyfriend was squeezing my hand really hard. When it was over and we landed without incident, he explained to me that he had been very afraid when our plane was landing and he didn't dare to show or tell me anything so that I would remain calm. Surprisingly, though, when all of the turbulence was happening, I actually was not scared since I had thought that happened on all flights!

some feelings about learning I have strong feeling that I got stuck in my English level last time.Although I watch series and movies in English with subtitles, I can read not so difficult books or articuls in English when I strart speaking it's awful. I know a lot of grammar rules and my vocabulary isn't so bad but I can't use it when I speak. So I feel like a little child when I try to say something. I want to evolve in this language and I want to understand native speakers without subtitles (I mean on Youtube or something). I really want to get a job one day and I need to be much better in it.
