Check please my news report.
Moscow carries out the Greek Art Festival.
This week on the eighth of November the Art Festival, which was devoted to the year of Greek Culture, took place in Red Square in Moscow.
The Art Festival embraced all genres of creativity: painting, sculpture, music, poetry, choreography, cinema, animation, and many others. Its main task was to unite the creator and the viewer, and give everyone a chance for awakening creative potential. The interesting feature of the event was the presence of a large number of foreigners. It is amazing how flags of different countries were painted on faces of all visitors in order to emphasize the variety of nationalities. Although Red Square is not very large, as would be expected for such an event, anyone willing was able to see everything that interested them most of all. On the occasion of the Art Festival, Red Square was transformed into a real art platform. There were some Stages, screens, tents, and a lot of loudspeakers which were playing Greek songs created a real feeling of a festive occasion. It is important to note that a lot of celebrities attended the Art Festival. For the occasion, Red Square was equipped with medical cars, food tents, and a police squad.
The role of such events is very essential. They further advance ties* of friendship and cooperation between countries. Besides, such activities enrich knowledge and culture of people.---
*Strange phrasing. Consider using "develop bonds/relationship" or "strengthen ties" instead. :)
0 votedNovember 10, 20164- Crash refers to a violent collision, usually with noise. As a noun, it refers to the collision itself (car crash) or to the noise caused by the collision (I heard a loud crash). It can also be a verb, as in: "to crash a car" (="to collide a car into something"), "to crash into a car" (="to collide with a car"). Usually, damage is implied. Wreck implies that something is destroyed or very damaged. Not necessarily through a collision. As a noun, it refers to the thing being destroyed/heavily damaged after it has been wrecked (the wreck of a ship, an emotional wreck of a man). As a verb, it refers to the act of destroying/damaging the thing (to wreck a car, to wreck someone emotionally). To collide is just to hit something else while moving. A car can collide with another car, a human can collide with a tree. As long as two things come into contact, it's technically a collision, though generally it needs to be impactful. (You wouldn't really refer to a feather landing on the floor as a collision.) The difference is in what these words imply. If you crash a car, it implies you made it collide into something in a way that was probably abrupt, noisy, and most likely left the car damaged. If you wreck a car, it implies you totally destroyed it - though not necessarily by colliding it with something else. If you just made a car collide (collided it), it might not even be very damaged, because all that is implied is that the car hit something else. Imo, there's another difference when using these words, that has to do with intent. A car can collide with or crash into another car. It can be entirely accidental. But you'd rarely see "the car wrecked the other car" or "the car crashed the other car", because it implies some kind of intent on the part of the car. Sorry if any part of this is wrong, and it would help a lot to know what context you are trying to use the words in! :)0 votedNovember 8, 20162
- 1) The only way I can think to interpret it is: WES = name of a person, or some other entity capable of possessing things limited gear = limited edition gear --> gear: clothing/equipment muse = inspiration show off = someone who "shows off", or boasts about his possessions (in this case, the "limited gear"?) ("boast" is a verb, not a noun. you can't call something your boast. as a noun, "boast" would refer to the act of boasting, not to the thing boasted about.) So it would mean something like "our inspiration is Wes, the show-off who owns all the limited edition gear". Second part would be: he = refers to Wes is driven by = made to act in a certain way by/motivated by/compelled by sport culture = the culture of sports, ideas/behaviours/customs related to sports. So this Wes is, yes, influenced by sports culture. It is very vague without context, so you can interpret it loosely to mean that Wes's behaviour is to a degree determined by the social behaviour of the "sports community". This social behaviour is a driving factor in whatever Wes is doing. So, things like his fashion/diet/entertainment choices could be sports-related: he could be working out because that's what sportspeople do, he could be wearing sports clothing, he could be subscribed to sports magazines. Which it is, you really can't know without more context. 2) Force of disruption = disruptive force. A force that disrupts. Basically, James is disruptive. He creates disturbance/problems. The 'force of disruption' that you found sounds like really specific usage in a gaming context, which I don't think is what you are looking for. Usually, "a force of <some noun here>" is used metaphorically, such as in "a force of nature", and I don't see "force of disruption" used often, but that would probably be the way to interpret it. I hope this helped a little, and I would be more than happy to explain anything further if needed :) Is there any context for these sentences?0 votedNovember 8, 20161
Personally, I studied English through exposure. I had to come to an English-speaking country, so I was basically forced to adapt. Basic conversations, simple literature, the same way kids would learn but slightly sped up. To learn a new language, which is basically a new way to communicate, you need this communication. Talk to people who speak the language, in the language. Read books/news in the language. Most importantly, communicate back. Speak, write, converse.
More specific methods would include keeping a place (notebook? cue cards?) to record new/interesting words and phrases with their translations, to keep them with you until you grow comfortable enough to recall them from memory. You could also try vocabulary building apps, there are some good ones on most platforms. Though, honestly - read, write, speak. There are some nuances to every language that you can only grasp through using the language itself.
Good luck!! :))
0 votedOctober 18, 20160- Работа = work Шла на = literally "went towards", meaning in context more like "led to" Износ = state/process of being worn out Put those together, and you get something like "the work was tiring", "the work wore <the workers> out". The rest of the sentence basically states that Alla insists the salaries of the medical personnel in her department were the lowest, which makes sense in context. Low pay, hard work.0 votedOctober 18, 20161
- Отработав колледж с помощью стипендий и студенческих кредитов, Барак Обама переехал в Чикаго, где он работал с группой церквей чтобы помочь восстановить население районов, опустошенных закрытием местных металлургических заводов. (Не знаю, используется ли фраза "отработать колледж", но смысл где-то там :))0 votedOctober 18, 20160
