- What do you think about Bridgerton? (Advice: my opinion contains spoilers) I think it is a very good series. It’s entertaining and enjoyable. I saw it a long time ago so I don’t remember many things, but I particularly liked the character of Lady Whistledown. She is a woman who writes about the people around her and, with her writing, she can create or destroy someone’s reputation. She publishes what she writes in the newspaper and everyone is always reading what she has written, even the queen! She is an anonymous person because if someone discovers who she is, she could have a lot of problems. At the end of the first season, we can see who who the writer is. I liked this scene very much and it was a big surprise for me because I didn’t expect that Lady Whistledown was Penelope, a girl who is fat and nobody cares about her, but she is always listening to what people say and all the gossip. Therefore, she has a lot of information to write. I think this is a series that is worth watching.0 votedApril 26, 20231
- I completely agree with this idea. If there were no demand for products made from parts of animals' bodies, most animals would not be killed for their skin, teeth and other parts. For example, tigers are shot for bones to make medicines and crocodiles are killed for bags or shoes that are made from their skin. Good job here! You answered the question on topic and explained yourself well. This will be important if you ever take an English proficiency exam. There were mistakes with using words after verbs ("make of" instead of "make") and with the passive voice ("that make from" instead of "that are made from").0 votedAugust 9, 20221
- Hi! I see two verb tenses here. First, the passive voice in simple past with "Was founded." In active voice we say "Someone founded the institute in 1818," but in passive voice we say "The institute was founded in 1818." The passive voice for simple past tense is the simple past of 'be' (was/were) plus a past participle. For example, the cake was made yesterday. A crime was committed late last night. The concert was held over 3 days. The other verb tense I see is "the Archive contains...," which is simple present. We use simple present because this is a statement of fact of current events. Past continuous is was/were + a present participle. Present participles end in -ing. For example, he was walking down the street when lightning struck a tree in front of him. She was eating a cake when her brother destroyed it.0 votedJuly 14, 20221
homework
Living with or without a roommate is always a question for someone who rents a house. I would prefer to live with a roommate because a roommate can make me feel safe. I'm scared of the dark, in to some degree. At night, if there's no one in the room with me, I need to leave the light on when I go to bed or I will feel nervous. When I get home late, the light that my roommate leaves on for me is always so touching. Besides that, physical problems are is important, too. A roommate can take care of me when I get hurt or sick. It is crucial to me. I always feel really bad when I have my period, so it is nice to have someone beside me. On the other hand, I love to share my life with someone. No matter how my day is is my day, I would like to talk to my roommate about it. If something funny happens, we can laugh together; if something bad happens, maybe my roommate can comfort me and help me get rid of my bad mood. Food is another thing I love to share. I think food will be more delicious when I share it with someone else. As all mentioned above, I think it's better to have a roommate. It's not only about safety, but also a more colorful lifestyle.0 votedMarch 12, 20190Homework. My impressions from of dance festivals.
I have visited two foreign forro festivals: in Losboa Lisbon last year and in Munich this spring.
All festivals consist of classes and parties. I have visited only parties, that's why I can't estimate these festivals fully.
I think it is more honestly honest to say that I visited visit not only festivals, but countries when festivals were passing there. I hadn't didn't have a lot of time and to explore exploring a new place was for me more interesting and important then than visiting dance classes. But it is very cool - having an opportunity to dance to a favotite favorite dance in a new city with new people after a day full of impressins adventures.0 votedJuly 19, 20180Hi! Here is a way to add an introduction, as I know during class you expressed interest in learning about introducing content in an academic essay. An introduction states the main points of your essay so the reader knows what to expect in the remainder of the essay. An introduction to this work would be something like the following:
Technology has the power to revolutionize society and some inventions have had more of an impact than others. The most important technological innovations in the last century include the Internet, the mobile phone, and the discovery of the spaceship. Each of these has had a unique, profound, and irreversible effect on society.
To begin, one of the most influential inventions of the last twenty years is the Internet...
We can discuss introductions further in one of our next classes. :)

Short text on "inventions that impact on our society"
One of the most influential inventions of the last twenty years is the internet. There are people who practically live in the internet. Some of them find friends and even partners (boyfriends, girlfriends) in the internet. Thus, in some sense, the internet became a part of our nowadays society.
The second important invention is a mobile phone (or even a satellite phone). It allows you to keep in touch with your friends, relatives or business partners even if you are far away from each other. I think that this invention greatly changed our society. For example, it became very hard to "detach" from a society at least for couple weeks. You always should be ready that somebody will phone you and ask to do something, to help him and so on. After the appearance of mobile phones life became faster. It seems also that people became much more dependent on each other.
The third invention which impact cannot be overestimated is the discovery of a spaceship that allows people to "assimilate" space and other planets. A lot of books, films and even comics on this topic have appeared in recent years. Starting from "Star Wars" and finishing with "Rick and Morty" serial. So I think that space, spaceships and other related things have become common and familiar for people.0 votedMay 11, 20180
