- Correct my mistakes, please (if you have time) I want to be an interpreter. There are many interesting and useful professions in the world, but only one of them really inspires me. It is a translation profession. I like English very much and constantly improve my knowledge of this subject. Translation can be divided into two large groups: written and oral. Interpretation, in contrast to written translation, is a translation that requires not only exceptional knowledge of the language, but also emotional and psychological qualities corresponding to the given profession. There are two main types of this translation: consecutive and compiler. In the case of an oral consecutive interpretation, the interpretation of the spoken passage or text is heard in the interval between this passage and the next. Likewise, business conversations and conferences are often translated, in which every detail is important. I want to become an interpreter because of some reasons. It is an interesting profession because an interpreter meets people from different countries and cultures all the time and has an opportunity to learn much about them. Besides, this profession is very useful because it helps people to understand each other and avoid misunderstanding. The first step to the mastering of any profession, is, of course, admission to a higher education. Today the competition to my chosen profession is very big, so I still should work much on myself to become a student of the Moscow State Linguistic University. Before entering the university, I am very excited, but at the same time, I am full of joyful hopes and great expectations. I believe in myself and in my power, it means that everything must happen!August 4, 201900
- Correct my mistakes, please (if you have time) Nowadays, the question of protecting shipwrecks is being broadly discussed. On the one hand salvage companies are treasure hunters, on the other hand they are protectors of priceless artifacts who recover and meticulously preserve all most valuable things from shipwrecks. Under the rules of UNESCO, only wrecks more than 100 years old are subject to protection, the idea of protecting younger wrecks remains a difficult and unresolved issue. Some people believe that this factor, has a number of advantages, while others claim that there are arguments against it that should not be discounted. In my essay I will focus on this problem and discuss both of these points of view. In my opinion underwater research of shipwrecks is still a controversial question. I suspect archaeologists and many salvage firms can be considered protectors of priceless artifacts. Firstly, archaeologists perform very complex, vexed and often emotional work. Secondly, the study of shipwrecks is necessary to preserve our history. Thirdly, without this research it is not possible to find out the real causes of ships crashing and death of people. However, there are people who cannot agree that this point of view is perfect. According to them archaeologists are treasure hunters. There are no established rules for the preservation of shipwrecks less than 100 years old and consequently there is no punishment and responsibility. Furthermore, advocates of this idea insist that we will never know what exactly they find under water, what they demonstrate to the general public and what they keep and leave to themselves. In addition, there is an opinion that people who died on these ships have no other graves and should rest in peace. I think that these arguments are not convincing. I believe that a difficult work of archeologists can help to restore a part of historical events. I am also convinced that it is possible to allow official salvage companies to dive near wrecks to save values. In addition, I would insist that the dead must have their graves or monuments on earth, and human remains that are found must be buried. In conclusion, I would like to say that the government should allow divers to conduct archaeological works in shipwrecks because without them we will not be able to restore important events and preserve the history of human lives.August 4, 201900

- Correct my mistakes, please The print newspaper is dead or not? Nowadays, the question of existence of print newspapers is being broadly discussed. On the one hand, it is more convenient for someone to read the paper version, on the other hand there are a lot of advantages for reading from the monitor screen. In fact, a newspaper in any form is just a means of delivering information, nothing more, isn’t it? And will the print media die completely or not? In my opinion it’s just the same as the cinema and the theater: the cinema came, many people believed that the theater would die. Paper versions of newspapers are a way of life: someone prefers to sit in a deep soft chair, get coffee and read a newspaper, someone likes reading news on the internet from a tablet being on the way to work. However, it seems to me that print newspapers all over the world are becoming the last bastion of a living and high-quality language. A big part of online publications are full of misprints, mistakes, and simply outright nonsense. In conclusion, I would like to say that I am sure that paper versions of newspapers will live as long as there are opportunities and materials for their printing. Of course, the world is constantly changing and we surround ourselves with numerous gadgets, but I love the fresh smell of printing ink and the feeling of crisp paper in my hands.August 1, 201920
- Correct my mistakes, please (if you have time) Is 26 too late to start over in a new career? (my answer to a guy aged 26) When you’re over 30 it seems to you that 26 is a young age. In that age everything is possible, not only changing careers. In my opinion you should have no doubts about changing your job in any age. Our job is a significant part of our life and it’s very important to enjoy doing it! If you feel that you are becoming unsatisfied with your current work and the time to take up something new is now - do it! It’s always hard to start over in something but who hesitates is lost. Do you think that it’s better to run in place and then to feel bad about it for the rest of your life? Any job is not worth your health! If it takes a toll on you and you have the lack of sleep - screw it! We live in the world of vast opportunities! No need to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree or even to work a full-time, you can find a job after your heart. Nowadays you can google everything and get your any question answered. Anyway you can enroll in some offline courses or sign up for online classes to improve certain skills. The main thing is to start moving right now. Don’t put off!June 18, 201931

- Don’t judge a book by its cover (correct my mistakes, please) Don’t judge a book by its cover I try not to judge a book by its cover when I meet new people. And in my turn, I expect the same from them, although it may be wrong. Some people believe that first impressions are rarely deceptive. I wouldn't say I agree with that. Rather – the first impressions can’t be made twice. But let's think about whether each of us is ready to open to strangers immediately? Is each of us so brave to feel comfortable in a new environment? I guess the answer is obvious. Nobody will ever understand what is really going on in someone soul, and what someone is made of, only by the way how you look today and whether you had time to make a beautiful hair-styling. In my life there were several cases when at first I didn’t like a person at all but after a while we struck up a friendship. When I was a kid, my mother told me, if a person is dressed in expensive and beautiful clothes, it doesn’t mean that it will be an interesting companion. Communicate, listen and appreciate each other.June 7, 201922
