    When going on a diet, or even just trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, we all encounter one problem – willpower – and to be precise, the limited amount of this resource. Each decision, to not eat this delicious chocolate cake is slowly (but surely!) decreasing the strength of our decision to not consume unnecessary calories.(This sentence is very long. Maybe try something like 'Every time we decide not to eat... slowly (but surely) decreases our stamina in the fight against unnecessary calories'. ) Later when our willpower is depleted, we just close our eyes and pick up some candy, with feelings of guilt and pity (self-pity?). What if there is another way? What if you can have your cake and eat it too?

    It is possible – and these are the origins of Healthy Cake Competition. You can eat a yummy cookie and not be flooded by unhealthy nutrients (Not a great phrase. Maybe something like 'not feel guilty for eating unhealthily'). There are plenty of healthy recipes out there not only for trendy salads but also for cakes and cookies. Would you like to accept the challenge? Take part in the competition and at the same time help to spread the healthy habit to your colleagues.

    How to participate:
    1. Bake a cake – that is both healthy and tasty
    2. Bring it to Cafeteria on the 6th of March at 12:00
    3. Tell the Jury (Judges?) how it was made and what makes it so healthy 

    Jury – will be comprised of Experts from Vitarian Cake Lecture 

    Everyone is free to try the cakes after the Jury’s tasting :) 


    We are expecting some mind-blowing pastries on Friday…
    Will you be the One to gain the Immortal Glory by sharing your (devilishly good?) Angel Food Cake? (unfortunately I have used all of my creativity on the previous announcement, and don't know how to make a funny reference to some cakes :( )

    Will internet and modern technologies replace a written word as a main source of information?

    Have you ever heard that e-books and internet will replace the written word as the main souce of information? Of course, you have. To my mind this has almost happened.
    To begin with, electronic readers have gradually become more and more convenient for users. Comparative consideration of electronics shows that over last decades these devices have become so powerful and their appearance so magnificent that they could be regarded as an excellent equivalent to books.
    Secondly, these technologies save our forests which are known to be the lungs of the Earth. Increasing of survival rate of trees is a very important point/issue since humanity faces strong environmental problems. In my opinion, the greatest advantage of the internet and computers is the possibility to store an entire library in a single device no bigger than a common book. Just imagine it! Using only one device we are able to save a forest! What is more, many magazines (have) stopped printing paper issues and turned to on-line publications in order to reduce material losses and maximise profits.
    In spite of all of the facts listed above, there are some disadvantages to internet reading. First of all, monitors cause substantial damage to eyes. Besides this, high-tech gears are much less reliable than non-electric mechanisms or things (methods? items?) and consequently, paper-based notebooks and books will serve (continue to be used?) for reading and writing in places such as pilots' cabins in planes, spaceships, scientific laboratories and so on.
    To sum up, the written word will never disappear but modern technologies have made remarkable progress, turning books into highly specialized tools.

    Thank you for kind attention! I would greatly appreciate it if you could estimate my IELTS mark for such essay.

     

    I could not estimate your mark I'm afraid but it is an interesting topic and you have some good ideas. Good luck!

    Presentation part1

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my presentation.
    My name is Arn Walden
    The topic of my presentation today is «digital art».
    The reason that this topic is useful for you is How to bring a message in a creation»
    We are going to talk about art.
    These are, firstly, the context.
    Secondly, the composition.
    Finally we’re/I am going to speak/talk about colors and light
    Due to the limited amount of time I have today, just seven minutes,
    I’d appreciate it if you would keep your questions until the end. Thank you.

     

    'These are' does not make sense because you have not said what 'these' are.


    If this is oral, this is a fine presentation. If you are going to give it to somebody in written form. I would recommend 'do not' and 'I would' instead of 'don't' and 'I'd'.

    Diary 1 Mar.

    I have two new roommates who are both 23 years old. They are very young for me (They are much younger than me?).
    One of them is from Mexico, the other is from Spain.
    They were meant to come here on Sunday but the Spanish girl didn't come/arrive and we were waiting for her until 1 am.
    It turns out that the staff who picked her up drove her to wrong host family. Finally she arrived this evening.
    The Spanish girl lives in the same room as me. She gave me the impression of being kind of like a little boy.
    I have to get used to living with her.

    1. "before gravity would take its inevitable effect" - I would not say it is slang but it refers to gravity 'taking effect' on her face i.e. getting older and her skin sagging and her becoming less attractive. 2. “You’ve put me in a tent? At a festival? What the hell?” Sam Redwood was not a happy man. 3. “No shit, Sherlock. Look at that Don, even the old bald guys are getting laid and I’m stuck in a tent. A tent means a tent in this context I think. At music festivals, people sleep in tents in camping grounds. 'You've put me in a tent' means that the person has assigned him a tent/not provided somewhere else for him. 'Stuck...' means that he has no other option available to him.
