Final Blogpost

Hello to everyone! This is my last but not least blog post in this trimester in which I would like to share my brief summary of this three fulfilling months with you. I’m in jubilant mood and cannot suppress my feelings. Anyway, actions speak louder than words. So, let me encroach upon a few minutes of your attention.

To tell you the truth, my expectations were not undermined. Of course, I knew that I would face the prospect of deluge of tasks and shortfall in time. However, I didn’t jump into conclusions because I was sure that I would fit in with a hectic schedule, and a real effort would be worthwhile. Mind you, my heart told me the truth. Our vocabulary classes were overwhelmed with absorbing material and tasks which we had to accomplish. I tried to prioritize this subject because I knew, “Practice makes perfect.” During this productive period of time I learned how to write blog posts, use online tools, etc. Moreover, I can definitely say that now it is not a considerable difficulty for me to google useful collocations because I became acquainted with such web-sites as www.netspeak.org, www.just-the-word.com, fraze.it, etc. Our instructor fostered initiative, so I didn’t stifle creativity and had a train of thought, while editing the newspaper and creating speaking avatar which “offered” a lucrative job with the benefits package.

I like that there were related topics in English practice and Vocabulary because it helped me not to lose track of the necessary stream of information which we got on a daily basis. I jotted down tons of new words and expressions, and mounted up their quantity in my notebook. I also tried not to bury my head in the sand, but to use my active vocabulary in different dialogues and group projects. As it is said, “Two heads are better than one”. Our classes were a classic example of this proverb because we had true team spirit, mutual respect, a moral boost, and productive cooperation with each other. That’s why I can say that my progress is a common goal.

I wish we had more opportunities to watch some videos, or short movies related to the topics. To my mind, it would also help the students not to misinterpret the meaning and correct usage of the words. By and large, I have a clear insight into this course now and anticipate its continuing. I hope we will not procrastinate our next meeting!

Houses and Buildings

My dear friends,

I’m writing to you from the Earth. Yes, you didn’t misinterpret the previous sentence and this letter isn’t a spam. Unfortunately, I broke my time machine, lost my GPS, and as a result I’ve lost track of my location. Despite I encountered difficulties, I pooled my ideas, and decided to write this letter.

To begin with, I found myself near the building. I had a train of thought. However, I didn’t bury my head in the sand, knocked at the door, and a young tall man opened it. He raised his eyebrows because he didn’t anticipate seeing an alien opposite him. Nevertheless, he invited me to come in. He told me that his name is John and he’s an owner of a design company.  I told John my story and he did me a favour because he offered me to live in his house. This man also guaranteed me absolute safety. In order not to undermine his authority, he made a phone call to his secretary and told that he would be absent from work for a week.

As I was saying, I stayed in the John’s house. It is a two-storey cottage which is located in the suburbs of Nicosia in the Republic of Cyprus. This house has up to date interior. John used his initiative and didn’t stifle creativity when he designed the interior decoration. For example: he used a concertina door instead of an ordinary entrance door. There is a studio on the ground floor, where you can see a fitted kitchen, eight chairs around a square oak dining table, a cosy grey sofa with cushions, an orange armchair, a white standard lamp, a cabinet, and some paintings on the walls. A small fitted fireplace is in the front of the sofa. A coffee table is between the fireplace and the sofa. There is a TV in the corner. There is also a small grey carpet on the grey tiled floor. This room is very spacious because of the French windows. Mind you, there are all conveniences you need, such as electric heating, air conditioning, etc. Then you can go upstairs. There are wooden staircases with metallic handrails and glass instead of balusters. Moreover, there is a landing between two sets of stairs. However, there is more ample space in John’s cottage if to compare it to our dwellings. For example: there is actually only a balcony on the upper floor. There is also an airy loft in this cottage.

The exterior of John’s cottage is also cutting-edge. The house is made of wood and stone. Furthermore, it has got a wooden sloping roof. It’s also got an extensive garage and a drive. There are a small patio at the front of the cottage and a few flowerbeds. John also told me that this house is easily accessible and easy to maintain. All in all, I definitely feel at home.

Well, I should finish now because I need to do my time machine up. I hope, I will recondition it quickly and it will be in mint condition. I look forward to seeing you. Take care!

All the best

Yours,

A-397

Creating a Company

Advertising company Train of Thought

My name is Monica Blank and I’m an owner of an advertising company Train of Thought, which works with famous mass media resources. Our motto is, “Be observant and don’t lose your train of thought.” The biggest aim of our company is to find new members of Train of Thought who will keep track of advertising trends, have new insight into ordinary things, and will not stifle their creativity. We also want to prove that the shortage of experience is not a reason to bury your head in the sand.  

Our company has some rules which we pooled in a few statements. Firstly, our employees should accomplish their tasks on time. They are solely responsible for it and accountable to their chiefs. That’s why they should use their time sparingly in order not to squander it. Secondly, they are not allowed to be absent from the work place without reasonable excuses, and to delegate their parts of work to someone else. Finally, they should maintain team spirit and mutual respect in order to fit in with each other and have productive cooperation.

The company Train of Thought offers excellent working conditions to employees because there are a lot of different kinds of benefits and perks. To begin with, all the employees have high income on a regular basis. Moreover, we also have a bonus scheme. For example: if our employees win an important tender and it is their common goal, they will mount up bonuses. As a result, this group of co-workers may anticipate higher salaries. That’s why I may guarantee that our stuff hasn’t got shortfall in money. As an owner of the company I value my employees and prioritize their rights. We provide every one of them with comprehensive healthcare provision, 35 days’ holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leaves, etc. They may also break off doing their tasks from the hectic schedule and go to subsidized canteen twice per day. We don’t work unsociable hours, and halt working day at 6 pm.

We have free vacancies for PR-Managers, copywriters, and marketing managers. If you are prudent, inclined to think critically and know how to break the deadlock, if you want to set an example how to tackle the problem successfully and boost morale, we will foster your initiative. By and large, don’t procrastinate our meeting. Train of Thought is waiting for YOU!
