Final topic "Communication"

Have you ever thought about the way we communicate?
As you know we can communicate not only using words, but we can also express ourselves by using body language. Do you know that gives more reliable information than the words we speak?
Take the lies, for example. How can you understand that a person is lying? if someone is not being entirely honest with you, you should watch if they scratch their nose or don't look you strate in the face. Body language is something that the majority of us cannot control; it's what escapes when we're concentrating on something else. I might think   I am creating a good impression because my voice is strong and steady and my speech is clear, but the sweat pouring off my forehead and my constantly moving feet say otherwise.

Apparently, that we can name some more ways of communication for instance, music. Music is an international language that brings people together and has the ability to break down the language barriers which so often divide us. People like to have fun and very often different  musical events are the musicians come from all over the world, from Alaska to Zanzibar.
I recommend you to visit WOMAD festival, the festival which broadens our horizons, getting us away from the music we hear on the radio or TV every day.

And even if you think that you know a language quite weel, aware that there may be some versions of the language you know you may face these versions in isolated parts of the world, Furthermore, sometimes people adapt language to make it more user-friendly as it was happened native Russian speakers living in New York.

Also, nowadays the English language is a lingua franca due to flexibility.  Whatever part of the world English took root in. People add new vocabulary and use their own unique pronunciation or accent.

To sum it up, mind different ways of communication and stay tuned!

Asking For Advice     


 Dear Anna,

 Thank you for your letter! I'm glad to hear that you've passed all of your school exams! Congratulations!



I'm sorry. I have not written for such a long time. I was trevelling a lot during these months. So I did not have any free time!

Anyway, there is one thing I would like you to help me with. I am going to have the most important exams in my life in the end of this academic year. And I am so nerveous. Firstly, I have so much stress at school. I mean, I try to my best, but I still think that it's not enought. Also my parents press me at home . To my mind, My emotional state will lead to depression very soon . I have insomnia! And this thing really kills me. In the other words, I am desperate. So, what can I do?


In the other hand, I know that you had the same problems last year. Furthermore, you are struggled with them in a very good way. Could you please give me some recommendations. Do you think I should buy the restful? And do you have any idea about how to orgonise my timetable right? I hope to get your answer soon.

Love, 

Sophi



Giving Advise 

Dear Sophi, 

I was so happy to get something from you after two month! Firstly, I was so surprised when I was reading about your broblem. I didn't believe that you may be nerveous. So, of course I will give you some tips and advise.


First of all, do not buy any special mediciane! I also had such idea last year, but the chineese green tea helped me to be relaxed. 

Secondly, the most important thing to do is make a revision timetable. Moreover, make sure you include regular breaks and sport exercises in your time table.No doubts, it's gonna help you to feel better. 

Also, I guess that you need to have a serious talk with your parents, try to explain them that in this period of life you need their love and support. 

Furthermore, I recommend you not to stay up all night studying, as you will be to sleeapy to concentrrate and still have insomnia after.


All in all, don't worry about the exams, I am absolutelly sure you will be fine. And I hope things get better. 

Love, 

Anna

 Refusing Letter

Dear Anastasia, 

It was so nice to get the letter from you! How do you do? I would like to thank you for the kind invitation.
To my mind your party is a wonderful way to have a lot of fun and make unforgetable memories. 

Unfortunatly, I am afraid I will be not able to make it. As you should know my parents celebrated the anniversary of their wedding. So,  on this occasion we plan to go on a trip to Europe. I really feel sorry, that I can't go. 
I want to let you know that my mother has dreamt about visiting Paris and Milan for a long time! And the dreams come true. I hope that you will be happy for us. 

Anyway, I am sure that your party will be the best event of this year. Your organizational skills are very high quality. 

All in all, thank you so much for your invitation. It means a lot for me. I hope you will enjoy your time

Love,

Kate
