Me Before YoubyJojo Moyes
Most of you watched this film, but I read only a book and I just can't make myself watch the movie, I don't know why it's so hard for me 🥲 But the story is fantastic!
📖 Overview
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
Today was such a long day, I’ve been writing and working on the presentation for my diploma since early morning – I can’t do it at home, so we went to a nice cafe on Arbat Street ☀️ I’m looking forward to finally defending my diploma, feeling so squeezed 🥲
VOCABULARY PRACTICE 🇬🇧
So, today our topic is social media, by the way it is one of popular topics at the exams, so this vocabulary can be useful🎓
▫️Viral [if a post/ video is viral or “has gone viral,” that means it is spreading very rapidly across]
▫️Badger [to bother someone repeatedly]
▫️Derogatory [offensive, hurtful]
▫️Censor [to keep certain images. Texts, etc from being displayed or published because it is offensive or immoral]
▫️Harass [to create a hostile situation through written or verbal communication]
▫️Catfishing [the act of creating a false internet profile in order to deceive or scam someone]
▫️Grooming [preparing someone (often a minor) over the internet in order to eventually commit a sexual offense]
▫️Influencer [a person who promotes a product online to his/her followers so that they may purchase it]
▫️Scam [a dishonest attempt to trick or cheat you]
Do you think people will use social media more or less in the future? Why do you think bullying on the internet has become so widespread?

I guess it’s been a long time since I shared any magazine with you last time – so here it is 🙌🏻 I have found an interesting article on mindful and eco-friendly tourism.
Enjoy 🧚🏻
Guys, I'm so excited!
Finally I found a suitable platform where new Speaking Club meetings will be held - we're working on new pair activities, so I needed a platform where people can be divided into pairs and prepare some material together. Today I got an exclusive commercial offer and I'm happy to accept it, cause I really liked all the suggested functions on this very platform ✨
I guess that I'll use it in future with my student also, cause one of the main features of my lessons is convenience in use, so I try to make my online-lessons as comfortable as it's possible 💫
The End of TV?
Tom Collins offers his opinion
I keep reading articles that argue the TV is dead. According to this view, people are spending far more time using the Internet for their entertainment and for information. As a result, they argue the TV is becoming less and less important in our lives. The time we spend watching videos online is certainly increasing but I don't think this is a reason to believe we should be saying goodbye to the television.
The TV is still a very popular way a lot of us get our entertainment at home. It offers us the chance to see top musical artists, great films and documentaries and sometimes, thanks to important live events, it has the power to bring the whole country and all ages together in a way the Internet never could. How often do thousands or even millions of friends or families sit down at the same time to watch something together online?
Some people argue that the TV offers a poor quality of programmes on the many channels we now have. It is certainly true that many of the channels do nothing more than repeat old shows or offer cheap, low quality programmes. However, I would argue that a lot of content on the Internet isn't particularly great. At least TV shows have professional people checking the quality of shows, which a lot of content on the web doesn't.
I agree that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, even though much of it is not true or certainly can't be trusted. I enjoy sitting down to the news on TV in the evening, knowing that I am more likely to believe the information than the things I read online. Anybody can post information on the Internet and a lot of it is opinion rather than fact.
So I don't think we should be so quick to say goodbye to the TV. In fact, I think it has many more years left in it! I certainly won't be swapping my TV for the latest laptop and will continue to enjoy relaxing in front of it in the evenings.
Let's practise reading together! I'll send you the text and quizzes with questions after it. Your task is to read it and answer the questions after it ✨
OMG guys, I just can’t help sharing with you what I’ve found – it’s a YouTube channel with short films in English, it can be a little bit difficult for B1, but in general you can get the idea of the film 🎥
This is the first video that I recommend you to watch – click here 💛
SUMMER VOCABULARY: COLLOCATIONS 🌿
Keep Out Of The Sun
E.g. Be careful when you’re on holiday. Apply lots of sun cream, keep hydrated and keep out of the midday sun if you can.
Sit In The Sun
E.g. I can’t sit in the sun for very long with my fair skin.
The Sun Is In Your Eyes
E.g. The sun is in my eyes, I can’t see a thing.
Shield Your Eyes From The Sun
E.g. I wear a wide hat to shield my eyes from the sun.
A Drop Of Rain
E.g.Their simple wedding ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect, and there wasn’t a drop of rain that day.
Finally! I can feel this summer days ✨ However, the weather is quite moody today. It was really hot during the whole day and even hard to breath but now its raining heavily. Anyway I like summer rains more than autumn ones 🌱
I hope that in near future all of you will have this opportunity to sigh with relief after exams or hard working weekdays & enjoy summer 🧚🏻
