Coursera. Week 4
This assignment has two parts. First, write 5 sentences with collocations or phrasal verbs from this week's lessons. Make sure to use them correctly. Then think about other tricky English words or phrases that give you difficulty. Use a dictionary to look them up. List at least 5 new tricky English words or phrases that were not mentioned in this class and explain their meanings using your own words. If the words or phrases are hard to understand, give an example too. Then use the new words or phrases in sentences.
1.I have to go, I need to do my homework.
2.Before going to bed, brush your teeth.
3.Never give up on achieving your dream.
4.Keep on studying, I will not disturb you.
5.I am looking for my phone.
1. Saying `the English` or `English language` is wrong. You have to use `English` or `the English language`.
2. Using `5-years-old` is wrong. The right variants are `5-year-old` and `5 years old`.
3. The sentence `I want him help me` is wrong. You need to use `to` before the second verb.
4. The sentence `She said they will love her` is wrong. `She said they would love her` is right because of sequence of tenses.
5. The sentece `However they admitted it.` is wrong, because you need to put a coma after linking words.

Coursera Week 3
Type your story below. Make sure you use at least 10 words from this week's lessons.
A Sad Story or My Dear Mrs.Beautyspot
Do you love your neighbours? I used to.
I adored an old woman with a kind heart. She wore funny green glasses because she had the weak sight like everyone of her age had.
I spent probably every summer day of my childhood in her garden. Mrs.Beautyspot, that was her name, baked incredibly tasty cakes, so I was a huge fan of her desserts. We ate, drank much tea and had long cosy conversations, It was the best leisure time ever, I swear! I haven't been so addicted to different websites and social networks yet. I've just lived and enjoyed!
Besides, Mrs.Beautyspot had an absolutely fantastic library. It was my source of inspiration. I felt like a fish in water, trust me! Some books were often borrowed by me. As far as I remember, my first choice was "Alice in Wonderland". Since that time I can hardly imagine even a day without a book. Mrs.Beautyspot called me the bookworm. She advised me what to read and what wasn't worth my attention. Sometimes we had competitions, you know... Mrs.Beautyspot was farther along in any book than I was. What an excitement!
Last night I was reading "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and thinking of Mrs.Beautyspot. It was her favourite novel about high feelings.
It was such a pleasure to go through the pages and collect those sweet memories in my soul.
God, I'm grateful immensely for Mrs.Beautyspot's influence on my life. I wish she were still alive...

A few words about life...
Type your story below. Make sure you use at least 10 words from this week's lessons.
Take a deep breath and relax for a minute. You are alive, you are not dead. Choose a positive thinking. Treat yourself with a tasty dessert. Smile at other people, your residence is society, not a desert. It doesn`t matter you are a resident of a small or big house. Try to enjoy every moment of your life. If you don`t have enough money, you may borrow it from your friends. They would be happy to lend it to you. Anyway, work hard. Make your choice to a healthy way of life. Say "not" to deadly bad habits. Observe the traffic rules not to become a victim of a fatal accident. But try not to be late, it`s impolite. Follow my advice!!! I wish you breathed and dreamt, flew high, were not sick. Good luck!

A model.
Type your story below. Make sure you use at least 10 words from this week's lessons.
I have got a friend. She is a model, because she is tall and slim. She had to make a hard choice, because firstly she wanted to become a vet. All her life she was getting a lot of compliments and I advised her to try to become a model. She tried a free training and then she awarded a contract for thefurther 5 years. However, she abandoned eating desserts to stay slim. But a big advantage is that she travels around the world and last year had a fantastic photosession on Sahara Desert. Lately she keeps thanking me for helping her to find her place in the world. She likes this so much! Now shehardly imagine herself as a vet.

Задание, оцениваемое сокурсниками: Confusing Word Forms Assignment
Вы прошли тест!
Congratulations. You earned 10 / 10 points. Review the feedback below and continue the course when you are ready. You can also help more classmates by reviewing their submissions.
Cinema
Cinema plays an important role in the life of any society. It is an available popular form of art. Lots of people find going to the cinema one of the best ways of spending their leisure time. The movie audience is predominantly a young one.
Due to numerous video facilities, cinema attendances have declined sharply. But there is no denying the fact that the cinema-going habit is still a strong one.
No matter how large the place you live in is (whether it's a big city or a small provincial town, or even a settlement) there's most likely to be a cinema there.
There are such genres of feature films as the western, the thriller, the musical, the drama and the comedy. The performance lasts for two or three hours and most cinemas have at least 4 performances a day. There is no doubt that a good cinema show is an excellent entertainment and quite cheap. Of late cinema screens in this country have been dominated by films produced in the USA. And this tendency is growing.
As for me, I'm fond of going to the cinema. It's a pity, I don't always have time for it. It's an open secret that we live in a very difficult time now. But people do need something amusing and pleasant, something to laugh at. That's why I give my preference to comedies. The last comedy, I saw, is «Crocodile Dandy». The film tells about amusing adventures of a young lovely woman — reporter and a strong and brave crocodile hunter. At first, their relations were not friendly. She even looked down on him and he in return neglected her. But after he rescued her out of some difficult situations, their relations became more friendly. A happy end is an essential feature of American films. The same is true of this comedy. The main characters fall in love with each other in the end of the film.

Egypt
Type your story below. Make sure you use at least 10 words from this week's lessons.
There are moments in every person`s life when he wants to travel.That`s why if you want to see the longest river in the world,ancient structures and the Sahara Desert,you have to visit Egypt.Every year millions of tourists come to Egypt for beach vacation:they lay on the sade,swim,breathe fresh air and admire a beautiful sight.Moreover,they can taste delicious desserts and soft drinks which complement each other well.The brave tourists often choose extreme kinds of entertainment,for example,they go down the Nile or travel on a ballon.The local residents are very friendly and they always say compliments. You can even ask them for advice and they will try to advise you the best they can.

The more languages you know - the more times you are a human
Hello, everybody!
First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Maria and I'm from small village in Lugansk region, Ukraine. But now I live in Symu, becouse of entering Symu State University. Unfortunately, I have never practiced with Internet courses, but I have had some spesial courses in my school. It was preparing for my final exams. By and large, my key objective is to improve my English grammar. I agree with the expression "The more languages you know - the more times you are a human", so I want to be a human as many times as possible. But I must overcome some difficulties and work hard for being perfect in this specialization. There are some points in English grammar that make me crazy! For example, inasmuch as I'm a native speaker of Ukrainian, I got accustom to Ukrainian word order in senteces, but English one is different from our own. It's naturally for all languages. Anyway, nobody is perfect, but through practice everebody can close to ideal!

Success in life. What does success come from?
Type your paragraph here. Be sure to use at least 10 nouns and to use articles and quantifiers correctly.
My father always says to me that success and fortune are very similar things. But I dont agree with him. From my own expirence I know so many people who do nothing to be satisfied and successful. They have been waiting for a miracle since their childhood, but nothing is happend. To my mind success is the ability to set a goal and do everything to achieve it.There are many problems and difficulties in our life. So, if you want, you will be able to solve all of them. John Quincy Adams once said: "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish..." This quote has become my favourite one. Have you ever met people without any problems? I am sure, you haven't. Neither have I. Once I was a failure and then my friend told me a very useful thing:"If life throws lemons at you, crush and drink juice!" Thete were the right words for me at that moment. Since then I have always tried to crush.

My favourite book
They say that good books cannot become old. I can say the same about the books of a unique English writer of the 19th century, Charlotte Bronte. She is one of the best representatives of the English realism trend. My favourite book by Charlotte Bronte is the novel that brought her fame, «Jane Eyre». «Jane Eyre» is an autobiographical novel. The main character is a shy girl, who has, however, a strong will and is independent. From her childhood Jane learned that she could rely only on herself. She came from a poor family, studied at Lowood institution for poor children, where she had to face many difficulties. But she learned to overcome her fears and troubles. She was also able to sympathize with other people and give a helping hand in a difficult situation.
