Margo's journal entry

We had a chance to look through a theme that had been discussed at the Cardiff On-line’s forum. I chose the topic about using poetry in teaching English language. There was a great number of comments and to say the truth I didn’t read till the very end but I liked the part I had opportunity to read. I liked the idea people spoke about. On the last year’s main cours of English we learned a poem. It was rather long so we had to remember it little by little. It helps very much with right pronouociation of difficult words such as “corps” and “sword”. Besides I am interested in poetry since school so I believe it would be great if we have learned more poems and literature.

Reference to Cardiff Online Forum

I've got acquainted with the forum discussion of the topic What is critical thinking? The author of the topic, Sue, opened the discussion on the question what people do during the class when the hub is critical thinking. Under this term she means what kinds of tasks are involved and how students are tought to think critically, especially in a conversation with other adult students or tutors. Some members of the forum discussion say that critical thinking helps to put recieved knowledge into life, but there is a point which showes that not all knowledge is usefull in life, for example, studying physics at the university a person can't use the knowledge of this field of science for such an ordinary act as repairing an iron. But when one speaks about critical thinking s/he means, in general, two components: 'a set of skills to generate information and beliefs, and the habit, based in intellectual commitment, of using those skills to guide behaviour'. According to these components one can say that each person has his individual critical thinking.

How Green Is My Bottle?

Have you ever think what the word “green” means? I always think that it is something environmentally friendly. Often we have to choose from two evils the least one but it appears that sometimes we are mistaken. Daniel Goleman and Gregory Norris researched the damage on the environment using the stainless steel water and plastic bottles. I was surprised that the stainless steel water bottle needs seven times as much fossil fuel, frees 14 times more greenhouse gases, involves the extraction of hundreds of times more metal resources and causes hundreds of times more toxic risk to people and ecology than a 32-gram plastic bottle makes. So what things we use calling them “green”! Is there really innocuous material that we can use in our everyday life without any risk?

Annie Dentsova's Journal Entry

I have read the article about Free Relationships recently. It is about many young people in the modern world who are not aimed at building their own families. They live only for their own pleasure at the present moment, so they don’t think about the future. These young people want to be independent and not to have any responsibilities to their lovers. It leads to the relations for a night when they don’t need to know even their names. That’s why a lot of young people go to a night club having this purpose on their minds. Such relations cause the wrong valuable’s priority. Young people begin to deny family’s importance in the life. They think that money and entertainments give much more pleasure. But I guess it is the wrong point of you. When you have the person who you really love and trust you are a happy person. Of course, it is difficult to build lasting relations but the result will give you real pleasure, not fake one.
