A Letter To A Friend
Dear Irina,
I’m very pleased to hear from you again! I’m glad to know that you’ve settled brilliantly on campus and got acquainted with different foreign students. You are lucky enough that your academic year hasn’t started yet. But my studies began on the 1st of September and to tell the truth I have rather mixed impressions of my 4th university year.
Our fist day at the university began with rather difficult lesson of oral practice in English. I can’t say that this subject is too difficult, the teacher is too demanding. She supposes that there are no any other subjects except of her one. From the very beginning she gave us an enormous amount of homework, that’s why my weekend was spoiled and I spent almost all Sunday reading, translating and then of course learning by heart a huge text. Luckily, the first day of my 4th academic year finished with an interesting slide show on the History of English.
But things went worse with our further days at the university. Our light-hearted dreams of easy staying there have been desperately crashed. The farther we were going the stronger we were realizing that the 4th academic year promised to be the hardest one. We have four different types of English classes and every teacher considers his aspect to be the most essential one. One step sideway means immediate punishment. I know the discipline is very important for effective study, but how teachers can’t understand that we also want to have our time off free. Moreover we have to spend a month at school. This year we have practice session in teaching English. To be honest, the need of the forthcoming unknown event frightens a little. But I think I’ll cope with it.
That’s all about my first impression about the 4th year. May be you’ll tell me something about your own experience in brief. May be you’re a bit happier to have free weekends. Give my regards to your new friends and of course to your parents. I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Lyuda.

Progress rules our life. It has made a huge print on our lifestyle, our minds, our economy. We don't see our life without all the gadgets anymore. We think for example how borring woulde be our life with those old-fashioned love letters, if we idn't have SMS. But on the other hand our human relationships now are so primitive, so electronically conducted. Many people now are unemployed, as they have been rapidly replaced by inanimate machines. So too do the parents, they are so busy in earning money as they replace the parental wormth by different computer games and individual computerised activities.
So, people stop being cold, electronic robots of course if you don't want to have a firmly computerised electronic future.

If I had an opportunity to play a movie part it would be...
The magic world of the cinema has been drawing my imagination since the very childhood. Beautiful life, expensive apartments, handsome men and attractive women took my breath away every time I was dreaming of becoming an actress. I dareamt of the Oscar and the Red Carpet. I saw myself on the stage, saying "thanks" to my Mom and Dad. I wanted to be surrounded by glamour, luxury and crowds of my fans.
how attractively sounds the world "Hollywood". the factory of dreams of the world cinema industry. And in this special world I'd like to perfome a role of James Bond's girlfriend. Perhaps, you'll ask "why?", and I'll say that it's just a deram to end up on the shooting spot with Daniel Craig. I know why my choice is for the action film, The Bondiade is the embodyment of the man's brave, strenght and sex appeal. But other performers of James Bondseem not to be so hot as Daniel Craig is. I think it's a bliss to be his girlfriend in the film and in reality of course. High speed, expensive sport cars and he... It's impossible not to fall in love with Bond. But all his girlfriendshave tragic fates. However I know this is not my case.
If I were his girlfriend our romance would be a special hot experience in his life- unbelievable and unforgotten...

"There was no possibility of taking a walk that day"
My car broke down. I could do nothing. My boyfriend drove me away. I couldn't do a thing with my closest friend. No possibility of taking a walk, of having a word with someone. I went home. I sank into the bed and tried to sleep. But useless. There was a call at the phone. Someone mixed up numbers. But only my cat was keeping on purring as nothing had happened.

"The need of the forthcoming flight scared me to death"
As there are a lot of aircrashes today I'm afraid of travelling by air and the very word "flight"scares me to death. But I had to be in St.Petersburg last Sunday and there was no possibility of going there by train. An unpleasant inevitability was to be faced with. I booked tickets and was desperately waiting for the hated flight. When I turned up on board, panic overwhelmed me. I was so scared that immediately fell asleep. I woke up in St.Petersburg. I saw the ground and I thought :"Oh, if every flight is so smooth, I'lllike planes soon".

The created atmosphere is achieved by transmitting to us,the readers the feelings and the emotional states of the characters. by means of special stylistic devices appropriately and carefully chosen by the author, we embark in the description of nature and weather disasters. It seems as we pass through the severe weather with the main heroes. It is made to reach our souls, to take our breath and make us feel compassionate with the characters.
I remember one extract from the short storey "Three men in a boat" written by J.K.Jerome. But this is an exactly opposite description, a very positive and bright one. There author creates the atmosphere of tranquility, peace and floating happiness describind sweet homes, red bricks and fragrant of bursting flowers.
