Good afternoon, Yulia.

Today I’m ready to send the tasks. I watched five videos. It was useful as well for the improvement of listening skills, as for my outlook. I figured out the thesis of the statement in each performance and determined methods that speakers used to make their introductory more interesting.

    https://www.ted.com/talks/charles_c_mann_how_will_we_survive_when_the_population_hits_10_billion

The first speaker is a science journalist and he was speaking about surviving on the planet. Outbreaks in nature don’t end well 
And it doesn’t matter which way of thinking about it you are going to choose. There are many technologies in our modern society, we can use it to guide our future. But are we actually doing this, are we thinking about long-prosperities and how can we achieve it with the help of new inventions? The answer is, we shouldn’t be divided into imaginary groups, we just should work together to have many paths to success and possibilities. In this case we will be amazing, we can safe not only a humankind but all other recourses that we need.

The speaker used references at the beginning of his speech.

The second speech was very alive and emotional the orator have chosen the method of asking questions which were rhetorical and make people think about their values.
You should open and look at the window of possibilities, never give up and be upset. After some fails you are still alive, just go back to the ring and stay there even after you take a few hits, use what you learned from those previous fights and at the end of each round, you’ll remain still standing

I really like the third performance; it was very honest and perfect. I think that orator used the most dangerous way to give the information. In my opinion, it was making a startling statement. However, I was involved to the speech all the time, it was really interesting for me. The main thought that I figured out is that most of adults know why children drop out a study, they know why kids don’t learn and it’s not unexpected thing. Despite of different reforms, it’s still very hard to teach and understand pupils
Besides, no one think about The value and importance of Hyman connection. By the way, no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship. From my point of view, this is the main thesis. 

4) https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action?referrer=playlist-the_most_popular_talks_of_all%C2%A0

The speaker used quotatins in hes speech.  He was speaking about golden circle. Every person on the planet know WHAT they do, some know how they do it, but very few people or organizations know why they do it. It means that these people or organizations know about your reasons, your beliefs and your purpose. The goal isn’t to do business with everybody who needs what you have, that’s why some companies are leaders, that’s why some companies are lost. It’s very

important to understand what others people need, especially, if you are producing new products for people. You should inspire them to buy your product.

5) https://www.ted.com/talks/cameron_russell_looks_aren_t_everything_believe_me_i_m_a_model?nolanguage=en%C2%A0

Here are a talk of young model, she was had been working a Model during 10 years. As I see it, she uses one of the methods of attention- getter, it’s telling a story about her work, about her feeling and sincere emotions
The main idea of her story is that looks aren’t everything, image is powerful, but it’s not your spirit, it’s just your appearance that you can change with the help of make up artists and stylists
I gave this speaker 3 point, it seems we to be that she was honest and open to the audience. 

I have chosen a topic for my speech which is called "Is it important too be yourself ? "

- Why should I want to talk about this?  When I entered the University I understood how it is important to be yourself with all advantages and disadvantages and not seemed to be like someone
- Why should anybody want to listen to me? All of us once think about confidence, internal force, strength of mind and many others things. Sometimes negative emotions prevent of being who we are. All people think about how to forget about such feelings as a disappointment, uncertainty, timidity, self-pity, unhappiness. I just want to give a piece of advice and to share with my experience.
- What single message would I want to put across?  We should appreciate our individuality, but on no account  be afraid of it and hide.

- When they all walk away what state would I like them to leave in? From my point of view, my speech will help them to feel relief and be more independent, more significant and more confident.

 Challange 3. To tell somebody that I do not like something.

It was always difficult for me to  argue with somebody, because I understand that all people have different views on some things. For example, it’s very hard for me to tell my neighbor that she disturbs me, talking by telephone, it’s  really difficult to refuse my friends in meeting and the most difficult thing for me to tell  a waiter that I don’t like taste of the dish or drink  that was prepared for me. Yesterday it was my birthday and I ordered a cup of coffee with a piece of cake. Actually, I didn’t like this coffee because I didn’t feel the taste of peanut butter at all  and I had to ask my waiter to change it on another one. However, my waiter refused to change it, because he thought that the taste of coffee must be the same. Then, manager tried it and agreed to change. So, I overcame one more fear.

 The first task.

h-words

Happy, habit, honest, health,heaven, hand, hail,horse,holiday, house, humor, hour,hot,hill heart, hospitable

The second task.

One day I met my father’s colleague from his work. As I know, he is a bigwig, but he was working in the zoo doing mixed types of work on weekends. He held something in his hands looks like a blade, having noticed me, he gave me a bright smile

The third task.

What if there were no desks in the classrooms, but only beanbags?
Here are my 7 ideas:
1. We will lie on them and watch on screens which are on the ceiling
2. We shouldn’t write any more, because all our lessons are speaking 

3. We will have lessons of fighting with this beanbags
4. Most of students will be sleeping
5. We will used to write on a soft place
6. We will set our laptops on it and use keyboard instead of pens and copybooks
7. We will have a cup of tea before the beginning of the lesson because there will be cozy atmosphere in the class.

            The fourth task.

        

     “How many foreign languages should be taught to students in school?” 

   In my opinion, this question is rather difficult. Firstly, it depends on the level of the school and pupils studying in it. What is more, we should take into account that nowadays there are different students, pupils, all of them have their own outlook, many of them try to single out from the crowd, and that’s why they use peculiar methods. One of them try to be notable with the help of knowledge, while others have an experience with their appearance. Moreover, English is becoming more and more popular today. From my point of view, after some years almost all people will learn it or even already know it. Who knows?  Consequently, it wouldn’t be enough to teach only one English, more than that, it should become obligatory.

   As for me,  it will be a great opportunity to teach three different language. For example, English, German and Chinese. The last one is very difficult for understanding. However, some people are fond of learning it and taking to pieces difficult information during the long cozy evenings, writing hieroglyphs. The school can just give a wonderful opportunity and then children have to make a decision, choosing what is better for them.

  Undoubtedly, children and their parent always should remember that learning languages requires a lot of time and efforts, you should be very tolerant and charmed by your affair. Just remember,  it requires very hard work, but it will surely help you in your future.

The second fear.

A short story.

Go on holiday alone.

My hometown is Sayonogorsk, and now I live in Novosibirsk. When it’s time to go home, usually I go back home with my friend or with my boyfriend and on this vacation, no one could go with me, I was very sad and depressed about this fact, but  I couldn’t do anything and I had to go home by train alone.  I had an experience travelling by train I knew all what should I do. Firstly, you show your tickets, go to your place. Then, you get a bed linen and that’s all. To tell you the truth, I still didn’t  know why I was so afraid of traveling alone, because now I’ve never minded be alone

Task 2

I really love video number 1, I even wrote down some tips, because they inspirited me. At this every utterances was the purpose of author's speech. For example, we should innovate and use new individualized methods of education; we should create new solution for interesting education. It's very crucial thing to feed your spirit. It's about passion and what excites our spirit and our energy. If we are doing the thing that really love, you are good at, hours fell like five minutes and if we are doing something that resonate our spirit, five minutes fells like an hour. 

That's why we should change the model of uninteresting thing, we should find in it something positive, a goal, that will bring us new aspects and knowledge. 

Not just change, but also think positively

The second video tells us that we should not be afraid of something,you  should give a chance to any accidental case.Who knows maybe this definite case can turn upside down your life.In my opinion, it was the purpose of the speech 

TASK 1. 

Speech 1. 

You are a primary school teacher. You should give a speech to your third graders on the following topic: “Why children should listen to their parents.”

- Why should I want to talk about this? I want to talk about this because it is really important topic. Children do not understand that they don’t know a lot of significant things about everyday life and I am as teacher should explain them, but in easy of access way.

- What single message would I want to put across? « You should listen to your parents because, they genuinely care for your well-being. They want you to be successful in life, as well as to be happy. Sometimes it seems for you that it is overprotection. Actually, the reason is that they don’t want you to hurt yourself, but not because they don't want you to have fun with your friends»
- What need in the audience do I want to have satisfied when I have finished speaking? I believe that after my speech children will think over my words and draw a conclusion.
- When they all walk away what state would I like them to leave in? I want them to feel support from me. I don’t want to speak with them like small children I want to explain really crucial things by simple words and I want them to have feeling of proud of theirself that they can realize and accept that they should listen to their parents not because they are small, because their parents really love them.

Speech 2. 

You are working as a team leader in a summer language camp with high school students from the whole region. On the second day you are noticing that some guys and girls hesitate to meet new people or make friends within the team. You decide to take action and give a talk to your team stating “You will learn most from friends that are different from you.”

Every man faces with difficult situations, embarrassment moments, disappointed tings and many other negative points but not every person can overcame it and accept it in the right way. Perhaps, my speech will help some people make the right decision in some cases.
- What single message would I want to put across? People should understand that it’s perfectly normal to feel anger, upset, embarrassment, grief. Generally speaking,  we should not numb negative emotions, because when we numb fear, shame, grief we numb positive emotions, such as joy, gratitude, happiness and we cannot make yourself stronger without our weak points.
- When they all walk away what state would I like them to leave in? I want to make my audience feel relief, I want them to understand that our weaknesses are our strength and peculiarities. To be vulnerable means to overcome difficulties and be better than yesterday. 

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring” this quote make me think about maybe the most important thing in our life – being yourself.

I want to tell you a story.

Well, I live in the hostel and, you know, there are a lot people there, all of them are different. Everyone has its own habits, peculiarities, strangeness and  behavior. In these conditions, you have to live and learn how to communicate with different people. However, it is very important to fell the boarders between politeness and indulgence of somebody’s desire. You shouldn’t  be afraid of saying that you really don’t like, you should not agree with the majority if you have another opinion. In other case, people will think that all is well, you agree to live as they want and they never know about your point of view.

Who you are and say what you feel makes you brave, strong, independent, and  what is more interesting person.

Why we should be yourself.  Now I want to give you some reasons

1.    When you are able to have a solid foundation of being you, you are establishing your own sense of identity. No matter what happens in your life, you will always know who you are.

2.    When you are not yourself, you will take on the values and beliefs of others. This is when you start conforming to other people’s expectations and way of thinking. When you know your values and why you do what you do, you will live according to your own values and beliefs

3.    Build courage. It takes a great amount of courage when you decide to take the path that goes against the crowd. The reason why the majority of people take the broad path is because it’s easy. It’s easy to just follow the crowd. It’s more of a challenge when you stay true to yourself and establish your own identity.

4.    When you stay true to who you are, you are more likely to know the goals you want to achieve .You are able to stay focused and know which direction to take in order for you to accomplish your goals.

Actually, not being yourself is like a disease.  This case even has a name in medicine. It calls – depersonalization.

What is it? It’s a kind of panic attack. Depersonalization seems to occur when you have become less involved with what's going on around you, especially the people around you, (and become preoccupied with your own thoughts. These are typically not thoughts about your immediate surroundings, but thoughts of other people, times and places. The less energy and attention you bring to your immediate circumstances, the more your thoughts wander toward ideas that can only happen in your imagination.) 

 To avoid this disease and consequences of not being yourself you just should:

·         Firstly, understand that your mistakes are part of your learning. There is no right way to do anything. Just look at yur past as an adventurous biography

·         Secondly, don’t compare yourself to others because you are not them

·         Thirdly, accept your weaknesses as your features

·         What is more, stand up for what you belive even ots unpopular it will also your feature which can help you to show your individuality

·         Moreover, surround you people who want you to be successful

·         Finally, express your emotions in a creative way

In my conclusion I would like to say, being yourself is something you have to choose every day. It is not just in your attitude — it is in every decision you make. It is in every look you give, every word you utter, every step you walk.

 (No matter what you experience in life, the only person that will always remain constant is you)
