I'm glad to see everyone here. Today, I want to tell you about the seventh challenge in this term. It calls "To ask for a change in the shop". To begin with, that I have done it, but, actually, it was not' the change in the shop. Well, I want to start telling the story gradually. As usual in my stories, there is somebody else. My friend Dina and I decided to drink a cup of coffee in a beautiful place. Dina said that there was a wonderful place in the center and we went there. The coffee house was really a cute place. A table was small and looked like an ancient one. There were comfortable armchairs, gently cancelled lamps on these tables. I have ordered a cup of coffee with halva (this is a paste of nuts with oil and sugar). This is the beginning of my challenge. When my coffee was ready, I tasted it and there was not any sign that there was halva. I was embarrassed because I gave a lot of money for this coffee, and I am a student that is why I don’t have much money.

I decided to call a waiter, a waiter called manager, a manager called barista. There was a circle of calling. Barista asked me to make another drink and I refused and asked to a waiter do not pay for the coffee.

 In my opinion, I completed the challenge. We are on the right way. 

Nice to see you again, my readers. Here you can see a useful scheme for every speech you should prepare. It is really effective. You just keep it in your mind and move from one point to anotherThen you will see my persuasive speech. In my opinion, now it's better, but I still want to correct some things and improve it a little bit later. Firstly, I want to add more details after the statements. Secondly, give some examples for illustrations 

Hello, my readers, I hope, you had a great weekend.
 Today I want to tell you about the sixth challenge. 
To tell you the truth, I was very impressed by my groupmate's courage. She told us that she had a challenge in her list, it was called as "To sign a song in public place". Can you imagine, that she really did it! It was very strange, funny and  fearlessly. This story didn't come out from my head and I also decided to try this challenge.
 One day, my friend and I were walking near our University. I told him that I want to sign a song. He answered "If you want, you can do it". I explained that it should be loud. The gaze of my friend was strange and he didn't understand me. Then I stopped in the middle of the street and started signing. My friend laughed at me and started signing too. He didn't understand that I should do it alone. In spite of the fact, that it was my challenge, my freiend helped me to finish it. 

“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 – 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.

 ( I’ve noticed  that many people do that and then they complained to their friends or parents that they don’t like the conditions where they live. Besides, when I was a first year student I was the way as some of these people.  )

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. There will be times where you may feel lost or distracted, but if you have your own identity you will be able to get back on the right path and not lose yourself

2.    You know what values and beliefs you have

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 accomplish and how to go about accomplishing them.  (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 myself 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.

Every time I wake up, I have to choose be myself over and over again.

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