My dream,My future

My dream,My future

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

CHANGE IT , STARTS WITH ME

CHANGE IT STARTS WITH ME

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” “When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” “If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

NEW YEAR,NEW ME

New Year, my favorite holiday, is one of the most celebrated days in the world. The day is shaped by different customs and traditions. Each culture celebrates this holiday in its own unique way. The city Ufa, which is located in Russia near the Ural Mountains, is the place of my birth. This is a place where all my childhood memories came from. The city has its own way to celebrate New Year.
The people start to prepare for the holiday at least one month in an advance. The preparation begins by buying presents, decorating houses, and making new costumes. Obviously the holiday would not be complete without a symbol of New Year which transcended from generation to generation, the New Year Tree, the unique tree having million small needles and staying green throughout the year.

reflection

"my reflection"

  3rd Grading is over,so, I will step again another Grading Period which is the 4th Grading Period. It is important that we know the different ways you can do on a computer. It can help us to facilitate our works so we have to study seriously.

           The last Grading Period I had learned a lot especially about making a movie or the movie maker. At first only little things I know about the movie maker but by the help of our good and patience practice teachers my mind enlightened about that movie maker. We learned all the parts and its definitions. After they taught us about movie maker we make our own movie and thank god we finished it well.


              I am so grateful that they  taught us well concerning movie maker. I am so much happy that I learned it, and I hope I would also teach this to those who are not yet familiar about movie maker.

"english club celebration"

"english club celebration"


As students learn English, too often they become obsessed with the future.  They think, “someday I will speak English fluently and then I’ll be happy.”   But in the present, they are miserable.   They are miserable in their boring English class–  sitting in a small chair, scribbling in a notebook, memorizing word lists, analyzing extremely boring grammar rules.    They are also stressed because they know their English speaking is not improving quickly.
This is not the way to learn English.  Indeed, it’s not the way to learn anything.  Of course, most students are merely following the learning system they know best– a learning system created by boring, tired, stiff, and ineffective teachers and bureaucrats.   This is the only system most students know.  They grew up learning in this way– from elementary school through graduate school.
However, you must never confuse “education” with “learning”.
True learning is a celebration.  True learning is active, fun, and energetic.  Human beings are naturally designed to learn.   When we are truly learning (not just being “educated”) we automatically feel great.
How can you learn English in this way?  How can you rediscover the excitement and happiness of learning– right now?
Mostly you must unlearn your ideas about education.   Teachers taught you to sit still, be quiet, and obey.
You must do the opposite–  move your body as you learn, be loud, and break all the rules.  In my seminar, students were shocked (in a good way) by my teaching methods.   Immediately, I had them standing and dancing to music.  They looked at me like I was crazy!
But that was just the beginning.   As the 5 hour seminar continued, I continually raised the energy level.   Students didn’t just dance a little bit–  they jumped, they yelled, they moved powerfully.   They energetically and enthusiastically participated in every minute of the class.   During five full hours, the energy level never dropped.
The seminar was more than just an English class–  it was a celebration of learning.  As the students walked out the door at the end they were laughing and glowing.   They were excited and they felt great.   They had learned a tremendous amount in a short time– more than they had thought possible. And they loved it.
The problem with most teachers is that they have such low expectations of themselves and their students.  They are content to be “average” or merely “good”.  And so they create average boring classes.
You should demand more.  Demand more from your teachers and demand more from yourself.   Insist that your English learning experiences be absolutely fantastic.  Insist on an enthusiastic celebration every time you learn English.   Insist on excitement.  Insist on excellence.
