Summary
The article is concerned with a prohibition to eat outside in Florence. Someone claims that a problem lays in snobbism as eating out causes an ecological problem (a litter problem). However it’s a solvable problem.  Also adherents of snobbism convince that it is unsanitary: food should be eaten at the special places in appropriate sanitary conditions. Additionally, it isn’t pleasant to watch (for) chewing faces and to smell these odors.
The last straw was a scuffle between a businessman (shop owner) and a family that was eating fast food at the surroundings streets. After this incident the council took firm actions. The ban is very serious. The government decided to take radical actions- to fine violators and the maximum penalty is €500.
In their own defense tourists complain about a lack of public benches. There are a lot of places in Florence that called “no-chow”, tourists are forbidden to eat at these places. What’s more interesting, there aren’t any zones where they can do it without committing an offence. Author thinks that this prohibition doesn’t allow tourists to enjoy their daily routine. They are forbidden to stretch out the pleasure to eat food where they want it to do. He is against it and says not to pay attention to it, however: “Just don’t try it in Florence”.
Do you like this article? Is the punishment fair? Do you share the author’s opinion ?

    Hello Tereza,

    thanks for sharing the details about the article you have read with us. At first the problem it is devoted to did not seem to me to be that important. However, having thought about it deeper, I now think it should be resolved because eating out is one of the indispensable features of everybody's travelling experience. I can't imagine not being able to enjoy a meal somewhere outside when enjoying myself in some place around the world. I think it is part of what makes any travelling experince enjoyable.

    About your summary's structure: it is acceptable for the first time as in the end it gives your readers a rather good idea about the problems the article is devoted to. However, in the future it'd be helpful if you used the summary template I have shared with your group. The thing is that it will allow you to structure your summary better and make its organisation clearer.

Reflection note The semester comes to the end, to summarize it I would like to note that our lessons were really interesting and useful. During the semester we carried out different tasks which help us to develop not only our writing skills but also another aspect of English language. We have learned to make up stories; to make references correctly and to find information from variable sources. I was thoroughly delightful to read exciting articles in Guardian paper. Also I found out some new internet dictionaries which were useful for me. Moreover, I admired when  Natalya Yurievna  shared different websites with us about how to improve our conclusions and etc. May be it will be better for us to watch more videos in English, perhaps, it can be news. After watching it it would be good to write summary in the way we did after reading the article. Thank you very much for this semester, Natalya Yurievna , I was delightful with getting such an experience in writing.

 Essay Orphans can not achieve  their goals and be successful. Family plays a crucial role in our life. It is the first social institute where we obtain upbringing, love and support. There are a lot of different situations in which it seems to you to be impossible to go on, but you don´t give up as your family supports you. What about children who are grown up without parents? Nowadays there a lot of orphans who are unable to achieve that little something in life and to be successful? That is an indisputable fact that there are poor conditions to develop in orphanages and, to crown it all, they don´t obtain enough parental affection and care. So can orphans achieve their goals and live a full happy life? I have a strong conviction that it doesn’t matter where you were grown up or who raised you if you are a hardworking and purposeful person you can achieve all your objectives. Nothing can oppose you. There are a lot of examples which can prove my point of view. T...
