Summary.
The title of this article immediately catches my attention. The article «Teenage girl kills herself 'after Instagram poll' in Malaysia» written by Jamie Fullerton is devoted to the problem of the increasing social influence on the current generation. It has reached to this point that our future actions and even lives are decided by social followers.
First, the author tells us a real story which happened in Malaysia. Teenage girl commits a suicide after survey results in Instagram. She asked if she should die or not, and after the 69% followers voted for her death she killed herself. Jamie emphasizes that our society is absolutely addicted to social networks; they are so obsessed that are ready to give followers  a right to decide their fate. There is also another issue that the author raises. I am absolutely shocked and concerned how people can be so cruel as they were able to stop her from committing a suicide, however they not only ceased but even abetted a suicide. Criminal case was initiated; lawyers prompted to suppose that those who voted for her to die could be found guilty of abetting suicide. This tragic accident wasn’t the only one, unfortunately, teenagers often posts self-harm photos to gain popularity. The point of no return was the death of Molly Russell, a 14 years old aged girl, who committed a suicide after posting images of self-harm. The Administration of Instagram had decided to launch “sensitivity screens” in order to forbid posting this kind of photos.

    Tereza,

    Your summary gives a good idea about the main points of the original article. It is also very good that you made your opinion about it clear. The structure of your summary is logical. However, there is a problem with the choice of tenses you have used: you switch b/w the Present and Past tenses, while it is more common to write summaries using the Present tenses

    The title of this article immediately catches my attention > Gr: result

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...
