My reflection on the writing class this semester

  During this semester we had only two classes in a month. I think that there should have been more lectures to learn more about writing. To my mind, writing plays a huge role in learning. You learn how to pay attention to grammatical mistakes, spelling and you learn how to state your opinion. You have to get a deeper knowledge and understanding of writing.  

  On the other hand, I liked that we had the opportunity to correct essays.  I felt like I was a teacher. I think that it would be a good idea to add more this kind of lectures next semester. Also, I liked that we wrote in blogs, as it is a good and fast way to express your opinion. I would like to write in blogs next semester as this kind of writing is more interesting.

  Moreover, I liked the task about a good teacher. This task was given in a modern way. This semester’s writing tasks were more interesting as we were talking about nowadays issues. As a result, I have broadened my opinion and my knowledge of certain things.

  To my mind, lectures were good, as they were taught in a different way compared to other lectures. Next semester there should be more writing lectures and more practice in correcting. I am satisfied with the classes and the lecturer.

Expectations

The first time I came to the university I had expected interesting studies. That was due to the fact that I wanted to study English philology from the 8th grade. The first month was difficult as the level of studies was completely different from school. During the lectures my interest in English has increased. The university provided many interesting subjects. For instance, in phonetics we have learnt about pronunciation. It is a very useful lecture. I’ve already learnt a lot of new things and now I am aware of words’ pronunciation. Also, in grammar lectures, I’ve seen a different side of the English language. This subject gave me the opportunity to learn English deeper. The studies have fulfilled my expectations. They have broadened my outlook on the English language and studies gave me more knowledge. The studies provide the subjects which are very useful for every student. Furthermore, I was glad that our practice at school started on the first year of studies. As you have a lot of time to see whether teaching is for you and get a deeper understanding of teaching. I expected a high quality studies. The lecturers are very qualified and they love their subject. Everything is even better than I have expected. I like the studies, lecturers and the atmosphere at university.

EUTHANASIA

  Euthanasia has been widely discussed because the issue concerns a human life.It is the act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition. It is done in order to end a person’s suffering, usually done at his request or with his consent. According to a survey, there are three opinions about this issue. Some people strongly support this idea, some strongly oppose and the others are not sure whether they support it or not. Some countries are thinking about establishing this idea, but the issue of euthanasia frightens many people. That is because it is believed that euthanasia is against human rights, medicine can be improved and your religion can object to this idea.

  First of all, euthanasia is against human nature. It is believed that every human has a destiny and everyone has a right to live and die when it is meant. Every person has only one life and nobody can take it away. Also, it is interesting that you can write in your will if you like to be legally killed. It is not a good way to choose your destiny as your opinion can change after some years. Later, it might be too late to change something. Moreover, killing cannot be legalized as taking a person’s life is illegal. Euthanasia seems to be whether a suicide or a murder.

  Secondly, 21^st century’s medicine is highly advanced. As a result, new cures from different diseases might be created. For instance, if you suffer from a certain disease which is incurable, you don’t have to give in. There is still a little opportunity that you might be cured. Moreover, doctors’ diagnoses might be wrong. Due to these diagnoses you might lose your life. Doctors have to treat, not to take your life away. If you do not fight for your life, you will lose it. It does not matter if you die, but you will know that you have done everything to fight against it. Nobody will regret about performing euthanasia, because they will be sure that everything was done. If a new cure could be invented, your family members would regret throughout their lives that they approved of euthanasia.

  Thirdly, if you are a religious person, your beliefs will not let you agree with euthanasia. God owns us and it is up to Him when we die. We cannot escape from God’s wishes and every person goes to heaven when He decides. Also, suffering is God’s punishment and you have no right to escape from it and it is dangerous to do so. Furthermore, the Bible says that both murder and suicide are sins. No one enjoys suffering, but that does not mean that a person is ready to die.

  Taking everything into account, it is a person’s choice how he wants to live and die. But I strongly believe that the establishment of euthanasia in our country would be a huge step backward. The thinking of our society will drastically change. Also, the number of suicides can dramatically increase. Euthanasia is not a way out. It is a rejection of the importance and value of human life, religion, personal beliefs and medicine.
