Have read and learned about the words related to crimes. We learned for ourselves who Jack the Ripper was and what crimes he committed. The teacher also gave us flyers with different crimes and we had to find out what the motives of the different killers were. For example, we were given information about Meredith Kercher's crime.

Education is one of the most important aspects of everyone's life. But, most sadly, not everyone is so blessed in their path to a bright future. Women in African countries and Afghanistan have not been able to receive a proper and fulfilling education. Many women activists have addressed this issue and have bravely defended the place and role of "Women" in our world. Malala Yousufzai is one good example; she became an international icon in the fight for girls' education after someone tried to shoot her in 2012 for speaking out against restrictions on women's education imposed by the Taliban in her native Pakistan. I am truly inspired by their heroism, intelligence, and determination. I add my country's references to the March 8, 2023 "Women's Day of Solidarity for Equal Rights and Emancipation.

1. Be Respectful

2. Highlight the employee's positive side and point out his successes. Don't overdo it.

3. Briefly explain why the company won't work with him. Avoid emphasizing employee guilt if possible. For example, there is little guilt in cases such as staff reductions. If he is guilty, he already knows why and why (you warned him, see above). Try using "thank you" instead of "his fault".

4. Have his reply to your message. Answer any questions. If there is a possibility of an emotional outburst, stay calm and calm. Listen to accusations and pleas, and respond calmly when the flow dries up.

5. "Sorry, the decision has been made. After a short break, employees express confidence that they can realize themselves on more suitable terms.

6. Another company appreciates his skills. If desired, you can add that the employee is "beyond" the framework of this organization and that the dismissal is a fresh start in the next career round.

7. Discuss severance pay amounts and other dismissal nuances.

8. We finish with some tips for your new profession. Re-emphasize employee strengths. If another employer has a suitable job lined up, promise a suitable referral.

Watching Amy's performance was amazing. Once again, I learned so much that was useful and new to me. Her talk was inspiring and motivating. After seeing the video "Your body language may shape who you are" by Amy Cuddy (social psychologist, author, and writer, public speaker). I reflected on my movements at events that are important to me and my everyday life. How I present myself in front of an audience when presenting something, or meeting people I like, and even how my body responds to stressful situations.

First, Amy's purpose and goal are clear. Amy Cuddy's research on body language shows that we can change other people's perceptions and perhaps even our body chemistry by simply changing our body posture.

Second, "Power Pose" standing in a confident pose even when we don't feel confident can increase our confidence and affect our chances of success. Also from this video, we learn Amy's tragic story of a car accident and the consequences affecting her. Further, she says that she later felt like an "imposter" among her groupmates because of her physical and mental trauma. Amy's support and encouragement came from her advisor - Susan, who convinced her of the phrase fake it `til you become it. Which later motivated Amy Cuddy to move only forward.

In conclusion, Amy Cuddy has reached great achievements in her career, and already working at Harvard University and being a public speaker is motivating and revealing the truths of nonverbal behavior. A direct quote from her speech
Don't fake it `til you make it.
Fake it `til you become it.
Tiny tweaks are big changes.

The class read and discussed stories of our successes and failures. Many shared that yesterday they were not lucky enough to catch the bus on time and so on. We didn't talk much about luck, but we did discuss the lucky person trend in TikTok. The trend of the lucky person is that you say that you are lucky in life, and throughout the day you notice how life becomes more perfect. I have no comment on that, but it's worth a try.

In class, I learned how to change nouns to adjectives and adverbs by adding suffixes.
The simplest way, and the best general rule, to turn a noun into an adjective is to add suffixes to the end of the root word. The most common suffixes used to create adjectives are -ly, -able, -al, -ous, -ary, -ful, -ic, -ish, -less, -like, and -y.

Other noun-to-adjective suffixes can include -ial, and -ical.

In class, we read a text about good relationships between customers and retailers. I remember especially the paragraph about Apple sending back returned product. One of the customer`s wife wouldn't let him buy the tablet, so he put a `Wife said no` sticker on it. Apple said `yes` and sent him a free tablet. I want one too!

I learned a lot of new words from the subject of "work". In turn, I would like to add that these words can help me and others in the future to clarify work-business terms.

In class, we discussed how we wanted to live. Do we want to live with our parents or do we want to live alone? Where and how we prefer to live. We listened to who in the class wanted to stay and how. We read the opinions of others in the book.

Also, in the text we read, the class and I learned about the importance of the role of the extras. Without them, the film would definitely look unrealistic. The extras must adapt to all circumstances, whether it be the weather or the endless amount of waiting time. Actors must have a good command of their facial expressions, keep the whole film in secret, and cannot normally watch the film without observing the acting of the other masses. Inviting them to be in the film is very expensive, so some movies use computer-generated graphics.

In this chapter on Education, I learned for myself the differences between the terms of America and Great Britain in their educational system. In class, we asked each other questions about what schools we went to, what subjects we preferred to study, and what was the most interesting thing about school life.

Nursery school - Children go there between the ages of 2 and 4
secondary school- From age 11 to 18, kids start studying there
state school - Free for citizens, paid by the government

I discovered new words from the topic - Body. In this word context, I learned for myself the parts of the human body in English. More verbs are used to correctly denote the meaning of any body part. For example, to bite, slap, kick, etc.
In class, we discussed what our profile picture meant. What secrets, problems, and mysteries do they hide, or just what we like to put on our profile picture? We also read the text and learned what it means to be charismatic and how to become charismatic.
