• We usually have to change the pronouns.

• If you report what someone said on a different day or in a different place, some other time and place words can change, e.g. tomorrow -> the next day, here -> there, this -> that, etc. I'll meet you here tomorrow. He said he'd meet me there the next day.

🔎say and tell

Be careful - after said, don't use a person or an

object pronoun.

Sarah said that she was tired. NOT Sarah said

me that she was tired.

After told, you must use a person or object

pronoun.

Sarah told me that she was tired. NOT Sarah

told that she...

We often make adjectives from nouns by adding

a suffix. Some common suffixes are:

-y, e.g. sun sunny;

-ate, e.g. passion - passionate;

-able / -ible, e.g. fashion - fashionable;

-ful, e.g. use - useful.

Nouns which end in -ence often make the adjective

with -ent, e.g. violence - violent.

To make a negative adjective, we usually add a prefix,

e.g. un-, im-, etc.

However, some adjectives that end in -ful

make the negative by changing the suffix -ful to -less,

e.g. useful - useless, hopeful - hopeless.

 My goals for the B1 course were improving my speaking skills,

                                                     finding new friends,

                                               actively participating in classes,

                                                     enriching my vocabulary,

                                                     enjoying study process,

                                                    surrounding myself with a light and cheerful atmosphere.

 During this course I dedicated time to engage in conversations, joined speaking clubs, and sought feedback from peers. Through consistent practice and determination, I witnessed tangible progress in articulating my thoughts confidently and eloquently. I embraced opportunities to ask questions, contribute ideas, and collaborate with classmates. I delved into literature, engaged in word games, and expanded my reading repertoire. I prefer when my study process is surrounded with my friends and cheerful atmosphere because I`d like to study in my comfort zone. I hope that I was able to help my classmates and my friends in some way.

With the digital diet, people feel empty because they do not learn anything new and feel that they are behind the world. It's as if others are getting better than them, as if other people's lives are more interesting than their own. That's what it is: a digital detox. Now that we learn what's new for us, it's ordinary, and when there's nothing new, it starts to seem like the whole day is wasted. At least take the last Met Gala. There are people who are vital to knowing the costumes of the stars while sitting in Almaty, and we cannot force them to undergo digital detoxification. But there are also advantages, because a person begins to recognize himself only in solitude. He starts noticing the details and rejoicing at the usual butterfly he didn't notice when he was online. Living offline means you won’t look at notifications on your phone every time; it means you may not know something important, and you’ll need to talk face-to-face with your friends instead of simply reacting to their Instagram stories. 

In conclusion, as people of the 21st century, we can't completely give up gadgets, but we can take a break.And spend this wonderful free time in silence on your own or in harmony with your family.
