Cloverfield

Well, it is very interesting idea to advertise the movies or the music(Nine Inch Nails-Year Zero) using the interent to make an alternate reality game(ARG). The filmmakers of the movie "Cloverfield" use internet to advertise and describe some parts of the movie's stioryline. Web-sites, news in different world languages(including Russian!) and blogs of the move heroes on Myspace.com. Now, after movie I've read the history of the events from the movie, but still it is unknown, where the monster came from. It is all about Targuato, the mega corporation from Japan, it's brand Slusho, TIDOware- the environmental organization, which is against Targuato's pulluting and harmful activity. Also, it is about some substance called "Sea Nectar". This substance is deeply frozen in the deep ocean bottom. And the soft drink Slusho made of this "Sea Nectar" and it has a strange effect on human. That's why this drug drink is so popular. Targuato had a platform ih the Atlantic Ocean not far from New York that is used to extract Sea Nectar.

Once, this platform is attaked and destroyed! This accident was shown in news. So, as we can see, the film is just a part of the big story, which is far away from the end.

Favourite Books.

What books do you like the most? What is your opinion about the literature? Do you prefer classic or something new, modern and unusual? As for me I like reading a lot. It is one of my biggest hobbies since quite early childhood. I used ro read Russian fairy tales, when I was approximately 7 years old. Now I like fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, classic and many more. recently I've read "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows". Last book about Harry Potter. I started reading Harry Potter books in 2002, and now after five years that's it. And now my favoutite Harry potter book is "Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire". Last book was capturing and interesting because all the magic secrets was revealed and because of the battle between Harry and Vol-De-Mort. But the real failure is the film "Harry Potter and the Order ofd the Phoenix". This is very weak film for Harry Potter universe. The shortest film, which is based upon the longest Harry potter Novel, many interesting moments from the book was cut from the film. That's why it is boring.

First and New

Well, the New Year had come and the vacation is over.To be honest, I didn't feel pessimistic after the vacation and wanted them to continue; by the way, when I studied at the school, we had much shorter winter vacation. Now, it's time to learn English again, and I expected, that EAP 3 will be totally different, than EAP 2 and will be REALLY 0_O hard!=)

Actually, it is hard, but there are many similatities with Fall semester. Many things, we have to do, like lectures or speaking journals are pretty simiar. We do have new kinds of assignments, like term papers or book projects, but they remind to reaing projects of EAP 2. And of course, course grades are stricter, but I think, it is good for stimulating hard work.

Our teachers told us about one intresting and I've been thinking about that. And what's the real scoop is that now we are not only learning mechanics and grammar of English, but mostly we are leazrning how to apply and use English in our University experience. We are practising a lot, we are surrounded by English, we are watching movies, TV shows(I don't like to watch TV shows often, but whatever=D) . We are applying our English almost everywhere in opur casual life, and that is one of the factors, that our second language experince is increasing. Our EAP courses with lovely and funny teachers Scott and Murray are just awesome. And we are using things, that we are learning to speak, write, entertain and so on in English atmosphere.

I think, that's the best way to learn new language.

What's going on-the classes.

Music-No music now.
