О переменах на английском языке

(1) Do you like change? — Тебе нравятся перемены?

Not always, but sometimes it’s very useful for our life to change something in order to move on.

(2) What’s the biggest change you’ve made in your life? Was it good / bad? — Какое самое большое изменение вы сделали в своей жизни? Хорошо / плохо?

Once I changed my job. It was a wrong decision because my new job was much worse. The good change was that I got married and moved into a new apartment.

(3) Are you good at dealing with change? — Вы хорошо справляетесь с переменами?

I am always trying to do my best. But it depends on change.

(4) Do you think change is important? — Вы думаете, что изменения важны?

Yes, I do. People need changes in order to develop themselves and their lives. You can’t do this if you don’t try. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

(5) What is the biggest change this world needs? — Какое самое большое изменение нужно этому миру?

I think the governments of all countries should pay more attention to what people really need.

(6) What things in your life would you hate to change? — Что бы вы не хотели изменить в своей жизни?

I don’t want to go back to the office. I like working from home.

(7) What three things about your past would you like to change? — Какие три вещи в своем прошлом вы хотели бы изменить?

I would have read more books in my childhood. I would have started dancing earlier. And I would have visited more countries before the Corona crisis.

(8) What advice would you give to someone who hates change? — Какой совет вы бы дали тем, кто ненавидит перемены?

Relax and enjoy changes because everything will be fine.

(9) What happens to people who find it difficult to change? — Что происходит с людьми, которым трудно измениться?

They lose opportunities to make their life better and see how different everything can be. I think that changes are always for the best.

(10) Can you teach someone to accept and like change? — Можете ли вы научить кого-то принимать и любить перемены?

No, I can’t and don’t want to.

Anya —-> Rinat

(1) Is the world changing faster than before? — Мир меняется быстрее, чем раньше?

Yes it is. Technology is developing so fast nowadays. They influence our life and make the world change faster as well.

(2) How do old and young people cope with change? — Как пожилые и молодые люди справляются с переменами?

I think that age is not so important. Old people might like or be afraid of changes as well as young people. It depends on what kind of change it is.

(3) What is the biggest change you’d like to make to your life? — Какое самое большое изменение вы хотели бы внести в свою жизнь?

I would like to build a country house and live there. I am so tired of the hectic city life sometimes. I hope one day I will do this.

(4) Why are some people better than others at dealing with change? — Почему одни люди лучше других справляются с изменениями?

It depends on the person and his character. Some people are pretty conservative and don’t like when something changes in their life. The others accept changes easily and really enjoy them.

(5) What has changed in your life compared to ten years ago? — Что изменилось в вашей жизни по сравнению с тем, что было десять лет назад?

I became older and smarter. Now my vision of life is pretty much different than it was ten years ago.

(6) Is change always good? — Всегда ли перемены хороши?

Not always of course. That’s why it’s so difficult sometimes to change something. Never know what can happen.

I think that my wedding has changed my life quite a lot. It was a good life-changing event.

(8) What would you like to change about yourself? — Что бы вы хотели изменить в себе?

I don’t know. There are some bad things about my character that I am always trying to change. But it’s not so easy.

(9) How has your society changed in the past decade? — Как изменилось ваше общество за последнее десятилетие?

It became less educated. I can see it clearly in young people. I think we need to change our education system.

(10) What will change in the future? — Что изменится в будущем?

A lot of things can change in the future. I hope most of these changes will be good.

Change your routine. Remember that your reality is a result of the things you do on a daily basis, from what you eat for breakfast to where you go to work or school. If you're going to change your life's circumstances, you will have to change the things you do every single day.

Making even the smallest changes to your daily routine can help you feel less bored with life. For example, take a different route to work, eat something new for breakfast, exercise before school rather than afterward, or stop at a different coffee shop. Small changes like these may seem insignificant, but they will make your life more interesting in the long run by adding variety.

Ask yourself this question on a daily basis: Is what I am doing (or not doing) helping me get where I want to be? This applies to what you eat, whether or not you exercise, and what you spend the bulk of your day doing. If the answer is no, then make the necessary change.

Examine your life's path. Whether you are in school, working, job hunting, volunteering, or travelling, take a look at your life and decide if it aligns with your values.

What are your passions, interests, and goals? While these questions may take years to answer, you can start by asking yourself what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. This question applies not only to your career, but to your relationships as well. How would you like to be described and remembered by other people?

Determine whether or not your lifestyle is aligned with your personal values. Chances are, to some extent, your life and your values conflict. What could you be doing differently to help you reach your goals? You may want to consider changing your career path, changing your major, changing where you live, and changing the way you manage your time and money.

Improve your relationships. No matter how much money you make or how great your accomplishments are, you will not be able to enjoy your success if you don't have loved ones to share it with.

Work on the relationships you already have. Be sure to spend quality time with loved ones, and treat them with compassion and understanding. If have been neglecting or arguing with a loved one, then devote some time to reconciling the relationship. You must be willing to make compromises and even admit that you were wrong.

Make new, meaningful relationships with others. If you are feeling lonely, then you will have to stop waiting around for others to approach you. Take matters into your own hands, and get proactive. Put yourself in social situations, strike up conversations, and remember to always have a smile on your face. This is the best way to attract other people.

If I could change one thing in the world, what would I change?

I would change the nature of a man so that there are no wars, that people live in peace, that would be less negative experience.

Some people have a bad character. They beat people, animals, speak bad words. But why? What do they want to show other people? I want to change their character so that people love each other, animals and do not say bad words. A person’s character changes with age, but how it changes depends on which family, circulation the person grew up in.

Some people believe in a horoscope and think that their character depends on it. In fact, the character depends on the inner mood - will it be good or negative. German psychologist E. Kretschmer thinks that the character is divided into three types: asthenics are reserved people, serious, stubborn; athletics - calm, restrained, practical and picnics - sociable, contact and emotional.

I divide people into two types - soft, kind and nervous, evil.

People show their character in art, in writing and in words. Relations of relatives and friends depend on our character. Bad character traits often prevent us from living, so we need to look for good character traits in ourselves and learn the bad ones to slowly forget. In order to have a good character you must have such adjectives: creative, kind, friendly, attentive. But if your character is capricious, callous, evil, then most likely you have a negative character.

But do people want to change their character? Can they live with their character for the better ? Thanks to the research, I learned that 88% want to change their character for the better, and 10% do not want to change their character. 2% of people heard from relatives and friends that they have an ideal character. I've met a lot of people in my life and everyone has their own character. Some have a good character, some like asthenics have an average, and very rarely people with a bad character. The theme of my composition is to urge all people to be sociable, kind, creative and try to change your character for the better.

As Victor Hugo said, “Every person has three characters: the one that he is credited with, the one that he ascribes to himself and the one that is in reality.

У каждого человека свой характер. Если вы собираетесь написать сочинение о своих личных качествах на английском языке, вам помогут примеры на этом сайте.

I am a cheerful person / Я жизнерадостный человек

My friends say that I am an optimist. I don’t know, maybe I am. But actually I don’t look at the world through rose-colored glasses. I just prefer not to worry about things that I can’t change. And I deal with one thing at a time. That helps me not to get stressed out.

I am a versatile person. I often drop my hobbies in order to try something new. Trying new activities makes me really happy. My mother says that I should be more persistent to achieve good results. But I don’t see the point in doing something I don’t like anymore. I think that a wide range of interests makes a person broad-minded.

I have many friends and I like to spend time with them. So I guess I am a sociable person and probably an extrovert. I like parties, concerts, sport festivals and other mass events.

I realize that I have some character faults. I am not always punctual. I may be forgetful and sometimes loose stuff. I have to use an organizer not to miss something important.

The assessment of your own personality might lack objectivity. But I guess that I am generally spontaneous and easy-going person.

Мои друзья говорят, что я оптимист. Не знаю, может, и так. Но на самом деле я не смотрю на мир сквозь розовые очки. Я просто предпочитаю не беспокоиться о вещах, которые я не могу изменить. И я решаю проблемы по мере поступления. Это помогает сохранять спокойствие.

Я разносторонний человек. Я часто бросаю свои увлечения, чтобы попробовать что-то новое. Пробовать новые виды деятельности - настоящее удовольствие для меня. Моя мама говорит, что я должен быть более настойчивым, чтобы добиться хороших результатов. Но я не вижу смысла делать то, что мне больше не нравится. Я думаю, что интерес к разным темам способствует расширению кругозора.

У меня много друзей, и мне нравится проводить с ними время. Поэтому я думаю, что я общительный человек и, вероятно, экстраверт. Мне нравятся вечеринки, концерты, спортивные праздники и другие массовые мероприятия.

Я понимаю, что у меня есть и отрицательные черты характера. Я не всегда пунктуален. Я бываю забывчивым и иногда теряю вещи. Мне приходится использовать органайзер, чтобы не пропустить что-то важное.

Оценка собственной личности может быть недостаточно объективной. Но думаю, что я довольно спонтанный и легкий на подъем.

Если занимаетесь английским самостоятельно, очень рекомендую не просто пролистать, а сделать упражнения самим. Понимание принципов построения текста и умение манипулировать формами слов дает огромный простор для маневра. И, конечно, в итоге улучшает навыки написания эссе – не только в IELTS, но и любых других.

Преподавателю на заметку: ровно то же самое можно использовать на своих уроках. И это полезно не только тем, кто собирается сдавать IELTS. Правда, уровень все же должен быть соответствующим - не ниже Intermediate.

IELTS эссе. Тема Change

Итак, тема IELTS эссе у нас нынче такая:

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing.

Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Сегодня я не буду документировать мыслительный процесс, который привел к такому эссе. Предварительные заметки и способы составления плана сочинения мы уже видели в предыдущем посте об IELTS эссе.

Еще в этот раз я, коварная, не дам сразу готовое эссе. Сконструируем его сами из готовых, но перепутанных предложений. Возможен только один вариант текста. Почему так категорично? Потому что главное качество грамотно написанного текста/эссе – связность. Одно ведет к другому ~~мысль невозможно прокрутить назад~~ и тесно переплетено друг с другом: внутри предложения, между предложениями, между параграфами.

IELTS эссе состоит из 4 параграфов:

Вступление
Параграф - первая точка зрения
Параграф - вторая точка зрения
Заключение

Перетаскиванием предложений составьте связное и логичное эссе IELTS:

If it had not been for innovations, we would still be living in caves and enjoying the stability of the Stone Age.
Some people believe that a certain amount of variation is necessary in order not to stagnate.
At the same time I believe that life is the synonym for continuous change, so resisting it is highly unproductive.
Following the same routine on a daily basis helps them to avoid distractions and focus on priorities.
I have to admit that any alterations might feel threatening.
However, people’s attitudes to change differ in many ways.
It can also be argued that minor changes, such as choosing a different route to work or a new sort of coffee every day, are as important as major ones.
These people value traditional approach and view it as a pre-requisite for stability and peace of mind.
Change is, undoubtedly, an essential part of life, and the humankind would not have evolved without it.
They point to the fact that all great inventions and breakthroughs once challenged traditional ways and transformed life for the better.
In conclusion, I personally think that, although it may be hard and uncomfortable at times, making changes is vital both for personal development and for the evolution of the human race.
This, in turn, provides an opportunity to develop and evolve as individuals.
These variations help people not to be taken over by routine ways of thinking and, more importantly, living.
On the other hand, change is regarded as an inconvenience by others.

Change is, undoubtedly, an essential part of life, and the humankind would not have evolved without it. However, people’s attitudes to change differ in many ways.

Связность текста

А теперь займемся связностью текста (cohesion). Напомню на всякий случай, что средств связности текста – громадье. Есть грамматические, есть лексические. Сейчас из всего многообразия выберем тематические/лексические поля, местоимения, замену слов на one/ones. Остальное трогать не будем (союзы, артикли, эллипсис и др.).

Вот и лексическая связность текста: мы используем синонимы и разнообразные способы перефразирования, избегаем ненужных повторов.

А явное наличие тематических полей доказывает то, что мы пишем по теме (вернитесь к формулировке задания и посмотрите, какие слова из каких тематических полей там), а не поменяли ее под шумок.

Теперь посмотрим на местоимения и замену слов на one/ones. Выберите из вариантов a, b, c нужное слово/фразу, к которой ведет местоимение (это называется pronoun referencing):

Change is, undoubtedly, an essential part of life, and the humankind would not have evolved without it . humankind;an essential part of life;change 3

Проверили себя? И для наглядности даже стрелочки нарисую, чтобы видно было, что к чему относится и куда ведет:

Итак, эти средства связности текста (тематические поля, синонимы, местоимения и слова one/ones) помогают избежать ненужных повторов слов и собрать текст в единое целое.

А еще то, что мы сейчас проделали, называется лингвистический анализ текста, если точнее – его часть.

Словообразование в английском языке

Теперь займемся метаморфозами. Попробуем перефразировать каждое предложение эссе, используя другую форму слова. Например, в оригинальном тексте:

А мы перефразируем undoubtedly и напишем:

Здесь тоже все достаточно однозначно: разные части речи и формы одного слова могут находиться только в определенных структурах и позициях в предложении.

Перефразируйте предложения, изменяя форму слова на нужную:

1. Change is, undoubtedly, an essential part of life.

= Without a doubt , change is an essential part of life.

2. The humankind would not have evolved without it.

= The evolution of the humankind would have been impossible without it.

3. People’s attitudes to change differ in many ways.

= A certain amount of variation is necessary in order to avoid stagnation .

5. All great inventions and breakthroughs once challenged traditional ways and transformed life for the better.

= All great inventions and breakthroughs once challenged traditional ways and brought life-changing transformations .

6. If it had not been for innovations, we would still be living in caves and enjoying the stability of the Stone Age.

= If it hadn’t been for innovative approaches, we would still be enjoying a stable life in caves.

7. Minor changes are as important as major ones.

= Minor changes possess the same degree of importance as major ones.

8. These variations help people not to be taken over by routine ways of thinking and, more importantly, living.

= These variations help people not to be taken over by routine ways of thinking and, what is more important , living.

9. This, in turn, provides an opportunity to develop and evolve as individuals.

= This, in turn, provides an opportunity for personal development and evolution .

11. These people value traditional approach and view it as a pre-requisite for stability and peace of mind.

13. It may be hard and uncomfortable at times.

= It may be hard and bring discomfort at times.

14. Any alterations might feel threatening.

= Any alterations might feel like a threat .

15. Resisting it is highly unproductive.

Словообразование – тоже очень полезная штука. Из одного слова можно сделать несколько и свободно ими пользоваться. Можно менять структуру предложения, как вам заблагорассудится, и не ограничивать полет фантазии строгими рамками. Зачем менять структуру предложений? Снова по той же причине – чтобы избежать повторов. Только выше мы говорили про повторы слов, а сейчас про грамматические повторы, избыток которых смотрится невыигрышно и оценивается очень невысоко. То есть, такой например, фрагмент не получит высокого балла на IELTS:

Some people think that change is always positive. They believe that change brings multiple benefits. Others feel that change is a threat. They claim that change results in discomfort and confusion.

Несмотря на приличную лексику (за исключением повтора слова change) и правильную грамматику, все предложения написаны по одной модели.

Повторы и связность

Ну и напоследок, попробуем применить все, о чем мы говорили, на практике и прокачаем навыки письма IELTS эссе. Текст ниже – кошмарный кошмар, с которым нужно срочно что-то делать. Что именно? Переписать и избавиться от повторов – либо с помощью местоимений, либо синонимов, либо слов из того же тематического поля. Подсказка: нужные места зачеркнуты.
