The assets and downsides of smart homes

 

Stating the point of view

Smart homes are thought to offer remarkable conveniences for people; however, like everything, they may have certain disadvantages. I tend to view that their drawbacks far more outweigh their bright sides, though.

Advantages

Without a doubt , smart homes are equipped with state-of-the-art gadgets like automatic vacuum cleaners, energy-efficient washing machines, top brand dishwashers, which can assist us in washing up everything crystal cleanly and relatively swiftly ; intelligent coffee makers combined with smart percolators, multi-functioning microwave ovens, nicely designed electric cookers, impressive refrigerators, etc. People are merely ...

Great Podcasts for Improving English

Podcast recommendation 

As podcasts are getting more and more popular, some English learners may intend to perfectionate their skills with the help of podcast listening.

Not a long ago did I come across Luke’s English Podcast , which is thought to be exemplary for some reasons. letoltes.jpg

Firstly, its content is enjoyable since Teacher Luke covers diverse topics such as films, sport events, politics, teaching experience, methods, learning strategies, British comedy, and interviews with intriguing people, some rambling about different issues, etc... the list is almost endless. So everybody can find some material which interests them. This podcast is definitely brilliant because of the length of each episode is generally slightly more than one hour, which I think is considerable and ...

Recommending a book: Mindset

Dear Readers,

Those who are keen on reading a book in English, I wholeheartedly recommend a book that I am currently reading. The title of it is Mindset written by Carol S. Dweck , and it deals with a deep, psychological issue: how to learn to fulfil our potential. 

This glamorous book attempts to give some visible evidence that basically two types of people exist: 

1_q70hue5dazd3gz9gg1hh5w.jpegPeople with fixed mindset tend to think that their personal skills are highly exceptional and superior to anybody's, they think that they are especially talented and gifted; however, whenever they fail their progress is hindered since they rather give up the challenge than try to face it. In contrast, people with growth mindset are aware of the fact that failures are inevitable in life and they can contribute ...

The Hangover-film review

Writing a film review

How to write a film review? What to pay attention to?

Students may be asked to write in diverse genres at a CPE exam. With a sample piece of writing, I  would like to show how to structure a film review in a possible logical way.

The Hangover- film review 

The Hangover is regarded as a box office success produced by Todd Philips, released in 2009. If you start watching this hilarious comedy, I am entirely sure that you will be glued to the screen for approximately 1.5 hours.

This well-known comedy depicts a bunch of best friends (Doug, Phil, Stue and Alan) celebrating a “forgettable” bachelor party in Los Angeles. They promise each other that they will have the most memorable party in their life. The next day when the three of them wake ...
