I have read an article 'I felt so worthless': two teenagers on their mental health struggles.
1.An issue is devoted to suicidal thoughts of 2 teenagers because of their appearance, worthless state and stress.

 2.I’m concerned about this issue because many teenagers don’t have trustworthy people with whom they can share their problems and feelings.

 3.  3 things in an article that made me think about:
1. When I saw the pictures of these beautiful teenagers , I could not believe that they could have any problems and even suicidal thoughts. Just how people who are not disabled, who have a family, who have beautiful appearance can even think about death?
2. Lack of motivations and aims in their lives.
3.Why practically all classmates were apathetic to their problems and state?
4.  After reading this interesting article, I have some questions to ask:
1. How have their lives changed after being in a psychiatric hospital?
2. What are the concrete reasons of their depression?

5. In Russia young people can face a discrimination at school. Another problem is being a derelict at class.
  • Here are some words and expressions, which I find useful to know:
    1.restrict -ограничивать , ставить предел.
    2.self-harming- причинение вреда самому себе.
    3.withdrawn- ушедший в себя.
    4.a distressed state- угнетённое состояние.
    5.handle-справляться

One language spoken worldwide would lead to better international relations.

language is one of the important sources of self-identification and a symbol of national identity. However, only one spoken worldwide language is able to change everything. First of all, if there was only one spoken worldwide language , people from all over the world would overcome the language barrier. People from different countries would understand each other and have a conversation without any difficulties whenever they would go. In addition, if there was only one spoken language, all political leaders and diplomats would be able to immediately discuss all the important problems related to economics and politics.They would not need interpreters who could misinterpret or misinform them."

Human Envy on Social Networks

-
   The article "How to be happy when everyone else ‘ s life looks perfect" written by Moya Sarner is devoted to the discussion of the problem of human envy.     First, the author draws our attention to envy on social networks.As we all know, social networks, such as Instagram, Vk, Facebook and so on were created not only for communication between people, but also for sharing news, photos or videos with them. Being on social networks, we expect people to see their actual life on their accounts but it is not always so.... In most cases we face to a photoshopped life on social networks or, in other words, just an edited verson of reality.     The author analyzes that ordinary users take these photoshopped pictures at face value and start being depressed or even envious about it.

Film Review/ 'Escape Room'

Изображение
Yesterday I watched an exciting movie which is called ‘Escape Room’. It’s a psychological horror mystery film, as it is full frightening action moments which keeps you in suspense during the whole film. I think that ‘Columbia Pictures’ did a great job because this film is worth seeing. The plot is about 6 strangers: an excellent student Zoey, a stock boy Ben, a day trader Jason, a war veteran Amanda, a tracker Mike, and an escape room enthusiast Danny. Once all of them got small black boxes with an invitation to a quest. They all agreed to come because a winner will receive one million dollars! All they had to do was just to find an escape from every room, in which they were closed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.  The film stars are: Taylor Russell as Zoey Davis, Logan Miller as Ben Miller, Deborah Ann Woll as Amanda Harper, Tyler Labine as Mike Nolan, Jay Ellis as Jason Walker, Nik Dodani as Danny Khan and others. From my point of view, all actresses...
