В этом году я посещала элективный курс по английскому языку. Мы решили завести личные дневники на английском языке. Я выбрала ведение личного дневника на английском языке темой своего проекта, потому что мне стало интересно.
What is a personal diary?
Cambridge Dictionary explains –“a personal diary is a book in which you record your thoughts or feelings or what has happened each day.
I decided to keep a personal diary.
It is especially important to share my experiences, emotions during the day.
Many people use the PC and create their diary online. But I decided to keep a notebook-based diary. So I have to work hard. It is handy because I can take it anywhere to sit and write in.
I have chosen a quality notebook with a thick cover and decorated my personal diary — a yellow theme is perfect for a teenage girl. I try to make it attractive. They say a personal diary is a window not only into the world of memories and new experiences. Writing down what happened to you, you can express your emotions and feelings. It is a good chance to describe the best moments or negative emotions on the paper. It is a good chance to remember every moment of our life.
Pros and cons of writing a diary
Many teenagers like writing a diary. But keeping a diary has pros and cons.
Keeping a personal diary can absolutely change our life. Studies have shown that diary writing can help students improve marks and lowers stress.
On the one hand my personal diary helps me to learn English. Second I write English and I’m not afraid of mistakes. Third it is a good friend when I feel lonely.
Diary writing can help me focus on my goals and motivations. It can get me organized. It improves my memory. Writing things down can help them stay in my mind for longer.
On the other hand it takes a lot of time. Sometimes it is difficult to express my thoughts in English.
Anyway, my personal diary is always happy to «listen» to all my secrets. It helps me enjoy myself!
What do I write in my personal diary?
At first it was difficult to write my diary. Then my English teacher recommended me to have a plan for each day.
I should write the date, the day of the week, the word of the day, my wishes, my dos and donts. Besides I write my feelings and emotions during the day. Sometimes I write down some facts of my life.
The very first topic of my diary is the information about myself: my name, age and contact phone number. I write about my hobbies and interests, for example, about my favorite food, music, television programs, films or cartoons. In addition, in the diary, I can paste my photo and decorate it beautifully. I can write about the events of the past day, about relationships with classmates, about quarreling with friends or conflict with parents.
On another day I can write down my favorite poems, song words or quotations. Also, an excellent topic for my personal diary is animals. Besides, I can draw pictures, paste photos and stickers of my favorite cartoon characters, television series or movies. I write in it everything I want, all that I am afraid to say out loud.
I try not to show my diary to everyone. I know, openness can turn against me. I don’t want to lose or forget my diary.
How can it help me in learning English
I am sure my diary helps me in learning English.
First, I write English every day, learn new words and expressions. I revise the material of English lessons. Writing down in my diary I am not afraid of mistakes. Nobody checks my texts.
The brightest pages of my diary
I think some pages of my diary are very bright. I would like to show you 3 pages of it. (photo). Look at this page…
В заключении я хочу сказать, что мне понравилась эта работа. Вести личный дневник на английском очень интересно, познавательно. Дневник я вела с радостью, это стало привычкой — писать каждый вечер о своих эмоциях. Я дальше буду продолжать вести дневник на английском языке.

8. You need to read the text aloud. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud. — Вам нужно прочитать текст вслух.

This painting has a very interesting style. It’s called Man with a Guitar. The great Cubist artist Georges Braque painted it in 1911. It shows many different lines and shapes like squares and triangles. When you look very closely, however, you can see other things. You can make out parts of a human body. There seems to be a musical instrument in there, too. With a little imagination, you can see the parts of a guitar. And there’s something else about the painting. It’s the way the artist has used colour to show meaning. The painting is in grey, brown, yellow and green. All the colours are in dull shades. This gives it a gloomy feeling. When you look at the painting, you feel quite sad.
9. Use these words to describe painting B. — Используйте эти слова, чтобы описать картину В.
- strange objects — странные объекты
- swans on a smooth lake — лебеди на гладком озере
- reflection of elephants in lake — отражение слонов в озере
- bright colours — яркие цвета
- clear blue sky — ясно-голубое небо
How does it make you feel: astonished, anxious, curious, confused, excited? — Какие чувства вызывает у вас картина: изумление, тревогу, любопытство, конфуз, восхищение?
The painting Swans Reflecting Elefants was painted by Salvador Dali in 1937. In this surrealistic show, we can see an amazing combination of illusions. We see an independent image that changes when you stare on the picture and two different objects in which the artist sees an unexpected similarity. We can see three swans on a smooth lake and three dried-up trees. And we can see the reflection of elephants in the lake. Have you tried rotating the painting 180 degrees? Let’s do this. You’ll see that the basic idea of the painting has not changed. Still, we can see swans that are reflected in the lake as elephants. Bright, rich colours, clear blue sky, soft contours of strange objects, shapeless objects create an unusual atmosphere, strangely contrasting with the ordinary figure of a standing man in the background in the left part of the picture.
10. Do you agree with this quote? Discuss in small groups. — Вы согласны с этой цитатой? Обсудите в небольших группах.
Pablo Picasso — Пабло Пикассо
Probably Picasso was right. Some paintings reflect artist’s feelings better than words written in a diary. Some artists try to show their emotions, feelings in their painting. As they use imagination we can better understand their inner world. That’s why we think some artists are really crazy.
Возможно, Пикассо был прав. Некоторые картины отражают чувства художника лучше, чем слова, написанные в дневнике. Некоторые художники в своих картинах пытаются показать свои эмоции и чувства. Поскольку они используют свое воображение, мы можем лучше понять их внутренний мир. Вот почему мы думаем, что некоторые художники реально сумасшедшие.

I’m happy for your teacher too! Do you like the subject of her teaching? What has made her special? Do you think it is easy to be a teacher? Unfortunately, I have to go now. Hope to hear from you soon.
Modern world is unimaginable without the Internet.
For somebody it is a must for a job, but it is also so for a leisure and entertainment. Is it bad or not?
In my opinion, the Internet is not a time-waster is it is used in a right way. First of all, it has many advantages for people’s comfort. The Internet is a good for those who want to unwind after tiring day by watching films, playing games, reading news on topics they are interested in. Secondly, in the Internet you may find a lot of different new information in a few minutes. You do not have to waste time in a library or buy books and magazines. Finally, Internet is one of the ways to find new friends who shares your interests and ideas.
On the contrast, there exists another point of view. Many people think that the Internet is just a way of wasting time. They believe that it distracts people from their life and puts them into virtual one. Moreover, in their opinion Internet makes us stupider.
I cannot agree with the opinion above. In the Internet everyone can find tonnes of information that will expand their mind, help to find salvation of any problem and etc. Even videos and some games may be useful and educational.
In conclusion I would like to point out that the Internet is one of the greatest benefit of humanity made to facilitate our life and everyone should know limits of it’s using not to make it a time-waster.

“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” [P. Picasso]
Nicely put Mr Pablo Picasso.
Sometimes it is easier to capture a picture than to find the right words. I look back at the photos I have taken over the years, (whether the printed albums, or the computer catalogue) and it is a more revealing collection of my adventures & emotions & visits than any diary i kept. My written diary keeping was somewhat sporadic and incomplete. It took more effort to write everything down than my concentration span allowed for, so the stories of my younger self often fade to dotdotdot, or an empty page that i left with the vain hope of completing it later.
Pixels, paint or ink. Lightwaves, brushstrokes or words. Whichever tools and skills you gravitate towards they are all used to express oneself, and i rather like that Picasso implies that painting and writing are equal. It takes time to craft the words on a page, compose a camera shot, or edit a digital artpiece. It is somewhat theraputic. It uses both your experiences and imagination. It requires looking back at a moment in the past to create something in the present. Yes, ‘it’ could be painting, photography, writing, or another craft altogether.
At the moment i’m loving learning how to use my camera to portray my moods, express my thoughts, and share something i believe to be worthwhile. Mostly i’m doing that for myself, which does make it like a diary. However there is a small slice that i share with friends and bloggers because sometimes it is nice to see a reaction to my pictures. (Side note: i wonder what Picasso would have made of Instagram etc?!)
One thing that this quote has provoked me to think more about is the subjects of my photographs. If my photograph albums are like diaries, are there any gaps that need filling? Is there anything important missing? I’d suggest that most of us photograph big life events and then things that strike us as unusual or special…but perhaps don’t get the camera out for ‘everyday’ occasions. Mostly that would be because the normal background of our lives is not particularly worth bringing to the foreground. However, what may be part of the fabric of your life now may not be in years to come, and you may wish later you had a record of something that you loved but is beginning to fade from memory. For me, that would be pictures of my family sitting in their favourite seats, or relaxing in their fave way …
So my lesson for today, as inspired by Mr Picasso, is to capture those ‘everyday’ but ‘loved’ moments.
Does this quote by Picasso strike true for you too? Do share 🙂

ГДЗ #1
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
— I absolutely agree with this statement. People have diaries to express their emotions and feelings. Painting for artists is also way to share important things or thoughts or dreams. (Я абсолютно согласна с этим выражением. Люди ведут дневники для выражения своих эмоций и чувств).
— Yes. It’s true but only for genuine artists. There are a lot of painters who creates pictures to earn money. They can copy artworks of others famous artists. And even if they paint own pictures they don’t put their hearts into the process. (Да это правда но только для истинных художников. Много тех кто создает картины ради того чтобы заработать деньги. Они могут копировать работы других известных художников. И даже если они рисуют собственные картины, они не вкладывают в них свою душу)
— I see. They care about deadline and how much money they get after selling pictures. (Я понял. Они заботятся только о сроках и как много денег они получат после продажи картины).
— Do you have your own way to express emotions? (у тебя есть собственный способ для выражения эмоций?)
— I like drawing. And you? (Я люблю рисовать. А у тебя?)
— When I was a child I used to have my secret diary. Now I prefer to share my feelings with close friends. (Когда я была ребенком, у меня был секретный дневник. Сейчас я предпочитаю делиться своими чувствами с близкими друзьями)
ГДЗ #2
Студент 1: What do you think this quote means? (Что вы думаете, что эта цитата значит?)
Студент 2: I think it is saying that some people like to draw and paint things rather than write about them.(Я думаю, она говорит,о том,что некоторые люди любят рисовать картины, а не писать о них).
Студент 3: I agree. I think it is easier to express feelings through art, rather than writing about them or talking about them.(Я согласен. Я думаю, что что так легче выразить свои чувства через искусство, нежели писать о них или говорить).
Студент 4: Well I like to write things in my diary.(Ну, я люблю писать в моем дневнике).
Студент 2: Yes, but other people prefer to draw about their lives.(Да, но другие люди предпочитают рисовать о своей жизни).
Студент 1: I think they are many ways to express yourself and show your emotions. People should try different ways to express themselves. (Я думаю, что у них есть много способов, чтобы выразить себя и показать свои эмоции. Люди должны попробовать различные способы для выражения себя)

У этой картины очень интересный стиль. Она называется «Человек с гитарой». Великий кубинский художник Джордж Брак нарисовал её в 1911 году. На ней показаны множество различных линий и фигур, таких как квадраты и треугольники. Однако, если присмотреться, то можно увидеть и другие вещи. Можно выделить части человеческого тела. Кажется, там также есть музыкальный инструмент. С небольшим воображением можно увидеть части гитары. И есть еще кое-что по поводу этой картины. Это способ использования художником цвета, чтобы передать смысл. Картина написана в серых, коричневых, жёлтых и зелёных тонах. Все оттенки тусклые. Это придает ей ощущение мрачности. Когда вы смотрите на картину, вы чувствуете грусть.
9. Use these words to describe painting B. — Используйте эти слова, чтобы описать картину В.
strange objects — странные объекты
swans on a smooth lake — лебеди на гладком озере
reflection of elephants in lake — отражение слонов в озере
bright colours — яркие цвета
clear blue sky — ясно-голубое небо
How does it make you feel: astonished, anxious, curious, confused, excited? — Какие чувства вызывает у вас картина: изумление, тревогу, любопытство, конфуз, восхищение?
Возможный ответ:

Картина «Лебеди, отражающиеся в слонах» была написана Сальвадором Дали в 1937 году. В этом сюрреалистическом шоу мы видим удивительную комбинацию иллюзий. Мы видим как самостоятельный образ, который изменяется, если пристально смотреть на картину, так и два непохожих друг на друга объекта, в которых художник выявляет неожиданное сходство. Мы видим трех лебедей и три засохших дерева. И мы видим отражение слонов в озере. Вы пробовали повернуть картину на 180 градусов? Попробуйте. Вы увидите, что основная идея картины не изменилась. По-прежнему мы видим лебедей, которые, отражаясь в озере, принимают облик слонов. Яркие, насыщенные цвета, чистое голубое небо, мягкие контуры странных объектов, бесформенные предметы создают необычную атмосферу, странно контрастирующую с обыкновенной фигурой стоящего человека на заднем плане в левой части картины.

“PAINTING IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF KEEPING A DIARY!”
~PABLO PICCASSO
Answer this:
How would it be if there would not be any laughter? How would it feel if no one had a sense of humour?
Any thought on that?? Good, Bad or worst??
If your answer is any way in positive, I feel sorry for you…
Anyhow, I want to ask you another question…
What if there was no art in it??
Yes, ART… It could be in any form dance, music, literature, painting, etc..
I asked few people the same question!
I’m combining the answers altogether:
“Art is about self-expression and creativity. Creativity gave birth to everything currently… And if there was no art, there would have been a great void in the world; it would have made the world colourless. For example, “Wheel” it may look like a small circled thing, but the invention of it gave birth to transportation; it helped textile industry, electricity and many things.
No art means thinking inside the box, in short keeping the human brain locked up in a prison. That way, there would be no creativity. When there’s no creativity, there would be no innovation that would stop the progress in any field!
Human being has a bundle of wants; art plays a vital role in satisfying it! We require music, books etc., to keep us entertained! Sometimes they also help us get out of depression; it is a friend that stays with us no matter what.
Human beings are given an upper hand for a simple reason, they are creative, and a human himself is an art! A beautiful creation! If we take out the creativity, what would be the difference between humans and the other animals?
In Simpler words, Life Without Art is similar to life without breath.”
The best part was, no one gave similar answer. Everyone had something different to answer. It is not surprising that no two people gave similar answer to even what art is…
You can compare different dictionaries, not many words would be given similar definition.
So, that shows how important art is! We have lived in this world for millenniums… The reason why we have come this far is only because of art…
You might be wondering, ‘how can everyone answer for the support of creativity?’
Well, I asked people of different age groups! Out of all the people who answered the question, only one person had something against creativity. That person said, “Everything has a positive and a negative effect. Creativity is just expanding our thinking capacity. Good creativity led to the discovery of pen whereas bad creativity led to the discovery of weapons. It’s just how one uses the power. So, in one way the absence of creativity might lead to no peace, no harmony, whereas it might end up the production of things which are harmful to us.”
To that I want to answer one thing, if weapons weren’t discovered there would have not been any human kind alive, the early men used the weapons for protection from dangerous creatures. Now, we might not require any weapons, but that guy said it himself, it all depends on how you use it.
A friend of mine asked me, “Hey, you scored amazing marks, why aren’t you trying in any top 10 colleges?”
C’mon, marks won’t keep you happy. Yes, my mark is good, I could have gotten in few of those top colleges, but why should I select them? Where ever I end up going, all I would do is dig into my creativity.
“ART IS THE MOST INTENSE FORM OF INDIVIDUALISM THAT THE WORLD HAS KNOWN.”
~OSCAR WILDE
We have ended up with a generation in which, 50% of the population doesn’t even know they are creative, 25% are aware of their creativity but are following the society and who end up calling the successful people “lucky”, 15% want to follow their passion but they don’t just because of what the society would think, the remaining 10% of the population are the one who chase their passion and encourage their as well as everyone’s creativity.
Ever heard of this?
“YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR OWN DESTINY”
~Swami Vivekananda
When something is created, the person who makes it doesn’t start with the direct idea of making it, he feels something has to be made for this reason, for example, the creator of umbrella wanted to make something to save him from getting wet or to escape the extreme heat, that’s when his creativity kicked in!
“THE AIM OF ART IS TO REPRESENT NOT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF THINGS, BUT THEIR INWARD SIGNIFICANE.”
~ ARISTOTLE
Art acts the same way salt acts to food, but the only difference is, the more the art, the happier may the life be! Art is just like meditating, it brings out the feelings of the inner soul, which is very hard to describe. That’s the reason why it is difficult for people to describe, poems, songs, paintings etc., in words, it reflects the inner language!
If people would make their passion to their profession, the world might be a better place or the least they could do is encourage others, instead of criticizing it! The path may be difficult, harsh and may seem impossible to reach, but the journey, the life is worth the pain!
I almost forgot one of the best sayings on art:
“EARTH WITHOUT ART IS JUST ‘EH’!”
~Unknown.
Few days back, I met one of my cousins after a gap of around 10 years, almost at the end of the conversation, he asked me, “You don’t talk much?” I simply answered, “Ha-ha! Being a poet, I let my poems do the talking!”
In my words, everyone is a born as a poem and goes on becoming a poet when he starts to live the life!
“IF ART IS TO NOURISH THE ROOTS OF OUR CULTURE SOCIETY MUST SET THE ARTIST FREE TO FOLLOW HIS VISION WHERE-EVER IT TAKES HIM.”
~ JOHN F. KENNEDY
So, art and creativity do play a major role in this world.. But it also matters how you one uses it!
I thank everyone who gave in their opinion… Do tell, what your opinion is.. I’ll be back with another amazing post.. Until then, just LIVE yOUR LIFE!
