Art is a very important part of my life. I can’t imagine my life without art, and the only thing I want to do till the end of my life is create art. Art has a special role in my life that nothing can replace. In fact, it evokes many indescribable emotions. Art is a way to disconnect from the world and live in another reality for a while. I believe that art can heal hearts. To be honest, I’m not interested in sports at all. I don’t like watching sports or playing sports. It’s a bit boring for me. Sometimes I watch football, but the most interesting sport that I like to watch is weightlifting. I’ve attended some sports, like swimming and tennis. I don’t like swimming, and when I went swimming, I was constantly stressed because I was afraid of the water. Finally, I will say that sports do not play a special role in my life, but art is a very important part.

Review 9, units 25, 26, 27

I think that friendship is one of the most important thing in the world. We can have so many friends, but who are actually the real ones? The real ones are always the ones that stay with you in any situation and fights with you against your problems, forgetting about his own problems. I have one favorite song about old friends. The name of that song is Old friend by Rouben Hakhverdyan. This song may be just words lined up together, but it actually has a lot of meaning about true friends. The real friendship has really important meaning to me. I already have that real friendship and I would like it to live forever.

I think that everyone in the world should choose specialty that they’re really interested in. Our work depends on how much we love it. People are the best in the specialty that they have chosen with love. Absolutely I’m one of those people who will prepare to have their favorite occupation to be their specialty. But, to be honest I have many occupations and I can’t choose one for my future. I’m sure that in the future I will choօse the specialty that I’m actually devoted. In our world there are so many specialties and I would like to try them all. It’s the most important thing for me now, and I need to think very deeply before I finally choose the only profession of my heart and life.

Do we live to work or work to live?

I think mostly I live to work. Having my dream work is one of my biggest dreams. Absolutely we can’t live without working, but if I will have a work that won’t be what I wanted I won’t live. I just will survive․

The internet is a very important part of my life. Actually I can’t imagine my life without phone and internet. In our days internet can help about every kind of problem, it can give us much information, we can know week or day news without watching a news bulletins. Media education is actually a very good thing, very relevant nowadays. It has both advantages and disadvantages. There are many disadvantages, but I think they are solvable. For example, depending on the purpose for which the learner uses that media platform, for class or for his own pleasure. A student can easily get distracted from their main lesson and move on to games, etc. The next disadvantage is that the Internet puts a person in a very strong addiction, from which it is difficult to get out. There are many advantages too. The Internet makes our lives much easier. On the one hand, this can be considered an advantage, on the other hand, a disadvantage. However, the Internet can give us a lot of information and knowledge if we use it correctly.

I’ve had my blog since 10 years old. First time I liked it, but when comes the time that I had to use it, it was so hard to me. I didn’t understand anything and it makes me cry and depress. But after some months I learnt how to use it and it was great. I understood that it is perfect for education. I update my blog every year. Now I’m 15 and I think that working with blog isn’t so good. We don’t write much handwriting and that retrains the hand so it can make problems in the future. I think this is only disadvantage of using a blog as an educational tool. Actually it speeds up and simplifies our work. So using blogs has more advantages than disadvantages
