Self Assessment of ESP Learning

Writing skills: writing summaries wasn't one of the most lovely task for me :) maybe it is because of lack of knowledges how to do that correctly.And it needs a lot of practice and enough time to understand each article.But after several writing tasks it looked that everything is going well.When talking about tests it was really hard for me.Because they are frequent and it is not easy to learn more and more new specific words of psychology science.On the other hand it will help us in the future in our works.Self designed tests was very great task!Firstly because it not only helps us to learn the main things of the topic,but also give interesting time while creating them with friend.I like this writing task :).Dictations helps not only for writing but also for listening practice as well.It is way dictations were very useful.Finally contributions to web logs was new task.It give us ability not only to improve our writing but also to design and put a picture near..It is great :)

Speaking skills: we spend a lot of time by practicing speaking.At first it was quite strange for me.How we could talk for half an our..?But i understand that chatting with class friends or discussions in pairs give us a chance to make our dictionary larger,to improve our speaking skills and to know new words in interesting way.Of course now i can say that my speaking skills are really better and that my language is more fluently.

Listening skills: Listening is great! It give us chance to know what it is true English language. Because sometimes it looks that we know a lot of different words and expressions,that we know how discus and write..and it is enough..but no! When i felt that i can't understand words that i really know but i am listening i understood that listening tasks is the best way how to improve listening skills.We didn't make these task frequently,but tasks were really interesting.When it is not boring to listen (listen activities in class)you can understand more!It really works!At home sometimes it is more difficult to listen without breaks,but it also helps for me!

Reading skills: Home reading is the mane task of what i was doing at home for a long time.Yes,we need a lot of time for all these topics,but they give us new knowledges of science of psychology as well as gives reading skills.Sometimes it looks: oh how difficult to find time for such a longs topics,but they are really very useful and interesting to read.Class reading tasks were also related with our profession so it was not boring to read.Then you can discuss with your partner and the value is much bigger. finally about computer tasks: they were one of the most interesting.For example reading news in BBC was great..!News are from all around the world,articles are well written also related with videos or pictures.Impressive!because all tasks which is interesting give for me more and more benefits!!

Body language

In the past people were not aware about such a thing like a body language. It existed but wasn‘t important as much and they don‘t pay enough attention.But now people go deeper to psychology science , they try to explain our unconscious movements of body as well.

One of the most basic and powerful body language signal is when a person crosses his arms across the chest. This show that person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. But it can also indicate that people is deeply thinking about what is being discussed. However usually it shows that people is expressing opposition.

Another important thing when we talk about body language is eye contact. It could be consistent or no.If yes it indicates that person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. But it can also mean that the other person doesn‘t trust the speaker enough to take his eye off.

Also it is adviced don‘t be afraid to take some space when you socialise with other. It show that you fell comfortable and self confidence. Standing too close means that everybody gets weirded out by close talker. So let‘s people have their personal space don‘t invade it.

One more very important thing in body language is not to be fidget. Shaking your legs, tapping fingers or touching ear or scratching chin can mean that you disbelief or feel not relaxed.

Other not so noticeable things are walking with hands in pockets which means dejection or open palm means sincerity, oneness, innocence. For example standing with hands in pockets means readiness or agression,but sometimes we are doing this because it is cold and we don't have gloves. While nod means that you are listening but don‘t over do it, because you could look strange like a woody :) . Other people state that such a thing like hair style is also very important thing which can say a lot about person's character.

All these things and a lot of more can say about what you are thinking or how you are feeling, but on the other hand don‘t trust these facts too much because everyone is individual and different person's features can mean different things.

Artificial intelligence

Nowadays we can here more and more people speaking about artificial intelligence.But was does it means..?Could it be the same thing as the real intelligence..?I think-no way.
Firstly intelligence is a ability not only to think rationally, solve problems in various ways, have a good knowledges of mathematic or other sciences.It is also ability to create something new.For example to create a new melody,new song,write a poem,create a new painting or decorate paper...
In fact computer or robot could made that but just from a part of information which is in computer or robot "brains"-just from their working system.They can create unique and absolutely new things.
Furthermore artificial intelligence-(if we called it as a working system of computer) is able to count,measure various things,to help people in a lot of parts of work,but artificial intelligence can't have normal feeling and intuition as well.It is way this creation is called "artificial".
What is more i think that progress of our science in the near future could create something the same as the real intelligence,but it would be the biggest laugh of what human have.Than there would be no importance for humans to think,create,imagine,dream.Everything would be made better by computer.There would be no stimulation to do something new for the world.
If we create artificial intelligence,we will create artificial world.Who wants to live in it..??

Restatement summary "Babies show social intelligence"

New researches showed that babies can distinquish who is their friend and who is an anemy.

USA scientists explored that babies who are just a few months have capability to make social evaluations.Six months infants are able to learn a lot.Yale university made several experiments with six and ten months babies to evaluate their behavior with others.They proved that infants like more helper charackters.Findings showed that human can evaluate social skills earlier in development.Until six months infants show preferences for other's atractiveness.

But there are some doubts about the idea that until 18 months they are true social creatures.

A person who influenced me

I don't know how exactly explain my and Juste relationship.We have never said to each other that you are called "my best friend" but it doesn't matter.Probably she was one of the most special human in my life.Our friendship started in one scout's camp - it was the first time when we met each other and spend a lot of time together.
She was a person who influenced me a lot. At first sight she looked like something shining and bright in a people crowd. Juste was friendly and active to almost everyone-that really attract me.So we became friends as well. Still today i can learn from her unuasal and extraordinary viewpoint to life, being calm in dangerous situations, making friends and tolerance to various people. Moreover it is difficult to see her angry or being irritable.I enjoy seeing that she us a girl without frames ,stereotypes in her personality.Furthermore she is open, warm and cosy.You just don't notice how her goodness influence you as well. You can,t be angry or nervous being with her.
When you pay Juste's respect, when you feel better being with her- you understand how important human it is to you!I also take over some features from Juste.We started to travel to camps,now our viewpoint to life is quite similar, we have long list of desires and wishes that we want to realize in the near future.
A person who change my life for the better.It is imposible to be identical or put all great things from her to yourself, but i know how significant she is even though he is far away now.

Psychology of dreams

In the past dreams were considered as God's revelation, therefore they were explained only by priests.
Nowadays it is said that dreams are one of the most mysterious process in human brain.Still today mechanism of dreams creating is not clear.Researches from all over the world present various typs of hypotheses,but it is difficult to explain everything just in labaratory.Ussualy new hipothesis is denyed by new examples of dreams.However psychologists state that dreams are related with personal human experience.The most dreams are affected by events,facts,information from the past.Of course it is good explanation,but on the other hand it can't involve other very interesting and mysterous dream's creating mechanism.Also dreams are affected by what is happening inside our organisms: it is digest, temperature,state of health and so on.There are two typess of dreams as well.One dreams can be explained by person who dream them,because they can be quite logical,with details from his true life.But other type of dreams are unaccountable even for a dreamer.They ussualy are influenced by physiological and other details from our health state.One people pay attention to everything what they are dreaming-they buy dream's books, but other just forget them very quickly.The fact is that we all dream.It doesn't matter if we remember or not.It depends when and how we wake up,because there are several different stages of sleeping and dreaming.
It is said that creating diary of dreams is also very interesting thing,because we can forecast our future events,but i think it is not great idea.
Now we all know that dreams comes from our unconscious minds and sometimes they are just a chaos of thousand of our minds.So we shouldn't make serious desicions about them.
