### Anna Alekseeva
The students have access to our online school and their KPI is to complete not less than 1 unit per month (4 lessons) and to attend at least 1 individual class.
Their teacher's comment:
We have mostly worked through all the Level 14 EF book units. Their speaking is very good but they really struggle with conditionals. We have reviewed them before but they really need more work on them.Especially mixed conditionals. Alyona can be quite shy but her English is very good. Kirill reads and writes very well, but his speaking and listening needs practice. Iskander, is on level 15 and is doing wonderfully.
We'll have 2 more new students, who are going to attend a trial class: Alexander Shindin and Dmitry Fidelman
Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что при расчете удержаний мы учитываем только те пропуски, о которых вы заблаговременно предупреждаете (достаточно короткого письма на настоящий электронный адрес). В связи с тем, что уровень группы - advanced, то компенсация от ЛК - 0%.

Shift from globalisation to regionalisation

textbook
Urban sprawl
Key Signs of Urban Sprawl
Low-density housing:
Single-family homes sit on large plots of land rather than in tall, compact apartment buildings.
Car dependency:
Long distances between homes, jobs, and shops mean people must drive everywhere due to a lack of walking paths or public transit.
Single-use zoning:
Homes, offices, and stores are kept in separate areas instead of mixed together in a walkable neighbourhood.
Leapfrog development:
Buildings pop up in disconnected patches with empty fields left behind in between.
Common Problems It Causes
More pollution:
Extra driving creates more exhaust, which dirties the air and increases traffic.
Loss of nature:
Paving over land destroys forests, animal habitats, and farms.
Higher costs:
Running water, electricity, and roads out to far-away houses costs cities much more tax money
T / Cl
Global village
The "global village" is the idea that the world is shrinking into a single community. This happens because fast communication, modern travel, and digital technology link people everywhere. Distance no longer stops humans from sharing news, culture, and daily life instantly.
Origin of the Term
Coined in the early 1960s by Marshall McLuhan, a Canadian media expert.
Predicted that electronic media like television would connect the planet.
Suggested that people would feel the impact of events far away just as if they happened next door.
Key Features
Instant sharing:
News and ideas travel across the planet in seconds.
Borderless communication:
Digital tools let you talk or work with people far away.
Shared culture:
Pop culture, trends, and events cross national borders with ease.
Interdependence:
Economies and societies rely on each other to function
T / Cl
Regionalisation
Regionalisation means the process of dividing a large area into smaller regions, or the tendency of separate countries and areas to group together through shared economic, political, or social ties. It focuses on building local or regional strength instead of pure global connection.
Key Contexts and Meanings
Politics and Governance:
Shifting power and decision-making from a central national government down to local or state regional authorities.
Economics and Trade:
The creation of local trade blocks or closer economic cooperation between neighbouring countries rather than open global trade.

How to recognise storytelling devices used by the narrator
Describing literal & figurative conflicts
active
edit_ol_qa
pix/icons8-collaboration-100_white.png
Should the narrator of a story provide you with all the details, or just plant enough seeds for you to grow the plot and harvest the outcome?
✓ setting the backdrop without giving away the plot
✓ relying on readers' curiosity & imagination to fill in the gaps
backdrop = painted piece of fabric that is hung behind the stage in a theatre as part of the scenery; general conditions in which an event takes place, which sometimes help to explain that event
Look at this picture.
→ answer the questions]]>
Who are these protagonists?
✓ brother & sister
✓ lovers
✓ characters in a computer game
protagonist = main character in a play, film or book
Are they really crossing swords to settle a dispute?
✓ just practising for fun
✓ flirting with swords
✓ trying to get to the next stage of the game
to cross swords = phrase coming from literal sword-fighting and duelling, where combatants would cross their blades to parry blows or initiate a fight. Now also an idiom meaning to have an argument, dispute, or disagreement with someone
What will their story be about?
✓ the siblings need to revenge their father who was murdered by a villain
✓ the lovers will repeatedly tease each other and experience passion, hate, and bitter regrets
✓ gamers can fulfil their aspirations of becoming heroes in the eyes of each other while their real life is filled with solitude and hopelessness
to tease = to laugh at sb and make jokes about them either in a friendly way or in order to annoy or embarrass them; to annoy an animal, especially by touching it, pulling its tail, etc

Can you recognise discourse devices in prose?
Read the excerpt
→ answer the questions
→ recycle narrative discourse devices
→ make assumptions with 'must, have to'
It must have been colder earlier.
→ make suppositions with the 3rd conditional
If the weather had been better, perhaps the victim wouldn't have chosen a hansom cab to Paddington Station.
]]>
Who do you think are the narrator and narratee?
→ narrator
✓ some detective reading notes made by Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher
✓ a plaintiff during court proceedings
→ narratee
✓ a judge
(...)
narratee = person to whom a narrative is told
plaintiff = person who makes a formal complaint against sb in a court of law
Who is the character? What can you suppose from the precise description of how much he paid?
✓ Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard
✓ attentive, patient
✓ he might be imagining the way someone spent their day
→ perhaps he's checking how much was spent by a victim on the day they disappeared...
Which are central events, and which are additional events? Why are the latter mentioned?
✓ main event
→ buying 2 rail tickets
✓ additional events
→ the day was warm
→ if the day was warm for the first time, perhaps it had been chilly or raining previously - which is why a cab was taken
→ there must have been a reason for stopping in Chippenham on the way to Trowbridge instead of going directly
What does your knowledge frame help you assume?
✓ Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard can't have been doing some tourism the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
✓ the investigation must have been launched on serious grounds (theft, murder)
How can you actively participate in the text by using your own experiences to fill in the narrative gaps?
(your own answers)
〆gap filling may not be within the periphery of your knowledge
→ active reading is perhaps too challenging without more guidance from the author
〆such story telling technique focusing on specific, past historical context could alienate contemporary readers
→ not a universal, timeless narrative despite misleading lack of metaphors & use of plain English
= only for English readers?

Trowbridge = town which became the county town of Wiltshire in 1889 when Wiltshire County Council was formed and sought a place which representatives from Swindon and Salisbury, among others, could reach and return home from in one day. Trowbridge fulfilled this criterion by its railway connections and thus was chosen as the county town, further reinforced by the construction of County Hall in 1939
Chippenham = market town and civil parish in north-west Wiltshire, England. It lies 13 miles north-east of Bath, 86 miles west of London and is near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Scotland Yard = nickname for the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service (the police force covering most of Greater London). The name stuck because the original headquarters, established in 1829, was located on a London street called Great Scotland Yard

How to recognise storytelling devices used by the narrator
Describing literal & figurative conflicts
active
edit_ol_qa
pix/icons8-collaboration-100_white.png
Should the narrator of a story provide you with all the details, or just plant enough seeds for you to grow the plot and harvest the outcome?
✓ setting the backdrop without giving away the plot
✓ relying on readers' curiosity & imagination to fill in the gaps
backdrop = painted piece of fabric that is hung behind the stage in a theatre as part of the scenery; general conditions in which an event takes place, which sometimes help to explain that event
Look at this picture.
→ answer the questions]]>
Who are these protagonists?
✓ brother & sister
✓ lovers
✓ characters in a computer game
protagonist = main character in a play, film or book
Are they really crossing swords to settle a dispute?
✓ just practising for fun
✓ flirting with swords
✓ trying to get to the next stage of the game
to cross swords = phrase coming from literal sword-fighting and duelling, where combatants would cross their blades to parry blows or initiate a fight. Now also an idiom meaning to have an argument, dispute, or disagreement with someone
What will their story be about?
✓ the siblings need to revenge their father who was murdered by a villain
✓ the lovers will repeatedly tease each other and experience passion, hate, and bitter regrets
✓ gamers can fulfil their aspirations of becoming heroes in the eyes of each other while their real life is filled with solitude and hopelessness
to tease = to laugh at sb and make jokes about them either in a friendly way or in order to annoy or embarrass them; to annoy an animal, especially by touching it, pulling its tail, etc
How successful have you been at guessing the above answers? What does it suggest?

Can you recognise discourse devices in prose?
Read the excerpt
→ answer the questions
→ recycle narrative discourse devices
→ make assumptions with 'must, have to'
It must have been colder earlier.
→ make suppositions with the 3rd conditional
If the weather had been better, perhaps the victim wouldn't have chosen a hansom cab to Paddington Station.
]]>
Who do you think are the narrator and narratee?
→ narrator
✓ some detective reading notes made by Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher
✓ a plaintiff during court proceedings
→ narratee
✓ a judge
(...)
narratee = person to whom a narrative is told
plaintiff = person who makes a formal complaint against sb in a court of law
Who is the character? What can you suppose from the precise description of how much he paid?
✓ Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard
✓ attentive, patient
✓ he might be imagining the way someone spent their day
→ perhaps he's checking how much was spent by a victim on the day they disappeared...
Which are central events, and which are additional events? Why are the latter mentioned?
✓ main event
→ buying 2 rail tickets
✓ additional events
→ the day was warm
→ if the day was warm for the first time, perhaps it had been chilly or raining previously - which is why a cab was taken
→ there must have been a reason for stopping in Chippenham on the way to Trowbridge instead of going directly
What does your knowledge frame help you assume?
✓ Detective-Inspector Jonathan Whicher of Scotland Yard can't have been doing some tourism the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
✓ the investigation must have been launched on serious grounds (theft, murder)
How can you actively participate in the text by using your own experiences to fill in the narrative gaps?
(your own answers)
〆gap filling may not be within the periphery of your knowledge
→ active reading is perhaps too challenging without more guidance from the author
〆such story telling technique focusing on specific, past historical context could alienate contemporary readers
→ not a universal, timeless narrative despite misleading lack of metaphors & use of plain English
= only for English readers?
