Most people accept that when we speak more than one language, our perception of the world expands and becomes richer. Languages are linked to culture and often have unique meaning, which provide us with a better understanding of our world. We also assume that being bilingual is an advantage in the professional world, opening up opportunities to work for multi-national companies or doing business abroad.
But when we speak a second language, there is still another advantage that you might not even know about! Often called “the bilingual edge”, many language researchers and scientists who have studied the cognitive effects of learning more than one language tend to agree that our brains are affected by it. To what degree, however, and in what way, is still a topic of debate. In years past, for example, it was commonly believed that bilingual children were at a disadvantage when it came to verbal development and even their IQ score. Do you think being bilingual makes your smarter? An opinion essay. FCE Writing Practice test - task 1 - an email asking for more information. Business & English for Specific Purposes.

BUSINESS ENGLISH. Opening Sentences for Global Email.
Readers have asked me to suggest opening sentences for emails that go to people around the world. The goal of these openers is to avoid coming across as blunt and impolite, especially in messages to people from cultures in which English is not the first language. It is wise for people in the English-speaking business world to include a sentence of greeting rather than getting immediately into their business purpose when they write to people who expect and value such email courtesies. Below are a few opening sentences for international email. Each one would come after a greeting such as "Dear Dr. Rivas" or "Hello, Osouf. " We hope you are enjoying the season.I hope all is well.How are you?

Queen, lover, mother, outcast, victim and survivor - this is how historian and series narrator David Starkey assigns the roles of the six wives of Britain's most famous monarch Henry VIII in the sexual intrigue and cut-throat power politics of his long reign from 1509 to 1547. The series The Six Wives of Henry VIII takes a fresh approach and presents each wife's story from her perspective. Through the women's own words and powerful dramatizations, we learn that the wives were not pitiful victims or pawns but rather knowing players in a high-stakes game and remarkable individuals who managed to show great dignity even when facing exile and death.

Принцесса Диана и поныне остается одной из самых популярных персон Британии. «100 величайших британцев» (англ. 100 Greatest Britons) — британская теле- и радиопрограмма, вышедшая в 2002 году на телеканале и радиостанции «Би-би-си», посвящённая выбору ста самых величайших личностей в истории Великобритании.
В рамках программы проводилось специальное голосование среди жителей Великобритании, чтобы выбрать сто самых известных британцев и после дебатов выбрать величайшего представителя королевства. Цикл передач включал программы, посвящённые конкретным персонам, вошедшим в первую десятку списка величайших британцев, со зрителями, имеющими дополнительные возможности для голосования после каждой программы. После опроса состоялись дебаты, по которым и был составлен итоговый рейтинг британцев. В итоговую первую десятку рейтинга не вошёл ни один британец, бывший живым на момент проведения опроса.

По долгу аспирантуры я исследую три произведения британской литературы, объединяемые общим понятием «роман-портрет»: «Портрет Дориана Грея Грэя» Оскара Уайльда, «Женский Портрет» Генри Джеймса и «Портрет художника в юности» Джеймса Джойса. Как любитель афоризмов считаю нужным и полезным поделиться с читателями меткими высказывании из данных произведений.
Поэтому вслед за афоризмами из «Портрета Дориана Грэя» публикую из семейно-психологического романа американо-британского писателя Генри Джеймса (Henry James, 1843-1916) «Женский портрет» (The Portrait of a Lady, 1881). Русский перевод не мой, так что ответственности за его точность я не несу. — My envy’s not dangerous, it wouldn’t hurt a mouse. I don’t want to destroy the people — I only want to be them. You see it would destroy only myself.- Моя зависть неопасна; она никому не приносит вреда. А когда-то я взял у Михаила Хаминского коллекцию афоризмов о любви на испанском.
