Phsychology of music

Music plays an important role in our life. It can help us to relax, concentrate, or to take exercises. But why we might love listening to our favourite tunes and find them enjoyable? What is it exactly that makes us respond to music in a particular way? There is more why we like music than just a catchy beat or an easy tune. Dozens of receptors in our brain respond to different aspects like tone rhythm and lyrics determining qualities we personally like or dislike. Researchers found that dopamine releses during moments of enjoyment while listeng to music. That's what gives us the chills. The same chemical reaction as when we fall in love. Basically our brain loves listening to music. Also music involves more parts of the brain than any other function that people perform. Music as well is known to improve language skills and creativity. Music can decrease anxiety, increase optimism and decrease pain. Also students taking courses in music performance show higher results in their t...

Travelling by train and car

   There is no doubt that modern life is impossible without travelling. From time to time one should leave the place he lives or works in for a while to change the scenery because one gets tired of the same surroundings and daily routine.    One of the methods of travelling is by train. There are different kinds of trains. Long-distance trains are fast trains. Local trains make stops and you can get on or off a train at a very small station, even if it is only a platform. If you are going to a distant place, a sleeping compartment is very comfortable.    To avoid the trouble of standing long hours in a queue, you’d better book tickets in advance. When the loudspeaker at the railway station announces that your train is in, the passengers are asked to take their seats. The carriage and compartment are appointed in your ticket, and you'll find them easily. And then it is time for you to find your berth. It may be a lower berth, which is more convenient, or ...

Travelling by air and sea

   When you travel from one continent to another, you have two ways of travelling: flying on an airplane or sailing on a ship. Sailing ships have crossed oceans for hundreds of years, while planes have only delivered passengers overseas for decades. Both methods will get you to your destination, but they have different pros and cons.    The most significant difference between plane and ship travelling is the amount of time it takes to reach your destination. Most flights take just a few hours, and only the longest flights last longer than one day. Ship travelling, on the other hand, always take several days to reach to reach your destination. A flight for example from New York City to London may take about 11 to 12 hours. Cruise ship, on the other hand, takes in average four or five days, not including side trips along the way.    Air travelling is significantly less expensive than sea travelling. You can fly from New York to London for less than $1,00...
1. In my opinion the advantage of the tutoria sustem is that groups of students in tutorials are very small so the tutor can  pay enough attention to every student and even give personal advice. But at some point the small amount of student in a group is also a disadvantage of tutorials because you always have to be concentated and there is no time for getting distracted. 2. The good thing about the student's uniform is that it promotes University spirit. But on the other hand if the uniform is not much comfortable, it won't be very pleasant to wear it. 3. Residential colleges are good for students from other cities and countries and even for those who live far from the college as they can live near it. Along with that there is a chance that the living conditions in the hall of residence won't be good. Also students usually have to share their room which is not acceptable for some of them.

The weather recently have been quite cold windy and cloudy and it was raining several days ago. Yesterday the weather was chilly and although I was dressing warm clothes and nothing was going to go wrong I managed somehow to catch cold. So now I have to cure myself and keep going to the University, my illness isn't an excuse for staying at home (unfortunately) Even so, I hope there will be more snowy days because it snowed only two times this winter as I remember. And of course I hope I'll get over soon.
