  It was very interesting and productive course of academic writing that my groupmates and me had in the second semester. During this semester we have learnt different things that were useful for writing well-developed essays, reports and reviews. We tried to use as many writing techiques as we could.     Also, we used many sources, one of my favorite was the Guardian magazine which contais lots of articles on different topics from politics and economic to culture and lifestyle.

I hope that I'll continue writing practice and it'll bring me good results.
