JAC3 under review

JAC3 has been one of a few courses that I really looked forward to this semester. Given that I've always considered JAC the most difficult and hardest subject to pass, it is surprising how much I enjoyed it! For this I have Mr. Vít to thank. I do not really have much to criticize about his part of the course since his classes are both interesting and fun and on the other hand educational and requiring self-study.
The only thing that comes to my mind is the textbook we've been using. For some reason I cannot see what is so great about it that makes it the main source for our studies. It think there are many other much better textbooks out there that could be used instead of Objective. Of course I realize this is something that is not fully up to the teacher to decide and one student's opinion cannot outweigh others' but.. e.g. in my opinion Destination is a much better textbook in terms of grammar, vocabulary and helpful exercises.
What I like the best about Mr. Vít teaching style is that it never gets boring. Even though there is a lot grammar stuff that nobody likes to learn, he managed to make it interesting and truly encouraged us to try harder and somehow radiated the right teaching spirit:)

English party.. sorf of

I was at my very first English party. Well.. it was not as much of a party as it was a get-together with a friend of mine for a coffee. However, we were planning on having this "party" with other friends but they did not show up at school at the day the date was set and since we both commute to school from quite far we decided to have a party without them.
As it said, we went for a coffee. For those who don't know, the whole point of having a English party is to have a conversation with your friends in English. So, we did spend the whole time together speaking English with each other in order to improve and hone our speaking skills and train our critical thinking. To achieve that, not only did we have a small talk and gossip as we usually do (jk haha) but we tried having a serious discussion about current events, problems and other serious stuff that we usually don't have a chance to talk about.
Surprisingly, that turned out to be even more fun than we could have hoped for! Even though in most cases we did not agree with each other and people sitting at the tables around us must have thought that we were fighting, we pointed out some really interested facts and exchanged ideas so I think it was a real asset to my English skills.
After a while of sitting and sipping coffee we both forgot that were speaking other than our mother tongue and it just felt natural ever since. I am so going to bring this up next time I see my friends and hopefully we will do it again sometime soon!

Mini-saga: Don't do drugs

"Hey, you know what? Let me have a puff!"

"Are sure you can handle it?"

"What do you take me for?! I've smoked tons of weed before!"

"I don't know man..."

"Oh, common!"

"You took a puff an hour ago and we've already had this conversation ten times in a row."

"Hey, let me have a puff!"
