На этой неделе текст «Молодец» посвящен автомобильной культуре США и Route 66». Но я подумал, что мы могли бы поговорить о чем-то другом в рамках этой темы. ...Мотоциклы!

Another part 2 topic for the Summer. I also have part 3 example answers on my website.


“Well, as I live in a very busy city, I sometimes really need to escape the noise, and crowds, as well as finding a place where I can just chill out and relax in peace.  My favourite place to go is a small cafe which is about 3 kilometres from my home, and only takes me about 10 minutes to get to on my motorbike. The cafe is located in the suburbs on an extremely beautiful lake, surrounded by many different kinds of trees, and is a world apart from the busy city centre.

 

I try to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week, and usually bring my laptop with me, as I find I can be very productive in this peaceful environment, and get lots of work done, in a short space of time. I love being able to sit at a quiet table outside on a perfect sunny day, with the many trees to shade me from the hot sun. I’m also able to sit right on the bank of the lake, with a view which is out of this world.

 

I guess the main reason I love to go to this place is because it’s just so quiet and peaceful, and I can get away from all the noise, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which sometimes drives me crazy. Another reason I like to go to this place is that I find the tranquil environment really, both inspires and motivates me in my work….. And I’m able to be much more productive than I would be if sitting in a noisy office or a busy city centre coffee shop. So…yea, this is a quiet place i love to go to.

Episode 3: Who are my students and what they come to me for

Many thought Collins had ended the series after the 2010 publication of Mockingjay — she even wrote in 2015 that it was "time to move on to other lands."

But four years later, she surprised readers and the publishing world when she announced she was working on what became The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, released in 2020 and set 64 years before the first book.

Collins used parts of Greek mythology and the Roman gladiator games for her earlier Hunger Games books.

But for the new book, she said she was inspired by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, and what he described as "the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

She added that the book will also look at the use of propaganda and "the power of those who control the narrative."

The film version of Songbirds and Snakes, starring Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler, came out last year. This fall, a Hunger Games play is set to open in London.
