Dear students,

So today you have to choose between these 2 options:


Option 1: Write about a career-related website 

- provide the link
- describe the website (sections, features,etc)
- say how often you visit the site
- explain why you like the site.

OR

Option 2: Who is a person/expert on your field 
Say:

-Who she/he is. (short biography)
-What she/he has done. (examples of their work)
-Why you like her/him.
-Include his/her image

Well to be honest it was not easy for me to start writing this blog. I was not sure about which topic I should choose.
At the end I have decided to talk about an expert on my field.

Well to be honest it was not easy for me to start writing this blog.
I was not sure about which topic I should choose.
At the end I have decided to write about an expert on my field. I remember that when I started studying I did not know what subjects I would have. One of them caught my attention immediately. That subject was phonetics and phonology. I had 3 semester of this subject and it was not easy but on my first year the teacher asked us to work with this really nice book, its name is phonetics and phonology, it was written by Peter Roach.
Peter Roach is a british phonetician, he was born in 30 June 1943. He is a graduate of Psychology and Philosophy, after that he studied at Manchester University where he studied teaching English overseas. Then he decided to start his postgraduate studies, the course he took was Phonetics. He also completed a PhD.He retired in 2004.
I really like his book because it helped me a lot when I was a student. I still use it sometimes. When I was a student it was hard to understand the different chapters but now that I read it well it isn’t easy but it isn’t as hard as it used to be.

This is Peter Roach


This is the book that I use, but now there is a fourth edition.
