Semester task: for and against essay.

Last week,  Alabama governor - Kay Ivy - signed a law that was passed by local legislature which would completely ban any abortion on the state, except the cases when it is necessary to save the mother's life. Abortion would be prohibited even if the pregnancy occurred in the case of rape or incest. Doctors who break the law would be sentenced to 99 years of prison. At the same time, women who break the law will not be prosecuted. The law is planned to come into force in six months. Democratic leaders reacted with outrage, and pledged to fight for abortion rights. The signing of this law can be considered both positively and negatively.
First of all, abortion is immoral and cheapens the value of human life. Everyone has his or her right to  life. Abortion is the murder of an unborn child. The legalization of abortion promotes murder and gives irresponsible people an opportunity to kill a human life. 
Moreover, abortions can actually cause women mental and physical health issues. Having an abortion today may cause certain complications which make it difficult to have a baby tomorrow. 
However, the abortion ban can have many negative consequences. Firstly, in case the new law of Alabama comes into force, women will have to resort to extreme means, such as unsafe abortions. The burden of so-called unnecessary deaths will lay on poor women, mostly African - American ones, while the maternal mortality rate in Alabama is already one of the highest in the United States. Besides, the state will increase the level of child mortality which is already high. Poor women will be forced to rely on a poorly performed abortions that put their lives in danger. 
The professor of The University of New York at Buffalo - Eli Gretchen - a specialist in social affairs and reproductive health, called the new law an attack on the rights of American women and transgender people who can also get pregnant. "This will mean that they will have only the following choices - to have unwanted pregnancies and children, to attempt illegal or unsafe abortions in their places of residence, or to try to get special drugs to perform abortions at home without medical supervision.  There is a convincing scientific picture showing that restricting abortion does not reduce the number of it, but increases the rick of unsafe, self-performed abortions," she concluded.  
In addition, abortion ban deprives women of the right and freedom of choice. 
To sum up, in the US, the question of whether abortion should be allowed is politically motivated, opponents and supporters of abortion are campaigning powerfully in society, and politicians ' positions on the issue seriously affect their prospects for election. Any law can have both positive and negative influence on society, but it should not limit human rights and limits.

    Content: it is rather well-developed in the second half of your essay. However, in the first half the paragraphs are too short and need further development.
    Organisation: is clear and logical BUT the last body paragraph needs further development because it is just one sentence
    The thesis statement: not specific enough
    Mechanics:

Trapped in a lift

Together with Azia Mamatova we write this story ____________ It was a hot day of 12 of July. People did not know where to hide from the heat in the stuffy city.  It was ordinary Monday. The day when all the clerks are getting ready to start a new working week.  And they were no exception… The young girl was heading for the lift, late for her workplace in the office. She pressed nervously   the elevator button, but it did not come. She heard footsteps behind her and saw a man’s hand approaching the button. She shot an irritated look at the man behind her back. It was him. Her boss. ‘Hello, Mr…’ she said   perplexedly. ‘Good morning, Christine!’ he answered mockingly glancing at his wrist watch. There was the sound and the doors of elevator opened. They went into the elevator. Christine started to tuck her hair behind her ears nervously. She was constantly looking at the changing numbers of floors passing by.   When suddenly the elevator stopped abru...

Semester Task: A reflection note

This semester was very productive and useful for me as it helped me to improve my writing skills.  During this semester we have worked hard learning different aspects and types of writing which were important for development of essays, reports and reviews on various articles.  Also, I was very glad that we had an opportunity to work with such resource as “Guardian” which is filled with thousand of articles with up to date news giving a good food for thought. Reading these articles helped me to be aware of the current political, cultural and social situation. It was very helpful for improving my reading and comprehension skills as well.   However, the part which, unfortunately, became a disappointment for me was the platform that was chosen to work on. “Blogger” did not provide us with necessary service; sometimes my essays and reviews were erased without the possibility to restore them. Next semester, I would like to learn more ways how to improve my writin...
