Center for Academic Writing “Impulse”
Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Writing is thinking on paper.
When writing about science, don't simplify the science; simplify the writing.
Writing is a lot easier if you have something to say.
The reason one writes isn't the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.
Good writing is clear thinking made visible.
A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.
Only the educated are free.
One`s work may be finished someday, but one`s education never.
What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

I have long known Valeria Evdash and Nadezhda Zhuravleva – as professional teachers, enthusiastic in their work. So when I heard about the opening of the Center for Academic Writing ‘Impulse’ (CAWI), I immediately applied for all workshops and a course «English for Publishing». I cannot say that learning was easy, but it was very interesting, as a minimum, and – as a maximum – very useful.Attending workshops helps to improve the competence not only in English but also in scientific writing in total due to the general guidelines for the preparation of scientific papers. A lot of things about English writing became clearly. I believe that the establishment of the Center is a very good idea. It is a pity that we have not had such a center before. I wish efficient work to tutors and all participants!
