Participant and participator - what's the difference?

"What helps you get rid of stress? / Can you offer a new way of relaxation?" (fragment) People do not use special words as “relaxation techniques” however they are aware of plenty of ways to relax. I am not so different from other people in Russia at all. Active leisure is a lifestyle trend and texting with friends, hanging out in a company are common too. Here we can add watching TV or something on Youtube – it depends on age groups. Meditation has a tendency to be more popular among Russians. I never thought about why we have these relaxation practices but I guess that all of us regardless of countries have similar approaches to relaxing – we can just have different quality of it.

What's the difference btw "free" and "free of charge"?

Is there any mistake in the sentence? (I think about typo) "Make sure the program or tutor you us doesn’t promise 100 percent progress in eliminating your accent.

Does Russian sounds nice? It's okey if not:) Does Russian sound nice? It's okey if not:)

What Youtube videos do you watch to learn Russian?

Prepare your 3-minute speech about how to get a job Now I’m talking about actual and popular topic at all times. That much concernes are connected with it! From childhood we dream about our occupation, later we plan some moments in getting a job but only when we apply for a job we understand all factors, difficulties and surprises. So, when we talk about getting new job, I suppose that attempts are the crucial moment. We should act and try different opportunities: be sure, drops of water can pierce rocks! At the same time under attempts I also mean preparation to them: repeating and remembering the important information, even learning something new (for ex, a friend of mine read books appropriate to every job interview and questions on it), going through different courses that make you more competitive, constant working on your image as a desirable candidate who has ideal resume, appearance, recommendations. Looking through job options, pay attention to social media because today much information is reproduced there. More over, it can be useful to ask your friends in a social network about job – why not? Don’t forget about LinkedIn despite the fact that in Russia this site was blocked – quite many companies and candidates still use it. Attending job fairs, the labour exchanges are excellent as well. Why do we not use such simple ways of getting job? You never know where help is going to come from until you look for it using many resourses. Keep in mind that job description is a description of work and potential employee at the same time. That’s why we should be very attentive reading it. Mainly according to a description we represent ourselves at the job interview. However it’s better to ask some additional information before a job interview and make research about firm. Before we talked about employees, but I’m about to be an employer and in this position I want to find competent and responsible people, who will be honest with me. It will be choice based on my subjective attitude and objective characteristics of candidates. And in this process I will get feedback about candidates from other people and test them for some time to be sure of my decision. In conclusion, I want to say that there are many opportunities to get a job and there is a place for everyone. Because of that I suppose we shouldn’t use the argument about difficulties of finding job – just do your search and you get your work! Yes, so positively!

Does smartphone make people more or less productive? I am sure that smartphones do make people less effective. There are a lot of self-help books with negative opinions about using telephones too much. They say that all times when we are distracted by our gadgets we can not be fully focused on our work. The same happens with me: I lose ideas and I am not able to do my work with fast pace if I get notifications on my phone. Mobile telephones are a big entertainment because they give us easy access to the Internet, social media and messengers which are so attractive! There are no more engaging activity when serfing in the Internet, looking at the beautiful pictures and communication with friends. Certainly, it is very hard for sometimes boring and routine working tasks to compete with that “toys” which were constructed to distract us as much as possible. In conclusion I want to say that I strongly agree with the statement about harmful influence of smartphones on our productivity. It is true evil.

got used to/get used to For ex., I like drinking coffee. When I talk about it, I can add: I got used to drinking coffee or I get used to drinking coffee. Is there any difference in the meaning "I got used to" and "I get used to" in this context? Can "I got used to" and "I get used to" mean the same in some context even when the tenses are different?
