We present short and elementary proofs of the following two known theorems in General Topology: (i) [H. Wicke and J. Worrell] A $T_1$ weakly $\delta \theta $-refinable countably compact space is compact. (ii) [A. Ostaszewski] A compact Hausdorff space which is a countable union of metrizable spaces is sequential.
