Hi! My name is Nastya. I really want to go to St. Petersburg because in this northern Russian city there are many beautiful monuments. But now I want to tell you about one of them. This is the Hermitage. It’s one of the world-wide known museums. You can see a lot of fantastic pictures and sculptures from different places of the planet. I think that the most beautiful is the Hall of Leonardo da Vinci. The hall is decorated in the style of 17 century French Baroque. The Hermitage possesses two masterpieces of Leonardo. The Rembrandt collection is one of the most treasured possessions of the museum.

A question from a football fan

Hi my name is Max. I would like to ask you about football in your country. The first. What is the most powerful and famous club? The second. Has your country ever been to World football cup? The third. What Russian teams do you know?

2011-03-17T12:44:00.002+03:00

Hi my name is Sasha. I want to tell you about my favourite sport - sambo. Sambo is a very popular martial art in Russia. The word "SAMBO" is an acronym for SAMooborona Bez Oruzhiya, which literally translates as "self-defense without weapons". In 16 November 1938, it was recognized as an official sport by the USSR All-Union Sports Committee. Intended to be a merger of the most effective techniques of other martial arts, Sambo has roots in Japanese judo and Karate. The founders of Sambo were Viktor Spiridonov, Anatoly Kharlampiev and Vasili Oshchepkov. It also popular in other countries. The world sambo championship is held every year.

Travelling dreams....

The country of my dream!

2010-12-07T14:29:00.003+03:00

Hi! My name is Yana. I have a dream. I want to visitl to New Zealand, because my dream is the bungy jump. Commercial bungee jumping began with the New Zealander, A J Hackett, who made his first jump from Auckland's Greenhithe Bridge in 1986. During the following years Hackett performed a number of jumps from bridges and other structures (including the Eiffel Tower). I’d like to visit Auckland. It is the largest city in New Zealand. Famous sights include Mt Eden, one of many large, volcanic hills, as well as the Auckland Harbour Bridge. I think all these things look fantastic!

Travelling experience

2010-12-07T13:02:00.002+03:00

Hi! My name is Julie.I am fond of traveling and I’d like to tell you about it. My favorite country I have ever been is Cyprus. I was there 2 years ago. I was in Ayia Napa. Ayia Napa is not a capital of Cyprus, but I think it is popular too. There is fantastic nature and great number of places to see. But most of all I like sea. I think it’s wonderful. It’s so blue and transparent. You can see bottom even if you swim. I was in Egypt, Turkey, but, I’ve never seen the sea like that. Have you ever been to Cyprus? What country would you like to visit?

My hot summer

2010-10-22T12:37:00.002+04:00

Hi! My name is Jana. I want to tell you about my summer. In the end of July there was a great fire in Ryazan region. It was hard to breathe, because of the smoke. The weather was very hot. There wasn’t any rain at all. I think the main reasons are the weather and people’s carelessness. My family and I helped to put the fire out.

The Burning Summer of 2010

2010-10-21T10:12:00.003+04:00

Hello, friends!
My name is Julie. I'd like to tell you about our difficult summer, because there were a lot of forest fires. At this time I was in the village near Ryazan. It was near the river and we didn't feel bad, but when we came back to the city, we couldn't breathe normally. We had to wear wet kerchiefs or respirstors (even at home). It was very smoky in the city (like in the bad movie) and we couldn't get out of the house. By the way, my friends were in the summer camp. When it started, they were very afraid and didn't sleep all night. But on the next day they came home.
I think the main reasons are people's carelessness. Sometimes we forget about our safety.

Truly yours, Julie.
