Russia. At the mention of this word all the most important, the most beautiful, the most dear to my heart rises before my eyes: beautiful nature, original cities - pearls and, of course, people - our pride, people whose deeds and feats glorified Russia, lifted it closer to the sky, closer to God, closer to everything most wonderful and bright. From the places associated with them, breathes kindness, cordiality, spirituality, something truly Russian. And sometimes there is an irresistible desire to see our family, unique beauty, to come into contact with the lubyan log Russia, with its great past. Traveling in Russia, traveling in time. The superposition of epochs is very close, and each epoch fascinates and beckons with something. Being in a single city, you can simultaneously be in the modern world, and in the times of Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the terrible, Peter the Great. And so all seen in our country can not leave a mark in the shower, especially in Russian. Journey to Russia a memorable one. I want to share what overwhelms me, namely, pride in our mighty and great Homeland, even though it is gone.

1. Yes, I'm an exchange student. I have been studying in Britain since 2014.
2. Before I have arrived in Britain, I have been practising by listening to BBC programmes, watching films in English and other. At first I couldn't understand everything and I just got a general idea of what the programmes were about. After louds of information in English I could easily understand everything.
3. Yes, I did. I was really interested in listening to these programmes.
4. Yes, there is a TV-show 'House-2'. I think it is the worst TV-show ever. I really don't like it because, firstly, it isn't interesting, secondly, its idea is old and it stopped being topical more years ago; moreover it has no sense.
5. Thank you very much for an interview, I hope we'll meet again.
<span>At last our spring holidays came! I was very happy! <span> </span><span> </span>I didn't have <span> </span>to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do.</span>
<span>The weather was fine so my friends and I went for a walk almost every day. It was fun!</span>
<span>Then I spent a few days in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me.</span>
<span>I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We walked and played different games.
</span>
<span>But the holidays were over and I returned to the city again.<span> </span>I liked my holidays very much.</span>
<span>Next spring my family and I are going to fly to Paris and I'm very happy.</span>
<span>I like my summer holidays best of all because they are the longest holidays in a year.</span>
