New Year in Russia These are the last days of October so in two months we'll be celebrating New Year. This is probably one of two or three the main holidays here, in Russia. I'll try to uncover what it's like to be a Russian as the New Year holiday is going on. The first thing I should mention is the duration of it. A schedule approved by the government sets 9 days as the holiday - from the 31st of December till the 8th of January. Thus, the majority of ordinary people, for example, people who have 5/2 shift schedule, can make plans up according to their wishes. However, nearly all Russians prefer putting in this time with relatives, especially those who they haven't met with for a long time. The last day of the year makes probably into the most "cooking" day of the year. Since an owner of a chosen home (it's frequently a parent's home) waits for many guests, she/he (or they) starts making dishes from the exact beginning of the day. There are special dishes on our tables which all families in Russia make for this occasion. Sorry, but it's hard to explain for me as my vocabulary there is poor. At 22.00 December 31st, people are gathered around the festive table. They eat and speak to each other exchanging things that have happened to them this year. The culmination is showing on TV the exceptional (for Russians) clock, hanging on the Kremlin, and at the time of year changing, people have a glass of champagne and make wishes. The next days are for popping into friends and playing different games in the streets which covered snow.

Terms of construction I'd like to get some practice in speaking on construction in English. Is there anyone who has some time and is interested in having a conversation? I graduated from university 6 years ago. It was a technical one where there were many divisions in order to get different occupations. Construction was my field of studying. All course took me 6 years. From the second grade of the university, I've been working but it wasn't a job in a single area. For instance, I've got experience in checking the quality of materials in a laboratory, designing blueprints and running projects. If there is someone who would like to discuss any topics in construction, we can find convenient time for both of us. However, I should admit that my vocabulary in terms of construction isn't good. My consideration related to this is only positive because explaining something in different words allows developing speaking skills way better. Hope, it's possible to solve that question!

Practicing of English My experience of learning English is both big enough and small. At first sight, it might seem a bit strange but there is an explanation. The overwhelming majority of Russian pupils have lessons of English during schooltime. In my case, it started in the 5 grade and I kept "learning" English for 6 years. What did I know after leaving school? Fairly nothing, except for gramma for Present Simple. The next step was attending lectures of English at the university. This part of "fascinating" immersing into the world of English was also without results. At this point, a question might emerge - how come things, I described, happened to me. After some time I can confess myself to not paying enough attention to the subject. Probably, a part of the blame is on my teachers at the beginning of my way. They didn't do my classmates and me any favor so as to show how big the English speaking world is. Being graduated, I forgot about English for some time until one day I should have gone to another country for a business trip. Since linking more than two words for my brain was an impossible task, I was fully ashamed, surrounded by colleagues who could speak. Returning home, I embarked on studying English three times a week with a teacher and I've been devoting the rest of my time to doing something single-handedly. Like this, I've been keeping studying for 2 years. My two biggest own insides from this time are (they are commonplace): you must have a desire to learn something find a teacher who you like spending time with

Romanow-Holstein-Gottorp After today, I don't think my life will be the same. Surfing through the internet, I have been recommended by YouTube a video about Russian history from the 18 century till the beginning of the 20 century. There was said that all Russians emperors (Russia was an empire then) were ethnic Germans during that period. To be absolutely clear - each member of the imperial family from this point of time had both German mother and German father. My first thought was it couldn't be the truth! Of course, I remembered something from the history school lessons namely Russia had foreigners on the throne... but not all of them. Most of the time nowadays we go to Wikipedia for checking information. So did I. I looked through pages of every emperor and was amazed. The information I came across was fully true. However, this isn't the only information that shocked me. In short, Britain's queen also has strong German roots and nearly all monarchs of big countries were relatives. I was reading these fascinating entries for about 2 or 3 hours and that time really changed me.

Development Hello, everyone! How often do you change a place of work? I haven't studied why people usually change work but I understood my own reasons. First of all, I cannot work in such companies where I don't have any development. Working only for money isn't my choise. I have a need to get new skills. The next thing is a continuation of previous part. I like when my calleagues try to develop their varied traits. So, I can learn something from their. Finally, an atmospher in a collective have to be well for creating. I hope you enjoy your work. Thanks!

Unhealthy meal Hello, everybody! How many times a week do you eat junk food? What do you prefer eating if you have little time? Actually, it's a big problem for me. I cannot have any time for cooking during a week so I should think about my meal every time. When you live in such way you prefer a meal that doesn't take a lot of time. Unfortunately, such meal is rather unhealthy. Every time when I eat this food I don't like myself. I think it can influence to an energy of a body and a work of a mind. I realize I should cut down on fat and now I'm looking for an appropriate diet I can follow. It's not about strict restrictions, it's about right products at the right time.

Driving Hello! I cannot understand how people used to drive when there wasn't a satnav. Moscow is a huge city. According to official statistic, there are about 13 mln inhabitants here. I can assume that there are about 6 mln cars in Moscow. If you need to drive somewhere you cannot trust in yourself only. There can be closed roads, big traffic jams etc. You should get more information till driving. Also, a situation can change during your route. Luckily, we have some satnav. We turn on an app in our smartphones and get all the information we need. How did people drive 10 years ago? Sometimes I think about it and my head's hair moves.

What's going on Hello, everyone! I don't know any kind of work where people don't have any stress. We have to do a lot of things that we don't like. I can be not right and it's only about my environment. Unfortunately, we created this system of life ourselves. Humans invented a system of banks, governments, education etc. People invented space satellites, mobile phones, cars etc. However, how many people are happy? In my opinion, if we'll compare a percentage of happy people in our time to percentage of happy people who lived 5000 years ago we'll realize one simple thing - our system is wrong because people have less hope on happiness than earlier. We really created a world for a minority. There won't be changes in the future.

Living place Hello! I just want to describe my neighborhood. I live in the east borough of Moscow and my neighborhood has the name "Perovo". There is a metro station with the same name and I live nearby it. Most of the buildings in my neighborhood have five stories. In Russia, we call them "Khrushchevki" because they were built when Khrushchev managed our country. A lot of buildings for living were built then. There are some beautiful parks. I like riding a bicycle there. Do you want to know their names? Ok, the first park is Terletskiy, the second one is Izmailovskiy and the last one is Kuskovo. By the way, Izmailovo and Kuskovo are places where lived some Russian establishment (it was when there was a tsar). I like living here because there are a lot of treas and there aren't so many cars. I might tell you more information next time. That's all by this time. Thaks!

Why do we buy Hello, everyone! I'm reading a book now (it isn't in English). This book's about marketing and I'll try to tell you one point. When we buy something we usually don't realize why we choose exactly this thing. Yes, we think that we know but, unfortunately, it's not true. Most of the time, our subconscious decides that we will buy. After that, we prove to ourselves that we are right. There are a lot of products in the worldwide market. There is a huge competition within a range of the same products. These products have very similar peculiarities. Ok, why do we buy exactly that? Some products surround themselves with more interesting information than other. People call it a "brand". The brand has one invisible strength - it can influence people without their permission. The brand affect subconscious.
