Cornwall space mission: Satellites prepared for first UK orbital launch

Dear Russian language learners!

If you travel to big cities in Russia - Moscow, Saint Petersburg or my native hometown Ekaterinburg (by the way it's absolutely beautiful and clean) you will need to buy a ticket (or a token) to use it. When buying a metro ticket you will absolutely need to use Russian language. 
Piece of advice: check online what type of tickets exist at the moment, plan which one is best for you and go exploring!

La banlieue est trop souvent associée à la violence et à la drogue... Elle a pourtant bien d'autres visages : c'est la terre d'accueil des peintres du XIXème siècle, le terrain de jeu des amateurs de bière et le lieu de prédilection des randonneurs !

So, what exactly is a Mistake Book? It’s a notebook where you log your language mistakes using a structured approach. Each page is divided into three columns:
•	Column 1: The Mistake – Write down the mistake exactly as you made it, whether it’s in speaking, writing, or grammar.
•	Column 2: The Correction – This is where you write the correct version of the sentence or phrase.
•	Column 3: The Explanation – Briefly explain why it’s a mistake. Keep it concise—just enough to remind you of the rule or reason behind the correction.
For example, if you wrote “I have went to the store” instead of “I have gone to the store,” the explanation might be: "Use the past participle ‘gone’ instead of ‘went’.’"
