What's going on in this world? I feel deep sorrow about all these horrible events happened in the world recently. I will never understand the reason of all this endless terror. But I do believe that we have a power to resist the evil. As it is all inside us. We must change ourselves and our attitude to life. Must be kind and patient. Support those who really need our help. People, be honest with yourselves and act as HUMANS.

Bilingual people I'm interested in this topic and want to know more about bilingual people. Do you know anybody who speaks 2 languages by birth? May be you is a bilingual person yourself, if so, tell me, in what language do you usually think and speak? I know that there are people who were born in a family with parents belonging to different cultures. So, these children start speaking 2 languages automatically. I wish my future child could speak both Russian and English and I know some women in Russia who know English perfect and they developed a special education programme to bring up their children as bilingual persons. But isn't it a bit risky, in case if your child finally mixes 2 languages and starts speraking his/her own variant or stops speaking at all? In other cases, people who leave their motherland being little children can also start speaking the 2nd language fluently, as native speakers. My friend left Russia for Canada when she was about 9-10 years old. But she comes back for every summer holidays. So She speaks engl. in perfectly and she still speaks rus. but when she arrives she has an awful english accent and all the intonations are wrong in russian,(suppose I sound the same rediculous when I speak english with russian intonation) so we always laugh at her) But she adapts in a few weeks and her speech becomes quite OK.

autumn in Russia Adore russian autumn, to be more particular -the beginning of it. Recent days a pretty warm, about 18-25 degrees above 0! It is clear and sunny. All trees turn out to be golden. The abundance of colors makes me feel joy and happiness- bright blue sky, golden sun and leaves, red, green, yellow plants look amazing! And all this even better, when you stop suddenly right in the street and look at all this beauty. And you stop feeling the time. You just stand here in the street, admiring the surrounding world. The place where you've been living all your life changes suddenly and it seems that you're abroad, somewhere in the wonderland) And what does the autumn in your country look like?

Famous people Hey, does anybody know any russian artists,actors or singers or other famous russian people?) If yes, what do you think about them,
