I have finished my university! Hello, dear friends! I have finished my university! I got excellent mark and special commendation from department! I'm happy because some famous artist said me that I will have big future in theater! Now i'm finishing my deals in Moscow and going to have rest in Cambodia for 2 weeks! Thank you for everyboby, who seconded me! ;)

May God grant eternal rest in peace for victims of that frightening time. Today is the 75th anniversary of the death of my great-grandfather Alimov Nuri. He was the rector of Tashkent State University, author of many books about Russian, Uzbek and forsi languages, before he was killed by Stalin. May God grant eternal rest in peace for victims of that frightening time.

Statement on the reason for applying and what I expect from participation Statement on the reason for applying and what I expect from participation in a course at the Summer Academy. I am a student of the Moscow Art Theatre School. Our Institute provides a very comprehensive knowledge of the fine arts and the new theater technology. But I think that I can not get there sufficient knowledge and experience on subjects that interest me: contemporary art, the use of new technologies, not only in performing arts, but also in the fine arts. First, to create your original work of art, one must be familiar with what has been done before and your colleagues are doing around, have a good knowledge of modern art capabilities to successfully apply them in my own work. I actively study English, get in touch with my peers from different countries, I think that training in the Summer Academy will help me to become better acquainted with talented young guys from around the world to communicate, share knowledge and, perhaps, joint artistic projects. In addition, I am interested in culture of Austria, in particular, of Salzburg, as the ancient center of culture. Education in the Summer Academy will give me an opportunity to increase their knowledge not only in the fine arts, but also in music (I'm very interested in the International Music Festival in Salzburg, which takes place in July and August), in the history of theater, as well as studying the history and culture of Austria as a whole. Also, I hope that the training at the Academy will help me in choosing a university for continue education after I graduate studies in the Moscow Art Theatre School this summer. I work in the theater, for the last three years I carried the play in Russian theaters. But I would like to implement not only in the theater, but in the fine arts. I think that the knowledge gained at the Academy will give me the opportunity to express myself in a new way. I hope to be accepted in the Summer Academy and make maximum diligence to explore all the knowledge and skills that will be offered by the teachers of the Academy. Yours sincerely, Alina Alimova

How much time do you need to beccome perfect in English?(or another language) How much time do you need to become perfect in English?(or another language) I learn English whole my life. When I was a child, I had been visiting a kindergarden, I started learning English. It was a simple English. When I was young, I had been studying at school,and I had been learning English. It had been becoming harder and harder. When I was 13, I started to learn English with special teacher. When I was 15, I abandoned lessons with the teacher. When I became older, I was studying in university (how to say I'am stadying there till present), and I also had been having English lessons for 1 year. When I was 22, I desided, it was time to learn English seriosly. And I started English cources. School, which I use to study in, has 15 levels, and when you get started, you should past an exam to determine your level. I was at the forth level, now I'm on the seventh. And during my study in that school, I do and do exercises, learn a lot of new words becides my homeworks. But I can't understand, when I'll become perfect. What about you?

Chicken! Again!! First of all I want notify that I desided to use as many phrasal verbs, as possible. If there is something wrong, please correct me using phrasal verbs. My father is a farmer. He has about 300 hectares of land near whe Vladimir town, it's about 280 km from Moscow. And he has also a small farm near Moscow - about 10 km. Now he uses only the small farm for breeding different fowls, such as chickens, turkeys, quails, guses, ducks. So he thinks that we should eat only his products, because they are very tasty and healthy. And there are a lot of these fowls and their eggs in our refrigerator. And he use to cook only them. I like chicken and I like eggs, but I can't eat them every day, I want meet and fish! I don't know how to explain him that it's imposible for me. There is an inverse problem in my husbands family. They use to eat only baked meat or cutlets. And if I stay there for a long time, I couldn"t eat this food every day. I know it's very funny situation, so I and my husband want to buy our own flat to eat that foot, which we like. :) And of course to do what we want :)) I didn't use here any phrasal verb, it's a pity.

The spy from Cambodia at my home. I came from Cambodia about month ago.I brought some fruits from there. When I arrived home, we had been sitting in the kitchen and eating these fruits, talking about Cambodia, and then went to bed. And we left them laing on the table. One of them was longkong, one of exotic fruits from South-East Asia. Next day my brother had been smoking in the kitchen, when he saw something. He ran into my room yelling "What did you bring!!" I came into the kitchen and saw a small scorpion waging his tale. He had been sitting whole the time from Cambdia to Moscow in the fruit longkong. I could never kill an animal, and so I desided to make a house to him. I took a frangle jar about 20 cantimeters diameter. I bought special substrate, put it onto the jar, then I found a snag, which I used for my turtles aquarium, when he was a child. And I put the scorpion into the jar by pincers. I bought some alive crickets and tried to give them to my scorpion, but he denied to eat them. Then I bought some floury worm, and he also denied. Then I bought small cockroachs, it was very hard to find small cockroachs, because my scorpion is very small, about 1,5-2 cantimeters and he needs small meal - half his body. And finally he started eating them! I was happy! My little scorpion is healthy. Now i bought only small cockroachs for him, and he eats them regulary. First I thought to give my scorpio into zoo, then I desided that if my life gave to me such present, so I should look after him.

What is it? Yestarday I posted photo on facebook, on which I am with a bog can of red caviar, I got a lot of "likes" from my russian friends, but I also got a question from my khmer from Cambodia. He asked, what that is. I didn't know, how to explain, what it means for russian people. I just answered "It's red caviar. A symbol of luxury in Soviet times." But first I commented my photo as "And the artists happen "good life". All russian people understood, what I meaned, but how to explain it to foreiners. I just try to narrate one story. My grandfather was railwayman. And his family moved with him around Russia, Kazakstan and Uzbekistan. One day he was given by his friends a big 3 liter's can of black caviar (it was and is more expensive and luxury caviar, even then red). They stealled it from one of goods car, it was normal - to take small part from goods car. :) And he with his family came to expensive restaurand and with joke ordered open sandwich with black caviar. When waiter brought them, my grandfather seen that on the bread were just a few grains of roe. He smiled and opened his can, took big spoon and put on the bread big heap of caviar. The waiter was shoked, but said nothing to them. This history shows, how the caviar was expensive and unavalable for ordinary people. And nowadays we can buy 200-300 gramms just for New Year table, or for Maslenitsa holidays. We eat caviar with pancakes. I hope that I could explain what is red caviar for russians :)
