C'est moi Bonjours, c'est moi. Je m'appelle Maya, je suis russe. J'habite à Tioumen, c'est une belle ville en Russie. J'attend le français parce que je veux parle à beaucoup gens de France.

Today This morning began with my Math and Russian classes. We attend them in order to prepare for our future exams. I have no idea why, but it was too cold in school!!! We all were sitting in our coats why studying so our teacher looked at us and laughed. After that my parents and I went shopping. Frankly speaking, I was going to buy a new dress and new shoes. But I found NOTHING at the shops, I was so disappointed! Well, I even started crying. Although my dad was tired, he couldn't see me crying and that's why he let me go to another shop. When I came there, I tried on about 10 or 12 dresses! Finally, I chose the best one. So, this evening I'm a happy girl with a new lovely dress!

The Internet Is the Internet useful? There are so many opinions on this topic. Every year in schol we write an essay about it... So, does the Internet technology really help you?

Russia Hi, my name is Maya. I live in Russia, it's my motherland. I always wonder why Russia is thought to be a dark place, covered with snow and where tiny wooden houses come across. There is an opinion that every russian man has a bear in his house, but there isn't any reason for such a silly opinion! Russia is a fantastic country, where great people live. Do you know Pushkin, Mendeleev, Lermontov? They are all russian. Many cities in my country have an amazing architecture style and historical sights. As everyone knows, Russia is the biggest country in the world. Though it isn't so developed as the USK is, but it's developing! All in all, I love my country. And what do you think of your motherland?

What is the weather like? I live in Russia, so temperature in winters here is low, in summer is high. And what is the weather like in your places?
