Меня зовут Люк. Я австралиец. Я студент филологического факультета в Мельбурне. 3 месяца я живу в Москве и изучаю русский язык в МГУ. В Австралии на завтрак я ем яйцо, батон с сыром, круассан с вареньем. Потом я пью кофе с молоком. В Москве я живу в квартире с русской семьёй. Это прекрасная семья - муж, жена, дочь и сын. Утро. Завтрак. Мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не люблю творог со сметаной, но все едят и я ем. Четыре дня мы едим творог со сметаной. Я не могу смотреть на творог со сметаной! 
Суббота. Я очень рад, что на завтрак мы едим сосиски. Воскресенье. Завтрак. Вы не поверите, что мы едим. Суп с рыбой! В Австралии никто не ест суп утром и никто не ест рыбу утром, а я ем ... А в понедельник на завтрак мы едим борщ. Без сметаны, борщ красный, а со сметаной борщ розовый, как платье Барби. 
Все едят борщ, и я ем борщ. 
И почему русский завтрак такой загадочный?

Are you focusing all your energy on mastering conversational fluency while leaving grammar or writing in the dust? Sure, it’s tempting to specialize, but here’s the hard truth: putting all your focus on just one element of language learning is risky. Imagine dedicating all your time to conversation, only to wake up one day and realize you’re bored with it. Where does that leave your progress? It’s like betting all your money on one volatile stock—it might pay off, but it’s just as likely to lead to burnout. Research shows that our brains crave variety to stay sharp and engaged (Goldberg, 2001). So why risk stagnation when you can diversify your skills?
