Hi, David! My name is Maria, I am a NES student and now I'm writing this blog for you. According to your assignment, in first post I should introduce myself, but, to be honest, I don't know what to say.
I was born in Moscow, but now I live in Korolev, not big town in Moscow region. Maybe you know, who is Korolev, but if you don't, I remind you that he was the man who built a first spaceship. Today there is a space control center in my town. The population of Korolev is about 250.000 and i find my town quiet green, clean and pretty.
The last four years I was studied in the lyceum with science and engineering profile, and i liked it. I'm not really keen on physics and math, but there weren't many difficult homework and classwork. Also I had many friends there and we've enjoyed studying process together. So it was quiet funny.
In childhood I have been engaged in ballroom dancing for 9 years, but in age of 13 for some reasons I decided to quit.
So, I think I wrote enough about myself, and now about my expectations from this class. I have been studied English since I was 6, but I don't know it well. So firstly I'd like to improve my grammar and reading skills. Despite that I think all parts of English course will be very useful for me.
I think it's all for today, meet you in class!
Great first post, Maria! You wrote a lot even though you said you didn't know what to say!
ОтветитьУдалитьI have to admit that I'm not familiar with Korolev, but I am intersted in space-related stuff. I now live near the Cosmonautics Museum in Moscow, and I'm looking forward to going there soon. In the U.S. school system, we mainly heard about the U.S. side of "the space race," so it will be interesting to learn more about Russian space exploration.
I hope that this class can help you improve your grammar and reading skills. We won't really focus on grammar that much, but you're always welcome to ask me grammar questions. I've taught grammar as an isolated course for many years and actually enjoy talking about it!
One more thing -- I forgot to mention before that you should write this blog for everyone in the class. Your audience is a little bigger than just me!
