Good evening everyone!
It's really good for me, because I had very good weekends and even did my math homework in time!
I'd like to write about it in details, but there is an assignment to our seventh blog, so I should write about my progress in English class.
To be honest, I've never done my homework to English lessons in school, because I was studying in math lyceum and English was for us a lesson where we could relax, chat with friends and laugh. So, I don't know English very well, but, I think, I made a big progress since I've entered a university. Firstly, I want to mention that, in my opinion, it's really cool that David is American and can't speak Russian. At English lessons in school I find it a bit strange when all Russian people speak English, despite, it's easier for all to communicate in Russian. Of course, I understood that we should do it to improve our speaking skills and someday I would speak English with a foreigner. But when I didn't know how to explain something to my teacher in English, I always said it in Russian and there wasn't any problem.  when your teacher is American, you can't speak Russian because he wouldn't understood you, and he also can't explain you something in Russian, so it's quite a big stimulation to improve your speaking and listening skills. In addition, due to the Microsoft Word where I type my essays and David's comments my grammar and punctuation skills become better and now I don't make mistakes in every word, as it was at the beginning. Also, I've learnt how to write essays with right structure, and this skill even sometimes helps when I'm writing essays to economics class. Furthermore, David's lessons aren't boring in contrast with my school English lessons, where we mostly did some grammar exercises.
In conclusion I wanna say that I really like David's lessons and find it very useful for me. I hope, speak, write and read in English as easy as in Russian, so I' m going to continue work hard in this class.

Hi everyone!
I don't know what to write in blog today, so I decided to turn on my imagination and dream a little. I'm very tired now and I'm looking forward to the consultation week, when I'm planning to have some rest and go shopping, because, unfortunately, I haven't time on it during the semester. Despite, all my friends will be studying hard at that time I hope to meet them and spend some time together. But I don't want to go on crowded and noisy parties with them, because I'm really tired of it and, to tell the truth, I can't do there what I really want to. In addition, I will be very happy if the snow falls and the weather is a little frosty. I'm in fond of snowy winters since early childhood, maybe it's because I associate it with the New Year's fairy-tales, when all dreams come truth, but to be honest, with my wishes it's happening very seldom, so I think it's rather a coincidence, than magic. Also, I hope to watch some of my favorites films at our consultation week. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to do this all, because of big homework.
So, that's all for today.

Today I'm going to tell you about one strange case which happened to me about week ago.

As usual, I was going home from the train station with my friend. Our way comes through the school where we were studied less than 5 month ago, so we were talking about our coming there to the party apropos the Lyceum Day which will be at the October 19. For the moment I saw something little and green in the pavement. Later when I looked there with more attention I understood that it was the parrot. As you know it’s not normal for cold Russian climate and nature to have such birds, so we decided that the parrot had flown from someone’s flat through the window. However, no one was looking for it, so we started catch it. Soon two boys joined us and we were trying to catch a parrot together. One of boys had two parrots at home, so he agreed to take it into his home. But it flaw really good and one time the parrot flaw from us to balcony of the 2 floor. In case of that, all our attempts finished unsuccessfully and we were forced to go home without saved parrot. No one knows what happened with it later, but I sincerely hope it is alive and safe now.

Thanks for reading my blog,

Maria

Hi!

I don't know what to write today, so I decided to tell you about my graduation party. It's was really cool.
Firstly, I want say something about my expectation from it. From one side, I was looking forward to this event since I was in four's form, but from other - there were so many friends of mine, that when i was thinking that I would see them more seldom than twice a month, I can't even imagine how can it happen. Frequently, I thought that all my problems will be solved after leaving school and all my dreams will become true. But sometimes, it seems that all my easy and happy life will be finished after graduation party. Maybe you find that strange, but in 6 and 7 forms I considered it really will be so. Anyway, the time was going fast and graduation approaches.
Now, about graduation itself. It was at the end of June and the weather was quite warm. All boys from my class were in new elegant suites and all girls in pretty dressers. The party began with presentation certificates in which were wrote that we successfully ended the school. After that, we went to the monument to the soldiers killed in the Second World War and lay flowers on that and realized balloons. We did it, because in 22 June, 61 years ago began the first German attack to the USSR and many boys, who had graduation only a day before were forced to leave home and go to protect our country and all world. After our return to the lyceum, the disco started went on before 6 a.m. When it was ended I with my friends decided to go to the Sparrow Hills and continued our celebration there. So we were walking there all morning.
At all, I liked our graduation party very much and I think that it was one of the best holidays in school.
