Alexey to Argentenean friends

              Hello,Micaela, Georgina and Erika!

       My name is Alexey. I’m from a small town called Nefteyugansk in Siberia, Russia.

      I like to spend my time with friends by going for a walk, to the cinema or maybe to the club. Also I like to work with my computer.

      I’m so glad about talking with you. There in Russia we have been studding in high school for 7 years. So now I’m seventeen years old. Yes, you are right we have not got a school uniform, but that does not mean that we can wear everything we want. I have to say that from the next year uniform will be included to our school and probably to all schools in Russia. Usually, when we finish high school we just prepare to continue studying in a university or etc. We do not do something unusual for our lives at the end of studying, so it’s only a little celebration for a reason of joining adult life.

       Most families got 3-4 members: a mum, a dad, a son and/or a daughter. But mostly 4. Here in Russia we usually have no private houses, I mean big houses on the private territory  with a  garden and a  loan. We have got high blocks of flats, with 5-9 storeys with more than 100 flats in each. 

  Best wishes,

 Alexey   

 

School Elite Celebration

Good afternoon, friends!

My name is Guzel and I'm writing to you for the first time. I can't wait to tell you  about the last school news! As you know, our school life is full of not only great pupils, but of imressive and unforgettable events too.Today I'm talking about the holiday which we call "School Elite", this event has become traditional for us. But this year everybody was breathtaken with  great perfomances and presentations of many awards! I can't find the right words to describe how fantastic and stunning it was! I even can deny that there were people who were not happy for all the winners! I also was lucky and it was really big honour for me to be a participant of this ceremony,  I also got my awards in two special nominations.

We have special nominators in different categories, such as : "Best of the Bests" "Sports Progress" "Best team work (which includes various competitions, sport games and other kinds of team commucation) " ,"Awards for Foreign Language Learners", "Nominations for individual subjects" and so on! 

The event took its place at our school auditorium, it's not very large but we had enough place for all the audience: pupils, teachers (including our Headmistress and her assistants), and childrens' parents. The show promised to be exclusive! And that it was! 

Amazing presenters started the show and their speech was really good, everybody loved it! Then the first nomanation was announced and all the winners of it got their awards. And I'm very proud to say that I was in the first nomination too which was called "The Intellectual Elite".  Actually we had many winners this year and it was really cool!

As you know there are 30 students in our class and 13 of them were awarded in this or that nomination. Our class teacher Valentina was very proud of her students.

All in all, we had great  time and, of course, it will stay in our memories for a long period  

I'd like to thank our school for such a magnificient show! I really hope that this tradition will exist for the  following years and everybody will enjoy it like we do!

Best wishes from Guzel!
