Hi, everybody! As
it’s my first blog, I feel quite anxious about it, but I dare suppose it’s part
and parcel of having such an experience. Having just read David’s post, I
really found it diverting, so I will try to make something akin.
My name is Anna Nazarova. I was brought up in Moscow
and have been living here for a whole my life. Honestly, I have quite ambigious
thoughts about my city - I, no doubt, like my lifestyle in Msk, but also
frequently I want it to be not so fussy.
Talking about my plans in future, I do want to
start my career and carve a niche for myself, after getting my B.A. in Economics. During this
class I want to practice speaking as much as possible, cause for me it’s one of
the most essential part, I also obviously believe my speaking English is not
brilliant enough. And the second but not the least thing is mastering a skill
of creating not only essays and journalistic pieces and also CV, letter of
application, etc. Briefly, I’d like this course to be as practical as possible.
In my leisure
time, which I expect I won’t have as much as I had in school, I like first of
all traveling, cooking and playing tennis. As my Mom has green fingers, gardening
has become one of our family pastimes. Moreover, I am really into dances and
going somewhere out with my pals, even some of them call me «culture vulture».
Well, I bet
that’s all about myself, I do hope u enjoyed my piece!
Great first post, Anna! Thanks for introducing yourself.
ОтветитьУдалитьAs a newcomer to Moscow, I'm curious about your comment that you'd like your life in Moscow to be "not so fussy." What do you mean by that?
It sounds like you keep yourself busy with all your leisure activities. I'm curious about where you are in the last photo. Is that a castle? Is it in Russia?
I hope that you get the speaking practice you're looking for in this class, but as I said before we'll mostly focus on academic writing. Unfortunately, I don't think that we'll have time to work on c.v.'s and cover letters, but it does give me the idea that perhaps we should consider adding a business English course to the curriculum that would cover those kinds of topics. Thanks for the suggestion!
I look forward to reading your next blog. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, David!))
ОтветитьУдалитьAs for your first questions I have just answered in my last post
And this foto was taken in Belarus last spring, it's a castle in a very small town which consists just of this castle and nearby village
