MISS RUSSIA OR VLADIMIR PUTIN?

Have you ever thought about Russians you would like to meet? Usually, the people coming to learn Russian in Petrozavodsk say Russians are very hospitable and open. Even if sometimes they seem to be gloomy they always smile inside. Maybe that is why we got so many essays from Scholarship contest candidates? Believe us or not, many participants wrote in the essays about famous politicians, journalists, Russian singers. But here us the extract of Nicolay’s essay who is willing to meet Miss Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Nicolay from Malta: I’d like to meet the President and beautiful Russian women

Мне очень нравится Россия, особенно город Санкт-Петербург. Недавно я изучал русский язык, и я прожил два года в Санкт-Петербурге.
Я знаю, что Россия – мать великих людей. В России жили и живут великие люди. Отличный великий человек с которым я хочу встретиться это Владимир Путин: он великий лидер и патриот. Россия – самая большая страна в мире, поэтому ей нужен сильный лидер. На работе я лидер команды, поэтому у меня есть чему поучиться у господин Путин!
Также В России живут самые красивые женщины мира, так почему бы и нет, Я был бы очень рад встретиться Мисс Россия!

“В РОССИИ ЖИЛИ И ЖИВУТ ИНТЕРЕСНЫЕ И ВЕЛИКИЕ ЛИЧНОСТИ”

Russian journalist you would be pleased to meet

We’ve already shared with you some stories of the candidates to learn Russian for free competition. Anastasia Romanova, singer Nargiz, Russian sportsmen turned out to be of high interest for Russian leaners all over the world. The topic for the essays was pretty easy – Russian people I’d like to meet. But the essays were so creative! This time we post here an essay of Noemi from Italy. She is writing about Vladimir Pozner.

Noemi from Italy and her essay for the Russian course scholarship contest

Менязовут Ноэми. Мне 21 год. Я студентка из Италии. Я учусь в университете и там я изучаю русский язык. Мне очень нравится русский язык и культура России. Я знаю, что в России жили и живут интересные и великие личности. С одной из таких личностей, я бы хотела встретиться. Это Владимир Владимирович Познер. Он журналист, общественный деятель и просто интересный человек.

Я бы хотела встретиться с этим человеком, потому что он очень умный и интеллигентный человек, он ведет интересную программу на русском телевидении, куда приходят разные знаменитости, политики и другие важные персоны. Он ведет интервью на свободном русском языке, его словарный запас очень велик, несмотря на то, что русский язык не является его родным. Мне бы хотелось изучить русский язык так же хорошо, как он, ведь русский язык богатый и очень красивый. Также Владимир Владимирович Познер иногда ведет лекции в университете для будущих журналистов. Его лекции очень интересны для студентов, потому что он профессионал своего дела.

Мне бы очень хотелось изучить русский язык, чтобы свободно на нем общаться. Надеюсь, когда-нибудь у меня это получится, и я даже смогу встретиться с Познером.

Russian celebrities I'd like to meet

If you were happen to travel in Russia, who would you like to meet? May be the President or a famous actor, a scientist or ballet dancer? In summer 2018 shcolarship contest  Enjoy Russian school asked the candidates to write an essay about any famous Russians from the past to present. We were very surprised by both the number of participants and people they were describing. The winner  for instance told about the Romanovs and interview she would hold with Anastasia Romanova. Peter the Great, journalist Vladimir Pozner, skier Maria Komissarova and other famous people also turned out to be of high  interest for Russian language learners. Here is the essay of Luis from Colombia.

Luis about famous Russian singers and bands

When I travel in Russia I would like to meet Nargiz Zakirova. She is an outstanding singer, one of my favorites. When I started to listen music in Russian, she was one of the first singers that I listened to. Her life has impressed. I would to meet her in a café in St. Pétersburg, talking about a lot of things, asking her about what does she feel when she sings and projects does she have for the future. And, of course, taking a selfie with her.
And talking about musician, I would also to meet the members of Amatory, Vismut, СЛОТ, Storm Inside, 7000$ and Animal ДжаZ. I also like their music very much. In the case of these artist, I would like to meet them all in a metalcore festival in Moscow. Knowing that summer is a god time for that kind of concert and festival, that would very a very awesome experience.
And if I had a time machine to go back in the time and meeting someone, that would be the count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (also known as Leo Tolstoy), one of the very best and greatest writers of all time. I know that for him that would be a strange experience meeting someone form the future but I'd try to not spoil anyting, but telling him how much I admire his work and letting him know that despite how hard were (well, would be at that time) his last years, his work will be hugely appreciated. I truly wish to have the opportunity to meet such a great writer like him.
