爆走黑料

Medina Pakompia Rudy Soler, Peru, MA in Polytechnic School, 2nd year in Russia

1. Advantages of living in Russia:
   + safety, it's nice to live without fear of being kidnapped or that something bad can happen;
   + punctuality, I like that Russians are like that;
   + people respect others rather than doing things that worry others;
   + hospitality, people are very kind. When they help you, they do it because they want to help you, they are not hypocrites.

   Disadvantages: upon arrival, I was surprised that everybody is so serious. I was afraid to talk, but then I realized that when you talk to them, they change completely. They are ready to talk if there is time, and they help you if they can.

2. The pandemic prevents me from drawing the correct conclusion, because I almost have no classes, everything is online, I cannot interact with teachers, see how they solve a particular problem, how they program. I have classes once in a while. Professors give us tasks that we solve, and we read extra materials. If we have some doubts we can always ask questions. I would say that I hate distance learning on Master’s program.
3. Dreams, vodka, Northern lights, bears, Moscow, Putin, supersonic weapons, World War II, Literature, love, beauty, values, snow.

1. I was surprised that the meaning of some words is different. And there are "special" words in Krasnoyarsk, for example a different word for “classes”.

3. Bears, skis, home, friends, Altyn.

1. I still can't take Russian okroshka. Kvass or kefir is poured into the salad, it's a shock. Why do you mix a drink and a salad? Why do Russians love okroshka?
2. In China, teachers have a fixed classroom model. In China, the exam is usually a written test that focuses on grammar rather than speaking.
3. Cold, matryoshka, okroshka, strong, ice, test, automatic.
