Interview

Who are you?

My name is Svetlana Kistina, I am 21 year old. I study in Tavrida Kerch University of Economics and Humanity. I learn there two languages English and German. So I suppose that in the nearest future I will work as a teacher. To speak about my interests I can say that I like painting and drawing. Also I like to spend my free time with friends or listening to my favorite music.  

How did you learn English?

I began to study English at kindergarten. These exiting memories from that time, I remember our teacher of English she showed us bright pictures with alphabet, after we learned it there were pictures with words, we completed stories from those pictures. It was really funny! Then I studied at school #19, where English was the most important subject. So we did not have the subject which was called simply English lesson. We had speaking classes, writing classes. And my favorite subject was Country study. The school-time was unforgettable. After that I wanted to improve my knowledge of English and entered this institute. In the beginning of the study it was not so hard as I thought, because of my based knowledge, but then on the 3^rd and 4^th years it became harder, but I worked more and it helped me, especially on my state exams (this thrilling event).  

What has English given you?

A lot of interesting information about language, many facts which I did not know before. Now I can be sure that my speech is well organized and I can have a talk with person from English-speaking country. I watched films, read books and listen to the music in English, earlier I understood the half of information and now I understand almost everything. But it is not perfection and I will develop myself in this area.
