1) Maslenitsa is a Russian holiday that dates back to pagan times. 2) Blini (pancake) feasts along with traditional amusements like snow-fortresses, snow-fights, merry-go-rounds, folklore songs and dancing will be held all over Moscow. 3) All the guests will have a chance to taste delicious pancakes made directly in Red square. 4) Those who wish to present their cooking talents will have an opportunity to compete in a pancake cooking competition. 5) The judges will estimate the cooking abilities of the competitors, counting the number of pancakes they can make without a brake. 6) On the last day of Maslenitsa all the feasting will end by burning down scarecrows symbolizing winter, thus saying good-bye to the cold season until next year.
My name is (своё имя) and I am a schoolgirl (schoolboy). I like going to school and I really like to study. I go to school five days a week. We have classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We are free on Saturday and Sunday. My typical school day starts at 7 a.m. My alarm clock rings and I get up and sometimes do my morning exercises. Of course, I clean my teeth and wash my face but I never have breakfast at home. I prefer to take an apple with me and have a snack after the first lesson. I don't have to think about my dress because school uniform is compulsory and we must wear it every day. So it doesn't take me much time to get dressed. Usually I walk to school as I live not very far from it, but sometimes one of my parents drop me off there. Our lessons begin at 8 a.m and we usually have five or six of them every day. As I have already mentioned, I never have breakfast at home, so sometimes I have lunch at school, but I am not a big eater. As for classes, they finish at 2 p.m and then we are free. But I have extra classes of Algebra and Geometry as I am not very good at them. They last till 3 o'clock and after that I go home. When I come home I do my homework and watch TV. Three days a week I go to the swimming pool and twice a week I play tennis. In the evening I chat with my friends online or read books. I go to bed at 11 p.m.That's my typical day.
What do you do in the afternoon?
