A personal profile
Hello, everyone!
My name is Daria Potapova, I am from Moscow, Russia, a Muscovite born and bred. Currently I’ve been working to obtain a bachelor’s degree in English Studies.
However, my ultimate ambition after accomplishing the degree is to get a qualification in teaching Russian, my mother tongue, as foreign language. I’ve always been fond of Russian and Russian literature and they were my key strength in school. That’s why I would be so delighted to extend my knowledge and understanding of Russian language and inspire others on the subject I hold so closely to my heart. Besides, I am intrigued by the importance and the complexity the language holds. Its historical and cultural background make me proud of being Russian native speaker.
Furthermore, I enjoy learning languages as such. Whilst studying English, Italian and Spanish I had good experience of volunteering as an interpreter on some international festivals (film and theatre ones). Thus, I have accumulated precious skills and discovered strengths in communication and team-work.
So when I eventually saw the announcement of “Russian language agents” volunteer program, I proposed my candidacy without deeper examination.
I’m looking forward to the project’s start and wish all the candidates good luck!Well written! I would just use announcement instead of announce.

Je viens de commencer étudier encore parce que je planifie voyager en France pour las vacances en moins de un mois. J’espère que je peux survivre assez bien y peux faire les choses essentielles comme demander la direction, commander à un restaurant, et acheter les billets à attractions.October 25, 201630
British people - my first experiences.
I moved to the UK 2 month ago and I'm really surprised by how the British have positive contact with foreigners and are extra helpful during a crisis situation.
In the shops, hospital, and in every public space when you look at anyone or start a conversation, he/she starts smiling. If you step on someone, they will say sorry first. The British are really polite, easy-going and helpful people.
Once I was running with heavy backpack on my train to London and suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my back so I had to lay down on the street immediately. I could not stand up and was laying for a minute when shortly appeared a lovely old British women who had asked me - Are you alright? I was shocked because of my 'back' situation and answered her - Not really.After a short conversation, she offered me help and took me to her car and brought me to my house. She even carried my heavy backpack to my place. She was great, helpful and really kind:) I want to thank her once again!
After this situation, I was surprised by the really fast reaction from other people. Also, my boyfriend had a similiar situation when he needed help from others and help appeared in a second.
It's really great to live in a sociaty like that where people are welcoming, make you feel safe, and you know that you can always get help from others when you need it.
I'm happy I live in England !Nice, glad you are happy living in the UK! Good luck!

Yo suelo salir para bailar y me perdí dos fiestas buenísimas debido a mi enfermedad. Afortunadamente, sentí mejor domingo y pude salir por una cena de mi amiga. Generalmente, una o dos semanas antes la Día de Acción de Gracias, elle haces una gran cena por todos sus amigos como eso, ella podría celebrar la Día de Acción de Gracia dos veces. Una vez con sus amigos, y una vez con sus familia. Me alegro que pude asistir y probar todos los platos sabrosos. Ella es una excelente cocinera.November 16, 201520

You need to be sure to use all past tense verbs when talking about the past. It's really hard to understand otherwise. Good luck!0 votedNovember 5, 20151Co - worker

I know how that feels!)0 votedNovember 5, 20150- Las carnes procesadas Hoy, lí un artículo sobre como las carnes procesadas pueden producir cáncer de colon. Que lastima porque me gusta muchísima las salchichas, bacón, y la conveniencia de fiambre. No puedo prometer que voy a parar comiendolas por completo, pero por lo menos pudo reducir consumirlas un poquito.November 4, 201560
Space exploration
Nowadays, the problem of space exploration is starting to be one of the most essential because of the scientific progress, growth of technology, and ecological crisis. Some scientists maintain that by 2020 our planet will have been wiped out by people. According to Because of this reason, we should begin to explore space and search new planets to for the human race. Besides, there are other reasons such as to get knowledges about other planets, and about the Galaxy.
To my mind In my mind, space exploration is a very useful and but dangerous things. Firstly, if we find new planet for our rasa race then we can prevent global problems, and save humanity. Secondly, scientists can control and predict catastrophes such as the collision with of meteorites and asteroids. Thirdly, there are space stations where spacemans astronauts research other planets and try to find life on them.
Other people insist on the position that these explorations are very expensive and useless. They understand believe that government creates systems to control people from space, so we lose our liberty. Moreover, countries spend a mint of money ("to spend a mint" is more slang and should not be used in formal writing) on these explorations. But can we see results?
I do not agree with these people. Recall famous cosmonauts such as Gagarin, Belka and Strelka. They stay in our minds for ever.
To conclude, I would like to repeat that space exploration is very important for humanity. Our planet can could be wiped out, but we can could go to another one. We can could predict huge catastrophes. Researching other planets can could be very essential for our scientific development. The Cosmos is one of the most unexplainable and mysterious place, but people explore it to find answers on to their questions.0 votedOctober 22, 20151
