Good afternoon!
My name is Victoria, I’m 18 years old. I like languages, music, dances and books)I would really like to answer the questions that our English teacher gave us.
The first question is: “Why am I here (at the Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod)?”
In my opinion, this is an excellent question! :)
First of all, I prefer to read foreign literature and like writing poems). In addition, I adore listening to foreign music and I want to understand all the words, because it is very important to realize that the singer wants to convey his song. I am a keen music lover. In addition, I would really like to watch movies in English, travel the world and meet new people from different countries.

Unfortunately, my English skills are not very good, but I really want to correct it and develop language skills. To my mind, advantage of developing good language slills is that can read books in the original, translate them and understand the content or meaning that the writer wants to convey to the reader. I really want to break through language barrier and have perfect command of English, because it gives you much more opportunities to find a highly-paid job. For these reasons, I entered at the Linguistic University and really appreciate it :) I hope that I will be able to overcome difficulties and be a good student)

The second question: “What do I want from my college experience, ideally?”. First of all, I want to improve language skills and historical,geographical knowledge, because English gives you an opportunity to travel around the world, to meet new people, to know theit culture and traditions, as well as to explore different cuisines. Also, I want to master a language and break through language barrier. I will do my best to become fluent in English. Besides, I want to find true friends and become part of the large and friendly family of this University!)
