I am from Kazakhstan, but I am Russian. My family has a lot of Russian culture. I want to say about three of them.
The first thing is language. All people from other countries say that Russian language is difficult to learn. Maybe it is true. But for me English is difficult. I speak Russian. I know a lot of songs, tales, and poems on Russian. I would that my son didn’t forget Russian language. It’s very important for me.
The second thing is food. Russian people eat potatoes in different conditions: boiled, fry by frying-pan and bake. Also we eat a lot of vegetables with meat. We like different meat: pork, beef, chicken, rabbits. We drink a lot of tea with milk and some buns or cakes.
And one more thing about my roots is celebration. I want to tell about one national holiday that was on last week. It’s Shrovetide. In this week people cook and eat pancakes. They treat its each other. On Sunday people come to center city. They sing song, dancing, wear national clothes, and compete in different competition.
I would like that my son know and remember these roots from Russia. I would like that his children know from which country our roots. It’s very important for me, because I don’t want that my descendants to forget our relatives from Russia.

I come from Vietnam. My country has an interesting culture. I want to tell three things about culture in my country.
First thing is food. My tropical country has many rivers so we always have vegetables and fish in our meal daily. There are many kinds of vegetables and fish in order that we can change every day. Drinking and eating culture in my country have to mention to traditional cake such as “banh chung” and “banh tet.” It’s made from rice, soybean, meat, and wrap into banana leaf. It’s good taste.
Secondly, I want to introduce to you is our costume. This is “Ao dai” costume. It’s made by many materials as silk, taffeta… Vietnam’s woman will become charming at on special occasions such as Lunar New Year, Wedding…when they wear it. Although we go away from our country, we always bring our costume to remind next generations don’t forget country’s customs.
Last one, I want to talk about language. Reserving original language to youth when they are living in other country is very difficult. Vietnamese has many proverbs and has much slang. It’s fun if you can use it in conversation every day. Moreover, Vietnamese has many meanings for one word. That interesting!
I love my country so much. I’m proud of Vietnam’s culture. I will try hard myself to teach next generations and introduce Vietnam’s culture.

Schools in Belarus
Education in my native country is very good. There are many schools. School education consists of several parts. First part is middle school. Students study from 1st to 5th grade. They learn many words and do homework. Students are taught in two languages: Russian and Belorussian.
High school is the second part. Students learn different sciences, like algebra and geometry. Every three months students take tests. Every school has a library, gym and cafeteria. Students have a break every day.
School education gives a lot of knowledge to prepare students for college.

School
In high school students go to classes from first grade to 6th grade. In college they first mall to 6th mall. When children go to school parents have to pay and it not for free like United Stated. They have to pay for notebooks, pencils, clothes, almost everything. Some people have enough money to educate their children from first to 6th grade.
Students walk to school since there no school buses. They walk for about three miles every day. If you have money you can take a bus to school, but most students walk. They start at 8:00 am until 3:30 pm. In the morning, when students go to class they have to sing a song to Thai flag. Then after that they go to class.

Three Qualities of a Good Teacher
To my understanding, a good teacher should not just be educated, but have a good teaching strategy. Many teachers just state facts. Good teacher must make these facts understandable. Another quality of a good teacher is being friendly with students. Students should not be afraid or intimidated to ask some questions. One more characteristic of good teachers is not to have teacher’s pets in a classroom. Every student must be equal.

Three Qualities of a Good Student
In Vietnam, students need to come to school 15 minutes early to clean up a classroom and finish home work before school
In class students need to listen to a teacher and pass all the tests in one year. Every year, if students got good grades the school gives them books, pens and even some money.

Three Qualities of a Good Teacher
Teachers are our second parents who understand our behaviour and learning style. They care and worry about each pupil as a member of family. Their mission is to be a template of behavior both in the form of clothes, and in comprehension of knowledge. The pupil is no more than a teacher but he/she tries to reach that level with the help of teacher’s knowledge. And teachers in return show the endurance to fill students with that knowledge. I am grateful to our teachers for their patience!

Parents
My family is too big. I have three sisters and three brothers, my parents taught me a lot of things some of these things were help me when I took a mistake. Who I speak nice with people.
My parents did not have a lot of money but they had good health. My dad worked all week, my mom was very good because helped my dad a lot. My mom was always at home working, cleaning up or cooking.
They taught me some very important rules about life .They taught me how to help the old people. My parents taught me that I have to look at things with an open mind.
Right now I feel that when I do something I remember my parents because of their way of raising me. I feel thankful for everything. I wish I could be the same as my dad and mom.

When I was a child I did have a good time. My family is: my parents, my siblings and me. They taught me a lot of things. I will never forget my parents.
My parents worked very much and came home very late. I helped my parents in the house; cleaned house, cooked dinner, watched my little sister, and washed clothes. When I was sick my mother gave me medicine. She bought good clothes, toys, and books. We read books every night and she taught about history.
My parents helped me always with school, my homework, college and my life. My parents told me that did could be good and bad.
My parents were the best in the world for me. I thank them for all they did for me. I want to take care of them.
