BEAR: My Adventures with Natasha

Yesterday I visited one more Russian family and I’m very pleased. I met a lot of new friends – Natasha, her classmates, parents and two little bears – a brother and a sister. I came to the flat in the evening. I felt very tired because I was walking in the forest and even tried to ride a bicycle. As soon as I came I fell asleep. The next day I had to get up at 6:20 and go to school. There I knew a lot of interesting things from Russian teachers. They said I was very nice and pretty. I sat at the French lesson – it’s really a very beautiful language, but I understood nothing. 
Later I was interested in Russian music. Natasha has a guitar and a piano, but they were too big for me to play. Though I was really lucky – I found a little guitar for me and enjoyed playing it! Then Natasha gave me her player and I was a little bit afraid – the music was so “hard”!
My dear Taiwanese friends, Russia is a very interesting country, I wish you to visit it!

About LETTERS

• Katya Popova: We got a big envelope with many letters from Taiwan. I have a letter from Andy Huang. This boy likes basketball and chess.
• First of all you are super creative people!
• Kate Duvanova: I am very happy to get a letter from Taiwan! Sesame sent me a beautiful letter. She even wrote how they write “nice to meet you”. It’s really nice, but too difficult for me to write.
• Natasha Beletskaya: I received a very funny letter – it’s a sheet of a girl’s notebook, very funny, with monkeys and stickers. My nice pen pal is a fan of baseball.
• Masha Kholostykh: Today I got a funny letter with little pigs, smiles, with words “don’t enter”,”pig pig family”, “simple life”. I like it. This letter is from Tzu Hjiang Chuang, a kind, sociable and friendly 17 year old girl.
• Sabina Guseinova: I am really, really happy to get an answer!!! Hooray! The letter is from Jack, he likes music and photographing. He sent me some beautiful pictures of Kaohsiung, West Lake bay and others. It’s great!
• Dasha Knyazeva: Jordan from Taiwan likes listening to music. It’s one of my hobbies too. Also he prefers Internet. It helps him to find a lot of information. I like internet too. It helps me to communicate with people.
• Rita Masyukova: I am thrilled that I got a letter from such a fascinating boy. He seems to me very handsome: tall, black-haired, black-eyed. He’s my ideal. I hope, he’s so beautiful not just outside, but also inside. I hope we will become very good friends. 
• We appreciate all our Taiwanese friends for the letters!

To Shun-Wei Yen from Yelena Anatolyevna Nikitina

Dear Shun-Wei Yen,

thank you very much for your letter, which I got in that wonderful envelope together with a lot of other great letters. I don't know your personal address, so, I hope, I can answer you there. I was REALLY happy to get your letter - it was a great surprise. When you work a lot as a teacher you can even forget sometimes that you are also just a human being and letters are not only a useful pleasure for your students - one of them absolutely unexpectedly is for you! It was a very touching moment for me to get it. It is an honor for me that you decided to write me a letter.

Thanks for telling about you. My son is 23 years old and daughters are 21 and 15. They all are not only my children but my students. Here is my youngest one with Bear.

I think that tennis is something special. My hobbies are theatre and reading - and teaching!

Now, when I know more and more about your country I like Taiwan a lot. It seems to me that it's amazing to live in the ever-spring place! Here is my photo in our spring forest - I like this season, the time of snowdrops (these are the flowers around me) very much.

I do enjoy our Teddy Bear Project very much. It is fun and now there are some more deeper things - the ones I didn't guess about when we were just thinking to start. We exchange our cultures and funny that little teddy bears help us. It seems to me that Miss Wu is a very good teacher because she wants to do more then she has to. My warmest hello to her and all your classmates!

Welcome to Russia!

All the best,

your Russian pen pal Yelena Anatolyevna Nikitina 

My School Life with Crazy Guys in Taiwan

In our school, it's very common to see students play with Magic block. It's look funny, right?

Look! I can play Magic block! Maybe I can teach you how to play it someday.

Besides, it's very comfortable to lie on the classmate-"Ber Yao", because he is a little fat, and his body is soft!

Have you played baseball? It's an excited sport! I enjoy it!

I also visit the swimming pool of our school. Look, I'm surfing !
