Interview

Who are you?

My name is Nicka Nemilostivaya. I am 21.

Where do you live?

 I live in Kerch, the Crimea, Ukraine.

Where do you study?

Now I’m a student of the 6 course of the English language department where we study English, German, Ukrainian and Latin little. Russian is my native. But I’d like to know Chinese. I have just a bachelor diploma.

So you know English well? How did you learn English?

Mm… To tell the truth, I didn’t learn English at school with pleasure or an especial eagerness. But in the institute I understood that I must be serious to my future profession. So I decided to make learning English interesting for me. I started to watch films in English with subtitles. And now I continue to see films without translation.

I like music very mush so it accompanies me everywhere. At home I listen to the music on computer all day. Usually I listen to songs of foreign executors.  Sometimes I switch on my walkman so I can learn English even in the street at any time.

In the cool evenings I prefer to read original books. Also I try to learn poems and perform declamation in front of the mirror to make my pronunciation better.

I, as all modern youth like to sit in internet, and very often I see interesting headlines or photos, click on it, read interesting facts and also learn new words simply from titles.

But the most effective method, I think, is an immersing in the English-speaking environment, for example, receiving an education in England or with the help of the program of an exchange of students.

 So, that is my main secrets!

 What has English given you?

English gave me a possibility to make new acquaintances and new friends not only in Kerch or Ukraine but even in the whole world. I have some pen friends and try to communicate with them often. In such way I improve my writing English.

One more thing that English thought me is a skill of quick writhing on keyboard, so now I can become a writer or a good secretary.

English gives to me more possibilities to get interesting and prestige job. But mainly, English makes my life brightly! People are delighted when know that I will graduate of foreign philology faculty next year.
