11 Problems in learning English.
I like English very much, bur when some English boys and girls came to our school on an exchange programme, I couldn’t understand them. I always look them up in a dictionary, but next day I cant remember them. I'm learning all the rules and words, but I can not use these words in conversation, and make many mistakes. When the lesson the teacher asked me, I understand everything, but after two days, I keep forgetting.

12 solution to these problems.
Need to read books in English, and if necessary, look in the dictionary It is necessary to watch movies, first in Russian and then in English, watching a film we have produced an English accent

13 Russian language. History and examples.
In about the 6th century AD Slav tribes migrated west to the river Elbe and to the south into the Balkans. By the 10th century there were Slavonic language groups: Western, Southern and Eastern. Russian together with Ukrainian and Belorussian, comes from the Eastern Slavonic language group. In the 12th century the Mongols came. You may think that Mongol invaders who stayed in Russia changed the language forever, but it isn't true. The Russian language didn’t change much and stayed Slavic. All Slavonic languages are similar and people who speak them can understand each other.

14 The first primer. The appearance of ABC in the East Slavic lands of the XVI century. The first printing was published primer Lawrence Zizaniem in Vilna in In 1634 Basil Burtsovym in Moscow, was released on ABC.

16 CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN LANGUAGE 19CENTURY
The modern literary language is usually considered to date from the time of Alexander Pushkin in the first thing of the 19 century. Pushkin revolutionized Russian literature by rejecting archaic grammar and vocabulary in favor of grammar and vocabulary found in the spoken language of younger age may only experience slight difficulties understanding sane words in Pushkin`s text, sine relatively few words used by Pushkin have become archaic of changed meaning. In fact, many expressions used by Russian writers of the early 19th century, in particular Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Gogol, Alexsander Griboyedov, became proverbs or saying which can be frequently found even in modern Russian colloquial speech.
