Hello, my name is Ren Ningbo, in September I came to Kazan from China. For me, studying at the preparatory school is very interesting and useful. At the first classes in the Russian language, I did not understand everything, it was especially difficult in the classes on the history of Russia, mathematics and social studies. Every day I tried to learn new words and new grammar. Time passed quickly, and I began to get acquainted with foreign and Russian students to communicate. In addition to classes, there is a lot of interesting things at the prep-school, for example, the «round table» events, when students from different groups sit down together and discuss current issues. I think this is a very good way to make new friends and learn to speak good Russian. I really thank my teacher and curator, as she helped me a lot.
