Essay Contest

This Thursday, I am going to participate in a Russian Essay competition (yay! I'm so excited!). It's a somewhat local competition, so those outside of the New York capital region have probably never heard of it. However, I'm not going to hold my title as the best in my class, nor am I going to ensure the ability to gloat when the results come out, if I don't make sure that I will do well. That's where you come in. :lol:

I would be really happy if you helped me out. So, sometime this week, I want to write about some vague topic, and again, I would be really really happy if you could proof-read it, like DDT and his Martini--drinking-bathing-suit-wearing cow. Awesome. Thanks.





P.S Sorry I haven't written in the past two months, I've been grounded. Ah, the toils of a teenage life.

ОК, только не надо бреда писать.

Isn't the purpose of competition that you have to do it yourself? If not we have a professional writer around.

Is it me?

That's funny because I can read all the English speakers posts written in Russian, which have been put on the board for correction much better before the Russian guys correct all their mistakes.

Oh, I'm not expecting answers, the subject on which we will write is given to us the day of. I just want to get some good practice in, and the only other people I know to speak Russian are either too busy playing Runescape, or rotting away in their bedroom.

Why not? Let him deside what to write. You didn't like that DDT story or what?

subpar
No problem but your story must be good!

No worries! I just need to correct you on one thing NetSurfer. It is apparrant to me that "ГОМОСЕКСУАЛИСТ" must really mean handsome and studly fellow with beautiful biceps that chicks really, really dig!

subpar
my congratulations!

DDT, do you have beautiful biceps?

No, in this context, I think it means "a man whom other men with really large biceps really, really dig, and vice versa".

See, I can help out with translations :lol:

I apologize for any confusion. The website I posted only has the results of the Competition of Spoken Russian from last Spring. I only posted that to show how well I did last Sping. But don't worry, I dazzle wherever I go. No doubt Gold'll stick with me this time, too. :wink:

I wouldn't be so sure about that considering the number of mistakes in your essay posted here :wink: You should study harder if you wanna succeed.

I don't believe you, subpar. With all those mistakes in Russian, you cannot get a golden medal!

For a thirteen year old, this ain't bad stuff guys! I see a future linguist in the makings!

BTW, Subpar, you won a gold medal and you call yourself subpar? :roll:

kalinka_vinnie: Thank you!

I've been humbled today. :(

The topic was "свободное время", so I filled out how I've spent my life on a computer. I thought I did fine, until I realized that what filled a lined sheet of paper, didn't even fill half of the official contest papers! And I couldn't scratch it all out, it would be unprofessional.












*sigh*

Oh well, back to the books.

Sorry to hear that. But don't be sad. It's definitely not the most important thing in life :wink:

...Don't rub it in, of course it's important. :x

It is also important not to have a big obnoxious banner for a signature!

*swap*

Nee-ner.

All the Russian essay contests I ever participated in were proctored by teachers and given in a lecture hall so we couldn't cheat. It was also a national thing, where gold medalists had their essays shipped off to the Pushkin Institute in Moscow, where they were rejudged in an international competition.
Personally, I got two gold medals, but it isn't the sort of competition I took seriously. (Because essays like yours also got gold medals)
