As you know, the proccess of studying of an foreign lanuage doesn't contain
only remebering grammatic rules, extending your vocabulary and so on. It
also assumes, that you study a foreign culture, an everyday life of
people, who lives in the country. You can obtain this kind of information
for many ways... By reading newspapers, watching a TV and, of course, you
can learn the foreign culture, if you'll live in the country yourself.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible... For many reasons. So, one of
the goals of this text is giving you a piece of information about everyday
life in Russia.

P.S. Also, any corrections are welcome!

What is the english equivalent of the russian word "модельки". I mean
one-forty three models of real cars. In the text of the article I use the
phrase "small cars"... But I suspect that another word exists.

Lady Natasha's washing

Today is Saturday. It means that I have easy lessons at school. In
other words, the subjects, wich we study that day, are not difficult. This is
usually geography, biology, physical culture or something like this.
Thanks for our teachers! Besides, it's the quick lessons. One lesson
lasts only 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes in business days. As today is
Saturday we have only four lessons. So, our class, 2 "G", is sitting in
the classroom and expecting when the last lesson will end. The bell rings
and we went out of the classroom. We're expecting upcoming holidays. After
the lessons I'll come to the home of my friend Cyril in order to see his
new small cars.

Cyril lives in the five-floors building. He lives on the ground floor.
Usually people call that houses "chrooshovka". That houses consists three
small apartments on the stairwell and also the ground floors don't have a
balcony. It means if you wanna do a wash you have to dry your washing
outside, not on your balcony. When I came, the Cyril's mom, lady Natasha,
was finishing her washing. It was summer, so, when she's finished, she
just layed the washing together in the wash-basin, took a stool and was
going to hang the wash outside. I think it would interesting to know, that
the special colunms are locating in yards. They're designed for the
wash-drying and located in a separate place of the yard. They stand
opposite each other and the lines join them. So, lady Natasha has been
coming to the columns, standed the stool on the ground, standed the
wash-basin on the stool and started to hang washing on lines. When she
finished and came home back, she entertained me and Cyril patties. What
the great patties that was!
