‘We know Russian’ Contest

On February 17th, on the eve  of the International Day of Native Language (February 21), students of the sixth form held an exciting contest called ‘We know  Russian’. Three teams – ‘The Gerund’, ‘The Patrons of Victory’ and ‘The Noun’ answered  questions and performed tasks on phonetics, lexicology, word formation, orthography. The battle was very tense. None of the teams wanted to give in their victory to the competitors, but the winner was determined very soon and kept its leading position throughout the round. 

The results of the linguistic contest are as follows:

First Place – ‘The Patrons of Victory’ team

Second Place – ‘The Noun’ team

Third Place – ‘The Gerund’ team.

Such participants as Fedor Timofeev, Maria Volkova, Anna Popova and Katya  Bacherikova showed particular interest and involvement in the contest.

We congratulate all the participants and winners!

The students of the 8^th year also kept up with their younger colleagues by participating in the ‘Linguistic Ring’. To win, they needed to show  knowledge, erudition and intellectual sharpness  rather than  physical strength. The “Arrow’ team (which had the  motto: ‘We’ll be flying like  arrows, You won’t be able to  catch  us’) built a clear competition strategy and gained leadership in the following rounds: ‘Orthoepy Problems’, ‘Text decoding’, ‘Phraseology Battle’. Teams ‘100%’ and ‘Azbuka’ also kept up with the leaders,  though did not manage to beat ‘Arrow’.

The result of the ‘Linguistic Ring ’ are as follows:

First Place – the ‘Arrow’ team

Second Place – ‘100%’ team

Third Place – the ‘Azbuka team.

‘Well done!’   to all the participants who showed exceptional performance.

We wish you many more victories!
