Bowelcomplaint Fisure

of holidays and free writing

to my main tasks here is the German language instruction. In a way, this is a wonderfully simple thing: I speak in my native language, which is easy for me, I make no mistakes and does not have to think. For the students it looks quite different: many elements of German grammar they have not been transferred into the blood, and to speak correctly, many educational efforts are needed and quickly combine, if, for example, the rapid retrieval of pertinent extension in the oral interview goes.
Currently I'm preparing for a Russian language test before (TORFL - "Test of Russian as a Foreign Language", modeled after the famous TOEFL test for English) and can so wonderful on the basis of my own efforts with the Russian language, understand what my students go through when they learn German. In April, a commission to come, traveled from Moscow to remove the test for all who have signed up - except me, here are a number of students mainly from Asian countries. I go regularly for consultations at the Department of Russian as a foreign language and am quite optimistic that I will do the test at the targeted level (B2 of the Common European Framework).

"I spent Christmas 2010 in Germany with a nice family. On the morning of 24.12. I suddenly saw a man with a red jacket, red cap and a big bag on his back. I approached him and asked him
- Are they Santa Claus?
- He replied: No, I'm color blind, so I can not get dressed properly. But St. Nicholas is my good friend, I can make them known to him if you want.
- I answered, "My friend is a good and well-known ophthalmologist. I can also make you acquainted with him in order to enhance their eyes. But why do you carry the bag?
- I wear it a lot of my stuff to the exact moment a thing of another color to wear.
- So, come with me! We will solve your problem. "

As I started teaching my students this week," creative Write "can practice:.. I have given them the beginning of a story and then each in turn should complement a set of result are three funny short texts, of which I find the above best
Our theme is currently" Holidays in Germany and Russia ". It is interesting that most public holidays in Germany have a Christian origin. In Russia, however, Easter, Ascension, is Pentecost so of course religious festivals (postponed for 14 days), but there are still have work days. The official holidays mostly a political background: the day Defender of the Fatherland (23.2.), the day of victory (9.5.), Independence (12.6.) or the Day of the unity of the people (4.11.). The Neujahresferien officially take up to 5 and in practice, usually by 10 January, included is the Orthodox Christmas is on 7.1.
glad I am on the recognition of Lyudmila, one of our elderly ladies at the department, who teaches in the best Soviet tradition of strict and thorough. They spontaneously on lectures in my classes and praised me for my good preparation after the hour.

My students now know that the 3rd October is not the Oktoberfest, but the Day of German Unity. Small mistakes can occur given.
