Essay on Victory Day
One of the most remarkable public events in Russia is the Victory Day. It is traditionally celebrated on the 9th of May. The holiday marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War in 1945. It became the end of the Great Patriotic War for the USSR, which lost about 25 million citizens in the four years of fighting and starvation.
Every year all cities across the country have lots of parades and celebrations. Even though the fact that the holiday is celebrated cheerfully, May 9 is a sad day for the majority of our population. Many people have lost close relatives and friends in this terrible war. Almost every family in Russia has a person who didn’t return from the battlefield. A great number of people were seriously injured and became disabled. On this day we are grateful to our saviors, to those who sacrificed their lives for us. That’s why we try to celebrate this day with honors.
There are some traditions that we follow. We give flowers, usually red carnations, to veterans in the street and lay wreaths at war memorial sites. Neighborhood schools may host a program prepared by the students, featuring wartime songs and poetry. Also, there is St. George ribbon campaign, which has occurred on the eve of the Victory Day for nine years already. Millions of Russians and compatriots in 100 countries take part in this campaign. Orange–black ribbons handed out by volunteers in the streets are one more sign of our commemoration of the Great Victory. At home, we gather around a festive table to honor survivors and honor those who passed away. We may also watch a favorite Soviet film based on the events of World War II.
I think it’s a great day in our history, but some part of the younger generation doesn’t understand the importance of this event, which I think is disrespectful. My grandparents took part in this war, and I’m proud of them.
<span>i think one of the main reasons that leads to a list of differences is that in Canada, universities are some kind of a “service”: students pay </span>good money for it, and expect to receive a good service in returnUniversities in Canada are much more customer oriented to students than in Russia. Professors and staff try to make a student`s experience the best they possibly can!
Also there are lots of different resources available to help students. Such as if a student is struggling with figuring out what are they going to do with their career, if they need information about extending their study permit or if they run into some issues with understanding subjects they are studying, there are many people available to help. In each university there will be lots of advising available (academic, career, international and so on). Professors` office hours and various services likePeer Education <span>are conducted by students for the benefit of student experience and community.</span>.
Соглашусь с Марией. От себя добавлю, что хорошо будет много раз послушать песенку с алфавитом на английском языке или какие-нибудь простые разговорные видео. Так у меня всё от зубов отскакивало раньше в 3 классе.
