Today the 16th week of our course will finish. We have only two weeks ahead. It has to be very glade for me because I am already very tired of long and far travels, but I feel me upset. Very soon I will leave all my classmates and teachers, who began to be so close and dear for me. I know, I will miss all them very much, but I hope, we will not lose each other.

Education in my country.
Russian education system is very similar to education in Australia. Russian children begin to visit kindergardens when they are three year old. From age five children begin to study to read, write and learn simple mathematics operation. From age seven all children must study at primary school. Education is co-ed, but some private schools prefer separate education for boys and girls. Studying in a school till age 16 is compulsory. After year eight children can continue education at a high-school or in a college. Usually studying in a high-school lasts till age seventeen-eighteen.
