Q1：你好，我想知道你为什么想学中文呢？
月星：首先我认为汉语专业是很有前景的，因为中俄两国之间的友好关系，我觉得在俄罗斯找一份体面的工作机会比较多。我可以有很多的职业选择，比如翻译、展览的商业口译员、中国游客的导游还可以成为一名老师。我的父母一直支持我的选择，从来没有说过任何反对的话。从中学开始，我就决定要把我的生活与语言联系起来。现在我的专业是教中文和英文，但将来我打算攻读翻译相关的硕士学位。我非常喜欢中国文化，我认为与母语人士在一起比任何教科书都更有助于学习中国文化。
Q1: Why do you want to learn Chinese?
Yuexing: First of all, I suppose the Chinese major is very promising, because of the friendly relations between China and Russia, there are a lot of opportunities to find a decent job in Moscow. I can have a lot of career options, such as translation, working as a commercial interpreter for exhibitions, working as a tour guide for Chinese tourists, and, last but not least, working as a teacher. My parents have always supported me in my choice, never said anything against it. Since middle school, I decided that I would connect my life with languages. Now my specialty is teaching Chinese and English, but in the future I plan to go for a master's degree related to translation. I like Chinese culture a lot, and I think that being among native speakers helps to learn the culture of the country better than any textbook.

Q3：你觉得在中国学习和在俄罗斯学习有什么不同的吗？
月星：在莫斯科我们一个语言班里，往往学生只有6-10名，但是在中国语言班里会有20个人左右。在我看来，这是一个相当大的数字。我们在莫斯科的课程数量比这里多得多。我甚至会在星期六学习，我觉得学习压力很大。
Q3: Is there any difference between studying in China and studying in Russia?
Yuexing:In Moscow, we usually have small groups of 6-10 students each. There are 20 students in our group during the language semester, which, in my opinion, is quite a large number. We have a much larger number of classes in Moscow than here. I study even on Saturday.That is very stressful.
Q4：在这么多课程里，你喜欢我们老师中的哪一位或哪几位？
月星：我最喜欢冯老师。他教得很好，把一切都解释得很清楚，并在必要的时候纠正一切。我也喜欢米老师。她在课堂上总是很活跃，非常积极，令人振奋。她的课程非常合乎逻辑，而且很有条理。我特别喜欢她教的文化课。我也喜欢其他老师，但我想挑出这两位。
Q4: Out of so many lessons, which one or more of our teachers do you like?
Yuexing：I like Mr. Feng the most. He teaches Chinese well, explains everything very clearly and corrects everything at the necessary moments. I also like Mrs. Mi. She is always active and very positive in class, which is uplifting. Her lessons are very logical and framed. I especially enjoyed the cultural class that she teaches. I also like the other teachers, but I wanted to single out these two.

Q5: What do you think are the differences between Hangzhou and Moscow?
