About Nikita

Hello!! My name is Nikita Vorontsov. I’m from Russia and I live in Moscow. First of all I would like to tell you about my city.

Moscow is a capital of Russia. Moscow was first mentioned in the records dated back to the year 1147. So Prince Yuri Dolgorukiy founded it more than eight centuries ago. Historians have accepted the year 1147 as the start of Moscow’s history. As for me all the people who have come to Moscow should see the Kremlin and Red Square. The Kremlin is a hart of the Moscow. It is the oldest historical and architectural center. On Red Square we can see a monument to Minin and Pozharsky, St. Basil’s Cathedral which was built in the mid-16tth century in memory of the victory over Kazan. Now Moscow is the capital of Russia, it’s political, economic, cultural and commercial center, one of the largest cities in the world. The population of the city is over 9 million. Moscow is the seat of the Russian Parliament and the center of political life. There are more than 80 museums. The largest are the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the State Tretyakov Gallery. The best-known theatre is Bolshoi Theatre. Moscow is a city of students. There ere over 80 higher educational institutions in it.

I’m a student and I study at school in 10th form. I started to learn English 5 years ago. And I think that learning English it’s very important now. So to practice more every summer holidays I go to camps in England to learn this language.

I have many hobbies because there are many interesting things to do. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time as I'm going to be a student. That's why I have to study a lot. I like doing different things: Such as reading detective stories, listening to the music, playing tennis with my classmates. But my favorite hobby is playing basketball. I like this sport very much and my favorite team is LA Lakers and my best player is Kobe Bryant. Of course I like to watch TV. A large time of TV evening’s time is occupied by films and serials, but as for me I like quizzes. A quizzes–program is a question and an answer competition which offers money and other prizes and to the winners. Such programs as “Wonders field”, “Brain ring”, What, Where, When”, “Guess the melody” are me favorite ones, because they are both informative and interesting. But best of all I like the programs of “Travels club”, because it gives me a chance to travel of other the world with out living home. Far away countries and their customs and traditional are come into my living room.

That is all about me!
