Our names are Ann and Bill and we want to welcome you to this edition of §3 Spotlight on Russia. We are both Year 11 students from Ridgeway Secondary School in Liverpool, England. We are very lucky to be living and studying in Russia this year as part of a student exchange programme. Spotlight on Russia has invited us to work for the magazine as guest editors. This year we will be travelling across this amazing country and learning as much as we can about Russian culture, geography, environmental issues, free-time activities and much more. We'll share our impressions of life in Russia with you, and we hope you'll tell us more about different aspects of life in your great country! Please send us your ideas about places we should see and things we should do while we are here. You can contact us by email at bill&[email protected] Remember, teenagers from all over the world read this terrific magazine, so this is a great opportunity to let people know about your country! We hope you enjoy our articles.
