ELLA: International food, like Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian… JACK: That's interesting. How do you learn? ELLA: I get books from the library, and I watch programmes on television, and last year I did a Japanese cooking course at the college. And, of course, I study food technology at school. JACK: Great! Tell me more about your Japanese cooking course. ELLA: Well, the classes were every Monday, from seven o'clock until half-past nine. It lasted eight weeks. At the end, we had a big party. We cooked lots of Japanese foodand invited all our families and friends. JACK: It sounds great. I'm doing a course at the college too, at the moment. ELLA: Are you? What? JACK: Music technology. I'm learning how to record music and set up microphones at concerts. ELLA: That sounds interesting. Do you play an instrument? JACK: Well, I played the violin when I was young. I was quite good, but I don't like classical music. I like rock music. You don't usually hear violins in rock music! I tried to learn the guitar, but I was terrible at it! I tried the drums too. I was quite good at that, but my parents didn't want me to play them. They said they're too noisy. So I decided to learn music technology. Then I can enjoy rock music without playing it!ELLA: That sounds interesting. Do you play an instrument? JACK: Well, I played the violin when I was young.

The river Kama is an important river in Russia. Situated in west-central Russia, it is one of the longest tributaries of the Volga and 1, 805 kilometers long. It starts its journey in Udmurtia, near the town of Kuligi and flows north, then east, south and south-west until it reaches the Volga river. There are many cities situated on the banks of the Kama, such as Solikamsk, Berezniki and Perm.
The Kama is a valuable waterway to the Urals and Siberia and is, therefore, often used as a trade route. Its waters support a wide variety of industries and its floodplains are rich in salt and potassium. There are hydroelectric stations at Perm and petroleum is extracted in the Sylva and Iren valleys.
Although the Kama is mostly associated with industry, it remains a beautiful river nonetheless. During the winter months when the river is frozen, you can find people ice-skating and during the warmer months of the year many enjoy strolling along its banks.
