Let’s talk about the education.
Let’s talk about your school. What’s your school like?
It’s one of the best educational establishments in Minsk that is famous for its high-quality teaching and good equipment. I want to say that our school is one of the modem schools in Belarus. It provides eleven years of education which offers a general course of academic and non-academic subjects. Besides it offers a number of courses giving a profound knowledge in a variety of fields: humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, etc.
The building itself is of typical design with the same layout and the distribution of classrooms, administrative offices, canteens, gyms and libraries as you can see in most other schools. But when you come in through the front door you find yourself in a spacious hall with comfortable sofas and large windows.
School has become an integral part of my life. Our social and cultural life is well organized; both teachers and classmates are so friendly and easy to get along with. I am on good terms with my classmates, as all of them are interesting and enigmatic persons. We often spend our free time together and I think I will never forget these years and I will regret that everything has finished.
Does your school have any traditions?
It is very important to have some school traditions, because it unites pupils and gives a sense of belonging and pleasant memories. Our school has a busy and eventful life.
In February we celebrate the "School Reunion Day." Ex-pupils and former teachers of different years come to the school, remember their school years and share their life experience with us.
On Valentine’s Day a special "love post" works, and by the end of the day Cupids deliver love letters to pupils and teachers.
There are different events connected with volunteering to help disabled children.
I will never forget a "Self-government Day," when pupils performed the functions of school administration and teachers. It was very useful and a great fun.
And, finally, I can’t wait for the "Graduation Ceremony," when 11-formers say goodbye to the school family, thank their teachers and parents. They say it is a glamorous event, full of style, warmth and gratitude.

Did you miss your classes without any serious reason?
What can you advise a student who wants to continue his education after finishing school?
I must say that when you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It’s not an easy task to make the right choice of a job. People choose profession according to their own interests and abilities. And the most important thing is to understand what exactly you want to do and enter the university according to the sphere of your choice: whether it is medicine, economy, machinery or humanities. But what I fully support is the idea of having a good education.
Today young people think that having a good education is very important. Do you agree with them?
Certainly I do. Our today’s modem world needs qualified people in all the spheres of life. Those people, who think that having a good education is not very important, have their own plans. Some girls want to be good mothers and have big families. Other people think that manual professions do not need a good education. In this case they are mistaken. To my mind all professions need special education. Nowadays only highly qualified workers can deal with rather sophisticated equipment and computers. Sure, there are talented people, but to my mind, all the gifts should be developed and supported by education and by more experienced people.

Let’s talk about the environment.
People say that our planet is in danger. Do you share this opinion?
Environment is the nature around us: air, water, trees, flowers, animals, birds and insects. Nature has served people for many years, but people’s interference in nature has increased and the results are dramatic. Nowadays mankind faces numerous problems which threaten our environment.
Among the most urgent problems are the ozone layer destruction, acid rains, global warming, air pollution, soil pollution, contamination of underground waters by chemical elements, disappearance of forests, animal extinction, etc.
The poisoning of the world’s land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilization. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes and floods, but it is potentially one of history’s greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable.

Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become extinct twenty years from now.
Industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substances. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains. An even greater environmental threat comes from nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
