对我来说，汉语就像美妙的音符一样一直萦绕在我的耳边。我在莫斯科有许多中国朋友，很喜欢用汉语和他们沟通。我将来想成为优秀的同声翻译员，对中俄关系做出积极的贡献。

说起中国文化，据我所知已有五千年的历史。中华文化博大精深，源远流长。中华传统文化是文明的结晶，通过学习中华传统文化，不仅可以更好地了解中国民族性格的特征，而且可以感悟到汉字深厚底蕴，可以感悟到汉语的魅力。作为新中国成立后兴办的第一所高等外语学府，上外在中国教育史上有着不可撼动的重要地位。我很想掌握在上外就读这种体验，开阔自己的视野，增长中国传统文化方面的知识。

Considering that China is attaining global influence, it is thus important to learn the culture of the country to avoid conflict and shallow stereotyping, as well as to learn what China has done to become successful at the individual and spiritual level. I believe that it is values such as that of the Confucian Ren, that has inspired many to be public servants to society and has made the country thrive.
