We put on our skis again. And Dzakhov immediately began to fall. He even falls out of the blue. If Putka's leg did not hurt, we would laugh at Dzakhov. But now, of course, not before.
Why are you falling? I asked.
Never went skiing, - said Dzakhov. - We can't go skiing! There is almost no snow.
How is it - no? - we asked Dima. - Where is it with you?
Dzakhov then told everything about himself.
He used to live in the south. In the city of Ordzhonikidze. His grandfather has his own house there. The whole house! The house is stone, and there are no floors at all. Just one floor, like in our house. This is the city! And gardens are growing right in the city. In some shorts you go out - and please apples. Or even pears. But lingonberries are not there. Even in the store. And trolleybuses don't run. Everybody rides a tram. Dzakhov never saw a trolleybus.
Are there any lakes? - asked Dimka.
And there are no lakes in Ordzhonikidze. There is one somewhere outside the city, but it is not real. His people are made to swim. There is also Terek, and it growls.
Is Terek your dog? I asked.
But Dzakhov said that it was not a dog at all, it was a river. It flows from the mountains. So stormy, horror. Even growls! That is, it makes a lot of noise. You can't even wash your feet in it, just stick your leg in - and you can immediately drown. A very fast flow.
And in winter? - we asked Dima.
Then we understood why Dzakhov had come here. They have no snow in Ordzhonikidze in winter. It will drop out a little and immediately melt.
But there is snow in the mountains, - said Dzakhov.
I immediately remembered the dog that saved forty people. I thought Dzakhov knew her. But he hadn't even heard of her. He said that there are many mountains and many dogs. She probably lives there, this dog. Only they have never met.
What's so strange about that? Von Dzakhov has been living in a two-story house for a long time, but we have never seen him. And he didn't see us. That is why he became friends with Kolya. He thought Kolya was good. And he hit Putka with a stick. If Dzakhov had known, he would not even have spoken to Kolya.
Now he will complain to your mother, - said Dimka.
But Dzakhov's mother, it turns out, does not. And dad does not listen to any complaints. He says that men should sort it out among themselves. Dzakhov's father has no time, he has experiments. The equipment is modern here, so they moved here. Grandpa even cried when they left. He has his own house, and they left.
And why is your name - Dzakhov? - asked Dimka.
This is not a name, - said Dzakhov, - this is a surname. And the name is Elbrus, Elbrus Dzakhov.
Dimka and I were completely surprised. If only Zhenya. Or Genka. And then - Elbrus. There is no such name.
But Dzakhov explained that this is the name of the mountain. Elbrus. High! Above all. His grandfather climbed Elbrus. He almost died there. Very cool. You can't even sit down - such a mountain. Grandpa was sleeping there. And then he said that he would call his grandson Elbrus. If he returns home and does not die. He, of course, returned, and Dzakhov was named Elbrus.
Are you a grandson? - asked Dimka.
Uh-huh, - said Dzakhov.
And now our home. I quickly opened the door. The way was walking on three legs. Very tired. We laid him down on the sofa. He did not allow to touch this leg, it hurts so much. Dimka said that the injection would have to be done. Anesthetic.
And then my mother came. We told her how Putka protected us. Dzakhov showed his mother a felt boot, almost with a hole. This is what a faithful Way!
Mom must have felt ashamed. She wanted to trade Putka for a bulldog. Therefore, she did not swear that Putka was lying on the couch. She poured him milk.
But Putka refused milk. He just wagged his tail a little and closed his eyes.
And the nose is dry, ”Mom said.
Her nose upset her most. If a person has a dry nose, this is, of course, good. But for a dog - no good. Since the nose is dry and hot, it means that Putka is ill.
Mom said that she would treat him herself. She always heals me. Putka moaned a little, but gave his mother a leg, even allowed him to touch it. Only very frowned. Painfully!
Then my mother made Putka a compress. She said that there was nothing wrong, just a severe bruise. Of course, a bruise! We've all seen. He hurt him with a stick.
Give me an enemy now, - said Dzakhov.
Dimka and I showed Dzakhov our secret - a wooden boy in the attic. The three of us decided to guard the boy. Dzakhov has muscles, and Dimka has muscles. And I scratch great, Dzakhov thinks so. I rushed so boldly at Kolya!
Putka fell asleep on the sofa. And we sat next to him, quietly, watching him breathe. He breathed calmly, snored a little.
Now he’ll get better, ”Mom said.
Zhuravleva Zoya Evgenievna
20 VIII 1935 – 26 III 2011
- Member of the Board of the IOO ZhNO
- Writer, author of more than 20 novels, short stories, screenplays
- Chairman of the Conference Organizing Committee ""
- Chief editor of the newspaper "Lady Luck"
Zoya Zhuravleva was one of the pillars of our scientific and educational community, the foundation of which was laid by the Association "Women in Science and Education".
She was a great writer and a passionate person, she felt and understood the Word extremely sensitively and subtly. Zoya has written more than 20 stories and novels, for children and adults, many articles and essays, editor-compiler of books about Potemkin and S.P. Kurdyumov. Most of the things she wrote are presented on the website www.spkurdyumov.narod.ru.
Analysis and understanding of what she wrote is still ahead, and we will definitely make a book dedicated to her life and work.
Zoya was the organizer of conferences "", led the annual round table "Cultural space of Russia" at conferences "", often spoke at various conferences and on the radio, was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper of the Association "Women in Science and Education".
We have collected articles by Zoya Zhuravleva, which began each issue of the newspaper "Ms. Luck" and some materials about her work.
A large part of the life of the Association is connected with the newspaper "Ms. Luck", the 7 issues of which have played a huge role in uniting our community. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is our favorite writer from St. Petersburg Zoya Zhuravleva. Perhaps not everyone knows this (she never talks about it), but Zoya is the author of more than 20 novels and novellas, among them the intellectual bestseller "A romance with a hero - a congruent romance with oneself", which was sensational at the end of the 80s of the XX century. Whole generations of Soviet children grew up on her children's books "Somersault", "Take off the shell, turtle", "Putka" and others, published in millions of copies.
Unlike most of the members of our Association - natural scientists and teachers, Zoya is a person of the artistic elite. It is she who organizes conferences "", brings writers, artists, actors and directors to our conferences. At her invitation, Zoya Zhuravleva's friend Gennady Abramov, a completely non-standard, world-class and world-famous ballet master, came to the conference several times. Students and actors begin to work for him where all physical laws end. Several times we started conferences in Suzdal with his performances. Thanks to Zoya Zhuravleva, her friend, academician, one of the legendary creators of Soviet spacecraft Boris Viktorovich Raushenbakh spoke twice at conferences. In the last years of B.V. Rauschenbach headed the department at Phystech, wrote such books as "Perspective in Painting", historical and philosophical works, was the chairman of the Russian-German Society. His performances and communication with him was an unforgettable experience for many of our participants. Zoya brings to the conference a unique children's collective - the theatrical studio "Rostok", headed by Elena Valentinovna Ivanova, who has been running this studio for over 25 years.
People of artistic culture - directors, artists, philosophers, art critics, as well as teachers of the Russian language and literature - are grouped around Zoya.
At winter conferences "" Zoya leads the traditional round table "Cultural Space of Russia". At many conferences, she delivered reports on culture, language, poetry. Her report on Brodsky aroused interest in his work even among people far from such subtle matters as poetry.
People are drawn to Zoya Zhuravleva for human culture. Her personality, manner of speaking, paradoxical judgments, humor, lively interest in everything around her irresistibly attracts, her interest in people, in turn, attracts people to her. Her grades are very important to those around her. Her praise, her approval is just inspiring. And sometimes her uncompromising and harsh judgments make you think and overestimate many things.
It is undoubtedly the center of the Association's cultural life.
She received a certificate from Harvard University - A Collaborative Process to Improve Learning and Teaching. This course includes a program for identifying and analyzing student errors developed by Harvard professors, as well as a detailed, step-by-step plan for eliminating these errors.
I teach classes 7 minutes walk from the metro station ("Sevastopolskaya" / "Chertanovskaya").
In the classroom, we use textbooks only from foreign publishing houses (Oxford, Cambridge, Macmillan). For each student, depending on his level and goals, an individual work plan is drawn up.
The focus of the class is on lively spoken English. When studying English, we watch films in the original with students, we read modern English and American literature in English.
For students of the Pre-Intermediate level and above, classes are conducted in English, with the exception of explaining difficult cases of using grammar. With students with a zero level, we try to gradually move to communication only in English.
Students are highly encouraged to have hobbies and interests. this allows us to immediately find interesting topics for discussion in the classroom and helps to "talk" the student.
I use proven and effective preparation methods to pass my exams successfully.
I have been studying English for about 20 years and throughout this time I have never stopped improving my skills, both in English and in teaching. Twice a year I go to language practice with native speakers (UK) to keep my spoken English at a high level. I also read many books in English on new, effective methods of learning languages, which I am happy to share with my students in the future.
An effective technique for memorizing words has been developed, which allows you to master at least 3000 words and expressions in a year.
