Advantages and disadvantages of distance education.

There are different ways of education. One of them is a distance education. As every way of education it has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of distance education are: The first and the most important is that you are free from serving in army. Second reason to go to study distance education is a lot of free time. This is good for guys because they can work and study at the same time. The second advantage is that you may study by internet. The third argument in favor of distance education is that it is easier to pass the entrance exams.

Disadvantages of distance education are: Distance education needs to much pay for study. Study program is difficulty then on correspondence education and even lot of free time can not help when you have 8-hours work per day. Third disadvantage is that different discipline consultations.

I really do not know was it a good idea to go to study distance education. But I pay money and already study for a half year. Also I get some work experience during that time. May be it was something like fate. But I think studying distance education needs a work with a lot of free time.

Sport

"My favourite kind of sport"

The only sport I ever did for some time was a historical fencing. But even it I did for a short time.

There are different fencing sports. Most popular are classic fencing, Japanese ken-do and historical fencing.

Why it is important? Classic fencing trains your reaction and dexterity. It may be useful as all light athletic sport. Ken-do is useful for nerves , because it consists of many rituals and strong rules how to moving and attack. It also has special rules in combat like a hitting in only stomach head and arms. Of course it is useful for health. Historical fencing improve your endurance and also gives a lot of adrenaline. Historical fencing has many ways itself, but the ones that can be taking as sport are tournaments and buhurts. Buhurt is a massive team combat with a goal to stand on your feet or you loose. It requires most quality armor, because it is very traumatic and so very extreme. Tournaments need some lighter armor to be faster, but even a chip equipment will coast for a twenty thousands rubles as most kind of sport. That is one of the reasons why I only began to go to fence trainings and left it. Most great fighter for opinion of Perm clubs of historical fighting is hundred and twenty kilo weight Sergey Ukolov from Moscow club “Bayard”.

What I personally get from this spot is a broken finger.

My favorite national cuisine

My favorite national cuisine and the recepe of my favorite dish

My favorite cuisine is Russian. Russian cuisine is famous for it’s rich and varied character from the large multicultural expanse of Russia. Its foundations were laid by the peasant food adaptive, as usually, to harsh climate, with a combination of fish, bread, mushrooms, berries, and honey. Crops of rye, wheat, barley, and millet provided the ingredients for a lot of breads, pancakes, kvass, beer, and vodka. Flavorful soups and stews based on seasonal or storable produce, fish, and meat.

Most important reason for why I prefer Russian cuisine is that my stomach is used to my native cuisine. Russian cuisine is one of the most popular and widely spread in the world. French cuisine is festive and elegant, Chinese cuisine is exotic, Russian cuisine is healthy and delicious. Russian dishes are easy to cook and they do not demand much skill and special ingredients, they do not need exotic equipment and tool and everybody who knows how to hold a cooking knife and how to peel potatoes can cook delicious Russian dishes.

Most every restaurants and cafes in Perm serve it.

My favorite dish is blini. The recipe of my favorite dish: Take one liter of kefir, 2 medium spoons of sugar, one medium spoon of salt, a half of the small spoon of baking powder, half-liter of water, 3 standard glasses of flour, some butter or cooking oil. Then mix it with blender. Hit the frying-pan, add frying oil. Then fry until it became solid.
