Comments from the winner
Ms. KATAGAI Rio
I chose educational inequality as my topic for this Russian composition and wrote about how Japan and Russia can cooperate in order to resolve this issue. I was extremely careful with the wording, looking up all the words in the dictionary and making sure I was using them correctly while also checking for grammar mistakes. Although I was unable to go study abroad in Russia due to the pandemic, I am extremely happy to have been able to win this competition. I plan to continue working hard on my Russian.
