1) Watch the video and write an extended answer to the question «Are typical Russians unfriendly?» Do you agree with the reasons given in the video which explain why Russians often seem unfriendly to Americans?   2) Read the essays by Russian students about Russian values and make a list of these values (there may be mistakes in the essays, so read them for ideas, not as sample essays). Can you add some more ideas?

• Russian Values (sample monologue 1 by a student)
• Russian Values (sample monologue 2 by a student)
• Russian Values (sample monologue 3 by a student)
• Russian Values (sample monologue 4a by a student)
• Russian Values (sample monologue 4b by a student)

3) Write a monologue «Russian Values» using the phrases and expressions from the video and the ideas from the students’ essays as well as your own ones.
