Russian and English films and literature

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

My question is not about learning russian or english, it is more about the cultural difference.

Last Tuesday I have seen a film on TV, the british version of our classics Eugeny Onegin.

It is a very strange film. It is so very close to the book and yet so very far from it.
Starting from the fact it is in prose and the original is a poem, and all screen a theatrical adaptaions I have seen before are operas.
And the accents, the emphasis are made differently to those that are felt when you read the poem Евгений Онегин Александра Сергеевича Пушкина.

And I must therefore ask a question. Do you, dear russian-learners, feel the same when you watch our adaptations of your classics?

Hi guys. Can someone help me with my homework? I've finished it but I think it still needs to be checked over.

A. Here, I have to fill in the blanks with the appropriate case endings. (My answers are underlined.) On the answers that are incorrect, can you tell me why they are incorrect and why the correct answer is correct. I appreciate any help at all.

1. Миша живет на четверте этаже
2. Ты знаешь наш? преподавателе.
3. Здесь нет хорошо артеки.
4. Этот студент живет в нашем доме, а тот в общежитии.
5. У моей соседа новая машина.
6. О какая опера вы говоритe?
7. Это замечательная статья. Ты ее читала?
8. Где мой рукзак? Ты его не видишь?

B. Here, I had to write a composition of 7-8 sentences. Nevermind that the paragraph seems disjointed.. I'm only in my first month of instruction, so the instructor doesn't expect cohesion yet. This part is a little rough. : /

Меня зовут Зарла (Williams). Я живу в городе Хюстон (Houston... Is this the correct spelling?). Я учусь литература у тоже русски яезык. Я так люблю учусь русски яезык. Теперь, я живу на квартира на Дрискол Улице (Driscoll St. Does "Driscoll" change?) У думаю что у меня очень симпатичние соседи. Я люблю пью кофе на кафе.
