some words from Russian student DANIIL POPOV

•To Whom It May Concern: 

•Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Daniil Popov and I’m a fourth-year-student at the Perm State Pedagogical University in Russia. I’m writing to you on behalf of our faculty to express our sincere gratitude for arranging the Kerinsnaumov International translation prize, such a wonderful, important and beneficial contest which does give us (students of our faculty) a decent opportunity to understand the English language in a better and more profound way, to try ourselves in the field of translation and definitely to broaden our world outlook. All this is achieved due to a number of reasons and one of the key ones is that you provide us with up-to-date texts which are very interesting to read and then translate. What is more, a lot of acute issues concerning our world are tackled there and that is what makes texts more attractive. They give us food for thought and as a result we begin drawing our attention to some aspects of our everyday life which previously have lacked our consideration. Students become more and more aware of what is happening in society.

I cannot but mention the fact that winners may display their knowledge and skills in the best way possible and obtain some money for their work or probably I should use the word art because translation IS a kind of art. It goes without saying that financial part of this contest also becomes a great incentive to work harder.  I myself won the prize for the best translation of the text “Sexual Health” and indeed I was happy to participate in the competition as well as to excel in it.

Also, I would like thank you for organizing such a nice team of people who are very kind and amicable. Special thanks goes to Michael Kerins who comes to Russia every year. Alone or with a group of people it does not matter in fact, however the atmosphere which is created every time is something (now I’m very sorry for being informal, but I DO need these words) terrific, magnificent and unforgettable because we may talk to native speakers and improve our English!

Thank you for holding the contest one more time and we look forward to working with you over and over again.


Yours faithfully,

Daniil Popov
