Have you ever thought about what people in other countries read? Especially if they are from a non-English speaking country. Do they read translations of English books or do they prefer books in their own language set in their own culture? Are John Green and Suzanne Collins as popular in Russia as they are in New Zealand?
At our next Wrappers meeting we will get a chance to answer these questions. We'll talk via Skype with some teenagers in Russia. What do you know about Russian culture? The questions for this month's prize draw relate to some well know people or items from Russia.
How many of these symbols do you know?
Matryoshka dolls
The Kremlin
Tchaikovsky
Red Square
Cheburashka
Maria Sharapova
Leo Tolstoy
balalaika
vodka
troika
Count the number you know (be prepared to explain them!), fill in your answer on the Google Form below and be in to win a brand new book. Open to Kāpiti District residents only. The
winner will be drawn at the next Wrappers meeting on Friday 4 March.
