III. Free Writing Yоu hаve been invited tо write аn аrticle fоr the student newspaper at the Russian university where you are enrolled for your study abroad program. The topic is romantic relationships, and the editor asked you to detail the history of a relationship – you may choose to write about a famous couple, or some of your friends, schoolmates, or family members, or even about your own relationship. Start with the background – how did these people encounter each other, what did they like about each other, what was their life situation at the time? What is it that they were hoping for (what did they want to happen)? Did they end up forming a family, and if so, did they have children? Include a description of how they look (or looked),  like, and some personality traits, and how they compared to each other. Are they still together? If not, why did they separate? An important part of telling such a story, that the editor will pay great attention to, is setting up a time frame. Use at least 4-5 of the expressions you learned in part 3 of chapter 1 (e.g. the Russian equivalents of “at first”, “at that time”, “in a few weeks/months”, “again”, “right away”, “suddenly”, “eventually” etc.) to build your story.   Content                                    /30 Organization                            /20 Vocabulary                              /20 Language Use                          /25 Mechanics                               /5   Total score:_________________
