If you could change one important thing about your country, what would you change?
I think I would change the mindset of the people. I would make them more responsible and caring about the world around us. And I think I wcould do that by changing the educational system. It is very important to be educated, and I believe, that being educated doesn’t mean knowing everything by heart, no. It is aboutknowing about the world around us, about the society, learning the subjects you are interested in most and be actually able to use your knowlegde.
I truly believe that education is the start of everything.
Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land?
I think I would create a green space, like a park. Because it is good for both humanity and nature: it is good for enviorment, and also good for people, because nature is good for our physical and mental health.
Also, if it would be possible, I think I would build a small cafe that would look like a cute, warm cottage. It would have some good music and it would smell like a bread all the day.
Technology has made the world a better place to live. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
I think both. Our lives became easier, now, we have an access to have a lot of information and lern a lot of things and it is great. But from the other side, we are drowning in lots of information, we become addicted to it and we became less concentrated.
You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks. Which country would you like to visit? Why?
Japan, I think. I’ve been studying Japanese for almost 6 years and I’m totally in love with the language and the country, people, culture. I’ve studied a lot about it, and I really think that Japan is a very unique place and I dream about visiting it. Because, finally, I’ll be able to see in real life the country I have been teaching about for so many years.
