English Composition
The Language 360 Method English audio composition consists of the entire audio file in English only.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
The language learner must:
- use the English-only composition as a cue to vocally or mentally recall specific Russian words and phrases, with an emphasis on how ideas are expressed in Russian, and
- continuously strive to formulate one's own speech from the Russian words, phrases and grammar constructions of the composition.

It was twelve o'clock at night.
Mitya Kuldarov, with excited face and ruffled hair, flew into his parents' flat, and hurriedly ran through all the rooms. His parents had already gone to bed. His sister was in bed, finishing the last page of a novel. His schoolboy brothers were asleep.

Mitya laughed and sank into an armchair, so overcome by happiness that he could not stand on his legs.

“It's because I am so delighted, Mamma! Do you know, now all Russia knows of me! All Russia! Till now only you knew that there was a registration clerk called Dmitry Kuldarov, and now all Russia knows it!"
