"Town. Law. Youth” was the name of the intellectual game that was held on March 16 in the premises of the South Ural State University. It was the final game where we – Grade 10 students – played competing with other teams from 6 different schools. The first game was in November 2010.

 We had to do some kind of homework – a short video encouraging to a healthy way of life. Our video was about one wrong day from the life of a student. This video with Vadim Nurislamov starring as a careless student directed and made by Eugenia Tukbaeva was kind of ironic illustration that gave an opportunity to draw attention to some bad habits and contained some funny moments. The competition panel liked our video and gave us high scores.

 As for the game, it was really difficult to give a proper answer to the questions, especially those about the history of Zlatoust. We had to be really quick to choose the right one out of many options. The process of brainstorming was very exciting. After a short break we were surprised to hear the host announcing that there were 3 more questions for school No 2 and school No 25. We had to compete for the first place. Our choice was correct and we won! We were so happy that we yelled and applauded with excitement expressing our feelings.

 We won the cup and were given some small presents from a sponsor company. But it is not the end of the story yet, because every interested person can make a video or a poster promoting a healthy way of life. The winner will get a camera (for a poster) or video camera (for a short video). I hope some of my friends will be lucky to win the prize!
