The food and the language in Russia is much harder and
worst. Most of the people in Russia speak Russian and it is a
very hard language because there is not many people use it
around the world. According to The Most Ten website (2015),
“Roughly 260 million people around the world can speak
Russian” This is a big number but most of the Russian speakers
are in Russia. Also, according to BBC (2014), “There are over
100 minority languages spoken in Russia today” That will make
the connection with the people their very hard. Russian food is
not popular in other countries because most of the dishes are
very traditional. Also, Russia does not have many different
kinds of restaurants and that because there are no many

3. international immigrants and citizens. That will be hard for the
people who did not like the Russian food to live in Russia.

structure.

effect. For example, "So it will be hard…" Comment by

Third, The media is very important for every country
because it shows how the country improved and what happened
recently. The media always reflects the culture of the country
because it shows us how the people think and what they like and
do not like. According to the Home of the Daily and Sunday
Express (2013), “Around 24 billion newspapers are published
around the world every year”. This is a big number of
newspapers and that shows how the newspapers are important.
The US is one of the most powerful countries in the world in
newspapers. They have a large amount of newspaper that post
everyday. According to and many people read it around the

5. world. Also, they can present their ideas for the entire world.
Russian newspapers are not popular as the US newspapers
because two reasons. First, they use the Russian language and
there are not many people speak Russian in the world. Second,
they do not have the strong and correct sources and this mean
that most of the news are not true. These two reasons show why
the Russian newspapers are weak and not popular. Comment by

the entertainment they both have a good sports but the sports in
the US is better. The US is better in sports because their sports

people because the weather there is very cold. Third, the media
in the US is much better than Russia and this very important
point because they will get much information about what
happened in their country and the others countries. Comment by
