A. Table tennis is a ball game similar in principle to lawn tennis. It’s played on
a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed across its width at the
middle. The task is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on
the opponent’s half of the table in such a way that the opponent cannot reach
it or return it correctly. The lightweight hollow ball is propelled back and forth
across the net by small rackets. The game is popular all over the world,
among people of different age.
B. Table tennis is a relatively young sport. In fact, it was invented in England
in the early days of the 20th century and was originally called Ping-Pong. The
name “table tennis” was adopted in 1921 or 1922 when the old Ping-Pong
Association formed in 1902 was revived. Led by representatives of Germany,
Hungary, and England, the International Table Tennis Federation was founded
in 1926. By the mid-1990s more than 165 national associations were the
members of this association.
C. Table tennis is really a sport for everyone. You don’t need to spend much
money or buy many things to play table tennis. The table is rectangular, 9 feet
by 5 feet, its upper surface a level plane 30 inches above the floor. The net is
6 feet long, and its upper edge along the whole length is 6 inches above the
playing surface. The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of
white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The
racket may be any size, weight, or shape.

6.

D. It’s easy to understand how tennis is played. A tennis match consists of the
best of any odd numbers of games, each game being won by the player who
first reaches 11 points or who, after 10 points each, wins two clear points
ahead. A point is scored when the server fails to make a good service, when
either player fails to make a good return, or when either player commits a
specified infraction. Service changes hands after every two points until 10-all
is reached, when it changes after every subsequent point.
E. Table tennis may be played with one player at each end of the table or with
two players at each end who may be both men or both women or one of
each. Worldwide, the women’s game is comparable in organization to the
men’s, and women take part in world championships and all other organized
events. The first female tournament took place in 1909, but women are
known to have been playing tennis since 1874, which is obvious from old
pictures and photos which survived the test of time.
F. The first world championships were held in London in 1927, and from then
until 1939 the game was dominated by players from central Europe, the
men’s team event being won nine times by Hungary and twice by
Czechoslovakia. In the mid-1950s Asia emerged as a breeding ground of
champions, and from that time the men’s team event has been won by either
Japan or China, as has the women’s event, though to a lesser extent; North
Korea also became an international force.
G. People eagerly come to the stadiums to see a game of tennis live or
switch on their TVs when an exciting match is on. The interest to the
spectator lies in observing the ability of one player to defeat another by some
well-thought-out strategy. Increasing the speed of the game, slowing it down,
varying the direction of or imparting different spin or pace to the ball are just
some of the tactics that may be used to support the strategy planned by a
sportsman. Thus, a game of tennis can be a real show.

What I learned about Russians
People’s first question when they hear that I’ve just returned from a winter in Moscow
is usually: “What on earth drove you to go there?” The answer is not an easy one. I
landed at Sheremetyevo Airport in January with dreams of balalaikas, samovars and
golden domed churches. It did not take me long to realize that living in Moscow was
less about folklore and literary romanticisms and more about surviving a harsh
climate and an arduous routine.
When I, looking for work, contacted Dasha, our family friend, she instantly wrote
back saying that her family would love to take me on as an au pair. An au pair is
someone, usually a young woman, who lives with a family in a foreign country and
helps with the children and housework in exchange for the opportunity to learn the
language. So for 3,000 rubles a week, I was to care for Dasha’s children, Sonya, 3,
and Lyova, 2, and teach her husband Valera English.
The family lived in a small apartment in Zheleznodorozhny, an industrial town 21
kilometers east of Moscow. The apartment was also home to Dasha’s elder brother
and a dog and a rabbit. The place was never quiet, and there’s certainly no room for
secrets.
With so many families wanting their children to learn English, native English teachers
are very much in demand and are paid handsomely. Subsequently, I soon found
myself braving the commuter trains into the Moscow outskirts to teach a group of
Dasha’s colleagues. But for a young family living off a modest salary in
Zheleznodorozhny, employing an English girl was a real innovation.
Au pairing was a novelty for me, too. My attitude toward children has never been
particularly positive, but Sonya and Lyova were adorable. I instantly fell for their
miniature hands, infectious laughter and funny little walks.
The arrival of an English nanny in the area did not go unnoticed. People’s reactions
at my lack of comprehension were mixed. Some were impatient, others were kind
and helpful. Indeed, the language barrier was an obstacle for some time.

9.

This irritation, however, did not exist with the children. They accepted me, with my funny
accent and tea-and-milk quirks, for what I was: their nanny. They didn’t care if it took me
10 minutes to read them a sentence from their favorite storybook. Nor did they
particularly mind if I gave them sausages when they’d asked for ice cream.
On the surface, living with a Russian family was quite different from living with an
English one. Together, we celebrated the spring festival of Maslenitsa and other national
holidays such as Women’s Day. I ate copious amounts of pelmeni, caviar and blini. My
Russian family interacted like any other family. They had their arguments and conflicts
and squabbles. But they also loved each other unconditionally and worked tirelessly to
provide and protect. It was such a privilege to be welcomed into such a lovely and
generous family.
I left them in April in heavy tears and with promises to join them next summer. Through
them, I was able to experience the real Moscow region, not the shiny version of Moscow
that most people see within the limits of the Garden Ring. I witnessed the daily
hardships that normal people endure with indifference.
Most important, I had the chance to separate stereotype from reality. I concluded that
Russia has its share of absurdities but that the typical Russian is not that different. He’s
just a little stronger.
