Mat from Moscow

…Holborn

Mat is 16. He’s in London to improve his English. He’s an engaging and an intelligent young man and a delight to teach.

Mat admires President Putin of Russia.

The way Mat views recent events in Ukraine is markedly different from the way I view them. We discussed things such as the crash in Ukraine of the Malaysian Airlines plane, in which nearly 300 people died. What each of us asserted as the ‘facts’ of this tragedy are contradictory.

We cannot both be right in what we assert but we could both be wrong.
