She continued and tried to restore the real Russia in her own way:” Russians do like Vodka and a bottle usually could not satisfy us; In general, the majority of Russians like Putin since our country’s economy has made progress under his leadership throughout the past years, and in addition, Russia is not as poor as profiled by the media; Winter in Russia is very cold indeed, but not every place is that cold...” The audience acquired a closer understanding of the real Russian society after Julia’s speech.

"你们对俄罗斯的第一印象是什么？”来自俄罗斯的演讲者尤丽亚问道，现场的观众积极响应道：“伏特加！”“普京！”冷”.....被逗笑的尤丽亚接着向观众们还原了俄罗斯的真实模样：“俄罗斯人真的很爱喝伏特加，一般人一杯都喝不够；俄罗斯人民整体还是喜欢普京的，自他上位之后国家整体的经济有所改善，而且现在的俄罗斯并不像媒体宣传的那么穷；俄罗斯冬天确实很冷，但是不是多有地方都那么冷......”大家通过俄罗斯姑娘本人的介绍也更加了解了真实的俄罗斯及其人民的生活状况。

“其实饺子不只是中国的食物，波兰也有自己的饺子。”波兰学生毛鑫和马莎介绍波兰美食时说道：“我们的饺子主要是圣诞美食，既可以用洋葱和黄油煎着吃，还可以蘸酸奶吃。”看着ppt里和中国饺子长得几乎一样的波兰饺子时，台下的观众们发出惊奇的赞叹声。三个乌克兰女孩张亚丽，伊莉娜和刘丽颖也向观众展示了一个美丽独特的乌克兰：“乌克兰的国旗由简单的黄蓝条纹组成，黄色象征着丰收的麦田，蓝色代表天空，所以我们的国旗象征着自由和主权。”在场的观众还了解到了乌克兰的花环，斗士文化等，兴致十足。
