My first post



So, I have successfully created my blog.

Some words about myself. My name is Ilya Shishkov. I am from Russia and live in Orel. I am 22. About my interests.

I have two passions - basketball and programming. I have been going in for basketball for 12 years since I was 7. That was wonderful time. I have found many friends on a basketball court. Now I just sometimes play basketball. But I keep an eye on NBA Championship and try to learn as much information about it as I can.

The other thing I do love is programming. I have taken part in ACM ICPC World Finals for 2 times in 2007 and 2008. The best achivement of our team was the 13th place on the Finals in 2008. I participated in TopCoder Algorithm competitions.

The main thing I want to tell about is why I've created the blog. My goal is to practice in English. I can say that I understand many different English texts. But I have problems with understanding of a speech and creating sentences. So I want to make posts and want people to read them and correct my mistakes. Of course I will be glad to discuss the stuff I post.

So there is the first my post. And now I'm waiting for comments :)
