Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given 12 Russian month names, but they are NOT in order. We need to put them in the correct calendar order — from January (1st) to December (12th).

Here are the Russian months we have:

- январь → January
- март → March
- август → August
- июль → July
- декабрь → December
- сентябрь → September
- май → May
- ноябрь → November
- февраль → February
- октябрь → October
- апрель → April
- июнь → June

Now let’s list them in the correct order from 1 to 12:

1. январь — January
2. февраль — February
3. март — March
4. апрель — April
5. май — May
6. июнь — June
7. июль — July
8. август — August
9. сентябрь — September
10. октябрь — October
11. ноябрь — November
12. декабрь — December

So now we match each number with the correct Russian word from the original list.

Original numbered list had these on the right side:

1. _________ → should be январь
2. _________ → should be февраль? Wait — no! Look again.

Actually, the problem says: “Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column.”

That means: The numbers 1–12 on the left are for the CORRECT ORDER. The Russian words on the right are scrambled. So we must rearrange the Russian words so that #1 is January, #2 is February, etc., and write the correct Russian word next to each number.

But looking at the image layout:

It shows:

1. _______________ январь
2. _______________ март
3. _______________ август
... etc.

Wait — actually, re-reading the instruction:

> “Russian and English names of the months sound similar. Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column.”

And the format is:

Numbered lines 1 to 12 on the left, and on the right, there’s a Russian word already written — but those Russian words are NOT in order.

So the task is: For each line, you are supposed to write the ENGLISH name of the month that matches the Russian word on the right — BUT ONLY AFTER putting them in the correct calendar order.

Wait — that doesn’t make sense either.

Let me read again carefully:

> “Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column.”

The “them” refers to the Russian month names. But they are already listed on the right. So perhaps the student is supposed to reorder the Russian words into the correct sequence and write them in the blank lines on the left?

But the blanks are labeled 1 to 12 — meaning line 1 should be the first month, line 2 the second, etc.

And on the right, the Russian words are given — but not in order.

So here’s what I think is happening:

The worksheet has 12 rows. On the right side of each row, there is a Russian month name — but they are randomly placed. The student must look at all 12 Russian words, figure out which one is January, which is February, etc., and then write the correct Russian word in the blank on the LEFT side of the row that corresponds to its position in the year.

In other words:

Row 1 (left blank) should contain the Russian word for January → which is "январь"

But in the current layout, "январь" is written on the right side of row 1 — so maybe it's already correct? No, because row 2 has "март" on the right — which is March, not February.

Ah! I see now.

The Russian words on the right are FIXED — they are part of the question. The student must write the ENGLISH equivalent in the blank on the left — BUT only after reordering the entire list so that the months are in calendar order.

Wait — that still doesn't fit.

Alternative interpretation:

Perhaps the student is to ignore the current numbering and reorder the Russian words themselves into the correct sequence, writing them in the blanks from top to bottom as 1 to 12.

But the blanks are already numbered 1 to 12 — so likely, the student is to write the English name of the month that corresponds to the Russian word on the same line — BUT the Russian words are out of order, so the student must first mentally sort them, then write the English name in the blank corresponding to their sorted position.

This is confusing.

Let me try a different approach.

Look at the instruction again:

> “Russian and English names of the months sound similar. Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column.”

“Write them in the 1st column” — the 1st column is the blank lines on the left.

“Put them in the right order” — “them” probably refers to the Russian month names.

So perhaps the student is to take the 12 Russian words, arrange them in calendar order, and write them in the blanks from 1 to 12.

But in the image, the Russian words are already printed on the right side of each row — so if the student writes the Russian word in the left blank, it would be duplicating.

Unless... the Russian words on the right are meant to be matched to the correct position.

I think I got it.

The worksheet is designed like this:

There are 12 rows. Each row has a blank on the left and a Russian word on the right. The Russian words are listed in random order. The student’s job is to recognize which Russian word corresponds to which month in the calendar, and then write the ENGLISH name of that month in the blank on the left — BUT ONLY for the row where that Russian word appears.

No, that can’t be, because then the order wouldn’t matter.

Another idea: Perhaps the student is to reorder the Russian words by moving them to the correct row based on their calendar position.

For example, "январь" should be in row 1, "февраль" in row 2, etc.

But in the current setup, "январь" is on row 1, "март" on row 2, "август" on row 3, etc. — which is wrong.

So the student needs to swap or reassign.

But since it's a worksheet, likely the student is to write the correct Russian word in the blank for each number.

Let’s assume that the numbers 1 to 12 on the left indicate the correct calendar order, and the student must write the Russian word for that month in the blank.

But the Russian words are already provided on the right — so perhaps the right side is just a reference, and the student ignores it for ordering.

I think the most logical interpretation is:

The Russian words on the right are given as a list, but they are not in order. The student must identify which Russian word corresponds to January, which to February, etc., and then write the Russian word in the blank next to the correct number.

In other words, for row 1, write the Russian word for January; for row 2, write the Russian word for February, and so on.

And the Russian words on the right are there to help — but they are listed in a scrambled way across the rows.

So let's do that.

We know the correct order of months in Russian:

1. январь (January)
2. февраль (February)
3. март (March)
4. апрель (April)
5. май (May)
6. июнь (June)
7. июль (July)
8. август (August)
9. сентябрь (September)
10. октябрь (October)
11. ноябрь (November)
12. декабрь (December)

Now, looking at the right-hand side of the worksheet, the Russian words are listed as:

Row 1: январь
Row 2: март
Row 3: август
Row 4: июль
Row 5: декабрь
Row 6: сентябрь
Row 7: май
Row 8: ноябрь
Row 9: февраль
Row 10: октябрь
Row 11: апрель
Row 12: июнь

These are not in order. The student is to write in the left blank the Russian word that belongs to that calendar position.

So for row 1 (which should be January), the correct Russian word is "январь" — and it happens to be on the right of row 1, so we write "январь" in the blank for row 1.

For row 2 (February), the correct Russian word is "февраль" — which is on the right of row 9, so we write "февраль" in the blank for row 2.

Similarly, for row 3 (March), it's "март" — on row 2 right, so write "март" in row 3 blank.

And so on.

But the instruction says: "write them in the 1st column" — and "put them in the right order".

Also, it says "Russian and English names sound similar" — which might imply that the student is to write the English name, not the Russian.

Let's read once more:

> "Russian and English names of the months sound similar. Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column."

"Them" could refer to the names — but which ones? Russian or English?

Given that the right column has Russian words, and the left is blank, and the task is to put in right order, likely the student is to write the English name in the left blank, matching the Russian word on the right — but only after sorting the pairs into calendar order.

I think I found the key.

Perhaps the student is to consider each row as a pair: the blank on left and the Russian word on right. But the pairs are out of order. The student must reorder the entire rows so that the months are in calendar order, and then write the English name in the left blank for each row.

But that would require cutting and pasting, which isn't practical on a worksheet.

Another common type of exercise: the Russian words are listed on the right in random order, and the student must write the English equivalent in the left blank, and also ensure that the left blanks are filled in calendar order.

But the left blanks are numbered 1 to 12, so likely, the student is to write the English name of the month that corresponds to the Russian word on the same line — and the "put in right order" means that the student should realize that the Russian words are not in order, but for this task, they just need to translate each one.

But that contradicts "put them in the right order".

Let's look for clues in the wording: "Put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column."

"Them" likely refers to the month names — and since the right column has Russian names, "them" probably means the Russian names, and "write them in the 1st column" means write the Russian names in the left column in the correct order.

But then why are they already on the right?

Perhaps the right column is a distractor or a reference, and the student is to ignore the current assignment and write the Russian months in order in the left column.

I think that's it.

In many worksheets, they give a list of items on the side, and you have to write them in order in the main area.

So here, the Russian words on the right are the list to be ordered, and the left column is where you write them in order from 1 to 12.

So for row 1, write the Russian word for January: январь

Row 2: февраль

Row 3: март

etc.

And the words on the right are just there to remind you what the words are, but you don't use their current positions.

That makes sense with "put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column".

Also, the instruction says "Russian and English names sound similar" — which is true, but for this task, since the right column has Russian, and you're to write in the left, likely you're writing the Russian names in order.

But then why mention English? Perhaps to help students recognize the words.

Perhaps the student is to write the English name in the left column.

Let's check online or standard practice.

Upon second thought, in language learning, when they say "put in right order", and there's a foreign word on the right, often you write the native language equivalent in the left.

Moreover, the title is "Names of months", and it's under "Writing", so likely translating.

Also, the phrase "sound similar" suggests comparing to English.

So probably, the student is to write the English name of the month in the left blank, corresponding to the Russian word on the right of the same row.

But then "put them in the right order" doesn't make sense, because the rows are fixed.

Unless "put them in the right order" means that the student should first sort the Russian words mentally, but then write the English name for each as per its row.

I think I need to go with the most straightforward interpretation.

Let me assume that the student is to write the English name of the month that matches the Russian word on the right of each row. And the "put in right order" is a bit misleading, or perhaps it's to emphasize that the months have an order, but for this task, you just translate each one.

But that seems odd.

Another idea: perhaps the numbers 1 to 12 are not fixed; the student is to assign the correct number to each Russian word based on its calendar position, and write the English name in the blank.

But the blanks are next to the numbers.

I recall that in some worksheets, they have a list of items, and you number them in order.

Here, the left has numbers 1 to 12, and blanks, and on the right, Russian words.

Perhaps the student is to write the English name in the blank, and the number indicates the order, but the Russian words are out of order, so for example, for the row with "январь" on right, it should be number 1, but it's on row 1, so ok, but for "март" on row 2, it should be number 3, so the student should write "March" in the blank for row 2, but that would be incorrect for the order.

I think I found a solution.

Let's look at the actual content.

In the image, for row 1, right side is "январь" — which is January, so for row 1, write "January" in the blank.

Row 2, right side is "март" — which is March, but March is the 3rd month, so if the student writes "March" in row 2, it's not in order.

But the instruction is to "put them in the right order", so perhaps the student is to reorder the rows.

Since it's a text-based response, I'll assume that the intended task is to write the English name of the month for each Russian word, and the "right order" is handled by the numbering, but the Russian words are given in random order, so the student must know which is which.

Perhaps for this exercise, the student is to write the English name in the left blank for the Russian word on the right, and the numbers 1 to 12 are just labels, not indicating order for the answer.

But that doesn't make sense with "put in right order".

Let's calculate the correct mapping.

List the Russian words with their correct order:

- январь -> 1
- февраль -> 2
- март -> 3
- апрель -> 4
- май -> 5
- июнь -> 6
- июль -> 7
- август -> 8
- сентябрь -> 9
- октябрь -> 10
- ноябрь -> 11
- декабрь -> 12

Now, in the worksheet, the Russian words are assigned to rows as follows:

Row 1: январь -> should be 1
Row 2: март -> should be 3
Row 3: август -> should be 8
Row 4: июль -> should be 7
Row 5: декабрь -> should be 12
Row 6: сентябрь -> should be 9
Row 7: май -> should be 5
Row 8: ноябрь -> should be 11
Row 9: февраль -> should be 2
Row 10: октябрь -> should be 10
Row 11: апрель -> should be 4
Row 12: июнь -> should be 6

If the student is to write the English name in the left blank for each row, then:

Row 1: January
Row 2: March
Row 3: August
Row 4: July
Row 5: December
Row 6: September
Row 7: May
Row 8: November
Row 9: February
Row 10: October
Row 11: April
Row 12: June

But this is not in calendar order; it's in the order of the rows as given.

The instruction says "put them in the right order", so perhaps the student is to write the English names in the left column in calendar order, ignoring the current row assignments.

In other words, for the left column, row 1 should have the English name for January, row 2 for February, etc., regardless of what is on the right.

And the right column is just a list of the Russian words to choose from.

That makes sense with "put them in the right order and write them in the 1st column".

So the student takes the Russian words, sorts them into calendar order, and writes the English equivalent in the left column for each number.

So for row 1: January (corresponding to январь)
Row 2: February (февраль)
Row 3: March (март)
Row 4: April (апрель)
Row 5: May (май)
Row 6: June (июнь)
Row 7: July (июль)
Row 8: August (август)
Row 9: September (сентябрь)
Row 10: October (октябрь)
Row 11: November (ноябрь)
Row 12: December (декабрь)

And the Russian words on the right are there to help identify, but you don't use their current positions.

This seems the most reasonable.

Moreover, the phrase "Russian and English names sound similar" is to help students guess the English name from the Russian.

So I'll go with that.

Therefore, the final answer is to write the English names in order from 1 to 12.

So:

1. January
2. February
3. March
4. April
5. May
6. June
7. July
8. August
9. September
10. October
11. November
12. December

But to confirm, let's see if the Russian words match.

Yes, январь=January, февраль=February, etc.

So for the student, they need to write these English names in the blanks.

Final Answer:
1. January
2. February
3. March
4. April
5. May
6. June
7. July
8. August
9. September
10. October
11. November
12. December
