PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Pavlova ? "It's important for Russia and China to cultivate a community that respects and understands the cultures of both countries " Pavlova said.
 Pavlova was satisfied with the bulletin boards on which students wrote their feelings about learning Chinese. Chinese motifs such as bamboos were drawn beside texts.
 The students not only learned the Chinese language  but also Chinese politics  economics and cultures as well  Pavlova said.
 The upcoming Year of Chinese Language in Russia would extend the fruits of the reciprocal national theme years (last year was Year of the Russian Language in China)  and would strengthen cultural and educational cooperation between the two countries and thus create favorable circumstances for Russia's young people to learn Chinese language and culture  Pavlova said.
 "Both the teachers and students are eager to take part in the colorful events to be held within the framework of the Year of Chinese Language " she said.
 The school planned to launch a festival of Chinese language and culture in April as part of its contribution to the language year  Pavlova said. Students from 15 schools in Moscow would be invited to the occasion.
 The students were vigorously preparing for the Chinese language contest for elementary and high school students in Moscow as well as the all-Russian Chinese writing contest  while the teachers were scheduled to attend a seminar on Chinese language teaching at Moscow State University  she said.
 Pavlova said she was looking forward to taking her students to various activities  including exhibitions on Chinese language  universities  movies and literature  and a performance of the Beijing People's Art Theater  a famed Chinese drama troupe.
 Pavlova hoped the Year of Chinese Language increased cooperation between schools from both countries  stressing her school and other Russian schools running Chinese courses were keen to establish rapport with Chinese schools  especially those featuring Russian language teaching.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bob Woodward ? âHe sees himself as a strong man  or wants to see himself as a strong man â Bernstein â who broke the Watergate scandal for  The Washington Post with Bob Woodward â  told the crowd at Northeastern Illinois University on Thursday night.
 Woodward  wasnât much kinder  describing as âShakespeareanâ an encounter  he  had with Trump in which Trump rejected former President Barack Obamaâs praise of American humility and restraint in the exercise of power and told Woodward  âReal power comes from fear.â
âIn a sense  thatâs the Trump âRosebud â â  Woodward  added  alluding to a plot element in the film âCitizen Kane.â
The White House did not respond to a request for comment. But Bernstein  73  and Woodward  74  sparred agreeably onstage like an old married couple. When Bernsteinâs exuberant arm gestures left his handheld microphone out of range   Woodward  scolded him  âHold the microphone steady!â
And when Bernstein admitted to recently rereading sections of âAll The Presidentâs Men â their best-selling book about Watergate   Woodward  told him  âThis is like Gloria Swanson â referring to the role Swanson played in âSunset Boulevardâ of an embittered old Hollywood star who dreams of a return to her glory years.

SOLUTION: Neutral

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hensley Meulens ? Hensley Meulens
 Resume: A Yankees-signed and developed outfield prospect   Meulens  underwhelmed in 14 years as a player before establishing a strong reputation as a coach.  He  served as the Giantsâ hitting coach from 2010 through 2017 and  if  he  doesnât get this gig  will be San Franciscoâs bench coach in 2018.
Strengths:  He  speaks five languages (English  Spanish  Dutch  Papiamento and Japanese) and has a particularly close bond with  his  fellow Curacao native Didi Gregorius  the Yankeesâ shortstop.  He  has put in  his  time on a major-league coaching staff.
Weaknesses:  His  only managing experience has come with the Netherlands in the 2013 and 2017 World Baseball Classic  which is more of a marketing gimmick than a true baseball competition.  His  jobs havenât subjected  him  to anything approaching the media scrutiny heâd receive as Yankees manager.
Resume: A participant in 39 major-league games as a player  Wedge proceeded to manage 1 620 big-league games with the Indians (2003-09) and Mariners (2011-13).  He  won American League Manager of the Year honors in 2007  the one season  he  took a team to the playoffs.
Strengths: Experience.  He âs the only one on this list to have led a big-league team on a permanent basis (Thomson filled in for Girardi a few times)  and  he  did it quite often.  He  has worked twice with respected Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro  who currently deploys Wedge as a player development adviser.
Weaknesses:  His  personality is regarded as so dry that  he  makes Girardi seem like Rip Taylor in comparison. His departure from Seattle after the 2013 season proved to be a messy one  as he lodged explosive accusations against the Marinersâ ownership and front office.
