I live in Russia. It's a very big country with a lot of climatic zones, so there are different kinds of flora and fauna in it. The most common plant that is associated with my country is a birch tree. These trees are very beautiful as they have white bark and long branches. They can grow tall. These trees grow nearly everywhere in central and southern parts of Russia. Other common plants are fir, pine, oak, poplar, aspen, and willow.
As for common animals, they are foxes, wolves, hares, squirrels and bears. They live in forests and sometimes in fields. For example, the taiga forest is home for the European elk, brown bears, reindeer, the lynx, the sable, and a variety of forest birds, such as owls and the nightingale. In the water there are different kinds of fish and in the north of the country we can find some mammals like seal, walrus and whale.
Our songbirds include blackbirds, nightingales, larks, orioles, starlings. Common waterbirds are ducks, swans, geese, gulls, shorebirds, coots, loons and others.
Some animals have become symbols of Russia and Russian cities and towns — the brightest example is the bear.
Я живу в России. Это очень большая страна с множеством климатических зон, поэтому в ней есть разные виды флоры и фауны. Самым распространенным растением, связанным с моей страной, является береза. Эти деревья очень красивы, поскольку у них белая кора и длинные ветки. Они вырастают высокими. Эти деревья растут почти повсюду в центральной и южной частях России. Другими распространенными растениями являются ель, сосна, дуб, тополь, осина и ива.
Что касается распространенных животных, то это лисы, волки, зайцы, белки и медведи. Они живут в лесах, а иногда и в полях. Например, таежный лес является домом для европейского лося, бурых медведей, оленей, рыси, соболя и множества лесных птиц, таких как совы и соловьи. В воде водятся разные виды рыб, и на севере страны мы можем найти таких млекопитающих, как тюлень, морж и кит.
Наши певчие птицы включают черных дроздов, соловьев, жаворонков, иволг, скворцов. Типичные водоплавающие - это утки, лебеди, гуси, чайки, кулики, лысухи, гагары и другие.
Некоторые животные стали символами России и ее городов - ярчайшим примером является медведь.
That's why he has nothing to eat before it, because it would be bad for him to eat before exercises. But when he comes back, he has a shower and is more than ready for breakfast. He always needs a cup of coffee to really wake him up. His breakfast usually consists of a bowl of cereal with milk and sugar. This he follows by toasts and juice. My father eats the same as my brother.
My mother has a lighter breakfast of just yoghurt and a grapefruit. As for me, a cup of tea is enough for breakfast. And my mother sometimes scolds me for it, because it's important to have a really goods breakfast.
We don't have our main meal at lunch time. My father takes sandwiches with him to work. To be healthy, he also eats fruit. My mother is able to be more varied in her lunches, because she is a housewife. It means that she can prepare what she likes.
Her favourite dish is roast meat. As she likes to bake, there is always something tasty at home. Our evening meal is usually eaten at 7 o'clock. The main course is often meat with vegetables. Sometimes we eat pizza or pasta with delicious sauce.
We try to eat our main meal together. In our busy lives it is the one time of day when we sit down and have a good talk.
