The territory of America as compared with the territory of Russia is smaller. Texas is the biggest state in the USA.

The White House is situated in Washington. George Washington was the first President of

CHRISTMAS IN RUSSIA

The Russian Orthodox Church uses the old calendar for church festivals. There is a difference between the modern and  the old calendars .

So, Russian people celebrate Christmas on January 7 but other countries celebrate it in December 25.

Russian people prepare for this day beforehand.  They go to the supermarket and buy a lot of tasty things. Then they send greeting cards to their relatives and friends.

On this day Russian people go to the church. Coming home, they have Christmas dinner. Our families also celebrate Christmas. Mums cook cakes and make salads. We invite our friends to come to the Christmas party. After dinner our parents and guests watch TV. And we, children, play games. We love Christmas very much.

BLACK GOLD

Every year people use more and more oil. Oil is sometimes called “Black gold”. And this is true.

Oil is taken from the ground. Many useful things can be done from oil: plastics, wax, synthetic fabrics and much more.

Many people of our town work on the oil rigs and on the refineries. Their work is hard, but very important.

Oil is our treasure!

How We Celebrate The New Year At Home

Every year we celebrate the New Year at home. We have a party on the 31-st of December.

Usually we decorate our flat. We buy the New Tree and decorate it with balloons and beautiful toys.

We invite our  friends  and relatives to our party. My mum and granny cook tasty food. My

favorite New Year food is a cake. It’s very delicious!  Our friends also like cooking, and they

bring a lot of food with them. We wear fancy dresses for this party. We dance round the New Year tree, sing songs and play games. I prepare a lot of  surprises for the party.  Father Frost and his granddaughter always come to our house. They give us a lot of presents and tell us interesting fairy –tales. At midnight we switch on TV to watch   the films and the concerts .I should say that the NewYear is one of my favorite holidays.

NEW YEAR PARTY AT OUR SCHOOL

On December 30 we had the New Year party at school. The New Year tree was wonderful. We decorated it with toys and colorful lights.  Our boys decorated the school with balloons and merry pictures. Our girls sent the invitation cards to our friends from other schools.  

Our parents were at this party. We organized the merry concert for our guests and parents. The children from the primary school showed the New Year musical “The Wolf and a lot of Goats”. They sang and danced to the music, and the guests were very happy to listen to it. 

After the concert we returned to our classroom and continued the party there. Our mums cooked us a huge cake. It was very tasty! Father Frost and his granddaughter came to our class, and we got a lot of nice presents.

We liked the New Year party very much!

                                                   MY FAVOURITE CITY

My favourite city is Samara. Samara is one of the oldest Russian cities. It is located on the left

bank of the Volga River.

The city stretches along the Volga River. It in the Soviet period from 1935 to 1991 the city was

named Kuibyshev, in honor of the Soviet party leader Valerian Kuibyshev.

The population of Samara is 1.125 million people. It occupies the 6-th place in the Russian

Federation  after Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod.

The city is divided into 9 administrative districts. My favourite district is Samara district.

There are many green parks and gardens in this district. Many old houses, historical  monuments,

theatres and museums can be also found here.

I like to spend my weekends in Samara. My parents and I often go to Samara and  visit the

theatres and the museums.
