Task No.19
From: Taitana
To: Daniel
Subject: Exams
Hi Daniel!
Thanks for you last e-mail.
I am very glad that you want to visit our country.
I think the best month to visit Russian is August. Because this mounth isn't too hot and isn't cold.
So, I think you should certainly visit Red Square, the Kremlin, the Tretyakov Gallery, Arbat,
The Kazan Cathedral etc.
You can visit the theaters. This includes theaters as the Bolshoi theatre, the theater of the
Mossovet theatre and many others..
I think you should travel around by bus or train or better by subway because russian roads and
traffic jams aren't cool.
I can't recommend a specific good and inexpensive hotel. It depends on your budget and preferences.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes,
Tatiana.
Task No.18
1.What makes you get angry? When was the last time you got really angry?

when I was on holiday in Kabardino-Balkaria.
When I took the photo I was between Elbrus and the Caucasus range. It was incredibly beautiful
and memorable. So I really like this photo. Part of the way I was rising on the cable car.
There I met interesting people. They told me many exciting stories about the mountains and their travels.
Task No.6
I. 1) I like the authors of different genres. For example in fiction I like Ray Bradbury.

is one of the best book I've ever read.
2) My parents are the most generous people I've ever known.
They do everything for me and I try to thank them for that.

"House 2" is one of the worst programmes on TV I've ever seen.

in this case. I usually fall down out of the blue and without skateboard. But some time later I was able to ride.

this film in the cinema. We didn't like this masterpiece, but we had fun.

amusingly.

Task No.5
Future holidays.
On holidays I'm not going to travel anywhere. But maybe I'll go away to ride a bike several times.
This vacation I'm going to devote the work. I intend to find a job at least for the summer months.
This is very important for me because I aspire to independence. But also, like everyone else, I want
to find a nice job with a decent salary.
In my free time I'm going to do what I want. For example, I might meet with relatives and friends.
I have not communicated with many of them for a long time. And I really miss them.
Also I'll have time to read fiction not only to read student's books. If it is sunny and warm I'll have the inspiration.
Maybe I'll create something new such as a picture.
I also want to learn something new. I don't know what it is but I know one thing - I need to try.
In the end, I certainly don't know where my fate will lead me.

Task No.3
I live in Moscow, which is a city on the Moskva River in the center of the Eastern Europe Plain, between the Oka and Volga.
Moscow - is the capital of the Russian Federation, the federal city, the administrative center. It has a population of
11 977 988 people(2013) and it's the most populated city in Europe. Although this town is crowded, the people who live here are sometimes unfriendly,
there are a lot of cars in the streets, people live in an "eternal traffic jam" Moscow is one of the most beautiful cities
in the world. There are lots of streets, streets with old buildings, it's full of churches, museums, apartment houses, restaurants and shops.
The climate of Moscow is of the continental type, modified by the temperate influence of western winds from the Atlantic Ocean.
Winters are cold and long, summers are short and mild . But in the middle of summer it is usually hot. It's great for going to the countyside
or the city beach. But I don't like summer in the capital because all my Moscow friends usually travel somewhere.
Moscow is a cultural center. The city offers us many cultural programs and other activities. There are special parks, centers,
clubs, cafes where you can find entertainment to your taste. In this city it's difficult to get bored. Even if you don't find entertainment,
"entertainment" will find you.
Moscow is a city of my childhood. I grew up in Moscow. Whatever you say but I love this city.
Maybe it's because this city brings me some strange feeling, a feeling that I'm home.
Task No.2

I'm a student in the Economics Department.
I'm going to tell you about myself. I have long hair and brown eyes. I'm tall and not very fat. I think I'm a

and making sketches. Sometimes I get inspiration from books or from pictures in the books.

never traveled to a certain place. I'm going to make money for a car and maybe my
parents will help me.
b) one thing I've done many times and advise everyone to do;
I have been to the mountains several times. My brothers and my uncle are climbers.
Аlthough they could not travel with me, I understood the reason for their love for this
great place. It seems our love for the mountains and active rest is in our blood.

We had a very good time. I got a lot of experience. I advise everyone to visit such places.
c) one thing I've done recently;
