• 1) It stretches from the Pacific Ocean in Asia to the Baltic Sea in Europe, and from
Arctic to the Black Sea coast.

• 2) In Russia you can see rocky mountains, dry empty steppes, powerful rivers, wide
plains and grasslands, great forests and lands of endless winter.

• 3) The lands of endless winter are probably on the north of Russian Far East.

• 4) Because they want to safe the history. Also, it is important to keep some places
with beautiful and unique nature as they are, because of animals and other
creatures, plants, trees (they can disappear if you change something in their
habitat).

• 5) The first national park, Losinyi Ostrov (Elk Isle) is 35 years old.
 Ex.6
• 6) I can’t say that the place is a scientific centre, but scientists do work in the park and are
interested in the flora and fauna of this area.

• 7) Grown-ups and children, especially schoolchildren who come to the park in big groups visit
this park.

• 8) Most of the park’s territory is under forests, and the common trees are pines and firs. Also,
there are some unusual species of grasses and wild flowers such as different bluebells and
lilies-of-the-valley. As for the birds, the common are ducks, geese, and even gulls, but there
are also forest birds. The common animals are mice, squirrels, foxes, hares, otters, wild boars,
deer and elks.

• 9) The name to the park gave the animal elk. The elk is a large animal possessing an even
number of toes on each foot. The animal feeds on grasses, plants, leaves and bark. The males
have antlers, which start growing in the spring and are shed each winter.
(Парк назван в честь такого животного, как лось. Лось - крупное животное с четным
числом пальцев на каждой ноге. Животное питается травами, растениями, листьями и
корой. У самцов есть рога, которые начинают расти весной и отпадают каждую зиму)
 Ex.7
• A: I think it would be great to have a park on the outskirts of the city. What do you think
about it?
• B: Well, it is a good idea, but, to my mind, it is better to have a park in the centre of the
city, because it would be probably more popular among people.
• A: Okay, the centre is also good. But who will be able to visit it?
• B: Adults, children, old people will be able to go there. All of them will be able to know
new facts about nature, it will be especially useful and educative for children.
• A: There will be a lot of plant species such as roses, tulips, lilies. Also, most of the park’s
territory will be covered with woods.
• B: As for the birds, there will be titmice[ˈtɪtmaus] синицы, magpies - сороки,
wagtails[ˈwæɡteɪl] трясогузки.
• A: Yes, that’s great. Common animals will be squirrels, foxes, mice and wild boars.
• B: Okay. How will we make our park popular?
• A: First, we can make some advertisement (рекламу) saying that the new park is
opening. Secondly, we will improve the park for everyone’s needs.
• B: You are right. If people love the park, they will tell others about it and will advise to
visit it.
