In your last letter you asked me to tell you about my pets. OK, I can talk for hours on this topic. I have a dog; his name is La boule. That’s a French word which means a ball. He is a pug and he is very funny. I also have a hamster. His name is Masha. Not a usual name for a hamster, you say, but he is very curious and smart enough. I would also like to have a cat, but perhaps not now.
I’m fine, no changes since the last time. I’m passing my exams next week. After that, I’m looking forward to going abroad. I like traveling a lot. I’ve visited just a few European countries but I fell in love with the Old world. My dream is to go to Paris. This is the city of love, croissants and haut-couture. I think every person should see it and not necessarily die after it!
You told me that you had been to many countries. Tell me about your greatest trip! Have you been to Paris, did you like it? What are you going to do this summer? Where would you like to go?
I’m so happy that your sister married! Wish her and her husband a very good luck! Hope the wedding was as gorgeous as the bride was!
Could you send me some photos?
Sorry, I have to go, my parents are leaving on holidays, I need to see them off.
A bear is a true symbol of the wildlife. A bear is a very large and powerful animal well known to anyone. They are usually quite furry and can be brown or white (polar bears); even a panda can be called a bear.
For a human meeting a bear can be extremely dangerous, but in normal life, they are very calm and quiet, looking for some food and raising their baby-bears. Nevertheless, a mother-bear often avoid leaving its child with a father-bear as it can be quite dangerous too.
Depending on a habitat, their diet can vary significantly, but in most cases it consists of fish, roots, berries and other food can be found in a forest (or in a snowy area if we are speaking about white bears).
It is very interesting that bears, even if they are grown up, prefer to stay close by to their parents as long as possible.
Bears eat a lot in the summer and autumn to gain weight (mainly fat) to survive in winter, when it is impossible to eat regularly.
Медведь – настоящий символ дикой природы. Это очень большое и сильное животное, знакомое каждому. У медведей густая шерсть; они могут быть коричневыми или белыми (полярный медведь). Даже панду можно назвать медведем.
Для человека встреча с медведем может быть крайне опасна, однако в обычной жизни они тихие и спокойные: ищут еду, воспитывают медвежат. Тем не менее, мамы-медведицы предпочитают не оставлять медвежат со своими отцами, так как это тоже небезопасно.
В зависимости от места обитания, рацион медведя различается, но в основном он состоит из рыбы, корней, ягод и других съедобных продуктов, которые можно отыскать в лесу (или в снегах, если говорить о полярных медведях).
Интересно, что даже взрослые медведи предпочитают оставаться как можно ближе к своим родителям на протяжении всей жизни.
Чтобы выжить зимой, когда невозможно регулярно находить пищу, летом и осенью медведи очень много едят и откладывают жир.
