There are many Hero-Cities in our country. Vol- gograd is one of them.It's a legendary city, because here in 1943 the Soviet Army won the great and glorious victory over the fascists. It stands on the banks of the great Russian river Volga. Every year thou- sands of tounsts come to Volgograd. They want to visit the famous historical places ot our city to honour the memory of those soldiers, who died here for the freedom of our coun- try. The symbol of Volgograd Is the Mamayev Hill. There was the centre of fighting during the heroic defence of Stalin- grad. Now there is a great memorial there. Besides, there is the Stalingrad Battle Panorama Museum just on the bank of the Volga. Near this Museum we can see the ru- ined mill which was a command post during the battle. In the centre of Volgograd there is the Square of the Fallen He- roes. In the middle of it there is a granite obelisk and the common craves of the heroes of the Civil War and of the Great Patriotic War. At the foot of the memorial we can see the Eternal Flame. Now Volgograd is a big industrial city. There are many plants and factories there: big metallurgical works, tractor works, a lot of chemical enterprises, a shoe- making factory and others. Volgograd is a city of students. There are some institutes and one university and quite a number of schools, technical schools, colleges and gymnasi- ums there. Volgograd is a big cultural centre. There are some theatres there: a New Experimental theatre, a Musical Comedy theatre, a Puppet theatre, a Theatre of Young Spec- tators. Volgograd-great city and it should be visited at least once!

13. When we were in the country last summer, I went to the wood one day. In the wood I found a little fox cub. It could not run. It injured its leg. I decided to help the cub. I brought it home. Every day I fed it and took care of it. I was doing it the whole summer. Now the fox cub is quite well. It left my house. It lives in the woods again.
