Ladoga Lake - the largest in Europe. From it flows the Neva River, which flows into the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea.
The basin of the lake has a glacial origin. About 12 thousand years ago, it finally freed from ice. And now, in the lake, seals continue to live, to which its natural conditions have come to its liking.
The area of Ladoga with islands more than 18 thousand square meters. km. The vast expanses of the lake resemble the sea. In its open part, there are no banks visible, and strong winds often turn it into a raging element, more insidious than some of the seas. The greatest length of Ladoga Lake is 219 km, and the average width is about 83 km. The average depth is 50 m.
In the Ladoga Lake, large rivers flow their waters: Svir, Vuoksa and Volkhov, several dozen middle rivers and more than a hundred small rivers. One Neva flows out of the lake.
The shores of Ladoga are varied. In the north, they are tall, rocky and steep, with complex outlines: they are riddled with numerous bays and peninsulas that go far into the lake. Here, the greatest depths, reaching 230 meters, are also concentrated. The northern shores and islands of Ladoga have long served as a mining site for building and decorative stone. Particularly intensive Ladoga granite was developed during the construction of St. Petersburg. For 150 years it was the main material for the monumental construction of the northern capital. From Ladoga granite, for example, the famous atlantes of the Hermitage, the foundation of St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Palace Bridge across the Neva, the foundation of the monument "Millennium of Russia" in Novgorod are made.
The southern shores are low, swampy, they have smooth outlines, almost not dissected. The coastal part of the lake is flat-bottomed with depths of no more than 50 meters. There are three wide, shallowly exposed gulfs, called the lips - Svirskaya, Volkhovskaya and Shlisselburgskaya. The shrubbery plots alternate with pine forests, sandy beaches, pebble placers and boulders. To the southern shores are the limestone layers. Flowing through the cracks water dissolves them and forms voids and caves, then it is knocked out of the rock mass in the form of keys.
On Lake Ladoga - an abundance of islands, the number of which exceeds 650. They are distributed unevenly, most of it is concentrated near the northern coast. In the middle of the lake there are two archipelagoes of the islands - Valaam group (more than 50) and Mantissini (about 40).
The lake is characterized by low mineralization and the water of the Ladoga is quite transparent. In winter, in warm years, the lake does not freeze completely, and the open central part of the lake remains ice-free. The thickness of the ice on the lake varies from 50 to 110 cm, depending on the severity of winter. The ice reaches its maximum thickness at the end of March and beginning of April. The lake begins to open in April at the southern shore and in the skerries of the northern part. If strong northern winds blow, then the mass of ice is sent to Shlisselburgskaya Bay, and from there to the Neva River. Then on it passes the second - Ladoga - ice drift.
We have a nice flat in a new block of flats. Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, a lift and a chute to carry rubbish down There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat.
The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. In the middle of the room we have a square-table with six chairs round it. To the right of the dinner-table there is a wall-unit which has several sections: a sideboard, a wardrobe and some shelves. At the opposite wall there is a piano and stool before it. Between the two large windows there is a little table with a colour TV set on it. Near the TV set there are two cosy armchairs. A small round table, a divan-bed and a standard lamp are in the left-hand corner. This small table is for newspapers and magazines. My father is used to having a rest sitting on this divan-bed reading books, newspapers, magazines or watching TV.
The bedroom is smaller than the living-room and not so light as there is only one window in it. In this room there are two beds. An alarm-clock and a small lamp with a pink lamp-shade are on the table. In the left-hand corner there is a dressing-table with a big mirror.. In this room we have a built-in wardrobe with coat-hangers to-hang clothes on. There is a thick carpet on the floor and plain light-brown curtains on the window. The third room is my study. It is not large but very cosy. There isn't much furniture in it, only the most necessary. It has a writing-table and an armchair before it. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books, magazines and newspapers. A small table with a radio is standing in the left-hand corner. Near it there is a sofa with some cushions. In my opinion, the study is the best room in our flat.
But the warmest place in our flat is the kitchen, I think — the place where the whole family gathers every evening not only to have supper together, but also to speak and rest. I like the English proverb: "My home is my castle" because my flat is, indeed, my castle.
Перевод:
У нас есть хорошая квартира в новом многоквартирном доме. Наша квартира находится на четвертом этаже. В ней есть все современные удобства: центральное отопление, газ, электричество, холодная и горячая вода, лифт и мусоропровод. Есть три комнаты, кухня, ванная комната и зал в нашей квартире.
Гостиная является самой крупной и наиболее комфортабельным местом в квартире. В центре комнаты стоит квадратный обеденный стол с шестью стульями вокруг него. Справа от обеденного стола есть стена-блок, которая состоит из нескольких секций: серванта, шкафа, нескольких полок. На противоположной стене есть пианино со стульчиком. Между двумя большими окнами находится маленький столик с цветным телевизором на нем. Около телевизора два уютных кресла. Маленький круглый столик, диван-кровать и торшер в левом углу. Этот маленький столик предназначен для газет и журналов. Папа привык к тому, чтобы отдыхать, сидя на диване-кровати, читать книги, газеты, журналы или смотреть телевизор.
Спальня меньше по размеру, чем гостиная, и не такая светлая, потому в ней только одно окно. В этой комнате находятся две кровати. Будильник и небольшая лампа с розовым абажуром на столе. В левом углу есть туалетный столик с большим зеркалом. В этой комнате есть встроенный шкаф с вешалками, чтобы повесить одежду. Лежит толстый ковер на полу и однотонные светло-коричневые шторы на окне. Третья комната - это мой кабинет. Он небольшой, но очень уютный. В нем не так много мебели, а только самое необходимое. Здесь находится письменный стол и кресло перед ним. В правом углу есть книжный шкаф, полный книг, журналов и газет. Небольшой столик с радио стоит в левом углу. Возле него находится диван с подушками. На мой взгляд, кабинет - самая лучшая комната в нашей квартире.
Но самым теплым местом в нашей квартире является кухня, я думаю место, где вся семья собирается каждый вечер не только, чтобы поужинать вместе, но и поговорить и отдохнуть. Мне нравится английская пословица: "Мой дом - моя крепость", потому что моя квартира, действительно, моя крепость.
