A) Iceland is a country quite unique in many ways. Located in the Arctic Region of Northern Europe, it is
covered by ice, more than 20 active volcanos, glaciers and geysers. Even though located in the north, Iceland
is warmed by the Gulf Stream, and so the winter temperatures seldom drop below minus 10 degrees
Centigrade, while in the summer they stay around plus 10.
B) Iceland was discovered by the Vikings in the 870s AD. Scandinavian people from Norway, Denmark and
Sweden were the first to settle in Iceland. Soon they were followed by the Celts who came over from
Scotland and Ireland. For centuries Iceland was part of some other kingdom - Norway or Denmark, and
only in 1918 did it become an independent country.
When Iceland was first discovered by the Vikings, there was only one land mammal living there - the
Arctic fox. Europeans brought sheep, chickens, horses and goats to Iceland. Now there are also mice, rats,
rabbits and reindeer. Sometimes, polar bears visit Iceland. They usually arrive from Greenland on icebergs!
D) Icelanders don't have family names or surnames. Instead of the family name they use their father's name
to which they add "sdottir" -- "daughter of" or "sson" -- "son of". So if the father is called Jon, and his
daughter's given name is Eva, her full name would be Eva Jonsdottir. If Jon has a son whose name is Adam,
it would be Adam Jonsson.
E) There are at least two people from Iceland who are very well-known around the world. The first one of
them is Leif Erikson who was the first European explorer to discover America - long before Christopher
Columbus! The other one is Björk, a popular singer and actress of today.

Dear Vicky,
Thanks a lot for your email. I hope you’re doing well.
In your email, you asked me about grocery shopping. Actually, we have a lot of grocery shops nearby. It's very convenient, of course, and it doesn't make for me a big problem to buy there something once or twice a week. Personally, I enjoy choosing fresh fruit and veggies at the market. Sometimes we drive there with Mum and Dad at the weekends, and it takes us about an hour or even more to buy everything we need.
Anyway, write back and tell me about your new vacuum cleaner. What kind of cleaning does it do: wet or dry? Where was it made? Is it a wireless robot vacuum cleaner with a remote control or a traditional one? Is it powerful enough?
Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Roman

Дорогая Вики,
Большое за электронное письмо. Надеюсь, у тебя все хорошо.
В своем письме ты спросила меня о покупке продуктов. На самом деле, у нас поблизости много продуктовых магазинов. Это, конечно, очень удобно, и для меня не составляет большой проблемы покупать там что-нибудь раз или два раза в неделю. Лично мне нравится выбирать свежие фрукты и овощи в супермаркете. Иногда мы ездим туда с мамой и папой по выходным, и нам требуется около часа или даже больше, чтобы купить всё, что нам нужно.
В любом случае напиши мне и расскажи о своем новом пылесосе. Какую уборку он выполняет: влажную или сухую? Где он был сделан? Это беспроводной робот-пылесос с дистанционным управлением или традиционный пылесос? Достаточно ли он мощный?
Будь на связи. Пиши.
С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Роман
