New houses are in our street. These stories are very interesting. There were women, men, boys and girls in the room. In the farm-yard we could see oxen, sheep, cows and geese. Put these knives on those tables. Why don`t you cut these potatoes? These strawberries are still green. Yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Can`t you see the birds in those trees? Do your teeth still ache? I held up my feet to warm them. His children study very well. Are these workers Englishmen or German? They are Frencmen. What are those children`s names? The cats have caught mice. I have heart my feet. The wolves have been shoot. He keeps his toys in boxes. These men work in our offices.
Надеюсь, что правильно поняла смысл задания.
Dear Anton,
My summer holidays were very interesting. I spent them guess where. I visited London! This is really a great city with its old cathedrals, churches, palaces and museums . I took a lot of pictures of London. Most of all I enjoyed going on а river trip down the Thames. The weather was fine! No wind, no clouds in the sky! We saw the Houses of Parliament along the north bank of the Thames. The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament is famous for its big hour bell known as «Big Ben». We saw the Tower of London near Tower Bridge.
We also visited the British Museum and Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives. We were lucky with the weather again. It was not raining and we made a ride on the London Eye wheel and went to Trafalgar Square where the tall Nelson's coloumn stands. I enjoyed doing the sights very much. I took a lot of pics there.
That's all for now.
Best wishes,
Sandra
Санкт-Петербург - это город, расположенный на Балтийском море. Многие люди думают, что Санкт-Петербург является одним из самых красивых
городов в мире. Его прямые улочки, прекрасные дворцы ,
зеленые парки и скверы не оставят никогда равнодушным. Но. в тоже самое
время, не так много людей захотят переехать в Санкт-Петербург и жить там.
Вы зададитесь вопросом "Почему так?". Ответ: из-за климата. Город
расположен на севере , рядом с Балтийским морем. С моря часто дуют ветра
и приносят холод и дожди . В Санкт-Петербурге погода бывает часто
северной. Солнечных дней мало. Из-за сильных ветров осень и зима бывают
не совсем приятными. Река Нева - одна из самых холодных рек, и только очень храбрые люди плавают в Неве в жаркие дни. Как вы видите, климат в
Санкт-Петербурге оставляет желать лучшего, но это
не останавливает тысячи туристов, которые приезжают из разных мест, чтобы
увидеть город. Люди, которые живут в Санкт-Петербурге говорят, что их
город самый лучший, и что они никогда не променяют его ни на один из
других городов в мире .
