My parents and I are fond of travelling. We like to travel in all the four seasons: in spring and autumn, in summer and in winter. We like to travel in spring because in spring nature awakens from her long winter sleep. There is fresh green grass in the fields and in the forests, in the gardens and in the parks. The leaves on the trees are fresh and green too. The sky is blue. It gets warmer and warmer every day. The birds sing their spring songs.
We like to travel in summer when the weather gets still warmer. Sometimes it is very hot in summer. Then you can swim in the river, in the lake or in the sea. The field sand the forests are full of different flowers. Summer is a wonderful season.
Autumn is beautiful, too. The forests and the gardens get yellow, red and brown. Autumn is a “tasty” season: there are a lot of fruit and vegetables in the gardens and a lot of berries and mushrooms in the forests.
And, of course, we like to travel in winter, when everything is white with snow. Then we like to ski down the mountains and hills. And skate in the parks. The air is so fresh in winter.
So when you go travelling you can see that nature is full of wonders in all the seasons.

The hedgehog. (Ёжик)
Jane was a girl of seven. She had a brother, Tom by name. They lived in a village. There was a large garden round their house.
One day in summer, when the school was over, the children found a small hedgehog in their garden. They took him home and called him Prickles. They liked Prickles very much and were very kind to him. They played with him in the garden and he became their pet.

Daddy-Long-Legs.
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, I like the college very much. I am happy that I can study. I like the girls and the teachers and the classes. The teacher of English literature liked my compositions. But I know very little of English literature. We had very few books in the library at the Children’s Home. I never read "David Copperfield” by Dickens, or "Robinson Crusoe” by Defoe. Now I am reading "Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll and stories by Rudyard Kipling. The girls in the college know very much. I didn’t know that people were monkeys many millions of years ago. I never heard of Sherlock Holmes. I didn’t know anything about Michelangelo. And one day when I heard the name, I asked the girls if he was a student at our college. The girls laughed at me and told the story to other girls. Now I know these things and a lot of others. But I have to read many books.

Two Mice.
Once there were two mice who were friends. One mouse lived in a city, the other mouse lived in the country. One day the Country Mouse asked the City Mouse to come to see him in the country. The Country Mouse took his friend to his home in a field and gave him some wheat to eat. It was very good wheat. The City Mouse said,” This wheat is not good and your home is not good, it is cold in winter and hot in summer. I live in a nice house made of stone and eat nice food. Come to see me at my home in the city”. So the Country Mouse went to the home of the City Mouse. The house was very good and there was very good and there were nice bread and butter to eat. But when they began to eat they heard something. The City Mouse said quickly,” Run!! Run! The cat is coming.” And they ran away. In a few minutes they came back. Then the Country Mouse said, "This is a fine house, but I do not like to live in the city. I only want to live in my field. It is better to be poor and happy in a field than to be rich and unhappy in a fine house.”
