Условие.

12 Do you love your Motherland? Read the text and say what symbols of Russia you can name.

I LOVE RUSSIA

Russia is my country. It is the biggest country in the world. Russia is situated on two continents: Europe and Asia. The Urals (the Ural Mountains) form a natural bor¹ between the continents. Russia is a very rich country. There are many mountains, rivers, lakes and forests in my country, some of which are very beautiful.

The Volga is the longest river in Europe. It runs into the Caspian Sea. There are many beautiful old towns — both big and small — on its banks. Practically all of them are interesting places, famous for their history.

Seas and oceans wash Russia in the north, south, east and west.

The plant and animal worlds of my country are very rich. There are a lot of different animals, birds and plants in our forests, fields and mountains. Russia is also rich in gold, silver and other minerals ['minərælz].

One Russian symbol is the Russian national flag. This flag has three wide stripes on it. The stripes are white, blue and red. These colours have always been symbolic [sim'bɒlɪk] in Russia: white — noble and sincere, blue — honest and devoted. The red colour has always meant love and bravery.

Russian people have always loved their country and been devoted to it though life in Russia has never been easy. They fought for peace and independence against enemies on their land.

Another symbol of Russia is the birch tree. You can find these trees everywhere. People sing beautiful songs about birch trees and plant them near their houses.
