Русские столицы

Сообщение от 30 августа 2017 года 

Task I: Read the text and say what city in Russia was once its capital. 

The Russian Capitals 

      The capital of Russia is Moscow. Moscow is an old city but it is also a young city. Although it is 870 years old, you can see a lot of new, modern houses in it. The city is situated on seven hills. On one of them is the Kremlin with its beautiful red walls and famous towers. 

     The Kremlin is certainly the heart of Moscow. Everything here speaks of important facts in the life of our country. 

    Chronicals first mentioned Moscow in 1147. It was a little settlement at the top of a hill looking over the Moskva River, a settlement founded by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. 

    Moscow grew and very soon it became, as old chronicals say, "a city, superior to all other cities of Russia". It was then that the white stone walls and towers of the Kremlin appeared, and Moscow, which was in fact the Kremlin, became a strong fortress. 

    In the 16th century Moscow was one of the largest cities in Europe. An English traveller wrote that Moscow was larger than London in those days. In 1712 the Russian king, Tsar Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to St Petersburg, a new city founded in 1703 on the banks of the Neva River. The new capital in the north-west of Russia grew and became very important. But Moscow was important too. Moscow was famous for its churches, museums and cultural centres. 

    On March 10, 1918, a special train left St Petersburg for Moscow. The government of the country moved to the old Russian town and Moscow again became the capital of Russia.

Card №15 

Give a talk about climate and weather.  

Remember to say: 

 - what types of climate you know;  

- why different parts of the world have different types of climate;  

- people of what professions are interested in weather forecasts and why. 

     I'd like to give a talk about climate and weather. Weather and climate are different. Weather is a short period description of the air in an area measured by temperature, precipitation (осадки), humidity (влажность), wind, and other factors. Climate is the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time. There are 12 different types of climate found on the Earth. Climates in the same category are found in the same area. I know the names of some of them. They are tropical rainy climates, dry climates, mild humid climates, cold polar climates, the Mediterranean climate, oceanic climate, and subarctic climate. Our region has the continental climate. 

    Different parts of the world have different climates because of the distance from the sea, distance from the equator, height above the sea level, directions of the winds, humidity and rainfall. 

Nowadays all of us are interested in weather forecasts. But people who work outdoors are interested in weather forecasts most of all. Among them are football players, gardeners, drivers, builders, pilots, sailors. If weathermen predict rainy or stormy weather, football matches and flights are delayed. A gardener won't work about the garden if the rainstorm starts. Besides, climbers, hikers and cyclists can't continue their hike or ride if it is rainy or stormy outside. 

That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
