The first maps were drawn by explorers to help them find their way home and show people where they had been. The maps showed the shape of the land, distances between places and special features such as caves and old trees. Nowadays, maps show the towns and villages, and the roads, railways, rivers and mountains. Symbols are used to show all the different things on a map and there is a key to explain what the symbols stand for.

Over the centuries, people explored most of the Earth and put together the map of the world we use today. Maps of the world or large areas are often either “political” or “physical”. The political map shows territorial borders. The purpose of the physical map is to show features of geography such as mountains, soil type or land use including roads, railroads and buildings.

I’ve chosen photo number one. Taking photos is my hobby. If I have an opportunity to take a good picture I never miss it. I have a picture to show you. 

This photo was taken a few years ago in a park not so far from my house. 

In the photo you can see my sister Liza. She lives in St. Petersburg.  Whenever she comes to Moscow she always stays at our flat and we do things together.

Liza is jogging in the park. Unlike me, she does it every day no matter how bad the weather might be. Fortunately, the weather was perfect that day and we enjoyed jogging together.

I keep this photo in my album because she looks really happy and cute here. I like to see her happy.

You know, Liza is an artist. I’ve decided to show you this picture because you once told me that you would like to learn to paint. She will be here next week so I think you could meet her and take a few lessons.

Now you know what my friend looks like. Hope you will enjoy talking to her. 

That’s all I wanted to say.

I found two pictures in my album and I am going to compare and contrast them.

In both pictures you can see my sister Natasha. She is a big book reader and she reads everywhere. In the first picture she is sitting on a sofa at home and reading an e-book. In the second picture she is reading a book on a train.

These pictures have many things in common. First of all, the same person, Natasha is in both of them. Second, in both pictures Natasha is reading. There are no other people around, she’s alone. In both pictures she’s smiling, which means she’s reading about something nice or funny.

There are some differences as well. First, she is dressed differently in each picture. In the first picture she is wearing a bathrobe and in the second one she’s wearing a t-shirt. In the first picture she’s at home and in the second one she’s on a train. The color of her hair is different, black in picture one and white in picture two. She’s reading an e-book in one picture and a regular book in the other.

Personally, I would prefer reading e-books. Having one e-book reader with you allows you to have all the books you want in one place. It’s like a personal library.

I like reading a few books at the same time. It’s not comfortable for me to carry a couple kilos of regular books in my bag.

That’s it, thank you for listening.

Many lands that had once been swamps were drained or filled in. There are different reasons why people drained swamplands. Some were drained to fight diseases caused by insects that lived in them. Because swamps were considered unpleasant places in which to live and harmful to health, many people thought that unless they were drained the land was worthless.

Other swamps were drained to make new land. As the population grew and more land was needed, people drained swamps or filled them to make room for more farms and factories, more roads and airports.

Few people thought that it might be harmful to get rid of swamps. As swamps disappeared, other things happened. There were both more floods and more droughts than before. There were also more fires, for swamps had acted as firebreaks. Hunters noticed that there was less wild game. Wild life that once lived in the swamps was dying out, because it had no place to live.

This photo was taken a few years ago in Egypt where I took a vacation with my family. In the photo you can see beautiful corals and a school of yellow fish. I was taking a scuba diving lesson and took my camera, which allowed me to film underwater. As soon as the school of fish saw me they started swimming away. The underwater landscape view was amazing. I keep this photo in my album because it looks really beautiful and colorful. It reminds me of that fantastic time that we spent there. You know. I’ve decided to show you this picture because you’ve never been to Egypt and you have always wanted to take a few scuba diving lessons. Don’t give up on this idea. A lot of positive emotions are waiting for you. Now you know how the underwater realm looks like. Hope you will enjoy doing it. 

That’s all I wanted to say.

I found two pictures in my album and I am going to compare and contrast them.

In both pictures you can two see views. The first picture shows a big city with a bridge and skyscrapers. The second one depicts a countryside view with a hill, road, village houses and trees.

These pictures have some things in common. First of all, these are two kinds of settlements, a village and city ones. Second, in both pictures we can see houses. It looks like early morning. Perhaps summer.

There are some differences as well. First, it’s a city and a village. One looks strict and official whereas the other soft and relaxing. In the first picture there are a bridge and a river, in the second one a hill and a road. The houses are different as well. One is big, concrete and high, compared to small, cozy and tranquil.

Personally, I would prefer city life. I’ve been living in a big city for a long time and I feel quite comfortable there.

Big cities give a lot of opportunities and I like it. A lot of new and interesting events take place in big cities and I like taking part in it.

That’s it, thank you for listening.

As soon as spring brings a new growth of bushes and berries, bears start feeding. They eat and eat. All through the spring and summer their feeding goes on. The bears build themselves up. They store food and fats that they will need in the fall when they start their long sleep.

As days grow shorter, and the temperature begins to fall, bears hunt for a sleeping place. It may be a shallow cave, or a deep crack between rocks. Some bears end up sleeping in hollow logs. Logs seem to be bears’ favourite places. Bears seem to choose small spaces. They can keep warmer in a cave that’s just large enough to hold them than in a larger cave. They often line their sleeping place with leaves and dried grass.

This photo was taken a few years ago in my aunt’s study. My aunt Liza is in the picture among two piles of books. She is a scientist and she was working on an article. I came to visit her without letting her know in advance. I was surprised how many books she needs to write one article. She was really happy to see me. I keep this photo in my album because she looks really happy and inspired. You know. I’ve decided to show you this picture because you wanted to learn Chinese and she is also a Chinese teacher. So, I thought you might want to take some of her lessons. Now you know how my aunt looks. Hope you will enjoy communicating with her. 

That’s all I wanted to say.

I found two pictures in my album and I am going to compare and contrast them.

In both pictures you can see bears. The first picture shows a bear in a zoo. The second one depicts a bear in wild nature. These pictures have some things in common. First of all, these are two bears. They are both in a vertical position. They look cute and pleasant keeping their front paws in front of their chests.There are some differences as well. First, it’s a zoo and wild nature. We can see people in the first picture and flowers and some pieces of trees’ in the second one. It looks like autumn in the first and summer in the second. The first bear is sitting on a rock the second one is trying to lift something heavy. Personally, I would prefer wild live for them. I think that wild life is for wild animals. They would feel better there, way happier.

That’s it, thank you for listening.

A hobby is an activity you enjoy doing, it is something of your choice, something unique to your taste and talent. A hobby can improve our well-being; it can give more meaning to our life. Just as physical exercise is important for the body, relaxation of the mind is also essential.

In fact, studies reveal that people who cultivate themselves through such activities are less likely to suffer from anxieties, depression and other negative feelings. A hobby is the easiest way to restore your balance whenever you are over-worked or stressed. Since it is an activity of your choosing, it will always give you pleasure and help you to relax. Even if you indulge in your hobby for a short period of time, you still can feel the difference in your energy level and spirit. When you have a hobby, you will always find time for it.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ:

I am going to compare and contrast two pictures.

1. give a brief description of the photos (action, location)

In the first picture there is a woman sitting on the sofa probably at home and reading an e-book. In the second picture there is the same woman I guess in a train standing and reading a printed book.
