Dear Alex,

I have moved to the beautiful city of St. Petersburg recently. It is extremely beautiful, unique, mysterious and amazing. It's a fairy city, a real city-museum! There are a lot of landmarks in St. Petersburg. It is impossible to list all its palaces, museums, theatres, monuments, parks... For example, the 'bronze horseman' is one of the famous monuments in Russia and I think everybody in our country knows it. The Northern capital of Russia is included on the list of the most beautiful cities in the world. Among the attractions of the city there is the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, Kazan Cathedral, Church of the Savior on Blood, and many more. Petersburg strikes with a unique mix of different styles in architecture.The main square of St. Petersburg is Palace Square. It is three times larger than Red square and it is the main square for all major events, concerts and festivals held in St. Petersburg. In the Winter Palace, which now houses the Hermitage Museum there is a huge picture gallery with over 3.000.000 masterpieces. Come to St. Petersburg, and you will be able to see all the beauty with your own eyes!

That's all for now.

Take care and keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Andrei

I want to tell about the tiger. It looks like a very big cat. It is orange with vertical black stripes. The tiger's stomach and chest is white with black stripes.

Tigers are dangerous powerful animals. They can kill people.

The tiger hunts deer, tapir, monkeys, camels and other animals.

I like tigers because they are strong and beautiful.

Я хочу рассказать о тигре. Он похож на очень большую кошку. Он оранжевый с вертикальными черными полосами. Живот и грудь тигра белые с черными полосками.

Тигры - опасные могущественные животные. Они могут убивать людей.

Тигр охотится на оленей, тапиров, обезьян, верблюдов и других животных.

Мне нравятся тигры, потому что они сильные и красивые.
