My Friend’s City.
My name is Kate. I am ten. I am from Russia. I live in the village. I have got a family. My family is not large. I have got a mum, a dad and a brother. My mum is 35. And my dad is 40. My brother is in the 5th form.
I have got a friend. My friend Oleg lives in St.Petersburg. This is a big city. There are a lot of museums, cathedrals, theatres and cinemas in the city.
Oleg lives in a big house. There is a school near his house. Oleg goes to the 6th form. His favourite subjects are English and Russian.
On the right of his house there is a stadium and a swimming pool. Oleg plays football at the stadium and likes going to the swimming pool. He is good at swimming. On the corner of his street there is a big cathedral. On the left of the cathedral there are two cafés and a theatre.

I am too small
A little hare plays in the forest. He runs about and looks at trees and flowers. Suddenly he hears a noise. He looks up and sees a man with a gun. The little hare is afraid of the gun and wants to run away. The man raises the gun. He can kill the hare. Then the little hare cries out, “ Don’t kill me; I’m too small to make a good dinner for you. You may come to the forest and catch me when I am big, and you will have a good dinner. The hunter smiles and puts down his gun. And then he says, “very well, I’ll come back to the forest when you are big. Only you must grow quickly!” And the hunter lets the little hare go. The hare runs away and calls out, “Catch me now, if you can.”
