My favourite domestic animal is a puppy. Its name is Chapa. My puppy is very fat and kind. Its head isn’t big. Its neck is short. Its paws are small. Its  eyes are black and clever. Its ears are small. My puppy likes to eat especially milk and chicken. Most of all Chapa likes to sleep and play. It's very funny and playfull. We play every evening.  I like my puppy very much. I think dogs are very careful and clever. ( Мое любимое домашнее животное – щенок . Его зовут Чапа.  Мой щенок  очень толстый и добрый. У него небольшая голова. Его шея короткая. Его лапы маленькие.

Travelling through the Golden Ring of Russia, I saw a lot of interesting things, a lot of beautiful cities. But most of all I remember Rostov, Yaroslavl and Ivanovo. Rostov has a lot of monasteries. They are very beautiful and picturesque.There were a lot of tourists from different countries. In Yaroslavl I saw many monuments and other valuable architectural sites ​​and a lot of transport. In Ivanovo I saw the House-ship. And there are many museums. The weather changed very often. At first it was sunny and warm and then cold and cloudy. I liked my journey. Russia is a  beautiful country. And I advise you to see it too.
