live in Krasnodar with my family. It's the biggest city in Krasnodar region and its capital. It is also u
cultural, political and social center of the region. I should say that the city is really beautilul and many
people from smaller towns and villages come to work and study here. What they like about the city is wat
there are lots of interesting things to do and places to see. They also like job and study opportunities. I
are lots of good universities and large companies in Krasnodar. There are also many ways to spend the
weekends, for example, visiting a museum, going to the cinema or theatre, shopping, eating in good
restaurants, going to concerts, etc. If people want to relax they go to parks for a walk or to read a book. In
general, the city offers various opportunities and you never get bored. However, there are some
disadvantages as well. Sometimes it's difficult to find a cheap apartment, so living in a city becomes very
expensive. The roads are full of cars which pollute the air and the traffic is really heavy on weekdays. Public
transport is also over-crowded. That's why many people leave the city at weekends. They try t
countryside, where the air is much fresher and there isn't any noise from cars. We also go away each
Saturday and Sunday to visit my grandparents.

People do usually say that nature is our mother. It gives a person everything that is necessary for life, even though we don't always appreciate its gifts. What could be better than the warm sun, majestic mountains, and blooming trees in the spring? The world of nature is very rich and varied. There are hundreds of thousands of species, many of which we've never seen in our life.
We all used to live in a world that seems to be built by ourselves. We live in big houses equipped with high-tech consumer devices; we are able to travel long distances using cars, trains, and planes. We are able to know what is happening thousands of miles away, over the Internet or television. But all of this is secondary. We use the knowledge of the laws of nature and its power to create all these technologies anyway.
Cars burn petrol, factories burn coal and emit toxic fumes. The pollution is gathered in clouds that the winds carry far away. When it rains pollution lands on everything that surrounds us. This is called acid rain. Acid rain also gets into lakes, rivers, seas, and soil and pollutes everything causing serious damage. Fortunately, the governments have been trying to reduce the air pollution using new technologies. But we have to do more! but we need to do more. We can help reduce the amount of acid rain by using ours cars less or by using solar power to heat our homes.
