Task 1. Read the text and do the task
below.
What is better - the city or the
countryside?
There are a lot of different opinions about
living in the country.
Most citizens even can't imagine how
people live in the country without heating.
hot water, tele ision. On the other hand
there are many people who live there all
their life and can't imagine living in the
city. In my opinion the village is the best
place for living
There are no factories or plants in the
country, a few cars. There are big forests
around the villages, which clean the air.
The sky is blue in the village, the water is
clean, fruit and vegetables are ecologically
clean. It influences people's health.
People can enjoy the nature.
People in the village have much more time
for talking to each other than citizens do.
I'm not sure about other people, but as
for me I'd like to live in the country.

The culture of Russia is the cumulative culture of countries and nationalities living on the territory of the Soviet Union. Theatrical art, cinematography, and fine arts developed intensively. In some periods, the development of cultures of ethnic minorities, national cultures was encouraged. The Russian Empire, due to historical circumstances throughout its existence, willingly borrowed many elements of Western European culture and customs. As a result, in the understanding of the "Western" observer, the cultural level of the overwhelming population of Russia was low. However, it is impossible to overestimate the contribution of leading Russian figures to world culture.
