"My favorite animal"
I like horses. They are very beautiful and kind. They may be of different breeds and colours, they may be domestic, and wild. I prefer white horses.
I would like to have a horse as a pet. Horses like to eat oats and hay. They are also happy to eat fruits such as apples, for example. It is a very interesting animal. They can carry heavy load. In old time when there were no trains and cars, people used horses. You can ride on a horse and even take part in horse races. Many people enjoy visiting  horse races.
"Моё любимоё животное"
Мне нравятся лошади.Они очень красивые и добрые. Они могут быть разных пород и цветов, они могут быть домашними и дикими. Я предпочитаю белых лошадей. Я хотел бы иметь лошадь в качестве домашнего животного. Лошади любят кушать овес и сено. Лошади также с удовольствием едят фрукты, такие как яблоки, например. Это очень интересное животное. Они могут нести тяжелый груз. В старые времена, когда не было поездов и автомобилей, люди использовали лошадей. Вы можете ездить на лошади и даже принять участие в скачках. Многие люди с удовольствием посещают скачки.

Hello! My name is Ксения. I live in a perfect city called Ярославль. This city is located in the coast of Volga river. All the tourists want to see our sights. There are a lot of sightseeings. For example, theatre, monastery, circus, zoo, a lot of museums and parks. Also there is a really beautiful seafront. On the weekend I amd my parents usually go to the cinema called Родина or to Юбилейный парк. People in my city are very friendly and politely. I love Ярославль. These things make it special.
