Russia. It was relly great! I was in St Petersburg. It's such a beautiful and interesting city. I spent two weeks there. The weather was fine. We went sightseeing. We travelled on a comfortable bus round the city. But best of all l enjoyed the palaces which are situated near St Peter. We were in Pavlovsk, Pushkin and Peterhof.

There is the greatest and the most beautiful palace in Peterhof. It was amazing to see so many fountains there. The guide told us a lot of stories and legends about them. It was interesting to listen to him. After the trip we returned to the city by ship. It was fantastic! For a minute l imagined myself as a seaman!

deaths of people and animals. This is flooding. We call it a flood when a very large amount of water covers an area that is usually dry.
I am going to use St Petersburg as an example of an area that gets regularly flooded. Floods in St Petersburg have a long history. Some of the floods were really disastrous. They not only destroyed buildings and streets but also killed and injured people.
When people started living on the Neva River in 1700, they didn't build houses — they just built light huts which could be easily put on rafts and tied to trees, so as not to be carried away by floods.
In 1715, there was a very big flood. If you look at the picture at the top you can see that some people used boats and others stayed on the roofs of their houses. All the city bridges and buildings on the banks of the river were destroyed by the flood. Many people drowned. Lots of cows, pigs and goats died.
The second picture illustrates the biggest flood the city has ever seen. It was in 1777 when the water was about 3.5 metres higher than its usual level. There were no streets and squares any more — just one big lake. The storm was severe. The following facts show the scale of the disaster: 2,000 trees were torn out and carried away. Just imagine a wooden house was moved to the opposite bank of the Neva River.
Since that time there have been big floods in the city every five years. So people started building firm constructions. They also decided to build a dam to protect the city from flooding.
To conclude I'd like to say that though floods can be severe and dangerous, people can learn how to tame them and survive.

was ordered that the students of all public schools"should play comedies twice in a year". The plays included transla­tions from the works of foreign playwrights. The teachers at the cadet school actively used theatre for teaching foreign languages and literature. As a result, the students of that school formed an amateur literary group. There was one student there whose works were so good that the president of the group showed them to the school administration and the administration paid money to publish them. That pupil later became famous as the founder of the Russian theatre. Nowadays, almost all modern US high schools and colleges have some kind of theatre production programmes. Their role is educational. Such theatres usually present the classics8 as well as modern plays. Many theatres also produce their own original plays. Sometimes a professional actor may appear in a play, but all-student casts are more usual. The plays are shown not only to students and teachers of the school but also to their parents and those who live in the town. In this way schools become centres of culture.
