a favourite subject B) I'm a pupil. I go to school five days a week. I study Maths, Russian, English, Literature, History, Nature Study, Music, Art and P. E. All the subjects are important.

Her name is Elisabeth. She is from Great Britain, from London. She is a pupil. She studies at boarding-school. She has an oval face, grey eyes, straight nose and full red lips. She has long blond hair. She is tall and slim. When she comes to my place, we will spend a lot of time together. D) There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful. But my favourite season is summer. The days are long and sunny, the rains are warm. The air is fresh. We can go to the seaside. I like to lie in the sun. Sometimes I play on the beach, make castles in the sands. I can spend my holidays in the country, too. In the woods I can gather flowers. E) New York has an interesting history. The first man who came there in 1524 was Giovanni da Verrazano. He was Italian. He travelled along the North American coast. The second traveller was Henry Hudson. He went there in 1609. He was Englishman. In 1626 the Dutch Trade Company bought Manhattan Island from the Indians. The Dutch made their colony there and gave it the name New Amsterdam. An engineer came from Holland to plan the city. He was going to build a town and a fort for the Dutch West India Company. Some of the houses were there before the engineer came. At first, he built thirty houses. Then in 1628 he built a small fort.
