21st FIFA World Cup was held in Russia from June 14th to July 15th, 2018. This was the first time the World Cup took place in Russia. In 2010, FIFA announced that Russia had won the right to host the 2018 World Cup. In 2014 Russia began preparation for this important event. They built training camps for the 32 national teams that had qualified. They also built or renovated twelve stadiums in which the tournament's 64 matches would be held. The biggest is Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium where the opening match took place on June 14 and where the World Cup Final was held on July 15. The official mascot of the 2018 FIFA World Cup was a wolf called Zabivaka which means "the scorer". Zabivaka is fluffy and has kind eyes. It was chosen by the Russian public. This World Cup brought a lot of surprises. A few months before the event people had tried to predict a possible winner. The predictions included Germany, Brazil, France and Spain. But three of these teams lost their chances long before the final. The Russian team tried their best to win the World Cup for all their passionate fans and the result surprised a lot of people. The Russian team's victory over Spain earned them a place in the quarter finals but they lost in the match with Croatia. Anyway, this was Russia’s best World Cup performance. The final took place on the 15th July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, between France and Croatia. France won the match to claim their second World Cup title.
In my childhood I usually went to the zoo with my family . Now I don't go there very often , even though I like animals and zoo very much . Most of all I like zebras and lions , because they are exotic animals and I'm interested in them . So every time I go to the zoo I firstly go to zebras to look at them and to take some photos . Then I go to the lions , but I don't take many photos with them , because I am afraid of them a little bit . Frankly speaking , not a little bit , nevertheless I like these animals . I don't remember my last visit to the zoo . Maybe it was very long ago or maybe there wasn't anything notable . Anyway I like to have a rest in the zoo , because only there I can feel that people are a part of nature
