My name is Julia and I’m 15 years old. I live in Krasnodar, which is a large city in the south region of Russia. My family is not big. It’s just me, my parents and my grandma. The school, which I attend, is situated in a walking distance from us. My teacher, Olga Vladimirovna, often organizes school trips to other cities. Last year, we went to Saint- Petersburg for three days. It was during the holidays in May. Since then, I fell in love with this city. I’ve realized that it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. I know that there are many other nice cities in our country and abroad, but none as charming as Saint-Petersburg. Perhaps, the first thing that I noticed, when we arrived, was the unique architecture. The second eye-catching thing is the abundance of bridges across the river Neva. I can hardly distinguish which building or bridge was the best, as they are all magnificent. The Winter Palace was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful structures. I also liked the Nikolaevskiy Palace and the Savior on the Spilled Blood Cathedral. I regret that we had so little time to see all the sights, but we managed to visit Peterhof, which reminded me a kingdom of fountains, and Tsarskoe Selo. Peterhof was built on the orders of Peter the Great - the remarkable person, who ruled the country in the 17th and 18th centuries. Saint- Petersburg was even named after him and all the glorious architecture, which can now be seen in the city, is his merit. During his reign, best European masters were invited to erect the palaces, cathedrals, mansions, bridges and noble monuments. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the famous White Nights of Saint Petersburg, as they take place in June. But that’s a good reason to visit my favourite city one more time.
Last year me and my best friend played at school. We were alone , because all classes were lessons. We ran , jumped , but the teacher did not notice. Then we decided to run to the men's room , to see that there.When we ran there , we fell. Because there is a cleaner swept the floor. This sound is heard all over school.They ran to the toilet. Everyone laughed a lot.It turns out that my friend cracked his head on the sink.We explained this by the fact that the Technicals are very slippery washed fell, and when we ran, we slipped.We were very sdydno.
