ответ:(на английском)Geography really helps me to know a lot about the world around me. When I read the Geography text books I learn about differents countries and continents, about the climate, relief, population, animals and plants there. It is really interesting. The maps are really helpful. On the map I can see the relief of the region, the place where the country or the city is located. Some maps show us the climate of the world or the amount of population in the region. It is very easy to describe and compare the weather, the climate and the nature in different regions of Russia and in different parts the world using the specific map. During out geography lessons the teacher teaches us to read the maps. It is very interesting.
