Я родилась (ся) и живу в Казахстане. Казахстан — моя Родина, мое Отечество. Земля, где родился человек и вырос, остается в его сердце навсегда. Горы и равнины, реки и озера, бескрайние степи и песчаные пустыни — все это наш Казахстан. До чего же разнообразен животный мир! Каспийский осетр, горный барс, архары, сайгачье стада, беркут и сокол, много-много других животных и птиц всегда являлись и являются гордостью казахстанцев.
I was born (be) and live in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan — my Motherland, my Fatherland. The land where the person was born and raised, remains in his heart forever. Mountains and plains, rivers and lakes, boundless steppe and sandy deserts — all our Kazakhstan. What diverse wildlife! Caspian sturgeon, mountain leopard, argali, saiga herds, eagle and Falcon, many other animals and birds have always been the pride of the Kazakh people.
Boris woke up when it was already quite light. He looked at his watch. It was a quarter to seven. Quick! Boris jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. He had just time to take a cold shower and drank a glass of tea with bread and butter. He was in a hurry to catch the eight o'clock train. At the railway station he met three other boys from his group. They all had small backpacks and fishing rods. In less than an hour they got off the train at a small station near a wood. They walked very quickly and soon found themselves on the shore of a large lake. The boys spent the whole day there fishing, boating and swimming. They returned home late at night, tired but happy.
