This is a very nice area. My office is near. I can go on foot to work.Near my home, there’s a big park. My apartment is very cozy. I have a living room, a bedroom,  a kitchen and a bathroom. And a very nice balcony. I see the park from here. What a wonderful view!

Лето — совершенно особенное время года, и ни один русский человек не относится к нему так же, как к остальным, ведь действительно солнечного и тёплого времени в России не так уж и много (если вы не живёте на солнечном юге). 
Сегодня поговорим о типичных русских способах провести время летом.
