In my country there are lots of green spaces and nature reserves. For example National park has got a lot of wildlife with many wild animals like birds and reptiles. My favourite animals are wolves and foxes.

Our climate is probably changing, but we still have four seasons – five if you include the rainy season. There are also quite environmental problems in my city. There are lots of cars and buses and they cause 90 % of the air pollution in the centre. And noise is a problem, too.

In our area you can see interesting varieties of birds like parrots and at the zoo you can see endangered species such as pandas and deers and tigers.

But in the forests and many other places of my country you can also see very dangerous predators. For example spiders, snakes, bees and bears. Tarantulas you can meet in dry areas at night. To protect themselves from a spider bite, don’t attract its attention. Remember, tarantula never attack first. If you are in nature, you must close the entrance to the tent. My advice is: stay away from places where there are tarantulas.

Not to meet the snake, be careful and watch tour step. Go and make a loud noise. Snakes are afraid of noisy areas. Never run away from it, don’t touch it. Most of them don’t attack. When you see the snake, stop and freeze, then back down but don’t turn your back to the snake. Most snakes sleep during a day and at night they hunt. Moving in the dark use a flashlight. The general rule is: don’t panic!

You can run away from killer bees but don’t rejoice. It make them angry If you can’t get indoors, run through bushes to slow them down. Don’t make any sudden movements; don’t try to take them or to see up close. It is best to go away from the place where there are these insects. Be extremely careful if you come across a mother bear with cubs by chance. Don’t try to get away – bears run fast and climb trees. Don’t try to fight back. Just be master of oneself!

Me and bear As for me , I have my own experience of meeting a bear in the wild. Once upon a time I walked in a forest in Moscow region. Suddenly, I heard a cracking sound of branches close by. I realised something big and heavy was moving towards me. When I looked I realised that it was a bear. I froze and pretended to be dead. The bear approached and sniffed me. Luckily, it lost the interest and left. After a few minutes my shock disappeared. I stood up and happily went back home.
