1. In Wales it never gets very hot or very cold. May, June, July and August are the sunniest and driest month, but even in the winter a raincoat and sweater will usually cope with worst that the weather has to offer.
2. The land area is just over 8,000 square miles and Wales measures 160 miles long by 60 miles wide. Wales has extensive tracts of high plateau with

                                             2

mountain ranges. The lowland area is confined mainly to the relatively narrow coastal belts and the valley floors. Snowdon is the highest mountain at 3,650 feet.

3. Wales has a wealth of holiday cottages and private hotels, renowned for their hospitality. But visitors should get advice before walks and climbs in mountainous areas when the weather is uncertain. Wales has a mountain rescue service but let’s allow them to enjoy their day off. Parents with young children should take care when visiting the ancient castles of Wales. Moats, battlements and dungeons weren’t designed to be visitor friendly.
4. The Welsh flag has two equal horizontal stripes, white above green, and a large red dragon passant. The daffodil and the leek are also famous emblems of Wales.

   Dear Jane,

   Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you are going to visit Russia.

   The weather is usually hot or warm in summer. So I don’t think you’ll need lots of warm clothes. However, you’d better take a jacket as nights can be quite cool.

   In your letter you asked me about the life in a small town. As for me, I enjoy living in Tula. There are lots of parks, cosy cafes, some supermarkets. At the weekend I usually go to the theatre or visit a museum. Why do you love your town? What is the weather like in your town ? What do you like to do when it is raining?

   Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. Write back soon!

   Lots of love,

   Lena

Учитель: Please write down your homework. Try to write a letter to your pen-friend about the weather in Russia.

I’m pleased with your work. Well done! We’ll finish for today. Goodbye everyone, see you all tomorrow!
