I live in Russia. Russia is a big country. Russia has a beautiful nature. There are a lot of forests, rivers, fields, mountains and colourful landscapes. I live in Kursk region.Our region has the long, rich history. A lot of world - famous persons were born here. For example, the composer Georgi Sviridov, the writers Arkadij Gaidar and Konstantin Vorobyov, the architect Vyacheslav Klykov.But the most of all I like the nature of my region. I like to go to the forest because I can gather mushrooms and berries in autumn. In winter there is a lot of snow in my region. I can ski, skate and to boggan, play snowballs and make snowman with my friends. In summer I can swim in the river. Rivers in my country are wide, blue and nice. I swim with great pleasure. I like to ride my bike, too.In spring when I walk in forest I`m glad to hear the singing of Kursk nightingale. The singing of Kursk nightingale is famous in Russia and abroad.
