St. Petersburg is the narrator's native town. It is the second largest city in Russia and was begun in 1703 by Peter the Great as the "Window to the West." The city is known for its 65 rivers and canals spanned by many bridges. Today it is a cultural center with many museums, theaters, palaces, and parks, including the favorite Yuntolovo Reserve where animals like seals, otters, and deer protected by the Red Book live alongside carnivores and birds. The students help the animals and hope to keep their town and parks clean and beautiful.

2. Our native town
We live in St Petersburg.
St Petersburg is our
native town. It is the
second largest city in
Russia and one of the
most beautiful cities in the
world. Peter the Great
began to build it as the
“Window on the West” in
1703. St Petersburg
became the capital of
Russia in 1917. There are
65 rivers, arms and
canals there with a lot of
bridges.

3. The cultural centre
Now our town is a cultural
centre. There are a lot of
museums, theatres,
palaces, monuments,
squares and parks in it.
But there is a reserve in
our city too. It is called
Yuntolovo. We often go
for a walk there. This is
our favourite place to
have a rest.

4. THE RESERVE YUNTOLOVO
The reserve Yuntolovo is
very big. There are some
rivers there. They are the
Glukharka river, the
Yuntolovka river, the
Black river, the Kamenka
river. There is a big lake-
the Lakhtinsky Razliv lake
there too. A lot of different
animals live there.

10. Wild animals live there too.
There are 58 carnivores.

12. Ladoga seal, osprey, river otter and rou-deer live
there too. All of them are in the Red Book.

14. Animals need our help. So, we feed them. We give them carrots,
bananas, apples, bread. We like animals very much!

15. We like our town too. We want to see it
clean and beautiful . We hope our town and
its parks will be clean and beautiful too!
