Many people like spending their holidays in the countryside. Life in the village is different from life in the city. Country air is less contaminated. There are lakes and meadows with grazing cattle. There are a lot of things you can do while staying in the countryside. You can take a stroll in the forest and listen to some birds’ singing, you can go fishing or swim in the lake. You can simply sit by the river watching sunset.
Everyone who lives in the village has their own farm. Some people rear hens, pigs or goats. Everyone has their own vegetable garden where they grow vegetables, fruit and berries. In the nearby forest they go to pick mushrooms.
In summer people stock up with firewood to stoke the stoves long winter nights.
Каждое лето я провожу несколько недель в деревне. Эта живописная местность расположена вдали от пыльного и шумного города.
Многие люди любят отдыхать в деревне. Жизнь в деревне отличается от городской. В деревне чище воздух. Там есть озера и луга, где пасется скот. В деревне всегда можно найти увлечение по душе. Можно отправиться на прогулку в лес и послушать пение птиц, поехать на рыбалку или поплавать в озере. Можно просто посидеть на берегу реки, любуясь закатом.
У всех людей, которые живут в деревне, есть свое хозяйство. Некоторые разводят кур, свиней или коз. У всех есть собственный огород, в котором они выращивают овощи, ягоды и фрукты. В близлежащий лес люди ходят за грибами.
Летом люди заготавливают дрова, чтобы топить печи долгими зимними вечерами.
Every man has his own Motherland. It`s the place, where a man was born. May be this place is usual and uninteresting for other people, but for you it is the dearest place in the world. There is no place like home. No need to roam the world in the search of the most beautiful place. You should turn around. It`s your native home place, the land, where you were born, whose beauty you imbibed with your mother`s milk. One of such place is my native village. The history of my village began in the 18th century, when the people began to settle on the left bank of the river Severski Donets (Siverskoye), so the first name of the village wasderived from the name of this river. Later the village was renamed in Krivtsovo. The people of my village are very hospitable, they are always glad to meet the guests. We have many interesting traditions, such as: Festivals of folk and children`s song, we celebrate the Day of the Village, Farewell Winter Festival and the Day of old people. This place is for those people who are looking for peace and a lovely rural environment. There is no traffic noise here. So, if you want to walk on a carpet of meadows and flowers or climb the hills covered with thick woods or fish in our ponds or drink the crystal clear water, Krivtsovo is just this place, which you must visit!
Welcome to our village!
На английском языке. Life In The Countryside
I have always wanted to spend more time in the countryside. My family and I live in the suburbs of a big city. My grandparents live in the village not far from us. We often visit them and in summertime I can stay there for a month or two. I enjoy being in the countryside more than in the city. My grandparents own a small country house at the edge of the forest. There is a spacious garden and a chicken coop behind the house. Life in the city is boring for me. It consists of school and several friends. Whereas in the country I can swim in the local lake, pick berries and mushrooms, help my grandparents with the garden, go for a walk in the woods, read a book under the shed, go camping with friends and do many other interesting activities. I think that life in the village is fantastic! I really enjoy spending my weekends and holidays there. If I grow up I’d like to have a house in the countryside instead of a city flat. I prefer old-fashioned, wooden houses with traditional Russian ornaments in it. I’d like to plant many fruit trees and colourful flowers around my house. If there is a river or a pond nearby, it would be perfect. I like swimming and sunbathing in summer. To make my life complete there, I need some pets. Most of all I like cats and dogs but I can also keep a dozen of chickens in the village. They will supply me with fresh eggs every day. The best thing about living in the countryside is the fresh air and relaxing atmosphere. Перевод на русский язык. Жизнь в деревне
Я всегда хотел(а) проводить больше времени в сельской местности. Мы с семьей живем на окраине большого города. Мои бабушка и дедушка живут в деревне недалеко от нас. Мы часто посещаем их, а в летнее время я могу оставаться там в течение месяца или двух. Мне нравится бывать в сельской местности больше, чем в городе. У моих бабушки и дедушки есть небольшой домик в деревне на краю леса. За домом есть просторный сад и курятник. Жизнь в городе скучна для меня. Она состоит из школы и нескольких друзей. В то время как в деревне я могу плавать в местном озере, собирать грибы и ягоды, помогать бабушке с дедушкой с огородом, ходить на прогулку в лес, читать книгу под навесом, ходить в поход с друзьями и заниматься многими другими интересными вещами. Я думаю, что жизнь в деревне прекрасна! Мне очень нравится проводить там свои выходные и каникулы. Если я вырасту, я хотел(а) бы иметь свой дом в сельской местности, а не городскую квартиру. Я предпочитаю старомодный, деревянные дом с традиционными русскими украшениями в нем. Я хотел(а) бы посадить вокруг дома много фруктовых деревьев и красочных цветов. Если рядом будет река или пруд, это будет превосходно. Я люблю плавать и загорать летом. Чтобы сделать мою жизнь там полноценной, мне нужны домашние питомцы. Больше всего я люблю кошек и собак, но в деревне я также могу держать десяток кур. Они будут снабжать меня свежими яйцами каждый день. Самое лучшее в жизни в сельской местности – это свежий воздух и спокойная атмосфера.
Наверное каждый житель как села, так и крупного мегаполиса – задается, порой, отчасти риторическим вопросом: Где лучше жить? В городе или в деревне? В этом простеньком сочинении вы, возможно, найдете ответ. Comparative Essay on City Life vs. Village Life
Though Indian is mainly a land of villages, there are many cities as well in the country. Some of the cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are very big. They have a population of several millions. Life in these big cities is quite different from the life in a village. Let us here consider, in brief, the life in a big city and point out some of its important advantages and disadvantages.
In big cities we find good arrangements for education. Big colleges even universities, are found here. Even a person of ordinary means can give his sons and daughters the highest education according to their financial capacity. There are also a very large number of schools both for boys and girls in very city. They also provide well-equipped libraries and reading rooms for public use. Such arrangements do not exist in small towns and villages.
Cities also provide ample medical facilities. In every city, there are good hospitals in which the poor get free medicines and treatment. Many well-qualified private doctors are also there to serve the sick and the suffering. Lack of such medical arrangement is a drawback of villages.
Besides this, cities also provide many fine opportunities for amusement and recreation. In every city there are a number of cinema houses and theatres, where we can enjoy the best pictures and dramatic performance. There are also a number of restaurants and hotels where we can get food, tea, etc, of the finest quality. There are also many parks and gardens where we can enjoy natural beauty at is best. The markets of the city, specially when brilliantly lighted at night, are better than many exhibitions and fairs.
The most important advantages of cities is the availability of avenues of employment. They are centres of trade and commerce. There are big offices as well as large number of factories and mills. Persons with every kind of qualification can easily find jobs to suit them. No such opportunities exist in villages where the people depend mostly on agriculture.
There are many other advantages of city life. City people are more cultured and refined. There we find opportunities to mix with people from every corner of the country as also from foreign countries. We meet people who have different nature, different ideas, and different ways of living and thinking. In this way, our outlook is broadened and our views enlarged.
Cities have many disadvantages also. The remark of the English poet Cowper “God made the country and man made the town” is quite true. In the City, we cannot enjoy the beauties of nature, as we can do in villages. City life is artificial. Man lives cut off from nature. He cannot appreciate the charms of birds and flowers, or the beauty of the day-dawn and the sunset as in villages.
City life is extremely unhealthy. Air pollution, water pollution and sound pollution have converted the city life into hell. The smoke coming out a number of factories makes the atmosphere dirty. The sky is always covered with black clouds. The people get no opportunity to breathe free and pure air, or to enjoy clear sunshine. Beside this, food in the cities is dirty and adulterated. We cannot get pure milk and ghee. The food sold in the market is entirely unwholesome and unfit for consumptions. The villages suffer from no such drawbacks.
One has to face many difficulties in a big city. Life is every costly. People have to live with pomp and show. A simple life, like that of the villages, is impossible in the city. Beside, the cities are over-crowded and people get very little accommodation. Rates are high and newcomers have to put up with a great deal of hardship. Distances are long and much time is wasted in going from one place to another.
People in the city do not have much sympathy for others. There is no fellow-feeling. That sympathy and close interdependence which is so marked in villages life is entirely lacking in the city. Such is the life in big city. That is why many people do not like to live there. Others prefer it owning to its medical and cultural advantages. It is all a matter of taste. I, myself, like to live in a village in the close vicinity of a city so that I may enjoy the pleasures both of the city and the country.
Many people like spending their holidays in the countryside. Life in the village is different from life in the city. Country air is less contaminated. There are lakes and meadows with grazing cattle. There are a lot of things you can do while staying in the countryside. You can take a stroll in the forest and listen to some birds’ singing, you can go fishing or swim in the lake.

Welcome to our village!
Каждый человек имеет свою малую Родину. Это место, где ты родился. Возможно, это место обычно и неинтересно для других, но для вас это самое лучшее место на земле, и нет необходимости колесить по всему свету в посках лучшего места. Оглянитесь вокруг! Это ваша родная сторона, место, где вы родились, чью красоту вы впитали с молоком матери. Одним из таких мест является мое родное село. История моего села начинается с 18 века, когда люди, пораженные красотой первозданной природы, начали расселяться на левом берегу реки Северский Донец, поэтому первоначальное название моей деревни было Сиверское. Позже дереня была переименована. Люди моей деревни очень дружелюбны, они всегда рады гостям. В нашей деревне много традиций таких, как фестиваль народной и детской песни, день села, проводы масленицы, день пожилых. Кривцово для тех , кто хочет жить в согласии и мире, кого привлекает деревенская жизнь. Жизнь здесь спокойная и размеренная. Итак, если выхотите побродить по бескрайним лугам, подышать лесным воздухом, порыбачить и попить хрустальной родниковой воды , Кривцово как раз таки и является тем местом, которое вы должны посетить!
Добро пожаловать в Кривцово!
