Bolshaya Sosnova is a beautiful place if you’ve never heard about it – surf in the WEB!

Our village was founded on the river bank near a pine forest about four hundred years agO.

Lovely winter nature fascinates everybody with its frost and slow snowfalL.

Spring presents you streams running away and singing songs birdS.

Hot summer brings berries and mushrooms, joy on the sandy beacH.

Autumn weaves a real Persian carpet of yellow, red and oranges leaves and rain makes seA.

You can also see in the forest a jumping squirrel or a hedgehog in a hurrY.

And I am sure you will admire fishing in our areA.

Swans find their houses on the pond and on the riverS.

Occasionally you can hear a cuckoO.

Some interesting stories from the past are usually told all our guestS.

Nobody wants to miss chance to look at the purple dawN.

Ocean of emotions is prepared for you toO.

Vivid pictures are better than on TV

Are you eager to come to us? Isn’t it a good ideA?

Hello Aysia, 
I am happy to read your letter and write back.  
I am Lena. I am 13 years old. I am in the 8th grade of Bolshesosnovskaya Comprehensive School. I live with my father, mother and sister in a semidetached house. I like summer because it is warm and we have 3 months holidays. How long are your summer holidays?  
I like New Year because it is very beautiful around and can have a lot of fun with friends and relatives. We celebrate Xmas on the 7th of January. It is not a bright holiday in my village. Some people go to the church. Other people have parties or walk in the streets.  
Can you explain what egg nog is?  
I want to learn to read your name correctly. Can you send me the trascription of your name?
