I live in Russia. It's a very big country and there are different kinds of flora and fauna in it. The most common plant that is associated with my country is a birch tree. These trees are very beautiful as they have a number of attractive qualities, like colored bark and long branches. They can grow very high. I think that these trees grow nearly everywhere in central and southern parts of Russia. Another common plant is oak which is also associated with Russia and grows everywhere on its territory. As for common animals, they are foxes, wolves, hares, squirrels and bears. They live in the forests and sometimes in the fields. In water we can see different fish and in the noth of the country we can find some mammals like seal, walrus and whale. There are also a lot of birds both sonhgbirds(nightingale, starling,canary and many more)  and waterbirds (duck, swan, goose) that inhabit the territory of our country.
Some animals have become symbols of Russia and Russian cities anв towns-as an example we can name bear. 

Hi, Emily! 

Hi, Jane! 

What's the news? 

I bought a new phone. It's amazing. It's got a very good media player and access to Internet. 

Wow, that's cool. But even though we use our phones every day, I prefer computers. 

Why? 

However good a phone's media player is, the computer's one is always better. And it's got a huge screen. 

But you can't always take it with you. For example, if you need to go on a vacation, you can't take a huge computer with you, but you always take a phone. And plus, it's got a camera, which also is always with you! Isn't it awesome? 

Well, yes. But in case you need to print something or use a program to do something, a computer is the way to. 

You're right, too. I guess both a computer and a phone have got their goods.
