Iwould like to tell about karlsson, my favourite character from a famous book written by swedish author astrid lindgren. karlsson is a short, stout, overconfident man, who lives in a small house on the roof of an ordinary apartment building. karlsson has a button on his belly. when he presses this button, it activates a little propeller on his back. thanks to this he can fly. karlsson made friends with lillebror, a little boy who lived in one of the flats. his parents love him very much, however lillebror often feels lonely.  karlsson and lillebror became best friends. we don't know how old karlsson is, but his jokes and games seem to be very funny for little children.  karlsson is very imaginative. a lot of ideas cross his mind all the time. he knows how to entertain the little boy. karlsson is a real expert when it comes to playing a trick. despite all this, i would say that karlsson is a positive character. he supports lillebror, he is always there when the boy needs him, he listens to him and helps him a lot. я бы хотел рассказать о карлсоне – моем любимом герое из знаменитой книги, написанной шведской писательницей астрид линдгрен. карлсон – маленький, толстенький и самоуверенный человечек, который живет в небольшом домике на крыше обычного многоквартирного дома. у карлсона на животе есть кнопка. когда он нажимает на эту кнопку, у него на спине начинает работать маленький пропеллер. этому он может летать. карлсон подружился с малышом – маленьким мальчиком, который жил в одной из квартир.  его родители   любят его, однако малыш часто чувствует себя одиноким.  карлсон и малыш стали лучшими друзьями. мы не знаем, сколько лет карлсону, но его шутки и игры кажутся смешными для маленьких детей.  у карлсона богатое воображение. у него в голове всегда много идей. он знает, как развлечь маленького мальчика. когда дело доходит до проделок, карлсон – настоящий эксперт. несмотря на все это, я бы сказал, что карлсон положительный герой. он поддерживает малыша, он всегда рядом, когда мальчик нуждается в нем, он выслушивает его и во многом .  

Spices diversity of wild animals differs greatly from one region of the world to another one. Almost all the world’s largest animals live in southern countries, where there is enough food and the weather conditions are more or less even throughout the year. For example, the biggest terricole is the African bush elephant, which inhabits vast savannas of this continent. The highest animal in the world is the giraffe, which also lives in Africa. Both the giraffe and the elephant are herbivorous, i.e they eat only plant food. Interestingly, the world’s largest carnivore lives in the Arctic. It is the polar bear, which is considered to be one of the largest, heaviest and the most dangerous wild animals. Its diet consists mostly of fish and small marine animals. And as for the biggest marine mammal, it is, of course, the blue whale. . To my mind, the most unusual wild animals live in Australia. It is, for example, the kangaroo – the most well-know marsupial mammal, which breeds the young in the pouch. It is also a koala bear – a sluggish wooly animal which is often called the symbol of Australia. Finally, Australia is home for the emu, the second largest flightless bird in the world.. As for my homeland, the most famous Russian wild animal is, of course, the bear. Also in vast taiga forests one can meet wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels, wild pigs, roe deer, and so on. Some of them can be rather dangerous, especially in mating season.
