Now in my letter I want to tell you about my country. You know that Russia is the largest country in the world. It is washed by twelve seas and three oceans. It has a long and interesting history. I want to say that the history of my native country is great. . The capital of Russia is Moscow with the population of about 10 million people. The head of the state is a president. The country is famous for its numerous places of interest. Russia is famous for its achievements and outstanding personalities.The country is rich in numerous lakes, rivers and woods. It is also rich in natural and mineral resources.I am sure you know a lot of stereotypes about Russian people and their country. Most of Americans and Europeans think that every Russian family lives in cold Siberia, plays balalaika and has its own brown bear instead of a dog. Actually, Russia is a big political, scientific, cultural and industrial centre now and all these stereotypes are no more than fairytales. I am very proud of the fact I was born and live in Russia!
