         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hello my dear teacher.</div><div> I want to tell you about my best friend.  Her name is Elizabeth.  But I often call her Lizzy.  She was born in Moscow, but moved with her family to Nakhabino as a child.  Her mother is from the Don, and her grandfather is a Don Cossack.  She is very proud of it.  We met at school.  Now she studies at the university as a policewoman.</div><div> Lisa has long straight blond hair.  She has green eyes, full lips and very beautiful high cheekbones.  She is  medium height and rather thin.</div><div> I love her sense of humor, she is very funny.  She is often impatient, but also very kind and affectionate, because she has a big warm heart.</div><div> She likes wathing TV shows and listening to music.  She learned the piano for 7 years and loves playing  it, as well as singing.  Before, we often liked to watch football.  We supported the same team and even chose husbands there, because we were small and thoughtless, it seemed funny to us.</div><div> I am so glad I met her.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Today I’ll tell you about one of my favorite photos from the last 2 year. It’s a photo with my family.We took this photo 2 years ago in Thailand. It was March 2018. We were spending our first days in Phuket. And we decided to go to Khao Lak park.That was a whole-day excursion. We went rafting down the river,  were near the waterfalls. Visited tortoises’ fаrm. In the afternoon  we arrived to an elephants’ farm. One part of this excursion was riding an elephant. We had already known about local photographers and asked to take a photo of us. And what does this photo look like? In this photo we are sitting at the elephant in a special basket. It was sunny and very hot, we wanted to go to the shadow of the trees but our elephant didn’t want to. It didn’t move. We understood that it was (elephant) posing and we did the same. So the photographers had time to take many good photos. After the trip we chose one of them and printed it out.This was our first photo where we were together on this vacation. And the first photo with the elephant with our younger daughter.So, after we were back home, we put this photo on our family-wall. To remember that we had spent a wonderful day.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of my favourite photos is the one of a beautiful stranger with me.</div><div>My brother took the photo in the summer of 2017 when we were on holiday in Airlie Beach, Australia. It was in August but in Australia it was rather cold like winter in our part of the world and there were very few tourists. </div><div>We were at a very nice and elegant apartment hotel. In this place we enjoyed a very beautiful ocean view because the hotel is located on a hill. That morning I went to the pool to watch the sunrise. Imagine my suprise when I saw cockatoos sitting on the floor. There were so many of them and they weren’t at all afraid of me. It was fascinating. One of the cockatoos sat on my shoulder and at that moment my brother took this photo. I was scared but very happy. </div><div>I love this photo because it reminds me of the lovely morning. I remember this place with great love and dream of returning there again. </div><div>I have the photo on my hard drive disk with other photos of my life.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Hi, Irina!My name is Natalya, and you can call me Natasha. I&#39;m from Russia and now I live in Israel with my husband and children. I don’t  have any pets, but I want to have a cat. There are many stray cats here, and people give them water and food every day.I am 36 years old. I am a lawyer, but now I am on maternity leave.I&#39;m going to tell you about myself. As you can see from the photo, I have straight blond hair and brown eyes. I am tall and slim.I am serious, but very sociable. I am a kind, nice, friendly and modest person. I like advice and criticism to a reasonable extent. I spend all my time with my children. I like it, I love them very much and I don&#39;t want to change it, to return to my job. In  my free time, I like dancing, watching TV series, reading books and going on Instagram. Sometimes I learn English and do sports. When it was possible, I liked jogging on the beach, admiring the sea and breathing the sea air. It was very important to me to be alone and relax after all day with little children, cleaning and cooking. Now it is impossible because of quarantine.Please write soon and tell me about you and your life.Best wishes,Natasha</title>

         <title>I like the photo where I am with children. My friend  took this photograph two weeks ago.  We were walking with the children in the wasteland.  There was a sunset.  My friend offered to take a picture of me.  But when we started taking photos, the children ran to us and climbed onto me. That’s how this photo appeared. </title>

         <title>Hi,I live in Tel-Aviv, which is an important city in Israel. It has a population of over 460 000 people. Located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline. There are a lot of tourists all over the year.Tel-Aviv is one of the richest cities in Israel because it&#39;s the economic and technological center of the country. Tel-Aviv is home to Tel Aviv university, the largest university in Israel with more than 30000 students. Tel-Aviv is home to different architectural styles that represent influential periods in its history.The weather in Tel-Aviv is typical of the Mediterranean climate, and enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Winters are rainy, summers are sunny and hot and dry.Tel-Aviv is known as &quot;the city that never sleeps&quot; and a &quot;party capital&quot; due to its thriving nightlife, young atmosphere and famous 24-hour culture. The beaches of Tel-Aviv and the city&#39;s promenade play a major role in the city&#39;s cultural and touristic scene, often  ranked as some of the best beaches in the world. For example, HaYarkon park is the most visited urban park in Israel, with 16 million visitors annually. About 19% of the city land is green space.What I like best about Tel-Aviv is that we can relax or walk near the sea, we can swim in the sea every day, and that people are very friendly. I  call Tel-Aviv &quot;the flower city&quot; because of lots of flowers everywhere. I like warm weather in the winter. I like a lot of parks and mountains near the city.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I live in the village Kozino, which is located in the northwest of the Moscow region. It has a population of about 1000 people. It’s near Nahabino.</div><div> </div><div>Kozino is a very nice place. There are many private houses and only 3 three-storey blocks of flats. We only have two grocery stores, but there is no need for more.</div><div> </div><div>It’s warm enough in summer, of course if it doesn’t rain. You can swim in the river and sunbathe. Autumn is warmer than spring, because spring is terribly proclaimed here and snow can fall in May. In winter the temperature drops to minus 10 degrees of Celsius. This Is the typical weather for the Moscow region.</div><div> </div><div>The village is famous for its church, which has an interesting history. In the 16th century in Russia the village belonged to the Orthodox Church and there was a white-stone church here, but during the Second World War  it was blown up. There is a wooden church  instead of the temple now.</div><div> </div><div>There are large fields and a forest around the place where I live. My favorite place is a meadow with oak trees. I like living close to nature and I also like that there are few people here. It inspires me and makes my life a little calmer.</div>]]></description>

         <title>This is one of my favorite photos. I took this photo last year. It was the last summer day. My friends and I were in Altai and we visited two lakes called Multinsky. We spent three days there.  I took this photo when my friends were sleeping. I woke up at 7:00 to see the sunrise in the mountains. Although it was a cold and foggy morning, it was warm in the afternoon. I walked around the lake and took some beautiful photos. But I like this photo more because it conveys the grandeur and silence of the mountains. When I look at this photo I feel mortification and quiet. I like this photo because it reminds me of a good time.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My best vacation was 4 years ago. It was my first vacation in Europe. I flew to Italy with my little son. Egor was 10 months old. Our stroller was broken after the flight. We used the baby carrier and we walked a lot. We ate delicious Italian pizza and pasta. But our apartment was basic and far away from the city center. There wasn't any heating. Despite this, the vacation was wonderful.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Every year I travel on my Bday, but my best bday was one year ago. I flew to Istanbul alone I was there from 14 to 17 October, when I lived in a hotel in the Galata area.&nbsp;<br>on my bday I went to Kılıc Ali Pasa Hamam,</div><div><br>Hamam has a special time for women and a different time for men. Having come to the hammam, I paid and signed a contract, after that the lady gave welcome tea and Turkish sweets to me, and showed me where I can undress, after I changed into a towel.&nbsp; The lady invited me to the hot room, where the ritual itself was held.<br>To relax and soften my skin as well as to help my body to get used to the heat of the Hamam, the first I laid down on the Göbektaşı, the hexagon heated marble in the middle, for at least 10 minutes. Then, the attendant took me to the next to the Kurna (the marble water basin) where she washed my body with a special scrubbing mitten, the kese. After rinsing, the final step of the ritual – Köpük (bubble soap wash) and I was rubbed with a loofah, I felt relaxed/ good/ it made me feel good.</div><div>leaving me with a feeling of purification.</div><div>And after Hamam I left the hot rooms right after the ritual to camegah. Camegah is the area where you may rest on the comfortable sofas and taste the traditional refreshments and delicacies of the Café Menu.&nbsp;<br>After Hamam, I went to have breakfast and walked around the museums of modern art.&nbsp; and&nbsp; I had pasta for a gala dinner in an Italian restaurant.</div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
