🔒 Challenge: Invite tourists to Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

1. a) Alex is going to answer Kate’s email and write about one of the greatest forests in Belarus. Read the article about Belovezhskaya Pushcha and match the paragraphs with the photos.

1. Belovezhskaya Pushcha is the largest forest in Belarus. The name of the pushcha comes from the name of a famous tower “Belaya Vezha” or White Tower. This tower was built in the 13th century in the town of Kamenetz which is 20 km away from Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

2. Now Belovezhskaya Pushcha is a National Park and an important tourist centre. More than a thousand giant trees grow in the forest. The oldest trees are oaks1 which are more than 500 years old.

3. Belovezhskaya Pushcha is home to many animals, birds and fish. The largest population of European bison in the world live in the forest. You can also meet red deer, wild boar, European elk, wolves, foxes, squirrels and other animals. Many rare animals and birds are on the Belarusian Red List, for example, the European bison, the lynx, the owl, the black stork and the woodpecker. Some of them are on the World Red List.

4. In 2003 Belarusian Ded Moroz’s residence was built in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. Ded Moroz lives in a big wooden house. There’s a throne-room and a study on the ground floor. The bedroom and the balcony are upstairs. His granddaughter Snegurochka lives in a small house not far from Ded Moroz’s house. There’s a ‘skarbnitsa’ — a room for children’s letters, photos, drawings, gifts and handicrafts1.

5. There are a lot of wooden sculptures ['skʌlptʃəz] in the residence. You can see Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio and other characters from famous fairy tales. There are also sculptures of the Twelve months. A legend says that if you touch the sculpture of your month and make a wish2, your wish will come true.

6. The main attraction for tourists at Christmas and New Year is a 40 meter tall fir tree3 which is decorated with ornaments, tinsel and lights. There are lovely gift shops where you can buy presents for your family and friends. Comfortable hotels, guest houses and cafes invite you to taste Belarusian national food and have a good time.

7. Belarusian Ded Moroz’s residence is open every day all year round. The opening hours are from 9 am to 6 pm. Ded Moroz answers all the letters he gets. This is his address:
