1. There are many beautiful rivers in Florida, but none of them attract me so much or give me the joy of the Crystal. This amazing river, together with two oth-ers, snake their way toward the Gulf of Mexico. Within a few miles subtropical landscape turns into meadows of grass and then into is-lands of grass – it is the shallow be-ginning of the Gulf of Mexico. The waters here are dangerous, as the bottom of the river is very rocky.

The coastal marshes that surround the rivers have a lot of food for fish. Fish are plentiful here. Everything is quiet, and I can only hear the water splashing against my boat. I put a fly on the line, and it begins its beautiful journey. The fly sinks deep. A moment later the rod bends (сгибается), and the water splashes. The air is full of fish. The beautiful fish is at the side of the boat. I admire the silver fish with its huge eyes staring at me, and after a short moment I let it go back to the waters of the gulf.

The weather is absolutely marvellous. The water is clear and flat and shines in the sun. I can see right to the bottom and watch a turtle (водная черепаха) in the river.

It is times like this that you wonder what you have done right in your life to have such a fabulous gift.

2. I enjoy vegetable gardening. I really think it's a relaxing recre-ational activity.

You can use your backyard or front lawn¹, but if you are living in a flat, you might have to grow your vegetables or herbs in containers on your windows or on the balcony.

You should take into account that most plants want lots of sunshine, regular watering, support and rich soils (почвы). All of them will need your care, some of them more, some less. But of course you have to look at the amount of time you have, be-fore you decide what type of plants you want to grow. If you are a beginner, growing peas, carrots, cucumbers and beans are the easiest.

But there are a few benefits as well. You will enjoy the fruits of your labour, save some money on buying vegetables and eat fresh and healthy food.

3. I am a dedicated mushroom-picker all through the sum-mer to autumn. For some it is sport, for some it's a matter of gathering some extra money. For yet others, it's the way to spend some good time with family, among beautiful woods, which have always been and are there. There's a special feeling when you find the first mushroom – you feel you must take part in the mushrooming fun and give it up only when the basket is full². If you decide to join the fun, be careful! There are some poi-sonous ones too. Unfortunately, there are more of them than good ones. For example, toadstools, which have red caps with white spots on them. Eating one could cause serious health problems.

We usually go for yellow chanterelles ['tʃa:ntərelz]. You can seldom take them for (принять за) anything else. But the best of course are penny buns, or ‘bo-letus’. There's a number of re-cipes to cook mushrooms. My favourite is mushroom sauce. It's cooked mushrooms, which are then baked in the oven with melted butter, mixed with sour cream, onions, and spices like salt, pepper, garlic, dill... Can you share your recipe?
