Dear Danielle

I’d like to tell you about my trip to Russia. My aunt Raya lives in the old Russian city Voronezh. It was founded in 1585 on the Don and Voronezh rivers. Peter the First built the 1-st Russian fleet there.

There are a lot of places of interest in this city. First, we visited “The Puppets’ Show Theatre “Buffon”” and saw the play «Winnie the Pooh and everybody…”. We were lucky to buy the tickets for a show of the Moscow Circus and to see it in the Voronezh Circus.

We saw the building of the Voronezh State Opera Theatre, the monuments to the outstanding writes Bunin, Platonov, the famous poet Koltsov, to Peter the First.

We walked along the Admiralteyskaya Square, the old Stone Bridge. We took some photos of the beautiful fountains in Koltsovsky park.We also saw Ilyinskaya and Spasskaya churches.

So it was unforgettable (very interesting) trip. I hope to hear from you soon.

BLUE JEANS

Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle of the Gold Rush. Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Levi Strauss came to sell canvas to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Levi Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents.

One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn't find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing. Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of this canvas and made it into pants. These pants were what the miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made.

Strauss wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called serge de Nimes. The miners liked this fabric. They called it "denim" (from de Nimes) and bought even more pants from Strauss.

However, denim had no colour. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed the denim blue.

Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world. And jeans are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.
