Writing Essay ② My Favorite Country is Russia!!

My favorite country is Russia! I think it is very attractive country. In fact, I didn’t know anything about Russia until I took Russian class as the second language that we have to choose when we enter this university. I didn’t expect the class, but after a few classes I had interested in the country. Then I’ll tell you the fascination of Russia.
First, I’ll tell you a grounding in Russia. As you know, the capital is Moscow and the area of this country is the biggest in the world. The area is 17,100,000 superficial kilometers! It’s forty-eight times as large as Japan, but the density of population is eight persons per one superficial kilometer. The number is a forty-two compared with Japan. The population is about 142,000,000 and more than 100 kinds of nations live there. The time difference between Japan and Russia is seven hours but between the end of East and West, time is different about ten hours even within the country.
Next, I'll introduce about sightseeing. There are a lot of beautiful and valuable places to visit in Russia. I recommend you to visit Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow. The square is important place for Russian. In1493, the then lard IvanⅢ mede people to maintain front of his castle and mede the square. It's present Kremlin and Red Square. From the square,
you can see beautiful shrine called Saint Basil's Cathedral. It's colorful and I think it is very interesting to see. In addition, there are remain of Lenin. He is a great plitican for the Soviet Union. If you sidit him, it will be very presious experience for you. I also recommend you to visit Herumitage Museum in Sankt-Peterburg. It's a national museum which built by Ekaterina Ⅱ in 1764. She made for her own and collected many trasures but we can see them now. Both of them what I introduced are World Heritage Site so please visit them if you have a chance to go to Russia.
Finally, I'll tell you about food in Russia. Russian dishes are not so famous in Japan, but there are many good dishes in the country. One of them is borshch. When you were Junior high school, it served for school lunch but it's not real borshch! That was just tomato soup. To cook borshch, people use beet and many kinds of meet and vegetables. Before eating it, Russian put sour into borshch. I've ever eaten it because it is difficult to eat it in Japan, but it looks delicious. I also recommend you to eat piroshki. It is sold a lot in Japan, but it's also counterfeit. It made for Japanese and it's just Chinese manju. In Japan, many piroshki are fried but most of them are always baked in Russia. I like Japanese piroshki but I really want to eat real piroshki in Russia.
As you can see, Russia is very interesting country to visit. In addition, it is next door to us. I hope that you became interested in the country. (501/10,040)
