FOREST, WOOD
Victor Popov had never seen a real forest before he went to the Far East with his parents. There was only a small wood near his village. He liked it, too.
But the forest in the Far East is different. It is very large, it covers hills and mountains, it occupies a large area.1 There are a lot of wild animals there. Victor likes to spend time in the forest and to listen to what the age-old2 trees whisper3 to one another. And they do whisper!
Remember:
forest густой дремучий лес wood небольшой лес (часто употребляется woods)
1 to occupy a large area — занимать большую площадь
2 age-old — вековой
3 to whisper ['wispa] — шептать
118 Do you know that there are almost no forests in England now? The forests were cut down1 in the 18th century, when people needed much charcoal2 for their industries. But there are a lot of woods in England now, and woods are smaller and less wild than forests.
In our country forests occupy a great territory. The North, the Urals, the Far East are covered with forests. Forests are the wealth 3 of our country.
