Morning is the first part of the day. It is the time from sunrise till 12 a.m. In the morning we are busy. We go to the University or to work. In the morning we say «Good morning» to one another.

CITIES. TOWNS. VILLAGES.

Houses are buildings. Schools and clubs are buildings, too. A shop is a building or a part of a building.

When there are many houses and other buildings together, they make a town. A city is a very big town.

When there are few houses and other buildings together, they make a village.

Cities, towns and villages have names. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Minsk, London, Cambridge, Oxford etc. are the names of cities.

Cities, towns and villages have streets between their buildings. On each side of the street, in front of the buildings there is a pavement. Between the pavements there is a road. People walk on the pavements, buses and cars drive on the roads.

We can go from one place to another by different means of communication.

We can go by train, by airplane (or plane), by ship, by bus, by car, etc.

We go from one large city to another by plane or train; we can get to the nearest town by bus or by train; we usually use a bicycle, a motor-cycle or a bus to get from one village to another.
