Answer:
Russia's main natural resources are petroleum, nickel, and natural gases. Russia also ranks in the top three producers of aluminum, gemstones, and platinum. The fertile soil on the plains also provides a lot of grains and vegetables. The forests supply the country with timber from pine, fir, spruce, and ceder trees. Fish such as salm, herring, cod, and halibut are also major resources.

Creative Writing: Many people are not aware that so much of the world’s forest land lies on Russian soil. Write a paragraph designed to persuade people of the importance of preserving Russian forests.
Answer:
The forests of Russia hold a fifth of the whole world's forest lands. That is billions of trees. Every single tree processes tons and tons of carbon dioxide that are produced by humans daily. These trees make it possible for humans to continue breathing oxygen. If you take out multiple trees, less carbon dioxide is produced, polluting the air, trapping the sun's heat, and making it dangerous for humans. In order to save the environment and save ourselves, we must preserve the trees in the forest.

Creative Writing: Imagine you are a member of Napoleon’s army invading Russia in 1812. In the form of a journal entry, write a day in your life on the march through Russia’s cold winter.
Answer:
Here is me again, writing while I'm not marching. I only right when we are resting, sitting, and trying not to freeze to death in the snow. Russia is colder than Napoleon has expected, and the cold is taking it's toll our machines and our men. All of the cars and tanks have failed us, frozen in stiff positions. So make them work, we must melt the snow and snap the gears so that they move. But this takes too long, and the tanks and cars just freeze up again anyway.
The men are cold and hungry. We have long run out of supplies, but Napoleon made us march ahead anyway, thinking that we would find supplies in the towns that we would raid. When we arrived, we found that the Russians had burned their towns and fields, exterminating all food and shelter. I must admit, the Russians are smart to deprive us of resources. Based on the rumors going around camp, Napoleon is thinking of retreating if we cannot find anymore food, or else the men will starve.
Hopefully I will be able to write back, preferaby back in Poland where it is much warmer.
Sincerely,
Julianna
