Teacher: And now pupils we shall listen information about our republic.

Pupil 1: The area of the republic is not very large. It is only about 62 thousand square kilometers. But our republic is twice as big as Switzerland. The area of the republic is about one quarter of the area of Great Britain. The population of Khakasia is 546 thousand people. At the map of Khakasia you can see 5 towns. The capital of the republic is Abakan. Other important towns are Chernogorsk(located not far from Abakan), Sorsk(situated in the central part of the republic), Abaza(which is located in the southern part of Khakasia) and Sayanogorsk (the youngest town of the republic) located in the south, not far from the river Yenisei. (the map of Khakasia)

Pupil 2: Looking at the map we can discuss the geographical position of our republic. Our republic is situated in the southern part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In the west Khakasia borders on the Kemerovo Region. Khakasia is separated from the Kemerovo Region by the Kuznetsky Alatay Mountain System. In the south-west the republic borders on the Altay territory. In the south-east Khakasia borders on the Tuva republic. In the east and in the north Khakasia borders on the district of the Krasnoyarsk territory.

Pupil 3: Our republic is very rich in water resources. There are many rivers and lakes in Khakasia. The most important rivers of the republic are the Yenisei and the Abakan. The Yenisei is one of the longest rivers in Siberia. The Yenisei rises in the Tuva republic. The river flows from the south to the north, into the Arctic Ocean. The Abakan flows from the Sayan Mountains into the Yenisei. The lakes are concentrated in the northern part of the republic, in the Shira District.The most important and the biggest lakes are Shira, Bele,Itkul and others. Lake Shira is famous for its health resort. (rivers and lakes)

Pupil 4: Our republic is famous for its high mountains. The highest mountains systems are concentrated in the south and the west of the republic. The highest point of Khakasia is Mount Karagosh. Mount Karagosh is about 3000 metres high. It is located in the Sayan Mountains. (The mountains)

Pupil 5: Our climate is different from the climate of Great Britain because Khakasia is situated almost in the centre of the continent, very far from the ocean. So winters in our region are usually rather cold (about minus thirty or even minus forty degrees).But summers in the region are usually hot and sunny (plus 20 or plus 30 degrees).

Pupil 6: The nature is very rich and beautiful. In Khakasia you can see both green forests and dry steppes. The steppes are located in the eastern part of the republic. The forests are concentrated in the south and the west of the region.

Pupil 7: Our republic is very rich in different natural resources. The most important minerals of the region are coal, iron ore and others. Very important deposits of coal are located in the central part of the republic, in the Chernogorsk area. This area is known for its coal mines. Rich iron ore deposits are located in the southern part of the region. They are concentrated in the Tashtyp District and in the Askiz District. Besides our republic is rich in gold, copper and some other metals.
