You will certainly hear the wonderful sounds of the earth.
It is necessary to reduce the text from 7 paragraphs to 4. In the Meshchera region there are no special beauties and riches, except forests,meadows and clear air. But still this region has great attractive power. He is very modest - just like Levitan's paintings. But in it, as in these paintings, lies all the charm and all the diversity of Russian nature, imperceptible at first glance.
What can you see in the Meshchera region? Flowering or mown meadows, pine forests, forest lakes overgrown with black bush, haystacks smelling of dry and warm hay. Hay in stacks keeps you warm all winter.
I have had to spend the night in haystacks in October, when the grass at dawn is covered with frost, like salt. I dug a deep hole in the hay, climbed into it and slept all night in a haystack, as if in a locked room. And over the meadows there was cold rain and the wind came at oblique blows.
In the Meshchera region you can see pine forests, where it is so solemn and quiet that the bell of a lost cow can be heard far away, almost a kilometer away. But such silence exists in the forests only on windless days. In the wind, the forests rustle with the great sound of the ocean and the tops of the pine trees bend after the passing clouds.
In the Meshchera region you can see forest lakes with dark water, vast swamps covered with alder and aspen, lonely huts of foresters, sand, juniper, heather, schools of cranes and stars familiar to us at all latitudes.
What can you hear in the Meshchera region except the hum of pine forests? The cries of quails and hawks, the whistle of orioles, the fussy knocking of woodpeckers, the howl of wolves, the rustling of rain in the red needles, the evening cry of an accordion in the village, and at night - the multi-voiced crowing of roosters and the clapper of the village watchman.
But you can see and hear so little only in the first days. Then every day this region becomes richer, more diverse, dearer to the heart. And finally, the time comes when each willow tree above the dead river seems like its own, very familiar, when amazing stories can be told about it.

The birds wake up before the sun rises. People are sleeping in their houses, the occasional car makes noise, but the awakened forest is already full of life, the earth is breathing deeply. There is nothing in nature more musical than the early morning.
Answer from Dasha Strutskaya[newbie]
Listen, standing in a forest or field, you will certainly hear the sounds of the earth. It could be the murmuring of a stream, or the splash of river waves, the singing of birds or the thunder of a distant thunderstorm, the rustling of grass or the crackling of frost. All these are sounds of the earth, which city people are unaccustomed to hearing. It is all the more joyful for such a person, who has not yet completely lost the feeling of his native nature, to visit the forest, field, or river.
For farmers and hunters, the sounds of the earth are precious. It is impossible to list them.
I remember with joy the sounds of the earth. I remember the mysterious sounds of the forest, the breath of my native land. And now they excite and delight me.
Answer from Valery Nikitin[newbie]
Listen carefully, standing in the forest or among an awakened flowering field, and you will certainly hear the wonderful sounds of the earth. At all times, people affectionately called her mother earth.
The murmur of a spring stream or the splash of river waves on a sandy shore, the singing of birds or the thunder of a distant thunderstorm, the rustle of flowering meadow grasses or the crackling of frost on a winter night, the fluttering of green leaves on the trees or the crackling of grasshoppers along a well-trodden meadow path - all these are countless sounds of spring. Unfortunately, urban people, deafened by the noise of cars, have lost the habit of hearing them. It is all the more joyful for such a person, who has not yet completely lost the feeling of his native nature, to visit the forest, on the river, in the field, to gain spiritual strength.
What a good new morning! Even before sunrise, the birds wake up, starting to sing joyfully. People sleep in stone houses, the occasional car makes noise, but the awakened forest is already full of life, the earth is breathing deeply. There is nothing in nature more musical than the early morning.

Standing in the forest or among a flowering field, you will hear the wonderful sounds of the earth. At all times, people affectionately called her mother earth.
Urban people are no longer accustomed to hearing the countless sounds of spring. It is all the more joyful for such a person to visit the forest, the river, the field, and gain spiritual strength.
The birds wake up before the sun rises. People are sleeping in their houses, the occasional car makes noise, but the awakened forest is already full of life, the earth is breathing deeply. There is nothing in nature more musical than the early morning.
How beautiful and tender these modest northern flowers are! I once admired them on the shores of Novaya Zemlya, on Franz Josef Land, covered with eternal glaciers. During the short polar summer, golden delicate flowers bloom near the unmelted glaciers - polar poppies, and modest saxifrages bloom blue in the cracks of stone rocks. I saw especially many flowers on the shores of Lake Taimyr, in the tundra, where we once spent the summer and where no one had ever looked before us.
In the early polar spring, when there is dense sparkling snow everywhere, but the never-setting sun is already shining, flowers begin to come to life under the snow. On the southern slopes of the hills, where the midnight sun warms more, here and there small greenhouses under the snow are visible, covered with a thin film of transparent ice. In these greenhouses, plants come to life and prepare for summer. There are still severe frosts over the endless snowy desert, and there is warmth in the snowy greenhouses, where life-giving sunlight penetrates through a thin film of transparent ice. If you break the thin crystal-transparent ice film covering the greenhouses under the snow, the plants die.
At the beginning of the late polar summer, when the snow begins to melt in the tundra, plants gain strength. The stems of northern flowers are covered with a fluffy, warm coat. Northern flowers differ from the lush flowers of the south by their special subtle tenderness. They wither quickly if you pick them and put them in a glass of water.
There are, of course, very few flowers in the polar tundra. They huddle on the southern slopes of stone outcrops. Surprising and unusual: it’s winter all around, the snow lies almost untouched, and next to the deep snowdrifts the wind sways the most delicate fresh flowers on shaggy stems! Among the fragments of stones, polar poppies bloom, siversia burns with golden wreaths, and polar forget-me-nots spread out in a lush blue carpet. Polar forget-me-nots are especially good.
Already in the middle of the polar summer, when hordes of mosquitoes appeared over the tundra, I found small pinkish flowers growing separately that had an amazing aroma. In the North there are absolutely no thorny and tough plants covered with lush flowers, which abound in the hot South. The sparse plant nature of the far North is surprisingly gentle and pleasant.
SOUNDS OF THE EARTH
Sounds of the earth
Listen carefully, standing in the forest or among an awakened flowering field, and if you still have sensitive hearing, you will certainly hear the wonderful sounds of the earth, which at all times people so affectionately called Mother Earth. Be it the murmur of a spring stream or the lapping of river waves on the coastal sand, the singing of birds or the thunder of a distant thunderstorm, the rustle of flowering meadow grasses or the crackling of frost on a winter night, the fluttering of green leaves on the trees or the crackling of grasshoppers along a well-trodden meadow path, the rise of a lark and the sound of ears of grain. , the quiet fluttering of butterflies - all these are countless sounds of the earth, which city people, deafened by the noise of cars, have lost the habit of hearing.
It is all the more joyful for such a person, who has not yet completely lost the feeling of his native nature, to visit the forest, on the river, in the field, to gain spiritual strength, which, perhaps, is what we need most.
For farmers and us, experienced hunters, the sounds of the earth are precious. It is perhaps impossible to list them. They replace music for us, and wasn’t it from these sounds that the best things that were captured in songs and great musical creations arose?
I now remember with joy the sounds of the earth that once captivated me as a child. And is it not from those times that the best things that are embedded in my soul remain? I remember the mysterious sounds of the forest, the breath of the awakened native land. And now they excite and delight me. In the silence of the night, I hear even more clearly the breath of the earth, the rustling of a leaf over a fresh mushroom rising from the ground, the fluttering of nightly light butterflies, the crow of a rooster in a nearby village...
How good and unforgettable every new morning is! Even before sunrise, the birds wake up and begin to sing joyfully. People are sleeping in stone houses, the occasional car is making noise, but the awakened forest is already full of life, the earth is breathing deeply. There is nothing in nature more musical than the early morning. The streams ring even more silvery, the forest herbs smell more fragrant, and their aroma miraculously merges with the musical symphony of the morning.
Lark
Of the many sounds of the earth - the singing of birds, the fluttering of leaves on the trees, the crackling of grasshoppers, the murmur of a forest stream - the most cheerful and joyful sound is the song of field larks and meadow larks. Even in early spring, when there is loose snow on the fields, but in some places the first dark thawed patches have already formed in the warming weather, our early spring guests - the larks - fly in and begin to sing. Rising into the sky in a column, fluttering its wings, permeated through with sunlight, the lark flies higher and higher into the sky, disappearing into the shining blue. The song of a lark welcoming the arrival of spring is amazingly beautiful. This joyful song is like the breath of the awakened earth.
Many great composers tried to depict this joyful song in their musical works. Even inexperienced city people living far from nature, when traveling outside the city, heard the cheerful songs of larks. Only the most stupid of them, deafened by the roar of cars and modern noisy music, are not able to hear the joyful sounds of the earth.
Even in my distant rural childhood, I loved listening to the songs of larks. You walk along a path in the rye, admiring the blue cornflowers. To the right and to the left, larks take off and sing into the sky. The heavenly space is filled with wonderful music. Grasshoppers chirp loudly, and turtle doves coo at the edge of the nearby forest. You walk, you walk, you lie with your back on the ground, feeling its maternal warmth through the thin fabric of your shirt. You look and can’t see enough of the high summer sky, the ears of corn bent over your face.
The life of larks is associated with the warm earth. In the fields cultivated by humans, among the greening grain shoots, they make their hidden nests, hatch and feed their chicks. Larks never sit on tall trees and avoid dense, dark forests. From the shores of the warm sea to the taiga forests, larks live; over the wide steppe, over fields and meadows, their joyful songs can be heard almost all summer.
In past times, on the spring holiday, our mothers baked “larks” made from dough in Russian ovens. I remember well how my mother took the browned dough “larks” out of the oven. We rejoiced at the Russian spring holiday.
With “larks” in their hands, they happily ran out to the river bank to watch the earth awakening and listen to its spring sounds.

An excerpt from the book “Sounds of the Earth” by Ivan Sergeevich Sokolov - Mikitov
Listen carefully, standing in the forest or among an awakened flowering field, and if you still have sensitive hearing, you will certainly hear the wonderful sounds of the earth, which at all times people so affectionately called Mother Earth. The sounds of the earth are precious. It is perhaps impossible to list them. They replace music for us.
I remember with joy the sounds of the earth that once captivated me as a child. And is it not from those times that the best things that are embedded in my soul remain? I remember the mysterious sounds of the forest, the breath of the awakened native land. And now they excite and delight me. In the silence of the night, I hear even more clearly the breathing of the earth, the rustling of a leaf over a fresh mushroom rising from the ground, the fluttering of the night lungs of butterflies, the crow of a rooster in the nearest village.
How good and unforgettable every new morning is! Even before sunrise, the birds wake up and begin to sing joyfully. The awakened forest is full of life! There is nothing in nature more musical than the early morning. The streams ring even more silvery, the forest herbs smell more fragrant, and their aroma miraculously merges with the musical symphony of the morning.

Underline sentences that must remain (that is, cross out unimportant information).
Listen carefully, standing in a forest or among a flowering field, and if you still have sensitive hearing, you will certainly hear the wonderful sounds of the earth, which at all times people affectionately called Mother Earth. Be it the murmur of a spring stream or the splash of river waves on the coastal sand, the singing of birds or the thunder of a distant thunderstorm, the rustling of flowering meadow grasses or the crackling of frost on a winter night - all these are countless sounds of the earth, which city people, deafened by the noise of cars, have unfortunately lost the habit of hearing. It is all the more joyful for such a person, who has not yet completely lost the feeling of his native nature, to visit the forest, on the river, in the field, to gain spiritual strength, which, perhaps, is what we need most.
For farmers and hunters, the sounds of the earth are precious. It is perhaps impossible to list them. They replace music for them. And wasn’t it from these sounds that the best things that were captured in songs and great musical creations arose?
