After Moscow St Petersburg |
is the second largest and one of the |
most important cities in Russia. It is also one of the greatest business and
cultural centres. |
|
|
|
|
|
St. Petersburg was founded in |
1703 by Peter the Great, the man of |
||||
good intelligence and character. It |
was built on the outskirts1 of Russia, |
||||
in the delta |
of the |
river Neva |
that |
flows into the Gulf of Finland thereby |
|
giving the |
country |
an |
outlet |
to Europe.2 Russia became a naval state. |
|
The city began as |
a |
fortress |
and |
a port. |
|
. In 1712 the new city, named St. Petersburg, became the capital of
Russia and the whole country began to take part in |
its development. The |
||||
|
of the northern capital continued to grow. It |
received |
the |
poetic |
|
*** |
''Northern Palmire". |
|
|
|
|
, Ь |
1914, St. Petersburg was renamed3 Petrograd |
and |
then, |
ten |

it was called Leningrad. The first home-made tractors, |
turbines, |

"Lenin" — all |
these |

hands of the Leningrad workers and scientists, |

the |
great |

P0ser, |
gave the |
first |
concert |
in 1944 when the blockade was |
still |
on. |

In 1993 Leningrad was renamed St. Petersburg again. St. petCr_ can be proud of its wonderful places of interest, its museums a n d ^ tres, monuments and squares, gardens and bridges. There are abom*^
bridges and the |
main waterway to the city is the Neva River. |

Most people would like to have their holiday in summer. Summer is really the best season for rest and we always look forward to1 it.
People spend their holidays in different ways according to2 their taste. Some don't like crowds of people when they are on their holidays. So they usually go to a small quiet place somewhere on the shore of a sea or on the bank of a river or lake.
Others, just on the contrary,3 like spending their holidays in a good company not to feel alone.
As soon as summer sets in, crowds of people go on a tour about the country from the North to the South, from the West to the East and vice versa. Those who have summer cottages in the country usually go there to rest and do gardening. Forest, sunshine, water to bathe in, that's what they want during their holidays.
Some people travel abroad to see new countries, to meet and make friends with new people. The trips to Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, and some other countries have become very popular. However, some people go to Northern countries, for example, Finland or Sweden to get acquainted5 with the life of our nearest neighbours.
After choosing the kind of holiday you must think how to get to the place of your choice. There are many ways of travelling. You can go by train, by plane, by ship, you can also go on foot or even by helicopter. To my mind,6 one of the most pleasant things in the world is making a journey in a car. You can set out when you like, stop when and where you like, you enjoy the places you were dreaming of.
Tastes differ, so choose for yourself any kind of holiday you like.

(After the tour)
PETER: I hear, Nick, you have been to the Crimea lately.
NICK: That's right. We had a good company. Some of us were with our |
|
wives. |
|
P.: How did you get there |
and where did you stay? |
N.: We went there by two |
cars. You see, cheap hotels are very difficult |
to find in summer but |
we were lucky1 to find a small private one |
not far from the seashore. |
|
P.: What was the weather |
like? |
N.: Wonderful! It was such a pleasure to sunbathe2 on the shore and swim in the Black Sea!
P.: Did you have any entertainments3 there?
N.: Good orchestras came there twice and we went to their concerts. Be-
sides, every Saturday there was a disco in the town hall and we |
|
sometimes went there to dance. |
|
P.: You |
certainly visited the Aivazovsky Art Museum in Feodosiya, |
didn't |
you? |
N.: Of course, we did. It was a nice voyage on board a small ship. But
|
the gallery! It made a great impression4 on all of us. I'll remember |
