– Where do you usually spend your summer holidays?

Ответ: Frankly speaking, my parents and I usually try to leave home for some other place. If you live the whole autumn, winter, and spring in the same surroundings, you are really fed up with them, and you need a change. For example, we went to Lake Baikal, last summer, and lived in a small village at the lake.

Ответ: As I try to keep fit, I like skiing very much. My friends and I go skiing almost every day during our winter holidays. But if the weather is too frosty, we go to the gym and work out properly.

Ответ: As I have just mentioned above, my family and I travel every summer. So, we travel once a year without fail. We like to travel both abroad and within this country. It depends on money, you know.

– What type of transport do you find the most convenient? Why?

Ответ: As for me, I think the planes are the most convenient, because they are the fastest kind of transport. It takes you a few hours to get to a distant city, while it takes a number of days by some other transport.

– What place in your country would you recommend a foreign tourist to visit? Why?

Ответ: I would definitely recommend a foreign tourist to visit Moscow, because it is the greatest centre of cultural, economical, political life of Russia. There are lots of sights worth seeing here, and various events take place in Moscow every day.
