1. Read and mark the statements True/False/ Not Stated My Russian Adventure Last summer, I went on an amazing trip to Russia. First, I flew to Moscow, the capital. Wow! It was huge and busy, but also very beautiful. I saw the Red Square and St. Basil's Cathedral - like something from a fairy tale! People were friendly, but mostly spoke Russian, so I used a lot of "spasibo" (thank you) and smiles! In Moscow, I tried blini (pancakes) with sour cream and honey. They were delicious! I also saw some people wearing traditional clothes - long, colourful dresses with embroidered patterns. I bought a small matryoshka doll as a souvenir. Next, I took a train to St. Petersburg. It's a city on the sea, and very different from Moscow. It felt more European, with canals and bridges. I visited the Hermitage museum, which is enormous! I could have spent a week there. In St. Petersburg, I ate borscht, a red soup with beetroot and meat. It was very warm and tasty, perfect for the cooler weather. I also saw a ballet performance. The dancers wore beautiful costumes, and the music was fantastic. My trip to Russia was unforgettable. I learned a little bit of Russian, ate a lot of great food, and saw amazing things. I hope to go back one day! 1) The traveller speaks perfect Russian. 2) It was his first visit to Russia. 3) Matryoshka is a traditional Russian doll. 4) The traveller visited St. Petersburg before Moscow. 5) The traveller was impressed by the Hermitage museum. 6) The traveller spent a week in Russia. 7) The weather in St. Petersburg was rainy. 8) The traveller liked Russian food.
