Summer was coming and the Barkers were thinking about
their holidays. John and Sally decided to go to Russia and
visit its famous cities  — Moscow and St  Petersburg. They
travelled to Moscow by plane. The Smirnovs met them at the
airport and they drove to the south of Moscow where the
Smirnovs lived. In Moscow John and Sally stayed with the
Smirnovs but in St  Petersburg they had a room in a small
hotel. John and Sally loved Moscow and they enjoyed
St  Petersburg very much.Unit

In the two cities they saw a lot of wonderful places  — streets
and squares, museums and theatres, picture galleries and
churches. They met some Russian people and made friends1
with them. John spoke some Russian and could understand
his new friends when they spoke it.The Barkers did the capital and saw the Kremlin, Red Square
and Moscow University. They saw a ballet in the Bolshoi
Theatre. In St  Petersburg they walked in the Summer Garden,
visited the Russian Museum and had a boat trip under the
beautiful bridges of the city. They decided that the Anichkov
Bridge was their favourite.
John and Sally enjoyed their holidays a lot. They sent the
Smirnovs an e-mail to thank them. They wrote they would
like to see the Smirnovs in London soon
