Unit 6. My country in the world. Lesson 8. Is your country worth visiting? - номер 1, страница 159.

Условие.

1. Online, people exchange their impressions and opinions about travelling to different places around the world.

1) Here are some opinions about travelling to Russia. Are they positive or negative?

“My main reason for visiting Russia was its unique culture and architecture; they are simply too great to miss! I personally had no problem in Moscow and would encourage people who are thinking of visiting the capital to do it. You are sure to find lots of entertainment and learn a different way of life. However, Moscow is not cheap. Food, transport and services are more expensive there than anywhere I've ever been to.” (Simon, England)

“While Moscow is a noisy city, the villages and small cities of Russia are quiet. Russians are very hospitable, friendly and, perhaps, the most openhearted people, but you have to get their respect first.” (Laura, the USA)

“Russia is of course a lovely place to go to. It has so much to offer (just think about world-famous museums, theatres and galleries), but it does not provide easy or enjoyable travelling across the country. However, there are good tourist facilities in Moscow, St Petersburg and some other large cities. The metro in Moscow is impressive, but it isn't cheap.” (Raquel, Spain)

“Today, Russia is not attractive to many tourists for a variety of reasons. Firstly, English is not spoken or understood except in the major cities. Without knowing the language it is difficult to travel in Russia. Then, hotels and trains are not very comfortable.” (Joann, Canada)

“Russia is worth visiting because it is one of the most important and influential countries in the world. Besides, Moscow is a wonderful city. I was greatly impressed with the city and the sights. And what is more, where else will you find such beautiful landscapes?” (Hitomi, Japan)

Ответ:

The people give the following arguments for and against visiting Russia:

Люди приводят следующие аргументы за и против посещения России:

Arguments FOR visiting Russia	Arguments AGAINST visiting Russia
Аргументы ЗА посещение России	Аргументы ПРОТИВ посещения России
Unique culture and architecture	It is expensive (especially in Moscow)
Hospitable, friendly and openhearted people	The language barrier (English is not widely spoken)
World-famous museums, theatres and galleries	Travelling across the country is not always easy
Impressive sights and beautiful landscapes	Hotels and trains are not very comfortable
A chance to learn a different way of life

I agree with most of the arguments. On the one hand, Russia must be a very interesting country to visit because of its rich history and famous sights like the Kremlin. I've seen pictures of its landscapes and they look amazing. On the other hand, I can understand the difficulties. The language barrier seems like a real challenge if you don't speak Russian, and major cities are often expensive everywhere in the world. I think every country has its pros and cons for tourists.

Я согласен с большинством аргументов. С одной стороны, Россия, должно быть, очень интересная страна для посещения из-за её богатой истории и известных достопримечательностей, таких как Кремль. Я видел фотографии её пейзажей, и они выглядят потрясающе. С другой стороны, я могу понять и трудности. Языковой барьер кажется настоящей проблемой, если ты не говоришь по-русски, а крупные города часто бывают дорогими в любой стране мира. Я думаю, у каждой страны есть свои плюсы и минусы для туристов.
