When people travel to new places, they often choose the local museums as a must-see place. Sometimes museums are even more attractive than the most famous place of interest. This phenomenon can be easily explained if the function of museums is taken into account. As we have known, museums can help us know the history, the customs and the most representative products of that place. Different places have different history. And the most convenient way to know it is to visit the local museum.

Speaker B

Last year when I travelled in some region and went to the oldest city there, I went to history museum to explore the course of its development. With the background knowledge provided by the museum, I found that it was easier for me to understand the city. So the museum can clear away the barriers between tourists and the city by making them familiar with its history. To a tourist, the most attractive part of a place is usually its customs, which can be demonstrated by the local museum.

Speaker C

Every place has its own representative products, which are usually handcrafts. Tourists can have the access to a wonderful show of these handicrafts in the local museum. For example, in my native town — the most famous pottery-making place in the region, tourists can be excited by the beautiful pottery products and the complicated making process exhibited in the pottery museum. It will be a pity for a tourist not to experience the wonderful show of the local products in the museum.

Speaker D

Museums are fun. Even if you are not interested in art or history, there is always something to get your attention. Many museums now have what they call “hands-on” exhibits. These were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children. These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you are looking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in the museum.

Speaker E

People often enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my hometown there is a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made of potatoes. It also tells us all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key chains and potato dolls. People enjoy visiting this museum because it is different. It is not something they would find in their hometown and the museum’s curators enjoy talking about the Great Potato.

Speaker F

When you arrive in a place, ask which kinds of museums they have. To do this you can know what the people there like. For example, if there are a lot of art museums, the people must like art a lot. So you can enjoy an atmosphere of art there. If there is a history museum, it’s the best way to know the history of the area. Want to visit a nature museum? It’s a good idea. There must be introduction about the natural environment there. We can get information about why people there eat this kind of food, maybe it’s because of the weather.

В предложении "Did you have any difficulty ___________ (get) a visa to Georgia?" необходимо вставить правильную форму глагола "get". В данном случае используется выражение "have difficulty", которое также требует герундия, то есть формы глагола с окончанием -ing. Фраза "have difficulty + gerund" используется для описания проблем или сложностей, связанных с каким-либо действием. В этом контексте говорящий интересуется, испытывал ли слушатель какие-либо затруднения в процессе получения визы в Грузию. Это формулировка позволяет акцентировать внимание на трудностях, которые могут возникать при выполнении определенных действий, и подчеркивает, что получение визы может быть непростой задачей. Таким образом, использование "getting" в этом предложении не только завершает его грамматически, но и уточняет смысл, гармонично вписываясь в общее значение вопроса..

В данном предложении правильно использовать слово "would", так как оно подчеркивает регулярное действие в прошлом.

Для решения задания нам нужно нужно выбрать подходящее время и форму глагола. Помни, что в английском языке также существуют неправильные глаголы - их форму мы смотрим в словаре. В данном случае ответ CAME

В предложении "I made him _________ (promise) that he wouldn't tell anybody what happened." необходимо вставить правильную форму глагола "promise". В данном случае используется структура "make someone do something", где "make" требует после себя глагол в базовой форме (инфинитив без частицы "to").

В предложении "I don't approve of people ___________ (kill) animals for fun" необходимо вставить правильную форму глагола "kill". В данном случае используется выражение "approve of", которое требует герундия—форма глагола с окончанием -ing. Таким образом, структура "approve of + gerund" служит для выражения мнения о каком-либо действии. В этом контексте говорящий сообщает, что он не одобряет действия, связанные с убийством животных ради развлечения. Предложение подчеркивает этическую позицию и указывает на осуждение действия, которое воспринимается как жестокое и неправильное. Это выражает не только личное мнение, но и более широкую моральную позицию относительно обращения с животными..

I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a small pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much.

Speaker B

Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have a town car to ensure a comfortable living. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It’s not free, but it’s often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially, if you don’t have a car, you are better off in the city.

Speaker C

I like the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy the challenge very much. Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.

Speaker D

An important thing for me in a big city is the diversity of people. Our society is made up of people of different nations, races, religions, abilities and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a small town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring. So, people who are so different doing so many things in their lives is really great in a big city. Sometimes, I just sit on a public bench and simply watch the variegated streams of citizens.

Speaker E

To begin with, the city is the symbol of human civilization and there are many facilities for living, recreation and health care. Therefore, living there is more convenient than living in the countryside. For example, we can find a plenty of malls around our neighborhood, where we can buy everyday necessities at a low price. Furthermore, people are more concerned about their health and safety than other things in their lives. In big cities, medical facilities and emergency services are more easily available than in the countryside.

Speaker F

Architecture is the urban landscape. If a person has an appreciation of architecture, a city can be visual excitement. A modern metropolis is a mountain range of height, light and solidness. And then there are the old buildings: the quaint, unspoiled side-street or shops and homes from a distant age. If a person lived all of his life in one large city, he would continue to discover its architectural secrets into his old age.

Saint Petersburg is a city known for its rich history and stunning architecture. The Hermitage Museum has been visited by millions of tourists from around the world. Many of the beautiful palaces were constructed during the reign of Peter the Great. The White Nights Festival is celebrated every summer in the city, attracting visitors from all over. The Neva River is often crossed by boats during the warm months. The famous bridges have been raised to allow ships to pass through. Numerous canals were built to enhance the city's intricate landscape. The historic center of Saint Petersburg is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many stories are told about the city's role in Russian history. The Winter Palace was formerly used as a royal residence. The iconic Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was completed in the early 20th century. New art exhibitions are frequently hosted in various galleries throughout the city. The Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum is organized annually, showcasing the city's influence. During the winter, the canals are frozen and are often crossed on foot. Many local delicacies are enjoyed by visitors in cozy restaurants. The city's vibrant culture is celebrated through numerous festivals held throughout the year.

В предложении "Sasha used ________ (play) chess a lot, but he doesn't play very much now." необходимо вставить правильную форму глагола "play". Здесь мы сталкиваемся с конструкцией "used to", которая используется для описания действий или ситуаций, которые часто происходили в прошлом, но больше не имеют место в настоящем.

To be honest, I haven’t travelled much yet. We went to a maths competition in Kazan last year, and it was the first time I ever left my region! I loved Kazan, it is such a unique combination of historical and modern architecture. I wish I could visit more places in the future. This autumn we are hoping to go to a competition in India! I’m very excited about this trip, I hope everything works out fine with the weather and everything. It’s great when studying well gives you the opportunity to see the world.

Speaker B

I have visited three countries already, and of course I’d like to visit more. My parents are avid travellers — they have been all over the world! They like hiking and cycling, and they were actually able to cross a lot of countries on foot or on their bikes. When I was growing up, I always wanted to join them, but they believed that I was too young for such exhausting trips. Of course, it was very disappointing, but when I was actually allowed to join them on a trip to Mongolia, I realized how hard it was indeed! Still, it was an unbelievable experience.

Speaker C

You know, I actually really like my own region. Here we have everything: the mountains, the forests, and the sea. My friends think that I’m missing out by not venturing out more, and I always argue with them about it. I know our area like the back of my hand, and I love showing visitors around. Some people suggested that I could be a good tour guide, and I’m seriously considering studying touristic business at the university as my major.

Speaker D

I travel pretty often, but there is one serious problem — I’m really afraid of flying. I would really like to visit some faraway places — the thing is, it would take a very long time by train from where I live. It’s very disappointing, but, unfortunately, I can’t manage my fear of flying well enough to overcome it completely. As a result, I’m pretty limited in my choices of travelling destinations. Hopefully, I’ll beat my phobia one day — or scientists will invent teleportation!

Speaker E

I’m not a huge fan of travelling, and here is why — I can only go places in summer, and travelling during the summer is a complete nightmare. Going by bus is incredibly hot and uncomfortable, trains and planes are packed with other tourists who all want to visit the same places... If I spend too much time in a hot and crowded environment, I might get sick, and a couple of my vacations were ruined like that. So I’d rather save up money, stay at home and simply walk around the town.

Speaker F

We travel quite often with my friends. I really love that we are such a tight- knit crew. One person is always responsible for buying tickets, another — for booking the hotel, and so on. Personally, I am in charge of our schedule — I plan everything related to sightseeing, exhibitions, tours and everything like that. I’m a big fan of this role, as I like doing research and considering options. Our trips together always work like a clock — no surprises or disappointments!
