We decided to (0) push on and try to reach Venice by Friday afternoon – before the weekend hordes (16) turned up. Susan was eager to see the city of waterways, as she had never been before, while I wanted to look up an old friend called Davina, who was now studying Italian at university in Venice. Davina had given me an open invitation to more or less (17) drop in at any time, and she was as good as her word, for she not only put us up, but also spent the whole weekend (18) pointing out the sights to us. She had never met Susan before, but they (19) got on immediately, which was a relief. My intention had been to pay her a flying visit, and then head off to Trieste, but we had such a wonderful time that we (20) ended up staying for four days. Venice did not disappoint us, (21) living up to its reputation as the most beautiful of cities.
On a less triumphant note, poor Susan lost her handbag, including a large amount of cash and her bank cards. She ran up a huge bill phoning home and contacting her bank in London. At least she’d had enough sense to (22) take out travel insurance, so this (23) paid for the costs of most of the loss.
My name is Julia and I’m 15 years old. I live in Krasnodar, which is a large city in the south region of Russia. My family is not big. It’s just me, my parents and my grandma. The school, which I attend, is situated in a walking distance from us. My teacher, Olga Vladimirovna, often organizes school trips to other cities. Last year, we went to Saint- Petersburg for three days. It was during the holidays in May. Since then, I fell in love with this city. I’ve realized that it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. I know that there are many other nice cities in our country and abroad, but none as charming as Saint-Petersburg. Perhaps, the first thing that I noticed, when we arrived, was the unique architecture. The second eye-catching thing is the abundance of bridges across the river Neva. I can hardly distinguish which building or bridge was the best, as they are all magnificent. The Winter Palace was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful structures. I also liked the Nikolaevskiy Palace and the Savior on the Spilled Blood Cathedral. I regret that we had so little time to see all the sights, but we managed to visit Peterhof, which reminded me a kingdom of fountains, and Tsarskoe Selo. Peterhof was built on the orders of Peter the Great - the remarkable person, who ruled the country in the 17th and 18th centuries. Saint- Petersburg was even named after him and all the glorious architecture, which can now be seen in the city, is his merit. During his reign, best European masters were invited to erect the palaces, cathedrals, mansions, bridges and noble monuments. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the famous White Nights of Saint Petersburg, as they take place in June. But that’s a good reason to visit my favourite city one more time.
