Football is one of the most popular kinds of sports in Russia. The majority of Russians enjoy both watching it on TV and going to football matches. Some people say it is more pleasant to go to the stadium to watch football because of the atmosphere. However, other people disagree with them and claim that it is much more comfortable and, therefore, more enjoyable to stay at home and watch football on TV. In addition, there is a large amount of people who prefer playing this sport instead of just watching it. Most of teens, adults and even the elderly are football fans. What I am trying to say is that football is popular with people of all ages in Russia.
On Saturday my husband (took) me for a meal in a restaurant which (was recommended) in a local newspaper. The restaurant (has been) open for only three months, but it's already quite popular with young people even though it is 30 kilometres away. We enjoyed the evening as the meal was delicious and we (were served) wonderfully. Unfortunately, after we left the restaurant, we had a problem with the car as it wouldn't start though we ( had been trying) to get it started for nearly half an hour. We couldn't understand what (had happened) to the car and decided to leave it behind in the car park untill the following day. We (had) nothing else to do but call a taxi which came in about an hour.
