based on Unit 1, Listening+ ex. 1 Listen and decide which of the four statements is true. Check this statement Mr BrownAndrey We're thinking of visiting Russia this summer but we can spend only five days in your country. Where do you think we can go? Moscow or St Petersburg, I think. Well, Moscow is the capital of Russia but why St Petersburg? St Petersburg is the most beautiful Russian city with its old palaces and squares, with its bridges, museums and theatres, with its white nights, the Neva River, the Summer Garden and Nevsky Prospect. Once, St Petersburg was the capital of Russia too. When was it? St Petersburg became our capital at the beginning of the 18th century. Peter the Great founded the city in 1703 and moved the capital from Moscow to St Petersburg in 1712. So for more than two centuries St Petersburg was the most important city of Russia. When's the best time to visit St Petersburg? I think it's beautiful in all seasons but maybe June will be the best time. The weather is usually fine and warm and you'll see the famous white nights when people can read out in the street in the middle of the night because it's so light. The true statement is: Mr Brown knows what places in Russia he wants to visit. Andrey names some places in St Petersburg that make it a beautiful city. St Petersburg was the capital of Russia for three centuries. Andrey only likes St Petersburg in fine weather.
